True Love Wish ... Was it really worth it? (#Wattys2016)

Prologue - Making the wish

She flings her phone angrily across the room watching it teary eyed as it lands safely on her bed. She couldn't throw it on the floor, fearing what she will do, if it breaks.

It's been days since Sam came back from his 4 days trip to Miami and not even once had he bothered to call her. Every time she called or even visited his house on the Beverly Hills she was told that he was out and they will give him her message.

She couldn't ask to be let inside their huge mansion as she was technically not his girlfriend. Yeah Right!

Her phone starts to buzz and she hurries to answer the call, thinking that it's Sam. She finds the name "Millie" flashing on the screen instead.

"Twinkle..Twinkle?" she hears her friend call out her name in desperation, as soon as she answers the phone. She momentarily forgets her inner turmoil with Sam and focuses on her friends voice.

"Yeah Millie..it's me. Who were you expecting? My brother?" she asks her lightly, knowing very well that her friend hated when she teased her about her latest crush.

What she saw in him, Twinkle could never understand. Aged 17 years, he was the most quite but cute guy in the whole school and their senior by two years. Nope, he was not popular, nor the nerdy kinds. He was the ordinary types that get easily mingled with a crowd and avoid any public attention by steering clear from both cheerleaders and jocks of foot ball team of their High School.

"Sshhh I am with him. That's why I called you. I finally asked him out on a date just a minute ago and he said yes!," she screeches and Twinkle has to pull the phone away from her ear, in case she damages it permanently.

"Hey..that's nice! I am...really happy for you! Hope it works out," She tells her,trying to sound happy, while her heart tugs her towards the thoughts of Sam. His dark black hair swept away from his tanned face, nose covered with light freckles that only made him look cuter and deep brown eyes that felt like hot chocolate every time he had kissed her. She was still recalling their last kiss when Millie's screech snaps her out of her dream world.

"What?" she asked having no clue what her friend has ben talking all this while post her declaration.

"Twinkle I am waiting for you at the Coco Mall station. Get your sexy ass here and help me shop. I want to make your brother fall flat on his face when he sees me this weekend. So hurry...please.." she hears Millie's extra sweet voice and knew that this was not a request but a command for her.

Looking at her rooms cream coloured ceiling as if they are the one talking to her, she began to think.

Our parents are out for their date night tonight, so there is no knowing when they will be back. She makes up her mind.

"Give me 15 mins. I will meet you outside Fab boutique. You might want to grab some sexy outfit..By the way where is my brother?"

"He just dropped me off secs ago. He has some boys night planned. Knowing him it must be PS3 with his buds," says Millie laughing making Twinkle laugh with her. Yep, that's exactly what he must be doing.

"Okay sweets..see you in fifteen," She tells Millie and end the call as soon as she hears her bye. 

She wastes no time and sends a hurried text to her mum, telling her about her plans with with Millie. She instantly replies back with a thumbs up sign. Yeah she was a cool mom.

She gets ready as fast as possible. Scrubbing away her raccoon eyes was a mighty task. This is what you get when you get seriously involve with a guy who believes in casual dating.

Brushed her hair, smoothening them with hair serum for extra shine. Apply a nude shade of lipstick to make her black eyes stand out on their own. Having natural thick lashes she rarely applied mascara until and unless she was on a date with Sam. This is why She had applied mascara earlier. She had gone to his place but like before he was not there.

She picks up her car keys from the table and glides into her car seat.

On the way, thought of Sam and other guys she dated before him crowd her mind.

Is he planning to dump me too? But I did make out with him. I didn't act like a virgin queen with him. Yes, we didn't go all the way but still it was much more than before. At least for me it was.

I just wish I can feel his love and not lust when he touches me. I am sure he must love me in some form but why do guys just want to score at the word go. I wish there could be a guy who is looking for love, everlasting love.

Someone, whom I want to be with, someone who needs me more than I need him. If only a guy like that could come in my life there is nothing that I wouldn't do for him.

She sighs deeply as she parks her car in the empty parking lot space. She kills the car engine and steps out and stands completely still at her spot. The scene before her was really next to impossible. She can't recall anyone ever telling her about this nor has she ever witnessed this. The moon shone brightly in all its golden glory and appeared so huge that she felt like it has come down and landed on earth.

"Now who wouldn't love you...You are just so beautiful" she blows a kiss in the direction and takes out her phone, clicking couple of pictures of the moon and then taking her selfies with it. Making it appear as if she is holding the moon in her arm.

She checks the pictures and is happy that they turned out better than her original thought.

"Now I know why people say that I love you to the moon and back...I just wish I can have such love too," she calls out softly to the moon.

She sees a sudden shimmer around her and when she shakes her head it's all gone. Her phone buzzes and she glances on the screen which is flashing with Millies name.

She answers the call and hurry inside to meet her friend, forgetting completely about her small talk with the moon.
