La Femme Fatale!

I always remember that day when i met her.God knows what happened to me that day!
Usually i am a very boring person who never interacted much.I was what you can call an introvert.But just remembering her  has a hold on me to this very day.This happened eleven years back.
I was in the second year of my Mcom and at the age of 23 was very much a loner.No friends ,no travelling mates also!Well but that day i realised i had another more darker part within me.It was the 24th of May and i was in a hurry to get to my college as i had to submit my accounts project.
VERY IMPORTANT!As i was already late i thought i would catch an auto to get to college.But no rickshaw came.What a bunch of idiots!And then i did ask two rickshaws with both charging prices to through the roof!"What about the meters"i asked.Without replying they just left.God!On this day out of all.But had i accepted the prices this day would be normal and would never haunt me in the coming years!
And then i saw an Audi stop some distance away and a girl get out.After that what happened must have been a dream or a film story.The girl had the most striking figure,jet black hair with blond streaks,big lovely brown eyes and clothes(even though i must say a bit free to show her lovely coffee brown skin)that did full justice to her.I do not know what came over me.But i did notice her driver( i.e. if he was)call out to her.But she just ignored him and looked around.Suddenly she saw me and walked towards me and asked on my face,"Would you like a cup of coffee with me."But the thing more shocking was my reply.Before i knew it i had agreed to the date(as i thought it!).We walked a bit without talking until we came up to a Cafe Coffee Day cafe and entered.She had not uttered a word and i was just staring at her.I had forgotten the project the tim e and all my surroundings.
She orderted a double latte and looked at me for the first time.I asked for water!The man behind the counter looked at me with a "are you alright "look.But my eyes were only on her.What was wrong with me,why could'nt i look away.But she was aware of this and when we sat on the table smiled and told"You like me don't you."I was taken aback not at the question but at my own reaction,for i had already touched her hand!Damn!What was happening to me.Why was i behaving like this?I admit i had noticed girls but what was there i her that attracted me like my life depended on it!
And then i realised  that other boys whether alone or with girls were also staring at her!And then a weird rage took over me and i shouted"Stop staring!"Oh great now i was turning possessive!But all she did was smile mockingly at me and then to my further horror wink at one of the oogling boys!My heart and mind shattered out there only!The other boy grinned and cast a victorious glance at the other boys and me.But she was not done yet!Then she touched my hand that sent a current of warm blood up to my head and as if brought my broken heart back to life!She had the smile of a goddess and her touch and eyes were magnetically attractive.Her full red lips twisted into dark red arc of dark delight at the sight of my helplessness to such trivialo gestures from her.
She was toying with me and i could not do a thing.I was enchanted,spell bound whatever you call it.
And then she brought her mouth close to the side of my face and whispered in her light,attractive voice which sent a cold shudder down my spine. She had said,"What a LOSER,you are!"And then she suddenly left. I was left frozen and then i realised that she was gone.I did not submit my project that day.Actually i did not go to college for the next two weeks!Instead i would go to that same place and wait for two hours waiting to see whether she would come.But she never came.She had just  vanished leaving me crazy,just the way she had appeared.
To this day i do not know who she was,where she came from or even what was her NAME!All i know was that she had left me crazy enough to remember her even after eleven long years!She was truly LA FEMME FATALE!
