So kissing her might have been an irrational idea.

Why?

I have a five finger hand print on my right cheek where she slapped me.

I don't know why I did it. I mean I am not that kind of a person in the first place. But then again; with Indah, things are different. Very Different.

"Arrgghh!" I pulled my hair with my fingers.

"You will go bald soon"

I sighed deeply and looked up to my best friend staring me down.

"She slapped you. Why?"

"I kissed her"

"And?"

"She called off the servant deal."

"And?"

"She said she doesn't want to see me again"

"And?"

"And nothing else! It was a complete instinctive and insensitive move. I didn't even know I was thinking of it until I was kissing her!" I muttered and he nodded, taking a seat on the couch beside me.

"It was your conscious doing what has been at the back of your mind for a long time. Tell me Kirun, you like the girl?" he asked me, looking at me with those scrutinizing green eyes.

I thought about it. I like Indah? Huh. I chugged the bottle of beer down and set the empty one on the table.

"No. I don't think I like her. But I think I may be....falling for her?" I replied, unsure of my feelings at the moment. Everything was hazy. Maybe it was the beer taking over? Did I mix my beer with something else? I think I had a martini too.

"So you like her." He said and I shrugged again.

"Let me tell you something Cayden told me once. People fall in love once in a lifetime. And that love is enough to last them forever. Whether they get the same love back or not is not up to them. Fate is a dramatic Bitch. It would play you and then give you what it wants. Don't fall in its trap. If you love her, go for her. There is no room for doubt in love. Unquote"

I looked at him, searching for any emotion. But I only found his masked face. Carwayn was a pessimistic creature. He would never say such words. Of course Cayden was different. Cayden was his older brother who was a lawyer now and is a total charmer. So I believed it when he said it was Cay who said it.

It was right though. But am I ready to take chances with her? I mean she is pretty much important to me.

"I don't know!!" I whined and picked up the other bottle of beer. Is it even beer? Opening it, I drank before having it taken away from me.

"You are going to kill yourself at this rate"

"Sure" I muttered, taking it back and drinking straight from the bottle.

"I heard you got slapped for kissing Indah" I groaned and looked up to see my best friends grinning at me like fools. Why am I even friends with them?! Oh right. Because we all went to the same school since we were 12? I think.
