Day - ONE

Prologue

Sophie's POV

' We are doing right thing ? ' He ran his hand in his hair his deep blue eyes boring into mine.

' Yes we are. Some other day in future we will be sitting on city's highest place where we can take a view of all at once . We will be making fun of this day.' I assured him his hands were around me his nose were in my hair . He drifted me closer and we snuggled my hand on his bare chest. He drew me closer and we kissed softly.

' If it does not turn out as planned ? What if we grow apart because of this stupid settlement between us.' He seems to be so disheartened by this decision we both have concluded for this problem.

In last few months I received a letter from Oxford University Medical School it is my ambition to be doctor. I worked to bones to maintain a decent GPA to be able to do it.

At the same time between my castle in the air on other side I was head over heels in love with a man.

There was no denial of the fact that we were most devotedly in love with each other I took a glance at him he was staring at the ceiling my head resting on his arm and closed his eyes. ' Could I ever be able to fall in love with man more than him.'

There were malicious eyes following us when we were in school I had the most wanted guy apparently I became so insecure once but his attention was always pivoted towards me. He assured me that he is not going to break my heart. Ever.

I knew he may find someone who was more fun than me , more sexier , smarter , funnier , cooler than me but he waited for me for two hours outside my house when I was overtthinking and had dispute with him.

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I thought to myself.

' Sophie , what if you will fall in love with someone else ?' He took my hand and grabbed in between his both hands firmly. He turned towards me.

I looked into his disappointed face. I took out my hand from his grasp at placed it on his face.

' What if you fall in love with someone else ? ' There was this palpable sense of loss we are deviating when it finally made sense that we are meant to be.

' I won't Sophie . There could never be a permanent replacement of you other than you. Even if I get along with someone my mind will wander back to you. When I will be asleep the last thoughts will be about you. There can be no - one else.' I felt giggling at his expression of love speech.

What happened to the Alarick was in vain to say simple hello ?

I dwelled upon last two days he wants me to be with him desperately. Day before yesterday he did not let go of my hand and I was blabbering about everything he has heard thousand times before still he was so indulgent. He was sitting silently staring at me whole time.

Nothing in the world last forever except stories and memories. We had accumulated large sum of memories we first met our parents were acquainted , our first kiss , our first fight , first time behind locked doors we were each others first in all the firsts.

This so not a right time. I can not see ourselves to survive this long distance thing together. We are eighteen and these feelings are intense and bone shivering obsession we have for each other.

We are yet young for chemistry like this. Our respective careers will demand more of us. In between this dilemma I could neither see my aim to be doctor or starting my life with Alarick.

We had made a pact when we will be done with everything we will be meeting at each other's path and maybe see a future together then.

I got up from bed grabbing my bra and wore it . He stood beside me touching my rest of bare skin with his long fingers his hands roam everywhere sending me delicious slush . He put his both hands on my shoulders and start to massage it.

' We are getting late , Alarick.' I shrugged his hand he stood there staring at me while I put my top I grin at him and he smiled crossing his hands in front of his chest.

We got out of apartment took our bicycles raced way to school.

Noah was standing on school's gate . We promised each other that we will meet each other on last day of school at school after the school gets over. I know this shit is complex but this is us.

The weather turned out lovely we can see grass dancing on rhythm of wind . The dark cloud above head cool breeze touched my face sending shivers. The Sun almost disappeared.

' You guys can not break up like that everybody envied you both secretly.' Noah seems not able to digest the fact . Alarick put this hand on my shoulder.

We sat and Emma arrived in minutes we went on about all good times together. It will be start to rain at any moment.

We rushed towards our bicycles.

' Noah , Emma turn around. ' I was looking at them.

Alarick grabbed my face with his hand by my cheeks and kissed me fiercely like he has never kissed me. Mostly he was tender but this time it blew my mind he could not let go easily not even leaving me to grasp air . Woah.He went on then he broke the kiss staring into my eyes and tugged my hair behind my ear and I repeated the movement . I drew me closer and kissed my forehead.

' By - Bye Sophie.' He stuttered he was panting so was I.

Noah and Emma didn't turned around. They are not very punctual either ways.

' I have to travel tomorrow.' I took breathe in.

' I know I could not let go maybe this was last time I could hold you. I love you.' I touched my cheek with his hand.

' I love you too.' I blushed but hitched the breath I have to be rigid. I thought to myself.

It has been years we added each other on social media seldomly chatted slowly conversation started to fade. We lost contact in these years he is been successful businessman like his father I went on to become pediatrician but deep down there was no a single time I did not thought of him.
