Before I met You

chapter eight

"Stars are beautiful. You can never know their sad moments they are always shining bright and forming a beau scenary in the sky. I love it. Elaine said with a smile. " True but do you also know that whenever they can't handle there sad moments they share with one another. That's why on some days there are few stars in the sky because the other stars are supporting a friend . Its a sign that you can't hide your sorrow behind happiness forever sometimes it gets so much you will have to share it" Nathan said while looking at Elaine intently. He doesn't know why he said it though but it felt right. Elaine nodded and stared at the sky again. Nathan's words echoing in her head. She knew he didn't know anything but why is it that he always made her feel like he can see through her? They talked again after sometime about anything that popped up in their minds. They laughed and teased each other. It was such a beautiful night.

" So can we resumes with the sessions" Nathan nervously asked . Elaine laughed. A genuine laugh." Sure of course as long as no late coming " she said with a stern expression." Of course " Nathan replied " Sooo friends" Nathan asked while scratching the back of his head . Elaine smiled at him for the second time in one night and he felt like he was going to loose his balance anytime soon. She held out her hand for him to shake which he took. " Friends" she replied. She shook his hand quite vigorously though which surprised Nathan.Their handshake felt warm and familiar. " Why a handshake though?" "this shows that the bond in our friendship or relationship will forever be firm hence no one will ever break it." she said. Nathan raised his eyebrows at her . Elaine took it as if he hadn't understood so she lifted their still joint hands to his face "See this " she said " this is a sign of unity and bonding...when I shook our hands I wanted to see if u will let go but u only tightened ur grip on my hand which means the bond in our friendship won't be broken no matter what kind of situation we go through together" Elaine explained. Strangely both of them felt the feeling of familiarity. Like this has happened before but when? They only met each other at the academy. The lift doors opened and Elaine walked out since her floor came first." Goodnight Ella" " likewise " she said to him and walked to her room as the lift doors continued. They both had the same question on their minds that they slept with." What is this feeling?" They both wondered
