Fault in my Stars

8

I was moving to the cafeteria in our college campus but suddenly Barry held my hand, I looked at him startled, "I know one amazing place, they serve best coffee. I have my car so we can reach there just in 10 minutes, what say? Are we going?" He asked with such an adorable way, how I could not say yes.

"Why not." I murmured with smile. He smiled widely and led me towards his car.
It was black Ferrari. How could this possible that I never noticed this boy was so rich. Some people never boast about their wealth, Barry was one of them.

I was worried about my face, It was glowing with excitement and I badly wanted to hide it from him. It's just a coffee and not any romantic date still I am getting goose bumps on my skin. He probably would have noticed it.

"I always wanted to talk with you from the day one, many girls take it badly if any boy gives stares or talk without a purpose. That's why I prefer to make male friends only."

I gave him disbelieving look. "Not every girl thinks such way."

"I know, but later I thought if you are not one of them you would come to talk. You started spending much time with your friends and singing club...it made me more miserable, I didn't know what was happening to me...I wasn't feeling at peace so today I decided to confront my fear and talk with you."

I was shocked with his revelation. "But why didn't you smile back when I smiled at you that day?"

"I didn't? I am so sorry, I didn't even know that you smiled at me. When? Where?" He asked baffled. I slapped my palm on my forehead.

We took a coffee in very posh cafe in the mall. He wanted to buy some clothes from there so we spent time together to find nicer clothes out of that clothes treasure. He insisted me to buy some clothes for me. I didn't want to buy those expensive clothes so I started making excuses.

"Do you love me?" He asked out of blue but with serious expression on his face.

"wha-what...I didn't get it." I stammered and licked my dry lip nervously.

"Come on I told you about my feelings, how I feel without you. You too have to tell me, do you love me Jessi?" He persisted.

"Yes, from the first day, when first time my eyes fell on you. I liked you a lot ....Um....it could be love or could be attraction...I don't know" I confessed before I could deny it.

"Well we can figure it out if you are ready to spend your time with me?"

"Gladly." I grinned. Before I knew I was embraced in his arms. Happiness washed over me. I too hugged him back without caring of people's odd gazes.

He pulled away. "Now let me buy dress for my cute girlfriend." He said pinching my cheeks gently, I blushed.
