Love, Maybe?

Sketches Pt. 2

╰┈➤ Nitya ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

"What is this Nitya?" He looked at me, his mouth curled up into a smirk. "These-" I tried to think for an excuse. He starts to walk towards me slowly, his right hand reaching the buttons of his shirt. "What-" He unbuttoned the first button of his shirt. "What are you doing?" I asked him as I took a step back. 

"Helping you. You can make a sketch, right here." He continued to slowly walk towards me, until the cold wall touched my back. He stood in front of me. Caging me between himself and the wall, he said "Rivan-" He is definitely joking. I hope he is.

"Yeah?" His voice low. And so fucking attractive. I want to tell him how I feel about him. But- What if he doesn't feel the same about me? Would that make things awkward between us? 

His presence overwhelmed me. He looked in my eyes with confidence while I barely managed to keep the eye contact. The heat radiating from him contrasted with the coldness of the wall against my back. 

I was trapped. Trapped both physically and by my own emotions that told me run away and confess my feelings at the same time. 

"Rivan, this isn't.." I struggled to find the words. He unbuttoned another button, revealing more of his chest. It felt as if my heart stopped beating for a second. 

"Isn't what, Nitya?" His whispered, leaning near my ear. He brushed the strand of my hair aside.

"Rivan- this isn't appropriate.." he leaned back, getting away from me to a safe distance.

"Fine." he broke the character. "What is appropriate then? You drawing me without my permission?" He pouted. 

I bit my lower lip trying to find a response. "I am sorry." I looked down at my feet. "Ay- I am not mad at you it's okay." He cupped my face between his palm, making me look at him. 

"Now tell me, why did you draw me?" 

"That day I wasn't able to sleep so I thought I should do some sketching. I-"

"What Nitya?" His eyes softened. 

I wake up yet again in the middle of the night. For fuck's sake this is the 3rd time since that day. I keep getting irrelevant scenes from that day in my dreams. I wanted to confess that day. But I couldn't. Instead ended up kicking him out of my place. 

With his guitar of course. That's what he had come to get. It's his fault. Why did he feel like a need to look through my things. 

╰┈➤ Rivan ˏˋ°•*⁀➷

She doesn't know how happy I am to know that she drew me. A normal person wouldn't be. But a normal person wouldn't be in her bedroom looking through her things either. 

But I might not be considered normal here. Because I am abnormally in love with her. And she doesn't know that, yet. I want to tell her that right now. But what if she drew me just because she was thinking of me that day. She saw me shirtless, recently and there's a chance she just got confused because of that.

We have spent so much time together since she came here. At college we stay together, at home we always eat dinner together. Sometimes, even Mihika joins us. And as far as I know Nitya.. She falls in love so easily, but it's easier to fall out for her too. 

 "I have feelings for you Rivan.  A few words that I wanted to hear from her. मजाल हो उस लड़की की  कि एक भी शब्द निकालती अपने मुँह से, उल्टा मुझे घर से निकाल दिया And she didn't even give me a reason for why drew me. On top of that, she has been ignoring me since that day." Mihika is listening to me rant about all that. We are in her room right now. A room full of books. 

And if I ask her what kind of books these are, her only answers is 'some fictional books' because hey I know they have smut and all. Surprised how she managed to hide them all from our parents.

"I didn't even say anything bad about it. I just said that those sketches were pretty." I bury my face in the pillow. 

"You still didn't tell me what type of sketches those were." She said looking through her books.

"She had drawn me."

Her head snapped back to look at me. "What?" Something in her woke up. She walked up to me and took a seat infront of me on the bed.

"Yes, and I was shirtless. I don't think anything was wrong there. So why was she flustered?" I asked tilting my head slightly in confusion.

She hit on my head swiftly making me fall back. "Why'd you do this?" I say while regain my composure. "Because you are stupid." She said.

"So stupid that you didn't see it."

"It what?"

"Stupid. She might hae feelings for you." She stood up and walked towards her bookshelf. "Don't you know that if an artist immortalize you in some form-" She looked through a few books and got a book out.

"-that means they love you. Didn't you write a song about her?" She looked at me while saying the last words.

Her words left me speechless. My heart started beating so loud that I couldn't hear her anymore.

That can't be true. If this was true why didn't she tell me? Was she afraid that I'd reject her? Ofcourse she must be. We used to fight like cats and dogs-

A book hit my head. "What the fuck Mihika?" I rubbed the place qhere the book hurt me. That book fell somewhere behind the bed. "Why'd you throw this book?"

"Because you weren't listening to me." She lifted her shoulders slight and tilted her head a bit. 

"If you are unsure of the things I told you, she must be conflicted too. You noticed everything about her since the start. She probably found your age during the introduction in the class."

My head followed her as she walked from one side of the bookshelf to other.

"Can you please stand at one place? My neck is starting to hurt. And say it all in short. What should I do?" She stopped at one place and looked at me, her gaze scary.

Her husband would ask for a refund.

"Pursue her, openly."

"I will. Just give me time to plan things out." What if she still rejects me.

"I will help. First you go to her and give her a heart plushie saying its your heart." She says dancing with her Pooh plushie.

I make an irritated expression. "Wouldn't that be confessing?"

"Dumbo. Exactly thats what you need to do if you want to date her and then marry her."

Her phone beeps with a notification in her pocket. She immediately gets it out and check it.

She bit her lower lip while typing something. Her eyes lit up when another beep of notification was heard.

"Mihika?" I say in a teasing voice, my lips curled up into a smik.
