IN LOVE WITH YOU [SLOW UPDATES]

NAINA's POV

Few weeks went by and we were engrossed in assignments, projects, group discussions, case studies, endless hours in the library. It was a hectic schedule.

I often noticed Phi with Pam together in the classroom, cafeteria and library. I had formed my group with Omer, Lisa and Seth. Seth was fun to be around, he was like a monkey but he never went off limits under the disguise of fun. Omer was a secret crush of many girls in the class because of his greek god aura, he knew this and didn't waste any chance to flirt with them. He was like the middle east prince of the class. I loved to watch his brown curls bounce when he walked. Lisa and I got more close and I got to know more about Texas and its culture. She promised that she'd take me to her home in summer break.

Phi and I met at the library at times, we exchanged some literature work we liked and became friends with the passing time. I liked talking to him and slowly he started opening up to me. I know much more about him, his lifestyle, culture, his likes and dislikes now.

Although we didn't get much time, but we joined different clubs for the extra circulars. I joined the sports club, on weekends I and Omer practiced basketball and Phi joined the music club, he often said music was his first love.

"You look good today," he said, after gawking me for an hour. It was Emily's birthday party and we all were celebrating in a club, dancing to the beats with drinks in out hands. I wore a black cami with lace work under a brown leather jacket with tight pants. Initially I thought I was looking good but after looking at other girls I got the impression that I was under dressed. Well, I didn't care. Overdressed is a more of a problem to me.

Emily was the rich girl on our batch. I didn't know her much but everyone was invited to this party in a grand club. I was worried about getting the right birthday present. It took me two days to think and finally I decided to buy a pendant. She wore an off shoulder dress red dress and looked stunning with the makeup.

Pam was wearing a thin strapped short silver dress hugging her body, her long black hair flowing on the back. Other girls were fawning over Omer, he wore a black shirt with Jeans, sleeves folded to the elbow revealing his tanned hands. Seth was goofing around in his floral shirt which I found heavily contrasting with the event.

Phi sported a loose white shirt with jeans, and stared at me often when I was dancing(Not that I have any sensuous moves). I don't know what was worth watching for him. Pam was standing with him for the entire party urging him to dance but he didn't budge.

I was a little drunk and was waiting for my next drink when he approached me, and he looked more cute to me now. By that time I had removed my leather jacket because I was with all the hot dancing around.

"I think I should drop you at your room, should I call a cab?"

"Yeah, but the party is still on, let's stay for a while. Won't you dance?"

"Ugh, no thanks. I'm not so good at it."

"Yes, like I'm a good dancer and everybody else is. Look at them jumping around like monkeys, I know you can do better then this dude."

My friends really looked like monkeys dancing especially Seth. When he started dancing the girls would turn away and make their way out.

I pulled his hand and led him to the dance floor. For few minutes he just stood there, shaking his hands on a beat or two. To loosen him up, I started copying his steps which made him laugh. He was now showing me some more of his moves. Soon the lights went dim and the music changed to a smooth melody. He looked in my eyes and held out his hand for me. I was surprised for a moment by the sudden rise of confidence. Magic of alcohol, I guess.
I gave my hand in his, he gently pulled me towards him and grabbed my waist.

We danced silently for some time looking in each others eyes.

"I remember the first day, you could barely look into my eyes for 5 seconds," I whispered in his ear.

"I'm now comfortable around you and people change with time, don't they?" he whispered back.

"You sure change in 5 minutes. From 'I don't know how to dance' to dancing with hands on my waist."

"If this is not okay with you then.." he loosened the grip from my waist.

"I actually feel good," I said placing his hands back and smiling.

Woah! I was drunk and horny.

"Can I kiss you?" I asked. Well, I wanted to kiss him but maybe that was a little straightforward. He did not say anything for a minute, just watched my eyes.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said it. I didn't mean..."

Before I could finish the sentence he gave a soft kiss on my lips.

"I've wanted to kiss you since the day we met at the cafe," he whispered in my ear and gave me a kiss on the tip of my nose.

I was blank for a second, his captivating eyes had taken over me now. I felt like diving in them. I took a step closer to him, reducing the distance between us. We were now closer than ever, our eyes were doing the talking now.
