Wayne's Pov:
"She deserves it, Just confront her" I kept telling myself in front of the mirror when I heard someone knock the door.
Letting out a breath I shouted "Just a minute"
"okay-now-lastly go and confront her!" I revised. Taking a deep breath I opened the door.
It was her, my crush.
"Hey, hi" she greeted with a smile.
"H-hi" I stuttered looking at her beautiful face. I mean really how can she literally use eyeliner & pink lip balm and still look so effortlessly beautiful. 'Damn' my mind commented.
"Yeah, I'm so sorry. I was pouring myself some iced tea and spilled some on your camera. I tried to wipe it off but it's all sticky-sticky!" she confessed extending camera to me.
Grabbing it I inspected it, it was all good but yes really sticky "don't worry it's all good, it has faced quite worse situation than this" I told her chuckling.
She laughed. 'Damn' my mind commented again.
Now there was a small silence between us that didn't feel so weird like it did with others. There wasn't a need to talk, but I had to because I don't want her to think that I am a freak!
"how's the party going for ya?" I questioned leaning my right shoulder on the wall still contacting with her eyes. It was an unsaid thing we did every time we saw each other THE EYE CONTACT...'how?'
Breaking the eye contact for a sec she looked around and answered "well....its f-fine!".
I narrowed my eyes.
"okay okay I'm bored, just don't tell this to anyone" she trailed back. Honestly she is right. This party is pretty boring. Nothing normal or unique is happening just the old simple high rated hangout with more friends & food and beverages in large scale.
"oh, you're right its the 3rd party in a week. Its the same faces all over again." I chuckled stating facts.
Immediately an idea stuck me. 'Should I take her upstairs?'
Without giving it a thought I shot "wanna go upstairs for some time"
"yeah sure" she replied.
"what should I grab for you?" I asked making my way towards the counter.
"anything will do" she said.
I couldn't believe this happening. Should I tell her about how I feel, it's a great chance. But what if she thinks I'm a freak who's shooting his shot 'ughh'.
Wearing my camera on side I took peach iced tea for her, a coke can for me and for extras a beer.
The trip upstairs was silent. Reaching there we stood close to a small garden. Slowly taking a sip down we looked around.
"Hey aren't you supposed to be here with your girlfriend?" she asked making an obvious face.
"huh? My girlfriend, who?" were my exact words in confusion.
"Shraya"
"what her, no, who told you?"
I recited in disbelief."no one actually, but it's a rumour that you guys are secretly dating!" she told me sipping her iced tea.
"what? No, n-never we aren't dating at all not even secretly or ever" I trailed off putting down my can.
"Are you okay?"
Taking a deep breath I turned and placed my hands on the wall "yeah I am"
Few seconds later she patted her hand on my right shoulder "hey I'm sorry I didn't know that you-"
"no no it's alright!" I shrugged looking at her. I don't know whether I am gonna confess Delilah about my feelings but right now I'm very sure that I'm gonna screw Shraya up.
"Hey, wanna dance" her voice came up.
"I'm not a dancer" I replied.
"okay come on" she said and played a song and pulled me around in normal ball dance position. I could see a smile creeping her face. 'Damn' my mind commented looking at that incredible figure I was holding infront of me.
🎵GOLDEN HOUR - JVKE 🎵
All of this was feeling like a dream, unreal. Me dancing with her. I never imagined this happening because I'm not a dancer types but look what I am upto now.
I don't know what's in her that just lifts up my mood. Maybe that smile. Maybe that positivity. Maybe those eyes. Maybe the way she makes you feel happy. Maybe her concern. Maybe her.
Without realizing I was syncing with her and there was a large genuine smile on my face.
🎵PERFECT - ED SHEERAN🎵We were vibing, we didn't know when the song changed but we were feeling so much.
Staring at her was peaceful. Like everything was calming down.
We changed our steps when songs changed...
🎵THE NIGHT WE MET - LORD HURDON🎵
🎵CHAMPAGNE PROBLEM - TAYLOR SWIFT 🎵
🎵GIVE ME LOVE - ED SHEERAN 🎵
Slow dancing while holding each other with our eyes concentrated at each other was something I never expected to happen. I've started liking this.
The song changed she untangled her hand from mine & grooved as she felt. She was so enjoying it. I couldn't help, I clutched my camera and clicked the best shots I could. She called me to join in & when I refused she took my camera and pulled me closer.
In between this she asked me the basic buttons of camera so that she can click few pictures on it.
After she understood the mechanism I could see her clicking shots of moon, the small nursery, sky & me.
'she's so cute' my mind commented.___________________________________________
