Is It Really Love?

PHILIPPA

I thought of him as I laid on the bed. His arms were tight around me. Too tight. I wanted to stop time right there so I could be in his arms forever. His body heat engulfed me and I wanted to drown in it.

I know they all tell us to never make homes in people. A person changes. They aren't capable of the stability and permanence that a home needs. But tell me, is it so wrong to find myself at home in someone's arms? Is it so wrong to hope that maybe I'll be able to live in his heart forever?

Thump. The ball hit the ground. I grinned.

Philippa - 3, Philip - 1

"Losing to Google, Philip? Aww, I knew Philippa was more talented than you." Adrian piped.

"Focus on your own game Adrian." I shouted back at him, who was supposed to be playing badminton.

He shook his head. But did as I said. I smiled from the inside.

A few minutes later, me, Adrian, Philip and Brian were playing basketball together.

"Oh hey there!" I said as I noticed a small boy approaching us. I silently saluted him for having the courage to approach three guys that were over 6 feet tall.

"Hii!" The boys chorused along after seeing him.

"Hello. Can I join you guys?" He asked shyly.

"Of course you can. What's your name?" Adrian asked him while getting down on his knees in front of the kid.

My vagina let out a whimper and I zoned out for a few minutes, because that was the hottest thing I had ever seen a guy do. I blushed. Deeply. But seeing Adrian like that while talking to a child really had my ovaries preparing to make babies.

I shook my head and went to drink water.

"The kid's cute." said a voice from behind me.

"Yeah he is. And you look cute too while talking to children on your knees." I replied while turning around.

Adrian chuckled. "That is not how I imagined for you to see me on my knees."

I raised my eyebrows. "Is that so? Well how did you imagine yourself then?"

"I don't know. Maybe with you in front of me. With your legs in front of my face." He said. Too nonchalantly.

My eyes bulged.

He grinned.

I swear my heart stopped there. Because, I realised that that was the first time I'd seen him grinning. And it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

"Oh my God! You grinned. You've never grinned in front of me before!"

He blushed. "Yeah I don't like to do that a lot."

"You have a beautiful grin Adrian. Trust me. You just need to flash that stuff and girls will be falling at your feet." Like me.

"As you say Ma'am. But I'm fine with just one girl falling. And if you don't mind, let's get back to the game." He said while holding out his hand to me.

Just one girl huh. I wonder who that is.

Doubts and insecurities are like little weeds in the field of thoughts. They take up important nutrients and a lot of energy and just leave us worried. It's best if they're removed on time or they'll end up destroying the other crops.
