We Don't Talk Anymore

Hangouts, Houses and Screenshots

Mahika's POV :

"Let's watch Friends." Rey said.

"We already know all the dialogues. Let's watch How I met your mother!" I almost screamed.

"No. No. No."

"Why?"

"You keep on swooning over Ted and Barney." He said with his eyebrows drawn together.

"But both of them are so dreamy." I said.

"Are you kidding me?!"

We were at his place just hanging out together. We hadn't spoken for almost 5 days till yesterday. So we decided to meet up and hangout.

We had just been to a movie and the ice cream place with the black ice cream, IceKraft. We saw Iron Man and oh my god is the movie fucking amazing! Both of us were superhero fans and it was sort of our thing, to watch superhero movies together.

We were now at his place and were just done with lunch, for which we had two minute noodles, because his mom wasn't home and neither of us knew how to cook. Eh well.

"Please please please, Rey!" I said and scooted near him, to do my puppy dog eyes trick. I know it's a stupid thing and doesn't work most of the times, but surprisingly enough, it worked on Rey.

Rey looked down at me and in that moment, I realised that I had moved so close to him. Rey opened his mouth to say something but closed it again. He licked his lips as his eyes moved to my lips and back to my eyes. I was doing the same thing too.

Oh god I really want him to kiss me right now.

But Rey didn't make a move. It seemed to me that he was about to change his mind, when I took the initiative and moved up to connect our lips.

Rey was shocked at first but then started kissing me back. His hand cupped my cheek while the other arm wrapped around my waist, as he pulled me close to him. He moved back to rest his back against the headrest of the bed and pulled me close. I swung my leg around his hips as I straddled his waist and Rey deepened the kiss.

This wasn't exactly our first kiss, but it felt the same. It was like magic. It felt so good and so right. I felt like I was reliving the moment me and Rey kissed, on the roof at the stroke 12, on New Year's.

But just like that, I also realized that I was kissing my best friend. The best friend that I have fallen in love with. The person who I've confided in for a long time and who took care of me in all circumstances and loved me. I love him.

I love Rey.

I pulled back and looked at him.

"No, no, no." He said and tightened his arms around me. "I'm not letting you go. Not again."

"I love you." I mumbled in a breathy voice.

Rey looked into my eyes and I knew, that he knew that I didn't mean it as his best friend.

"I love you too." Rey whispered before he bent forward.

And for some reason, unknowingly I bent back, before getting off the bed and him.

I started picking up my stuff. "I gotta go." I said

"No. Mihi, please. Don't run away from me!" Rey said.

"Rey, I'm sorry, I really have to go." I said and practically ran out of his house.

I took out my phone as I was getting on my bike, and dialled Sam's number. I popped in my earphones as the phone rang and drove away.
