The Velvet touch

Hilal's Mischievous Mind

I put my arms on his head. His head moved a bit and my hand was immersed in his brown floppy hair. I felt a sort of comfort. i tried to see his face through the corner of my eyes. i could see his nose and drooped eyebrows. His face was near my shoulders. I looked straight at the camera which was ready to captivate this moment of ours. He put his hands on my knee as per the direction of the cameraman. His body leaned against mine but his eyes were fixed on the lens of the camera. He smelled sweet, extra sweet. 'His perfume maybe' thought my curious mind quickly. 'Gucci or Chanel?' groped my mind. 

-'Eyes on the camera, Hilal' the cameraman threw this at me. 

i gathered myself quickly and gave a stiff look at the camera. He was sitting still with one leg totally folded. His jeans reflected on the shiny wooden floor. My hair came over my eyes. 'Frizzy hair ugghhh' I felt so annoyed. He suddenly put his hand on his mouth pulling my legs closer to his lips. The leg position changed, my heart crunched. 'Why does my heart crunch so often nowadays' I tried to think. 

-'Or does YOUR heart crunch only when you are around Leon?'

There we go. My MIND is here to argue and kill me with her logic. 

-'Damn, no. Why only him? Ridiculous'. I feared of getting caught. 

-'Let's find out' my mind smirked. 

This is not good. THIS IS NOT GOOD. I never like when my mind behaves like this.  

-Ye..eaah let's see. I bet i can find many places where my heart crunched and Leon was nowhere near' i defended, a bit nervous. 

-'Recall please' my mind's abnormal smirk. 

Woooh. I'm afraid of her. My 'mind' is a female just like me but much more daring and enthusiastic. She is merciless! Especially when she roasts me. She is sometimes brutally curious and pleasantly annoying. She is a chatterbox talking continuously to embarrass me now and then. I literally freak out as she is too loud at times. What if someone hears her? The other day she was so loud to call Brad from my college 'Fatso' that he gave me a hideous look. Well, yeah he is the 'Fat-Lad Brad' but that's nothing to scream around right? I fought with her (my mind) the whole night. Like she can't just make me lose friends, can she? Or ummm at least the people I know. Jeez! 

My 'Mind'- 'Where are you wandering, little idiot?'

Me- 'Ughh stop it. Don't call me an idiot. I'm way better' 

My Mind- 'Yeah right and I like Fatso'. 

Me- 'Ewww gross. Wrong. You are always wrong'. 

My Mind- RECALL!!!

Me- Oh yeah. yes. umm well, the first time my heart crunched i was at Rika's birthday party. Leon was no where near. Huh! Gotcha!

My Mind- 'Leon joined the party accidentally, his car broke down, he was blue, he smelt of mint. HAAAH he was there. Not only near, very near. Loser (1-0)'

Me- 'Ohh stop! what happened the other day at Borsa? My heart crunched when i was swallowing a big pancake.' 

My Mind- 'Devouring Leon's mom's special pancakes hmm. Bingo!Same side goal, loser (2-0)' 

Me- (impatient enough) Stop. Last Sunday when we went for a road trip where was he there? My heart crunched. You know why? Because I saw 'Borek.' I saw food, do you get me?' I was nervously furious. 

My HEART- 'That was an attack for your kind information' 

Right. An icing on the quarrel cake. My heart joined to oppose me as well. Allah bizi affetsin! 

Me- 'I despise you, both of you. And i hate your unwanted entry, heart!' 

My mind- 'Hi5, heart-mate!' 

Mind and heart on one side. Against me. That was an outrageous war. 

Me- Hell, stop. Buzz off!

My mouth spilled.

Leon- 'You said something?' 

I was startled and ashamed and embarrassed and what not. I started to look for explanations.

Me- 'No, no. just my umm.. knees' (Oh shit! i wanted to say shoes. Now he will move his hand. Damn, shit) 

Leon- 'I'll just...move my hand then...' 

Me- 'Hey no, no its fine. Fine absolutely. You can...umm keep it here.'

Leon smiled cheekily. It melt me. He did not move his hand even when he was insisting to move it. Damn, his touch. His Velvet Touch. I love it!
