They seemed to be staring at the stars, but their eyes were watching god.

|Chapter forty seven|

There are certain things that you can't control. You want to, you even try to, but you end up with nothing. Just like how, in the very beginning I hated Aaron, but now how close he is to me and he means a lot to me.

I feel like this was the thing that was out of my control, it really was. I mean, how he irritated me, how I would be so easily annoyed by him, how much I tried to avoid him, but just because of some circumstances, we so happened to be stuck together and got to know each other properly and became best friends. I think that's what destination is. It's written that me and Aaron are bound to be together as friends.

But as I lay down with him, facing him, my hand wrapped around his neck, his arm firmly wrapped around my waist, our legs tangled, his eyes closed but mine open; I beg to differ that we are just destined to be friends. I feel like there is much more to us and as much as I don't want it, I somewhere feel like I'm almost dying for it. It's just some feeling that I can't control.

Just like I mentioned above, that there are certain things which are out of our control and this—is one of them.

Last night, after the whole bowl of popcorn fell; I made Aaron make us popcorn and hot chocolates. And we headed to bed right after watching some episodes because I was really tired. We both slept in my room. When we slept, we were on our sides of the bed but when sleep took in we so happened to cuddle.

And right now it was 8am so apparently we have missed our morning class. I didn't want to wake Aaron so I let him sleep and decided that we will join school in afternoon.

I stared in those deep iconic ocean blue eyes. Trust me when I say, that I literally am in love with his eyes. Those bloody blue eyes man........there's something so beautiful about them which is indescribable. Those blue eyes were ocean strong, swimming with warm sun-lit currents.

"There's something about those eyes, right?" A voice said.

I don't think I have even blinked as I continuosly stared at his eyes.

"Totally, I'm in love with them." I spoke.

I felt a sharp tug on my waist and that's when my bubble burst and I came back to the real world.

Shit! I had been staring at him for so long and his eyes were open, means he was awake and he found me staring at him. This is embarrassing.

"Um...." I started but couldn't form a sentence.

"Cat caught your tongue? Oh no no, your eyes actually caught my eyes. Yeah..I get it." He smiled widely staring right back at me with those wonderful blue eyes. And at the moment, instead of feeling embarrassed or something, I smiled. I smiled widely with so much generosity in my eyes.

"You seem to be really happy this morning Muffin? What's the reason behind that?"

Because whenever I wake up next to you, I naturally am happy.

"I am happy because....." I said leaning my face closer to his, wrapping my hand further around his neck as his arm also encircled my waist.

"Yeah?"

"Because...." I continued and by now, our noses were brushing with each other.

"Because?" I could feel his breath on my face, which not so surprisingly didn't sting. His breath is like a mouth freshener, his breath smelled like mint and it was awakening. I hoped mine also smelled the same way.
