The girl they will never have

24.

He hugged me.

But when someone hugs you,aren't you suppose to feel their arms around you. Well in my case,that's not what I'm feeling. As soon as zaid intruded my space,I'm sure my eyes looked as big as a golf ball. My first instinct was to push him back and shout at him. I'm not overreacting but in my case this is not normal.

Zaid was ofcourse very much near me but he didn't touch me. But seeing the way he was standing close to me,I finally could ask him

"What are you doing zaid?"

"Uhh,there's barbed wire stuck to your jacket. If you move,your jacket might rip. So stand still,I'm removing it."

There goes my vivid imagination of pushing him. Although he was close,he didn't touch me or something,given the guys of today,they would literally wait for my jacket to rip apart. A small part of me was happy knowing that he wasn't like that. I could feel something being removed from my jacket and after that,zaid stepped back to his earlier position,showing a wire in his hand.

"Thank you." I said him smilingly to which he smiled back and did a slight bow telling

"Always my pleasure." in a British accent. We started laughing on his failed attempt of mimicking it. After some silence,he spoke up

"So?"

"So ..."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah....."

"Okay stop this,what do you want to say. If we keep playing this narcissus game,I'm sure we would end up like them."

"Yeah you are right,so say about yourself." He said me now looking all interested.

"No,you speak. I'm listening."

"But I have been talking,now it's your turn."

"I don't have anything to say. But you say about your family."

"Okay. I guess I have to do the talking." I gave him a slight nod and he continued

"I have an elder brother and a sister. They stay in Canada. Actually we. But I'm staying in Windsor for a few months to finish my school here. And then I go back to Canada. I do a bit of traveling to California and sometimes L.A. with my friends sometimes. So it's just this. I'm closer to my sister who is already married. My brother and I have a classic relationship. I hang out with my friends most of the times."

"That's cool." Yes,it would probably be cool to me when I have not stepped in a plane for once and travelled only by train to only one neighborhood city. That's the end to my travel dairy. And I'm right now so jealous of all those travelers and even Zaid.

Smirking I asked him

"Aren't you missing Las Vegas a.k.a SIN CITY from your traveling expedition.?"

This made him a bit quiet and shaking his head and with a small smile,he replied

"You know you should be a principal or something like that. You are really an observer,aren't you. The only thing that you thought missing from all this is my playboy side? But the answer to that would be yeah,I have been there two times with my friends but nothing more. We went there only for one of my friend's birthday bash. There were no-"
