"Resh" Kami ♍️

"Sea" Gazella ♓️

Resh

Thunder sounds loud as fuck. Rain starts pouring.

Damnnnn...

"I can't flake out on Mrs. Devi," I say while roughing up my hair a lil bit.

It's so odd seeing it, but I'm starting to feel good about it- I mean better about it. Hmm?

My mind goes somewhere else.

"Fuck, what if they ask me to dance?" I pinch the bridge of my nose.

I remember the bindi that's above my bridge, quickly stop, then check in the mirror to see if it's messed up.

"Wheewwww," I breath, tryna ground myself.

Thoughts about my grandmother comes.

My daadeeeee. Think about how happy she'd be seeing me dress in fuckin dorti pants and my kurta.

"She'd be like ahhhhh my baby, so handsome, so clean," I copy her accent.

I reach in the closer and grab my shoes.

"Had to keep it Resh with the light grey Dunks though granny," I laugh.

We'll work on it.

I sit down on the bed and pull my phone out to text her.

To Mrs. Devi

"I'm on my-"

There's knocking at the door.

"No room service please!" I call out.

The knocking still goes.

I turn my head to the small closet where I keep my shoes.

There's hella towels on the shelf. I don't know why they're bringing me more so soon.

I pause, feeling something weird in my body. I scoff, missing my girl.

Shit I gotta check on Sea, we haven't talked much since she rushed off the phone.

The knocking keeps going, but it's quieter now. I stand up and go over to the door, not wanting them to be stuck in the rain. My words flow as I open the door.

"Hey... sorry, I don't need-"

My arms drop and my phone slips out my hand. I get stuck staring at her. She's upset and soaking wet.

Sea

I hiccup from all the crying I forced myself to stop doing. Him being so close make tears swell up again, but they don't leave my eyes.

His clothes... his hair?

I think about the few things he's shared with me about his family.

"Sea?" He says my name like I'm not real.

"Why you so ethereal right now?" I ask, trying to be light hearted.

He pulls me to him. We instantly lock lips. My hair and clothes get him wet. He puts my arms around his neck.

My heart...

Resh

My heart...

We breathe each other in while we kiss like we're one another's drug, or fix, or vice.

We are.

My hands touch all over her body while she lifts up on her toes to kiss me more. One of her hands find their way to my hair while she holds my face. It instantly makes me that much more comfortable about parts of myself I've been ignoring for a very long time.

I almost fall over from the weakness her presence causes in my knees. I plant my hand on the wall while kissing her to keep me standing, then decide to lift her up in my arms. The door slams shut when I swing it closed.

I'm occupied.

I'm dreamin... gots to be.

Her legs wrap around my waist while I guide us to my bed, but once we lay in it, all I can do is hold her and all she can do is hold me.

My eyes are opened and blank while we catch our breaths from kissing so hard. Her head rests on my chest.

I've never felt like this in my life. I've never been in love like this in my life.

I keep her tight in my arms, not giving a fuck about where I need to be today and not givin a fuck that she's covered in rain.

Neither of us say anything, but both of us break emotionally at the same exact time. I let out short breaths as a cry, thinking about all the shit she's been going through and thinking about how we've accidentally made each other feel: bad, good, great, and better...

... but still magically you showed up. How? How did you do it? How did you pull it off? How did you find me... and how the fuck did you have the balls to disobey the boundaries I set?

ATEEEEEEEE.

DID I EAT? I ateeeeeee. Thoughts. *twirls in a circle*

I just want to say thank you so much for being on this journey with me WOW. I AM SO SHOCKED! This book is so, so, so great. I have hang ups from time to time, but over all as a passion project, it is very divine. I could cry right now fr.
