Fault in my Stars

"God! I am so happy for you Jessi, I knew it Barry would come to ask you this one day." Emma squealed with joy giving me bear hug as I disclose my sweet secret.

"Damn this boy" Jessi suddenly made face. "What?" I probed,

"now you two won't get much time to spend with each other since exams are on face."

"Oh that's not a problem. Barry said we can study together at his apartment." I said smiling.

"Aww my innocent darling. Do you really think two newly lovers can concentrate on studies? You two probably would be either kissing or cuddling... mark my words." Jessi said challengingly. Her words sent chills down my spine. I haven't even imagined us doing it yet and she already said it.

"Emma, that's not going to happen. You think too much." I admonished though I was feeling tensed inside.

"Ok. All the best then." She shrugged and we moved to our class.

I clicked the door bell and waited for Barry to open the door. It was our first day of studying together for exams at his rented apartment and I was feeling two kind of emotions rotating in my belly. Lot of excitement and ample of restlessness.

"Hii, I was about to call you just." Barry said with delighted smile on his gorgeous face as he ushered me inside.

"Sorry I know I am late. It's just I couldn't decide what is nice to wear. Emma was out for some work and I just forgot to ask her to help me to select dress. I think I am not looking that boring, right?" I don't know why I was telling him which wasn't necessary at all. Maybe my anxiety is messing up my head. I smiled sheepishly putting my backpack on sofa.

His still gaze made me even more uncomfortable. What he might be thinking right now? I sighed and touched my forehead, it was wet. Oops he's watching sweat forming on my forehead.

"Jessi, is anything bothering you? Tell me frankly." He asked crossing hands on his chest.

"Emma was saying some stupid things about us. It's not that important. Shall we start our study."

"If it wasn't that important then you wouldn't be sweating right now. Just tell me what it is?" He persisted.

I inhaled a deep breath before I told him what Emma talked about us. He listened it carefully and I just gulped in anticipating his reaction.

Barry came by my side and I watched his every movement carefully.

"I just wanted to say that.....

Emma is right. I am not saying it would happen on first or second day but it would happen for sure.

You look beautiful in anything you wear, so I can't promise if I do naughty things with you." He chuckled, I too smiled. Then he kissed on my forehead.

"We will study at our respective places as we need to score good marks. See you after exams." He said with hint of sadness. I nodded gloomily and hugged him quickly before I left his house.
