I inhale and a mint-like smell strikes my nostrils. Loving the feeling I inhale again and rub my face on the warm place. Slowly, I open my eyes only to meet a jawline in front of it.

It takes me a while to process the whole situation. I blink rapidly in order to decipher where I exactly am. When I move my hand it touches something solid, after moving back a little I realise that solid thing is actually a human being or rather a manly figure.

I tilt my head and my eyes travel up only to see him sleeping with his mouth open. An innocent look adorning his face.

And suddenly it all comes rushing to my mind.
I remember I was with him last night. From playing twenty questions and him humming soothing tune and telling me about music we didn't realise when we fell asleep - in his bed, with him beside me.

Now that I'm wide awake and completely in my proper sense, I can't bring myself to go away from him. So I hold his waist with my right hand in a possessive manner and look at the sight in front of me.

The face I've been adoring from last couple of years and the person I've been loving from equally the same time, but for whom I'm just another friend; though quite a close one; which I don't mind at all. Still sometimes it becomes hard not to show that I care for him in that way or I actually do love him.

Instinctively he turns back, facing me, and his hands find my form, squeezing me gently in a hug-like embrace. The gesture sends me off-guard although he did it in his sleep, unknowingly.

My other hand finds its way on his chest and his heart beats rapidly in my palm. I find a rhythm to it, a soothing one. Tingles appear in my whole body and I focus on controlling my breathing, trying to match it with his own.

A satisfied sigh leaves my mouth and I trace the angelic face with my eyes. There's a peaceful twitch on his lips quite like a small smile. His eyes are closed and face is glowing with the sunrays coming from the side window. His long lashes cast a shadow on his smooth cheeks. I've this sudden urge to trace his cheeks with my finger but I restrain myself from doing so.

I take my time to appreciate his beauty while my mind travels back to the start of the most beautiful thing of my life - this friendship.

In the first few days I used to think it's a co-incidence, just another one from the daily occurrences. It happened so comically that it seemed scripted from some typical novel yet it was, somehow, discreet.

Slowly his eyes start crinkling and he flutters open them one by one, looking directly at me. This small gesture makes my heart beat with a ferocious pace. I move back a little, from him.

A smile curves on his perfectly shaped small lips. He mutters 'good morning' in his just-woke-up husky voice, his breath fanning my face, which sends a pleasurable shiver down my body. An easy smile finds its way on my lips as I say, "good morning''.

I sit up followed by him. And an awkward silence passes by. Then I mutter, "Sorry, I don't know when I fell asleep last night."

He chuckles, saying, "From when have you started being so shy and talking to me so politely?" I laugh at this.

"From the time you're having your amazing hairs", I reply by shuffling his hairs.

Well done, Tanshi! Long way to go. My annoying inner voice mutters in a mocking tone.
I ignore it, of course.

The reply was just an excuse to touch His hair. 'Cause it's quite hard to resist! Clićhe I know, but who cares!

He wiggles one of his eyebrows and says, "Did you just appreciate my good looks? Oh My God!". He keeps his hand on heart in a dramatic way.
I roll my eyes at his little drama and say, "Orom mone hoy".

Ignoring my comment he says, "I know you love my sexy look".
"Fuck off!", I say hitting his arm in a playful smack.
With the look he gives me I can say he's going to come with a nasty remark. "Well, never mind" I dismiss quickly before he can utter anything.

He starts laughing at me. And the sound fills the silent room making it more audible & taking my heart away with it, slowly & all over again.
I can't help the warmth forming on my heart seeing him smiling. The way his eyes crinkle, his white shiny teeth appear and his lips twitch! If anyone would ask me where's heaven I'd say in him.

Trust me, I'm in heaven right now!
