My Heart is Yours Forever

Hope

Caleb and I were sitting in my bedroom when our game began. I did not understand why he was so keen on playing that game.

He sat in the far end of my bed while I sat near my pillow.

"So let me start" he said looking at me with a light smile on his face.

"Yeah go on" I said.

"What is your favorite pass time" he asked  me.

I was a little dissapointed by his question. By the looks and excitement he showed, I was expecting some funny and interesting . He asked me something that he already knew.

"Reading, you knew that ya  " I said whinning like a little kid.

I guess he understood that I was dissapointed. He simply said "I'm not playing this game to have fun, Bri. I'm playing it to know my new friend better."

I felt guilty. Why didn't this thought come to my mind? Why did I act like he was doing something wrong. He was just trying to know me better, nothing else.

"I'm sorry for my childish behavior." he just shook his head and smiled at me so I continued "So it is my turn. I know your favorite pass time already, why don't you tell me your favorite colour?"

He did not change his expressions. He said "Dark blue. Ok so, what is your favorite movie?"

I replied "There are many but if I had to choose one from all of them, I'd say The Prestige. Its mind blowing"

He nodded and then said "I like it too. Anyways your turn"

"Favorite book?" I asked.

"So you think I read too?" he had a smirk on his face. I nodded in reply. He continued "Well, I do sometimes but not much. Out of all the books I have read, I guess my favorite is The Alchemist."

He scratched his head a little. He shrugged and then said."Who is your favorite music artist?"

I knew that this question would come. "Ed Sheeran." I said.

Caleb was a person who was into music and I knew that he had something to say as soon as I replied.

"What is so good about a british guy with a red hair. Is it his accent or his love songs?"

I knew that he would say something about it. Something nasty. After knowing Caleb for almost two weeks, I realised that one negetive trait he had was commenting on the people's choices or behaviour. He always had something to say.

"Why does everyone think that we girls like British guys because of their accent?" I asked abruptly

"Beacuse it is true " he said bluntly.

"Yeah you are right. It is true but I like him because of his voice. He has a voice which can calm me when I'm having a bad day. It helps me fall asleep. It helps me clear my mind." I told him the truth.

"Yeah. Well its ok. Everyone has their own share of choices." he said with a blank expression.

"Yeah right. So who are your favorite actors? Both the genders?" I said changing the topic.

"I don't like many. I find Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johansson good." he replied. "Same question to you too."

"I like many. I like Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, and many more. I cant just choose one or two." I said, yawning a little."Next, what is the most amazing thing you have ever done?"

He was playing with my teddy bear's tail subconsciously at that moment.

What? I'm a girl too. I have a teddy bear.
