Your Beloved!!

#9 Twist

Well he did a really stupid thing but why was I smiling like an idiot.

Am I really ...really falling for him?
No

I ruffled my hairs with agitation.

I need to stop myself right now.

I decided to avoid him as much as possible but the tables were turned . Instead of avoiding him I would find myself still lingering on him.

Days went by and everyday I used to wait for him desperately.
I consoled myself by saying that it's only the love for his subject and not for him.

I got close with my one more friend Lana. She was good in academics and we would often discuss topics related to the subjects.

We used to go together to ask doubts to Mr. Eros. Because I really don't want to confront him alone.

There was one such day. Exams were going to start any time.
I went with Lana to his table and stood there.
Lana asked him about the doubt related to the chapter "history of cricket".
Well it was a mutual doubt between us, so I was listening him with my all concentration. 
At the mid of the explanation he offered us something to eat.

Oh how can someone be so cute

I thought to myself but declined him immediately out of manners and I didn't wanted to look like a hungry potato in front of the whole class.

"Well sir is very kind and considerate" Lana said while a smirk playing on her lips.

She was always like that. She likes joking with teachers. Mainly she likes mocking them and confronting them sarcastically. That's the only thing that I hated the most in her.

But nobody is perfect. So I can't really do anything in that.

Mr. Eros took it as a joke or a normal comment and smiled weakly.

When he was done with the explanation we thanked him and got back to our seats.

Well I was asking him this particular chapter like 5th time now.
Still whenever I go and ask him about anything he would answer each and every question whole heartedly.
I liked his dedication to his work.

Days went peacefully.

I used to have a small crush on one of my classmate. Kevin.

So we started talking to each other when we were like 13 and we were very close by now. We had one thing in common that was the choice of the favorite singer. We would sit together for hours and discuss about him and his works. People started getting the idea that we were in a relationship but we denied it every time.
But at some point we really started ignoring all this and simply enjoy each other's company.

All the late night conversations and the early morning texts were a part of our daily schedule now.

There was one such day when we were having a late night conversation he asked me

Kevin- Is there anyone else you like except your favorite singer?

Umm why is he asking that. I thought to myself.

Iris- Yes you. I joked
Kevin- Oh! You know I like you too.

Iris-What?
I was perplexed.
Iris- I mean Oh

'Oh' was the only thing I could reply.

Iris- I have to sleep now. Bye .
I said without making it more awkward.

Kevin- Okay goodnight then.

he said and I switched off my phone and threw at one side of the bed.

Why was he saying like that?

I thought to myself. He was my crush and he is actually talking to me was the biggest happiness for me and now he is saying that he likes me. How will I handle this. I always dreamt of him.He was my true and crazy crush. I decided to think of something else.
But the 'else' was nothing other than Mr. Eros Ayne. Hff! I should really avoid him.

The next day when I went to my class it was as usual like the other days but there was only one thing which was different. That was Kevin. He was smiling all the time. I wonder why is he doing that.

He was really smiling like an idiot whenever he saw me or our eyes met. It amused me but I decided to ask him later.

~At Night

Iris-Why were you smiling like an idiot today?

Kevin-Umm can I ask you something ?

Iris-Yeah sure

Kevin-Do you really like me? I mean really like me?

Iris-Yes I do. But why are you asking this?

Kevin-Because you are my crush Iris and knowing that you likes me too is the most amazing thing for me.

I was nonplussed on his sudden confession. A blush creeped over my face. I could swear that I was tomato red at that point.

Kevin-Are you offended ? I am sorry if I said anything wrong.

I noticed that I wasn't replying but just smiling.

Iris-No I am not offended.

Kevin-Oh ..so?

Iris-So?

Kevin-You want to say something?

I wanted to say that yes I like you so much but later decided not to say this.

Iris-No

Kevin-Okay then goodnight

Iris-Goodnight :-)
