It's been two weeks. Two weeks since Gene and Courtney went missing. Two weeks since Aman woke up. He's been acting strange. He came back to college a week ago and is walking and acting fine like nothing ever happened. But I can tell something is up. Something is wrong. I know it, I feel it. 24/7 Aisha is by his side. It's annoying. I need to get Aman alone I need to get him alone so I can talk to him. Just me and him. It's currently the last class and Aman is acting like a five year with one of 'the group' members. I've decided that since it's also Friday I will tell him how I feel. I will also force some answers out of him. I will make him tell me what a want to know. I'm zoned out in my own world as the professor continues with the lesson. It's only when I feel a nudge on my shoulder that I'm brought back to real life. It's Aman. He's hovering over me with a smile on his face.
"You staying in class for the weekend?" He asked laughing a bit. I looked around and everyone was leaving. I picked up my books and bag while stumbling over my feet to catch up to Aman. When I am finally right by his side, we are walking across the fields towards the dorm buildings.
"Aman" I say making him stop abruptly to look at me and smile.
"Haan?" He asked shifting his book bag from one shoulder to the other.
"I was wondering..." I started while biting my bottom lip nervously.
"If you wanna hang out, just you and me..." I asked sounding awkward. I looked at Aman and a slight pink tinge was rising in his cheeks. He was equally embarrassed as I was.
"Sure, when?" He asked keeping his smile.
"7:00?" I ask checking my phone.
"It's a plan, my dorm?" He asked raising his eyebrow.
"Sure." I smiled
"Safe." Aman laughed and we continued walking. I couldn't help but feel myself burning up from asking him to hang out. I am so angry with him but can't help the fact that no matter when I'm around him I lose all my senses. We walk up and to our dorms going our separate ways. I walk into my dorm and Aisha is here with her headphones in while laying in her bed. I walk over to my bed and sit down hoping she will notice me.
"Hey what's up?" She asked while popping her headphones out of her ears.
"Not much." I say smiling. I can't help but think about Aman.
"Your going somewhere tonight, aren't you?" She asked kicking her feet over the bed and smirking at me.
"Nahin" I respond smiling like a dork.
"Yeah you are, who?" She asks laughing.
"Aman, just to hang out" I say playing with the charm bracelet on my wrist.
"Sounds like fun, I'm going out tonight anyway... so tell me how it goes?" Aisha said nicely with a smile. I returned the smile and nodded my head.
*****
I check my phone and see it's 6:59, I crawl out of bed and throw on my converse. I grab my dorm key and phone then head to Aman's dorm. I stop in front of his door and hold my breath getting myself mentally prepared to tell him how I feel. I knock twice and hear the door unlock and watch as it starts to pull back. Aman appears and he has a huge smile on his face making me smile.
"C'mon in" he laughs opening the door for me. I step inside and stand staring at his room. Something is different, I just can't place my finger on it...
"Aman?" I ask turning around and right into his rock hard chest. He smiles down at me while I feel myself burning up from embarrassment.
"Can we talk?" I ask turning back around and taking a few steps towards the wall. I start to bite my lip when he doesn't respond immediately.
"Sure" I hear him say softly behind me.Okay Priya.
It's now...
Or
Never.
Tell him how you feel!
Get your answers!
You can do this!
"Why are you always hanging around with that group." I ask not wanting to face Aman.
"Group?" Aman asks from behind me. This gets my blood boiling and I turn around to face him.
"Yeah group, don't act stupid Aman. I've seen you around this certain group of people a lot!" I semi shout trying to keep my cool.
"They are my friends." He says defensively.
"Yeah? Well then what am I? I mean seriously Aman." I scoff crossing my arms over my chest angrily.
"Where the hell is all of this coming from Priya?" Aman asks sounding hurt.
"This is coming from the fact that you are constantly lying to me!" I yell.
"How do I lie to you Priya?" Aman asks raising his tone a bit.
"By not telling me how you feel! By not telling me the truth! By treating me like I'm scum!" I yell feeling a couple tears leaving my eyes.
"By treating you like scum?" Aman asks angrily and hurt.
"Yes." I say keeping my guard.
"By not telling you the truth?" Aman says gritting his teeth and taking a step towards me.
"Yes!" I yell throwing my hands up in defeat.
"By not telling you how I feel?" Aman shouts. Now he too has tears forming in his eyes.
"Yes," I mumble.
"Shit Priya!" Aman yells angrily.
"What!" I shout feeling a fresh batch of tears leaving my eyes.
"Wanna know the fucking truth?" Aman yells taking another step closer to me. Now I'm a bit scared by his tone.
"Yeah you know what I do!" I shout trying to keep my guard.
"I hang out with that 'group' because I can't be around you." Aman shouts.
"What?" I whisper as his expressions soften a bit.
"I can't be around you because I can't control myself. I can't stand seeing you talking to other guys. I hate it! I can't think straight when I'm around you! Your like a drug that I can't get enough of, Priya this is how I feel." Aman says as a tear escapes from his eyes. I can see in his eyes that I've hurt him. I've hurt him and I didn't want to.
"But Courtney..." I whisper.
"Courtney is nothing, your everything." He sighs grabbing my arms and pulling me close to him. I feel his heart beat through his shirt and it's like something I've never heard before.
"I love you Priya." Aman mumbles. My eyes lock with his and I can see it. There is love in his eyes, lots of it.
"What?" I ask wanting to hear him say it again.
"I love you."
