That brought a bitterness in Mia's throat… it felt bitter in her tongue as if she uttered something she shouldn't have but why?
Kevin stepped forward and pulled Mia in a warm embrace.
Mia is a cuddly person, she loved hugging people who are special to her. Mia was hugged by many and many hugged her. It's a common gesture but why did Kevin's hug feel so intimate to her? Why did the hug feel so secure that Mia felt herself melt in it and couldn't feel to pull away? The first time they shared a hug it was awkwards Mia sensed that the boy is awkward, then it seemed a warm hug. But now it felt different– something she never felt before— Something strange yet comforting.
She shuddered when she felt Kevin's lips at the soft skin of her neck.
And then she felt something wet over her neck. Mia frowned and pulled away from the hug and her breath hitched when she saw Kevin's glossy eyes.
“Mia you know me well, don't you?” Kevin asked, his voice so vulnerable that Mia's heart felt heavy but don't know why? She nodded hesitantly.
“Then tell me why it hurts to know that you love me in a ‘friendly way’?” Kevin asks. Mia swears that she can feel the ground slip away under her legs.
“Tell me why it hurts so much that you don't love me the same way I've started to. And I don't even fucking know why I'm being like this! I'm being pathetic right now, aren't I?” Kevin looks away blinking furiously to not cry. He didn't want to.
“You–you love me?” Mia asks, pointing at herself.
Kevin looks at her and her breath hitches because she's never seen such honesty ever in anyone's eyes.
“I do. Maybe I was in love with you from the moment you approached me. I kept thinking about your messages all day like a weirdo and waited for your messages the next day like crazy. And the first day I saw you walking all prettily in that cafe, I swear I couldn't breathe! You make me feel emotions Mia that I never knew I could feel Mia. And–and the horrible thing is I couldn't control them. I feel pathetic and now–now you'll hate me because I stepped out of the line and ruined our blooming friendship too!” Kevin buries his face in his hands, breathing heavily.
And Mia, she didn't find any words to reply. She has been proposed by many guys and had her heart broken by a guy too. She usually rejects them an instant not wanting to give them false hopes but she wasn't able to reject Kevin but she wasn't able to accept either.
“Kevin, loving someone doesn't make you pathetic. Love knocks the window of only lucky people. It's a blessing to feel the euphoric feeling of love. I respect your love. I really do.” Mia utters, pulling Kevin's hands away from his face.
“You–you are not disgusted?” Kevin asks and Mia smiles.
“Of course no. Do you take me as a petty person? I am not disgusted by you. In fact I feel guilty for not being able to return your feelings,right now.
Right now?
Does that mean she wants to return Kevin's feelings in future.
Maybe.
Mia trusts her instincts that Kevin is a wonderful human and she agrees with that. In the era of hookups Kevin directly went to love Mia without any expectations from her. In a mere month Kevin managed to gain her trust and Mia is amazed by the fact.

The group of friends watched the movie together. All were focused on the movie except two of them whose focus were on each other. They called it a night after the movie finished.
Mia closed her door and was about to go to sleep when she saw the gifts her friends had given her. Mia sprinted towards them and shuffled for a certain someone's gift. She smiled when she picked up the golden wrapped gift and sat on the sofa comfortably crossing her legs. She softly opened the wrapper.
It was a canvas with a letter. She turned the canvas and her breath was knocked out of her lungs. It was the painting of a girl in a sunflower field.

It was so beautifully painted that Mia couldn't take her eyes off it.
She unfolded the paper, and started reading it ______________________________________
Dear Mia,
A very very happy birthday, beautiful! Yeah beautiful, you call me Mr. Handsome oh so prettily that my heartbeat quickens everytime. I don't know why I'm being so confident writing this, maybe because my eyes are not locked into yours right now. When you look at me, I swear I lose my mind.
Now let's talk about the gift, yeah?Didn't I tell you I started painting? Even before we actually met, I started imagining you, how must be you looking? I used to wonder how lucky are the people who are seeing you everyday because I was dying to see you once.
I told you I don't draw humans, didn't I? How ironic I chose to paint humans after painting for so long. I always thought that humans are ugly but you--you are anything but ugly. You are the most beautiful creature I've ever witnessed.
Your words brought so much comfort to me that I've never felt. Your words were enough to drive me insane so I wondered how would seeing you feel like.
Sunshine.
Yeah, I thought of you as sunshine. Because you bring so much brightness and warmth to people around you. And I guess I'm one of the many you tried to heal but for me you are the only one who tried to heal me instead of calling me boring or a loner.
So I randomly started painting and it led to this. I drew you from my imagination. The girl is you and the sunflower is me. As if the sun is you and I'll always lean in your direction. It'll always be you I move forward to.
But you know sunflowers have only ONE sun to lean to… but the sun has many sunflowers who lean for it. Our case is like that only. You'll have many people who admire you and love you as the person you are. But I'll always admire you…only you. I don't see it any other way, beautiful. I thank all the gods for bringing you so unplanned in my life. And I'm leaving my home planning to confess to you because I'm sure of my feelings now. It took me a month because you had me in the first conversation.
Btw I finished this painting with your paint brushes, I gave more detail in this. Thank you for buying me a gift. It was my first gift. I didn't want you to see this honestly but this is the best way to show you my feelings.
Now I'll not take more of your time. Just remember that for me, you'll always be my sunshine, your smile is the prettiest for me, your eyes are the brightest for me, and you are the most beautiful girl ever to me. I'm getting too bold, aren't I?? Hahaha
I love you Mia. And I'll love you forever till the day I exist… I've fallen so so deep that I can't see any other way.
