When The Love Lasts

Chapter 5

I was laughing so hard because he was giggling me. He was on top of me tucking my strands of hair behind ear. He pecked my lips before saying,"i love you meri jaan".

I suddenly jerked my eyes open only to find out it was the dram i was seeing. Yes. Just a dream. For one moment i thought it was really happening but why would he love me duh. Blush creep up on neck and cheeks. I was flushed with the dream I've just witnessed. For God's sake, it's only three in midnight.

My stomach rumbled, realising i am so hungry. I need to eat something. Flipping blanket over, i sprinted through the living room into the kitchen to find something to eat.

As i was opening the fridge, a shadow crawl in the front window from the kitchen which shows the backyard garden.

Curiosity got the best of me and i quickly went to check who's there at the very late night. The night was calm, dark black clouds blanketed the sky, a few stars visible in the sky.

The crescent moon was shining bright, a cold breeze blew through my strand of hair, brushing my skin lightly.

Suddenly i felt someone's presence behind me. Just enough to send down shiver in my body. His cologne filled my nostrils. He was standing behind me. Light breaths fanned my ears but not enough close to any touch.

I turned around instantly and my eyes drifted to faris.  He was wearing grey lower and and a black hoodie. Hairs looked messy but sexy though. Both hands were in his pockets and gaze somewhere on the ground.

Then his grey orbes met mine and the moment stilled. There was some sort of connection i felt because the tension between us was so thick.

Like the unsaid things hanging in the air. "Can't sleep elle?", he said in intimidating yet sleepy voice. "Elle?, umm actually a nightmare got me from my sleep and i felt hungry". I said hurriedly.

Elle? Stop exaggerating it's just a stupid name.

" Don't you like your new nickname, elle?", " nobody gave me any so it's weird to be called by anything other than your name", i said shrugging my shoulders.

He smiled just a bit. And my heart catches strange breath. His facial features are so perfect it's seems like a sculpted statues is standing infront of my eyes.

His rumbled laugh ecoed through the roof, then just a little smile appeared on my face. Just a little. We looked at the moon at the same time, then at each other. That was a moment of silence all around in the middle of the night.

My heart was beating so fast that one could listen to the beating sound. I didn't say anything nor he did, we kept still then he suddenly grab my one hand in his hand and turned to me. He stared at me for a minute then i averted my gaze to him.

Shit why tf is he doing this, i thought because my whole body was feeling his warm hand on me and breathtaking smile.

He said in a low voice tone with a little smile on his face "I am sorry for all that thing i said, that was just to irritate you btw and nothing serious", i laughed confusingly, and said looking at the bright moon which made this night a very little perfect, "Umhm...well i didn't like you at first but it seems you're not that cringe yk".

He said "Ugh..being cringe isn't really my thing", i thought this was the right moment to ask about that thing. I gathered my thoughts then asked him, "Why did you give me that dress? How do you know i liked that dress?".

He got quiet for a minute then said to me, "You liked that, right? Isn't enough to know?". But i wanted answers so i forced him to solve this mystery. I asked again. "Have you been stalking me?" I enquired.

Bad timing huh!  Shayra said in a confused and half asleep, yawning,"what are you guys doing here?" I answered immediately in order not to seem weird about me and Faris sitting alone on the same bench.

Then me and shreya walked to our room and so did faris He didn't say anything though he looked quite charming he just smiled at him slightly. I couldn't sleep because of what faris said to me. A continuous thought was occurring in my mind.
