"You had me crawling for you honey..
And it never would have gone away.. No.
You used to shine so bright,
But I watched all of it fade"
The bus ride ended in the wee hours of morning, he shook her shoulder to wake her up " we've reached" he whispered lovingly. She had her hand scrunched onto his shirt as if she was afraid of letting him go while she was asleep, maybe her mind wanted to let go, but her heart dint..
She looked up with her sleepy eyes and was lost looking into them, the same love, the same care, oh this proximity made her feel High, she wanted him so bad but her mind was now functioning again, she awkwardly slipped out of his embrace, took her bag and they walked outside.
On reaching college she was sad, with this unsuccessful mission, she was walking slowly, lost in thoughts, he took her hand and lead the way to the canteen, he knew she'd be hungry, it was a long journey, he made her sit and disappeared into the cooking area, when he came back with sandwiches, she looked at him, they used to do this..
Sneak out at night, early morning, make each other food, sleep on his shoulder, him being her personal all time body guard, tough with others but a baby like sweet heart to her, it was her ex life with her ex boyfriend, he adored her, he had once said to her " I wanna earn and be so rich sanyukta, so that you never have to suffer, you'll have 10 servants at your service, I want that life for you, I want to give that to you" she held melted then and she melted now just thinking about what she'd lost. The life they had then was extraordinary..
He sat beside her, trying to feed her, she stopped him, but he held her hand down and started to feed her again, she ate this time, she was way to hungry, she was about to walk away when he pulled her down again.. " sanyukta, the times we were together, that's the life I want, I believe we can be extraordinary together rather than being ordinary apart"
She felt a wave of emotion pass through her, why did he have to do this? She felt it was some false hope, of having that kind of life together, it was overwhelming to just imagine how perfect they could be, her eyes shut, trying to hold on to the new set of tears remembering what her mom said " I want to meet randhir"
She could feel him inch closer, his breath tickling her senses, she gasped, inhaling his fragrance, her hands sliding onto his chest, his hands drawing patterns on her hands " randhir! You have to meet my mom tomorrow" she blurted, making his eyes jolt open " whaaaaaat? Why? I didn't do anything" he was so cute sometimes she immediately felt like pulling his cheeks, her hands rose up doing the deed and she let out a small laugh..
Then she realised, they used to do this all the time, he used to be a baby and she used to love cuddling her baby, her face turning sad again " I don't know why, just meet her, or dont, your wish, she asked me to tell you, but it's okay I'll tell her you don't want to" he pulled her close by her hands " who said? I'll go, tell her tomorrow I'll be there by 9 am" then his stern expression suddenly turned into a small smile..
He saw a piece of the sandwich at the side of her lip " what? Why are you smiling?" she asked irritatedly, only to have him pull her closer, holding her into place, he shushed her, bringing his finger to her lips, why did his proximity make her mind shut like window pane on cold wintry nights?
He brought his lips down to the small piece at the corner of her lips, she was shivering, he rose one hand to her cheek trying to calm her down, as he ate the piece off, and placed a kiss there,making her yearning for more, he let go off her waist still holding her cheeks lovingly " tomorrow I would like something more to eat, keep it ready" he smiled, she still didn't open her eyes, she didn't want this dream to end, her dream of what they used to be, and what they wanted to be :)
To be continued :)
