An Olive Green Sweater

If You...

"Ahem! So he knows where you live also..."
"Come on! It is just a coincidence-
"It is called FATE my dear"
"Define fate for me, Ash"
"Ok look, something like this, what just happen are signs that tell you various things..."
"What are those 'various things' you are referring to over here"
"You total dumbo! FATE tells me that you both are going to be making out in some corners even without GOD knowing in a few more days!"
"Shhh! Seriously Ash?!"
After that conversation, we went and prepared spaghetti for dinner. We had dinner and since tomorrow was the last day of the cultural fest, we were excited about it as we would have to wait for another year for it to return.

"Jessie! Wake up now!"
"What happen?!"
"I got a text from Alex..."
"And...."
"He is asking me if we could go have dinner today and go on a date tomorrow..."
"Say ok..."
"Just ok or okay"
"Ok along with a few dots"
"How many dots?"
"Two?"
"How about three"
"Will do"
"Which emoji should I put"
"Put an emoji to show you are excited but it should not sound like you are way too excited...."
"Meaning?"
"I mean...play it cool"
So Ash sent a text saying,"Ok...🙂"
[Thinking why so much of discussion for a small message like that? I mean look at how perfect the text is, It is just so...so...perfect!So much perfection only comes with a lot of discussion ok?!😂]
So it was anyway time for school, we got ready and went to school and there wasn't anything so good today and it ended with a thank you speech by Chris.
It felt so good hearing his voice but since it was a thank you speech which means classes start from Monday, it also made me feel a little annoyed. But anyway, I felt this was the best annual fest I could have ever asked for. Ash and I were talking about the most random things, say- television show we watched together when we were in 5th. She suddenly asked,
"What shall I wear for dinner with Alex today?"
"Umm...why don't you wear the dress with those bell sleeves and florals you bought the other day?"
"Ok, What shall I do with my hair?How about-
"French braid?"
"Exactly what I wanted to say"
Nothing much happen for the rest of the day until evening when I had to help Ash get ready for dinner. She looked so good that when Alex will see her, he will have to search for his jaw on the floor for it would have fallen after looking at how ENCHANTED Ash was looking. I braided her hair into a French Plait and it was time for her to leave home. Alex picked her up and I went into the room and locked the door after me.
I got a call and it was from Chris. I mean, like right after Ash left and I had no one to tell me what exactly I had to speak to him. I lifted the call with trembling fingers and said, "Hello?"
"Hi Jessie! Glad you picked up"
"Hi Chris"
"You know Alex and Ashley have gone for dinner right?"
"Ya..."
"I was thinking......."
"You were thinking......"
"If you......"
"If I........"
"If you wanted to go out for dinner with me"
"Ok! That's a great idea"
"But only if you want to go"
"I will be ready in 10"
"Ok I will pick you up"
"Cool".
I got kinda nervous but my excitement overtook my nervousness though. I got ready in a beige full sleeves top and a navy blue maxi skirt and I wore my sling bag with my phone, earphones and a scarf just in case I got cold. So there is the door bell. I went and opened it and it was obviously Chris and he was wearing a dark blue pullover with jeans.
"Woof! Woof!"[Don't think Jessica has lost it and is barking😂]
"Lime, back in here! Oh hey Chris".
"So that's your pet dog?"
"Yup! Hope you aren't allergic to dogs..."
"No no, Nothing like that. Hey Lime!"
"I will be back in two minutes....I need to leave him in the room coz most of the restaurants here don't allow dogs".
So I went left Lime in the room with dog food and I went to the living room and Chris said,
"So, shall we leave?"
"Yup"
"You wanna walk there or shall I get my bike?"
"Let's walk there,shall we?"
"After you".
I locked the door and we walked to the restaurant. While we were on our way to the restaurant, it started to rain. Both of us went under a small roof of a house in the same street of the restaurant and we were kinda drenched by then. Our eyes met and his hair was damp with the rain and hanged on his forehead in the most imperfectly perfect way. I could only see him and nothing else mattered right now. He took a section of misplaced hair on my forehead and tucked it behind my ear. His hands were on my cheeks and...

And we kissed. Without my knowledge, I had my hands wrapped around his neck and I could feel his hands slide from my cheeks into my hair. At this moment, nothing else but us mattered- not the rain, not the bustling street, not the people, just-us. The world around seemed to have stopped while we kissed. The next moment, we looked into each other's eyes and it felt like words were not the only thing that help in sharing thoughts. We neither heard each other nor did we say anything, just the pattering of the raindrops and with just mere speechlessness, we got to know we wanted-no no. We NEED each other.
After that, we had dinner and we were talking about so many things casually like nothing happen. It was best this way as I didn't want our dinner to get awkward. After we were done, we went to the apartment where he said,
"Shall we watch a movie? I don't think Alex and Ashley are going to be back anytime soon.."
"My place?"
"Ok. We will go get the CD from my place"
I went into his room and while he searched for the CD, I was standing there, doing absolutely nothing and he said,
"Which Of these two-Thor or Iron Man?"
"How about both as it is hard to choose...."
"As you wish"
So we walked to my room and I got the key from my bag and I opened the door and I could not believe what I saw there....
