"What are you thinking?" I ask him.
"You really want to know?" He replies in a voice so dark and full of warning it sends a shiver down my spine.
"Yes." I say, being utterly brave.
A small smirk lifts the corner of his lips as he walks towards me...

*Play the song above*
🎵'Ain't no sunshine when she is gone..'🎵
🎵'It's not warm when she is away..'🎵
My fingers softly strum on the steering wheel as I drive through the highway. Music flows through me and I instinctively run a hand through my hair as I think of her..
Emara.
Her name alone makes my chest tighten and stomach flip in a way that shouldn't be legal. Only God knows how much I miss her!
🎵'Ain't no sunshine when she is gone..'🎵
🎵'Only darkness every day..'🎵
How long has it been since I last saw her?
Too damn long to forget how short she was, how she had to tilt her head up just to meet my eyes. And honestly, I am scared..
Like really scared that I will forget the sound of her giggles, the way she laughed like a complete crack-head at her own jokes.
I long to hear the sound of her voice, how she murmured in her sleep. I am shit-scared I will never get to hear it again.
My fingers tighten around the steering wheel in a steel grip. I am fucking terrified of the thought that I will never get to see her again. That she is already gone.. And I have lost her forever.
🎵'And this house just ain't no home..'🎵
🎵'Anytime she goes away..'🎵
The song drifts on, each word nudging those memories of the Seven Nights I spent with her.
Like her crazy fan, I have been replaying the clips of when she was still living with me. I am addicted to those videos, to her laugh, her curses, her dances, and her.
Always her.
"Wonder this time where she is gone.. Wonder if she is gone to stay." I sing along, slowing down and taking a right turn while entering into the university campus.
Having a good connection with the Director, I asked him to let me honour the felicitation ceremony, just so I could sneak in and catch a glimpse of her.
And if Emara doesn't try to murder me on the spot, I'll get to talk to her too.
Hell! I'll drop to my knees if I have to for another chance, or I don't know kidnap her maybe. She hardly weighs anything anyway.
🎵'I know.. I know.. I know.. I know.. I know..'🎵
I pull into the parking lot and the car rolls into a flawless stop. Memories of my own college days flood back in and I smile at the flashback of bunking, pulling off stupid dares, playing around, getting test-papers leaked..
