Next when he saw her was in a tattoo studio. He was standing near the door for a few minutes when Sky was being chased by Loran and her laughter with brothers was still the same as it was in school or later. It didn't change with age.
With her choice of clothes, she looked a lot younger than her younger brother. When she was close to another man other than brothers, he thought she had a special relationship but the man clearly denied it. She still played around with him making fun and laughing.
Next, as usual, He was watching a sports channel, He identified Loran instantly, on the second glimpse he identified the girl as Sky. He had smiled like a stupid throughout the day remembering how she looked. That look was almost similar to how she was in school days.
It was half a year, then he saw her in the award ceremony. He fought within himself and called her. As always, he asked she responded and he hung up when he was called to backstage.
He thought she would stay for dinner and meet all business people for networking but he also knew that wasn't her style. He hoped but she left with her brothers. When he came out he saw Aston Martin leaving which he had seen in school.
He asked to prepare papers for the chief position and came personally but she rejected without batting an eyelid. He thought he would get an opportunity to talk to her if she joins the Construere but it vanished just like that.
He called his assistant to get the car near the cafe and left for his office with complex thoughts.
Sam removed his sunglasses once he left. "Let's leave." Both left the cafe.
Sky returned soon and headed the meeting. Then worked till evening. Arlo and Sky left with Sam in Rolls Royce Phantom.
After some time, Sam curiously asked, "Sky! What to do think about your senior you met today?"
Arlo who was sitting like the sovereign became all ears to Sky who was in the shotgun seat.
"He is good, well mannered, he is very cautious about me." Sky replied to what she felt.
Sam glanced at her, "So do you know how he feels for you?"
Sky hummed making Arlo furrow his brows. He wanted to flick on her head and ask, 'Why did you meet him then?' But he didn't react.
Sam looked at her and raised his brows. Sky knew he was curious to know and explained. "I never talked to anybody by their looks. He was the same. He was a school hunk for a few years. He used to get numerous cards, gifts, and whatnot. I was me, I never cared about him. But my classmates used to tell he was looking at me whenever we went around school or during school activities."
"I was famous for my behavior, I mean boisterous and overprotectiveness towards my brothers so I didn't feel anything special because most of the senior boys were scared of me. He used to find a reason to talk but..."
"You would answer him and mind your work." Sam finished it.
"Exactly! He graduated first and after a year I got my first phone. He... was my first virtual boyfriend."
"What?" Sam ad Arlo asked in unison and Sky chuckled looking at them.
"It was created by my classmates. Senior had asked my number from his friend's brother who was in my class. That boy gave my number to Senior and announced in class messenger group that 'Handsome Hunk Harry asked our Goddess number'. That's how I got to know Senior got my number. There were rumors until I finished school. That's the reason Loran hates him. But I never received a call or message from him till the Architectonic award ceremony. I didn't even remember him till Alumni meet. It seems like he hasn't forgotten me yet. I'm so cold to him. But I don't understand why he was interested in me and maybe is interested in me."
Sam checked the rearview mirror and glanced at Sky, "You were smart enough to know he liked you and smart to know he is still interested in you. Where was your smartness when it came about Arlo?"
Sky pinched his arm as she knew Sam already know the answer to his questions. Arlo too knew the answer hence he looked outside of the window.
Sam chuckled seeing their reaction. "Sky! Are you sure you want me to be with you guys? I don't want to be a hindrance between..."
"Mr.Cox! Don't even dream about escaping from me giving Arlo as a reason. When you get a better reason, we will talk then."
'Overbearing' Both men had the same thought.
When they reached the Harley mansion, Sky waited for Peter to come, "Any place in mind to go?"
"Huh?" Peter didn't understand and looked at Sam. The latter explained, "Didn't Sky said we will go outing as she didn't allow you to join us to Country Y?"
Peter was delighted and started to think about places.
Sky was waiting for Peter to think and respond. Arlo whispered to her and went in. Sam spoke instead of Peter, "Sky, go and rest. Let him think. He will tell tomorrow."
Sky nodded and sent them off before going inside. After dinner, Sky was on a video call with her brothers when Arlo entered their bedroom.
"Should I go out?" Arlo asked seeing her look at him thinking she may need privacy.
Sky shook her head at him and continued talking to brothers for sometime before hanging up.
"You don't miss a day without wishing them good morning and making a call. How do you manage that?" Arlo asked as he sat on the bed and pulled her next to him.
Sky elbowed him but stayed seated as she leaned on him. "Will we forget to eat? No! The same way."
"Sky! Can't you choose something else as an example other than food?" Arlo didn't know what to do with the foodie wife.
Sky gave it a thought and shook her head, "That's a better example. I can't say Sun, moon, and stars. That's too weird."
Arlo smiled resignedly and saw the pictures which Sky was viewing that were taken on the weekend with Mia. "This is good." Arlo knew she was choosing one picture for her dairy.
"Why this? Why not this?" Sky pointed at another similar picture.
