Love in chat

Chapter 13

Third person's pov

Greediness

Often uttered as a negative word, right? We shouldn't be greedy for anything… we should be satisfied with whatever we have. But human emotions are never in control, are they?

What if a person thrives in a desert to survive without any water or food, and one day you give them a drop of water. They'll be greedy for more, now that they tasted how sweet the water tastes like. Can you blame the person for being greedy when he suffered without it?

No right?

That's the emotion Kevin started feeling Greedy…. Greedy for more love, greedy to have the person's love he loves all to by himself. He unknowingly started feeling bitter when Mia gives others the same sort of attention she gives to him. He's sure he wants more than being a friend and still doesn't want to rush things. Because he knows love can never be forced.

As said human feelings are never in control, he couldn't control the feeling of desperation and insecurities. He's afraid that what if Mia starts liking another guy who's better than him. He was so insecure that every guy he looked at seemed better than him. His heart dropped just by a mere thought of having Mia smiling in front of someone else, Mia hugging with so warmth with someone else, Mia holding hands with someone else. At times he felt crazy because it's the first time he's feeling like this.

So it's been a week since Christmas and it's a new year's day. Kevin loved dancing for the first time with Mia, he loved holding her securely in his arms, he loved walking next to her and he loved cooking for her back home. He started loving her.

The instagram comment Mia wrote describing him made him tear up. And he felt so pathetic that he's crying for the first time after so many years just because of a comment, a freaking comment from her, was enough to make him tear up. It never felt so uncontrollable to him before.

He was just cooling himself when Mia dropped another banger by posting about him. The way she captured him so beautifully. Kevin never knew being captured by someone could be this beautiful.

All these weeks Kevin talked to himself about his feelings. Explored the streets and observed others, while before he just walked straight without sparing anything or anyone a glance that came in his way. Watched random videos that he never bothered to watch about life and other stuff. He even scrolled reels, smiled while watching adorable pet videos, felt emotional watching some life story kinda videos, felt motivated while watching motivational videos. He decided to break through the walls he created around himself. And he felt content by doing the stuff that people normally do.

Kevin and Mia texted each other every night talking about their days, he had a nice conversation in group chat too. He wondered how Mia changed him in a single month. Now it's new year and Mia's birthday. He wished her happy birthday at midnight and now they'll be having a party tonight. Jacob and Julie already returned and Kiara will return the same evening.

Kevin thinks a lot about Mia's gift. He wants his gift to be more special than others, not just some mere expensive perfume or dresses. He sighs when an idea pops in his mind because it was there from the starting, he was just keeping it aside thinking of other options but all he could think of was that thing. He takes it from his small cupboard and stares at it.

Is this too early to give her?

Will she even like it?

What if I upset her on her birthday?

He shook off all the negative thoughts and packed the gift in a golden gift wrapper neatly and pasted a sticker of ‘happy birthday’ before writing his name on it.
