BECKY:
[...] I wait, and it feels like the most decisive moment in my life.
This scene was too familiar: In movies. Ironically, I've never thought I'd be the nervous one, and I wonder if everyone felt the same... as if they suddenly had something to lose; Even by standing here, anticipating, filled with nonsensical and contradictory sensations under the daylight sun.
What if she says no?
What if it is all in my head?
Finally, she walks up to me and wraps her arms around my waist. This closeness was instantaneous, yet I couldn't hold back my disappointment when she pulls away.
- " What is it that is so important? "
I muster up my courage, I double-check my words, my tone, my voice.
-" Promise me you will not answer me right away. "
She nods.
- " I like you "
Deep inside me, something was flickering, maybe more words, maybe the urge to decipher her expression, or maybe the unshakable feeling that I was not up for it.
In fact,
I breathe out, with more ease. "Will you go out with me? ".
Her stillness, breathing, posture, even the way her pupils widened, how she pursed her lips, it all reminded me of the other night; at the backyard of the villa. The only difference was that, at the time, we didn't know we'd come this far.
I held her hand and everything changed.
-" I like you too .. "
My lips stretch into a smile.
-" .. but only for a week ",
and it dies down.
...
-" Starting today, our relationship expires in a week".
She cuts me in. " Take it or leave it "
***
-"I'll take it"
I must be intoxicated.
I was a statue in her tender embrace. As much as my pride would have been hurt if I got rejected, my chest twisted at the absurdity of the feeling tingling inside; I warned myself to expect nothing, but maybe, I wanted a fairytale ending too...
Maybe I needed a fairytale ending..
Will a week be enough to rejoice in all of it?
A Bittersweet feeling washed over me.
Right now, it was as though we were the only two people on Earth. Nothing has felt this right.
We were a quest to one another. Equally. Or maybe, a prize to conquer? One glimpse at her eyes made it certain.
Yet,
Was I doing the right thing?.
" ... " For once, The voice was silent as one hot tear hits my humid cheek.
I watch it fall all the way till it kisses the ground;
Could I put a time tag in all of it?
And more importantly, Was I up for the challenge?
