The sun rose shining bright and leaving soft kisses all over my face through the transparent curtains. We had a blast yesterday. Getting all comfy and cozy under the layers of blankets, we decided to binge watch some comedy shows with the ear phones on.
I remember having hard time to control my squealings, I remember clutching my stomach, I remember breathing heavily, I remember my cheeks hurting at a point, I remember covering my mouth to stop those noises of laughs reach out to the others living under the same roof.
I remember his laughs , how his eyes disappeared whenever he laughs, how his shoulders shook, how he would slap his thighs watching those funny scenes, how he would roll over my lap clutching his stomach.
We were so into it that we lost the track of time. When we ran out of snacks and finally stopped, we realized it was 3 a.m.
There was no way I would let him walk home at that time on the deserted path and die because of cold,hence, I told him to sleepover.
After begging him several times for his own safety he finally blessed my ears with an 'okay' as a reply. " but I'll sleep on the floor " he added. I looked at him not believing my ears. I opened my mouth a throw a bunch of scolds but resisted the urge when I saw his determined look . I let outh a breath. I ran my plams over my face before speaking. " as you wish. Atleast you won't die in Pneumonia or get possessed by a ghost."
I proceeded toward the wardrobe for extra blankets. Once I was done making his bed with his help, I placed the heater on the table beside my bed . " what are you doing? " he asked confused ,while I slipped under the blanket and laid down on the mattress which he supposed to sleep. "Neha, get up . " he said he proceeded to drag me out from the mattress. I stopped him placing my palms infront of him."jeez, cool down. I don't have any intention to sacrifice my cozy bed , neither my beauty sleep. I was just checking if you can survive until the morning. " .
I got up and threw myself on my soft cozy bed and sighed in fuzziness. He laid down and looked up to me . I was already looking at him." What would you do if I wanted to sleep in your cozy bed ? Would you sacrifice you beauty sleep?" he asked raising his brow with the same cocky smirk. I replied "why would I? I would sleep with you on this bed. Duh! " .
I scoffed as I proceeded to roll my eyes , but, they stopped right where they were. The realization of the obliviousness about the words I say hit me . He looked at me with a blank face before cackling up. I looked away hiding my crescent, pinkish face." You should choose your words carefully. " he let out between his chuckles."I should." I stopped the urge to speak further as the reminiscences of past knocked on the door of my memories.
It was a hot day of summer. I was waiting for him at the crosswalk nearby the school. I ditched school .It was almost two weeks since our last meeting. I missed him and I knew he did too.He said, will make some time between his work to meet , hence, i was there . He texted asking to meet him here and also said today he will take to his apartment. I was so excited.
Standing there when the sun was shining really bright , I tapped my feet at the rythm of the song blasting at the earphones as sweats were flowing from my forehead. My eyes searched for him .
The sudden tightness around my waist made me flinch. I looked behind and plucked out the earphones." Hey baby, sorry for making you wait.". I let out a breath of relaxation. I didn't even realized when my hand held my chest."you scared me! " I cried. Laughing , he replied " did l ? " I rolled my eyes . He knew the answer and I knew he did .
It took me seconds to be aware of the surroundings and the positions we were standing. Heat crawled up to my cheeks before I could stop . " Adi-" he cut me off." Baby, it's Baby for you. How many time I told you to not call me by my name ." He muttered . " Baby, let me go.." I tried to free myself "..people are watching. " I whispered as I looked at him with pleading eyes . "I don't want to." He cried . "Please Ad- I mean Baby, what if my parents accidentally see us ? " he rolled his eyes but finally let go of me .
"Are you mad? " I asked. There came no reply. I took his hand in mine and stood infront of him as I tried to look at his eyes."Baby..I love you . " then he finally looked at me. "You know very well how to get me, don't you? " he asked. I smiled cheekily. "Gosh! You drive me nuts! Let's go from here before I lost my self control and kiss you right here." I looked at him shocked before slapping his shoulders lightly " shut up! " . "Are you blushing? Just because I said I will kiss you?..how will you react when i will tell you all those dirty things-" " Aditya! Not here ! Please. " I cried covering my face. He laughed.
My eyes wondered around the living room, swallowing all the details . He came with a bottle of water. " here, have some." I took the bottle and chugged the cool water down my throat. I could feel the side of the couch sunking. Once I was done , I looked at the side to find him starring at me biting his lips."what? Is there something on my face?" I asked. " yeah, sexiness.." He let out. I looked down blushing. ".. I am so lucky to have you, baby".
