The Law of Attraction

Chelsy left the mansion the day before, and Ram let Miley take care of everything. He deeply sighed with a little melancholy in his heart because he somehow felt lonely without her in his sight.

He was attracted to Chelsy since the first time he saw her bright smile at him that night in the restaurant, but he thought it was natural to have such kind of attraction for the opposite gender, thinking it was because he liked her genuine smile.

But then Chelsy arrived at his doorsteps unexpectedly. At first he did not entertain that feeling, but as days passed by and he got to talk to her and know her more, that attraction turned into something much more.

Yet, he still ignored it and thought of enjoying her company just like how it was going, talking on various topics and making each other laugh every once in a while.

But everything changed when Chelsy kissed him that day. He felt his body tremendously react, not just physically but also emotionally as well. It triggered many dormant feelings inside him that he didn't even know existed after so many years of living lonely.

Ram was yet not sure how he should take the matter further with her. But when Chelsy said she wanted to leave, his heart trembled, and even the thought of her leaving made him panicked, because he did not want her to be out of his sight since he was already used to her presence and company beside him.

Ram sighed again as all these thoughts passed through his mind while he was still inside his car. He never thought that in this lifetime he would still come to a point where he could feel an intense emotion towards a woman like what he felt before for Carie.

"Sir, we're here…" he heard his driver inform, interrupting his train of thoughts.

The car stopped at the parking lot of the building where Miley's apartment was located. Miley used this apartment during her college days since it was only a walking distance from the university where she graduated from. His daughter suggested letting Chelsy use it since she had enrolled Chelsy at the same university.

He stepped out of the car and walked inside the building and headed to the floor where Miley's apartment was located. He had a bouquet of flowers with him because he noticed Chelsy loved colorful flowers from their garden.

He was actually nervous because he felt like wooing a woman was something new to him since it had been long since he last did something romantic for a woman.

He paused at the door and inhaled and exhaled loudly. It even took him a while to buzz the doorbell. He was about to push the button when the door suddenly opened.

"Sir?" Chelsy asked in disbelief, seeing Ram standing outside the door with a bouquet in his hand.

Ram smiled and asked, "Are you going out?" Chelsy's cheeks turned pink as she smiled back and answered, "Yeah, I was just going to buy some noodles…"

Ram creased his forehead. It was almost lunch and she would eat just noodles?

"I'm sorry, please come in…" Chelsy quickly said and opened the door wide, realizing Ram was still standing outside.

"Can you just call me Ram? I think calling me Sir is just too inappropriate now." Ram instructed as he handed the bouquet to Chelsy.

"For you…" He said with a smile.

"Thank you… They are beautiful," Chelsy timidly murmured with a beautiful smile carved on her face.

"Why are you buying noodles?" Ram asked. Chelsy smiled and said, "I was craving to eat some Ramen but I haven't gone grocery shopping yet so I thought I would just buy noodles from the convenience store on the ground floor."

"You didn't inform you were coming here. If I knew beforehand, I would have cooked something for lunch…" Chelsy continued.

Ram had a gentle smile on his face and said, "I came to ask you out for lunch. Sorry, I'm not much into mobile phones, so it didn't cross me to call you or send a message. Usually, it's the butler who handles my mobile phone and I instruct him to call and send messages on my behalf. You know how we oldies are not updated with the high technology of gadgets these days."

Chelsy chuckled and said, "Later I will teach you how to use your mobile phone."

Ram then brought her to a restaurant just near her apartment, and they just walked to it. Chelsy could not help but feel overjoyed inwardly with how gentlemanly and thoughtful Ram was. He made sure she was safe, and would even change position and let her walk on the safer side of the road.

He even opened the door of the restaurant for her and his each gesture left a deeper impact on her as only a few men in their generation would care to do those little things nowadays. Even while eating lunch, Ram was taking really good care of her. No wonder why she often heard those mature men were the best lovers.

She had never had any preference for older or younger men as a partner for her, but just followed where her heart would lead her to and her heart led her to Ram's way.

She unconsciously giggled when she thought how her heart had an excellent taste.

"A penny for your thoughts?" she heard Ram ask with a smile. Chelsy smiled back and said, "Nothing, just that I feel like everything is still not real. It's just too good to be true."

After lunch, they walked back to the apartment. Chelsy could feel her hand tingling whenever the back of her hand brushed with his while walking back to the apartment together, and she was a bit disappointed that Ram did not grab her hand so they could hold hands while walking.

'Should I take the initiative?' but then Chelsy brushed off that thought since it was their first-day dating and it could be too soon to hold hands?

'But we have already kissed!' she mused, then scolded herself because she was the one who kissed him.

Back in the apartment, Chelsy and Ram sat closer together because Chelsy was teaching him how to properly use his mobile phone.

"Here, you can also download some games," Chelsy added, and she unconsciously stared at Ram, who was smiling brightly like a child as he downloaded apps he liked.

Her eyes fixed on his lips and she didn't know what came to her that she leaned towards him and gave him a peck on his lips.

Her face reddened in embarrassment as she quickly backed her head down.

"I'm sorry… Uhm… I just…" She was about to explain herself with her eyes down since she could not dare meet his gaze when she suddenly felt his hand on her nape and Ram's soft lips pressed on hers.

Chelsy's eyes blinked, feeling his lips pressed firmly on her lips with his gentle movements of kissing. She then closed her eyes because she felt like she was on cloud nine and she definitely did not want him to stop kissing her.
