It's been a week since we started dating. I'm on cloud nine already, but the thing that's eating at my mind is why we aren't getting any time alone together. Isn't that what girlfriends and boyfriends do? Wherever we go, the four of us go together. It's not that I don't enjoy their company, but I also want to be closer to Terence. Uffffff!It's Saturday evening, and we are all planning to explore a new café we found called "Le Café." The four of us are sitting on a couch in the café. I stood up to check out what new items they have besides coffee.
As I'm standing there, I see Terence walking over to join me. We are standing face to face, deciding what to order. He's explaining and I'm lost in his words. He might think I'm listening, but the truth is, I feel a rush of emotions, my heart racing with excitement and affection. I am thinking how he manages to look this awesome, how addictive his body scent is. I see his lips, My eyes shift from his eyes to his lips and to his chest, where the first button of his shirt is always unbuttoned, giving a little peak of his chest. I can't focus on what he's saying at all. All I want is to get closer to him, wanting to hug him, and hold his hands. My eyes are drawn to him, unable to look away, I'm unable to handle myself.
And then I saw that he extended his hand to show me something and I thought he wanted to hug me - silly me! I took it as a sign and moved forward to hug him. It felt like the whole world stopped; I could hear his heartbeat. He fell silent, which was fine as I suddenly jumped to hug him, then I saw Mateo and Sakshi on couch laughing. That's when I realized that I had done something wrong. I misunderstood and misinterpreted the whole situation. I was overcome with shyness, I was embarrassed, and didn't have the courage to look him in the eyes after what I did. I stepped back, overthinking, wondering if he thought I was desperate. *Oh God, why do I always make a fool of myself? How can I be so silly? When will I grow up?!*
I was drowning in these thoughts when he pulled me towards him. I felt his arms wrap around me. Those negative thoughts vanished, and all I could feel was love. My first accidental hug—it was so warm and safe in his arms. In those moments, the world fades away, and all that matters is being near him.
He Hugged me, and I just didn't want to let go. I wished time could stop right there, and we could stay like that forever. But our friends were waiting, so we placed our order and joined them. We had a great time together.
