Dear Destiney,

CHAPTER-5

There was a new building in our locality, newly constructed and it was one of it's kind, it was multi-story, it was an emblem of the modern architecture. It stood tall and had a wavy design in its front which made it look like a giant mermaid standing out who got lost and washed here to Saint Luis due to strong sea waves.

It's terrace was a gateway to heaven, standing there you could see the vastness of the city and how much we have evolved as a human, well fosho some did evolve as humans but some didn't, there are some stupid animals still, giant chimneys, industrial belt, water treatment and most eye catching the glimmering bubbling light coming from the hundreds of the lanterns that lit the streets and shops and houses of people, I used to go there from time to time, to escape from reality, but this evening was different, I went there to see the sunset and found myself in thoughts, in thoughts of that strange girl I met one month ago, I couldn't stop thinking about her, the terrace had broken pieces of mason's bricks..I gathered those bricks and out of my mind, I found myself arranging those pieces of rocks into those 8 letters, those beautiful 8 letters that formed her unique name, my hand dusty with the work. I know this was a very very creepy move but I had no shady intentions.

I knew what I was getting into, I knew that it's gonna leave me messed up, gonna steal my night's sleep, allure my mind...but it looked worth it, I was growing more fond of her every second I spent there, every beautiful thing - the sunset, glimmering lights, reminded me of her, I didn't know how and where to stop.

Few days passed by,

I don't know but Jade always had some issue with me having a fling for Destiney, she was always pointy of how I behave around her, how I tried to philander with her and be playful with her, "Don't do that with her! She isn't comfortable." Jade would say always whenever we had a talk, she expected me to listen to her and stop doing it, so naive of her. I would stop only if Destiney told me herself, and there was nothing wrong I was doing anyways?! Like a gentleman can you believe I even asked for Destiney's consent to philander with...well that was a stupid move, but yeah I was testing the waters, and she said "YES", so there was no backing off from that, and fosho I have kept things very mutual between me and Destiney that if she had any problem or I had any problem we can openly talk discuss it with each other.

Me and Destiney used to share letters almost everyday, I got to learn so much about her, many boys might be persuading her and will be willing to do all sort of things for her, but I wanted to know her favorite fantasy, her favorite flower, caress her insecurities, I wanted to earn her. You know how things gets, we used to write long long letters to each other about everything, and we had no issue being playful, we are damn comfortable around each other, we both can be weird and crazy without any judgement.

"My mom read some of our letters, and she was teasing me." Destiney said when we were sitting in a park together, "Is that so?" I asked, "Yes, and she thinks that we are dating! Mom if there was something like that I would tell you obviously!?" she said, I can't help it she sounded so cuteeeeee, well I find everything about her cute so yeah.

"Do you like me?" I asked with a slight grin on my face, trying to tease her.."What?" she asked back in a loud tone, she didn't hear it I guess, or maybe just dodged it or maybe just wanted me to change what I had asked..."No need to answer it." I replied. I was playing with fire, I had the will to indulge in the fire though.

Our houses were close by our room's balconies faced each other, and at night we used to come at the window with our lanterns, waving it. These memories, these little memories means so much to me. There was this time when we played the guess the alphabet game with the lantern, so I formed some alphabets with the lantern and she had to guess it.

Super. She guessed everything correctly, even the heart pattern which I sneaked in there, she is smart, no doubts on that.
