'And I'd choose you... in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you and choose you' - Kiersten White
' Dear Sid,
I miss you.... I write this every time, but this yearning hasn't lessened a bit in the past 10...
" Sid.... I am too bored.. I want to try walking...." Abhishek whined. Siddharth looked up from the book he was reading. He sighed, as he knew what was to follow. " I want to play basket ball again..."
" Abhi..... If I hadn't been your classmate during our MBBS times, I would not believe that you actually have done medical training.. Look at you... You very well know how unreasonable your want is..." Siddharth replied nonchalantly. Abhishek was upset about missing his basketball sessions.. It was his passion, second only to his love for psychiatry. Abhishek pouted suddenly, and Siddharth found him kind of cute..
" Abhi, What is with that face? You look like a kid whose candy has been taken away. And I see that everyday, newer shades of you are coming out. A few days before, I myself could never imagine you pouting like this..." Siddharth was grinning widely. " How about we do something interesting??"
Abhishek's face instantly lit up, and he sat up. Siddharth came closer and sat on a chair near him. Siddharth once again noticed how Abhishek's lips were curled up into a sensual smile, and his glances were lustful. He stroked Abhishek's hair slowly and said " Abhi.... By something interesting, I meant games. Don't get too excited.." He chuckled. Abhishek felt stupid.
" Abhi... I never knew you were this needy.. after your discharge, I can already imagine what is going to happen in our room... I think we can switch rooms till the final exams are over" Abhishek felt offended by this comment. But he noticed that Siddharth was not joking this time, his eyes were also lusting...
" What do you mean Sid?? I pride myself for having extremely strong self-control....."
Siddharth inched closer and stroked Abhishek's cheeks. He said with a shameless grin " I know that..... I was referring to myself..." He chuckled again.
" Arju..... I'm hungry.. what are you whipping up..?" Neha, who was busy watching a movie, called out to Arjith. Since his parents were not at home, she had decided to drop by. He too, like his brother Abhishek, was a good cook. Currently, he was busy cooking for her. She had volunteered to help, but Arjith was afraid of blowing up the kitchen... However, he did not voice his concern and dissuaded her with some other reason. He did not want to hurt her pride. She knew how bad she was in cooking, but still wanted to help Arjith out. Such was their understanding.
" Neha, wait for it... The food will taste better when you are really hungry..."
" Then will you bury me in food after I die of hunger??" She snickered.
" Of course..... What a tease, my hungry angel?" He huffed.
" Isn't that supposed to be angry angel? But..... I think this is more accurate, as I can safely say that I rarely get angry, plus I am a foodie as well. Do you not like it, as I am not conscious about maintaining my figure, never taking diets seriously..??" She spoke nonchalantly.
" Right... About my liking... You are perfectly to my liking.. You are not too obsessed with diets like most girls, neither do you eat indiscriminately... You are not angelic in proportions, but you are not fat either. Rather, you are quite physically fit.. Anyways, I like it all. I love everything about you..." Arjith was now grinning, pretending to be too absorbed in his work.
She saw that. It was true that she hated cheesy lines, but Arjith's words gave her a little pleasure as well. Who isn't pleased when complimented by a loved one? " Somebody is being too sweet today..... I think I will go diabetic"
" Not funny..!" Arjith came over with the food. Neha helped him serve it. The aroma itself was too mouth watering, and she felt that this cook of hers deserved a little reward. So, she quickly gave him a peck on the cheek.

He kissed her back and pulled her into a hug.. For him, this was heaven. He had always admired her from far, but he never imagined her being in his arms one day.. He did not dare to confess to her, fearing rejection and avoidance. But, she had taken the initiative.... and well, he thanked his stars for that. If she had hesitated then, things wouldn't have developed to be this sweet. Arjith, due to his strict and disciplined upbringing, could never bring himself to flirt with anyone, even with Neha. But she had no such inhibitions.. She would utilize every single chance to flirt with him. Even he loved her teasing and flirting..
" Arju, my princess... Let's eat?" She pouted, all cute.
" For once, can't you call me your prince??" He cupped her face and asked in an exasperated voice. She was the only one who could call him that and yet escape without a scolding or thrashing. She rubbed her nose against his and said " Umm..... No.. you are my princess..Maybe you can call me prince instead?" She chuckled. Arjith sighed. This girl was teasing him in the cutest way possible, yet he didn't have the heart to reprimand her. So, he settled for something else.
He pulled her into a deep kiss. Not a sensual one, but gentle one full off love and affection. She did not hesitate, and immediately responded to the kiss. Both of them did not quite know how to proceed, so they let their lips have their own way.. Moments later, they pulled away from that sweet kiss, and sat down to eat. Arjith expected to see Neha start stuffing herself, but she decided to feed him instead. So, he ended up eating out of her hand, and fed her as well, now and then. After a brief silence, Arjith asked " Shall I call you honey...." Unknown to himself, he had donned a flirtatious smirk. Neha looked up from her food.. She blushed a little, hearing that.
Suddenly, Arjith exclaimed " Oh my god..!" Neha panicked a bit, and got up in a hurry " What happened Arju, are your parents here?"
" Nope, it is just that I managed to make you blush...." He grinned. She sat down again " Really Arjith? You scared me now! And about blushing, what's wrong? I may have blushed a little, but don't you get carried away by that..!" She said in a tone of denial..
" So, what next honey??" Arjith asked, now leaning towards her. She found herself all smiles, and to counter a furious blush, she said with a coy look " Whatever you say, Mehta ji....."
