More than all the stars in the sky - An Addicted Prequel

The after effects.

Manvi's POV that night:

"Excuse me? You what?" her friend screams on the phone.

"I don't know okay. It was so sudden, I could not stop him..."

"Okay slow down. Guide me step by step. You guys were in the subway..."

"Yes.."

"And this was after dinner and dancing?"

"Well..."

"Yes or No Manvi.."

"Yes..."

"Okay..you were in the train and he holds your hand.."

"Yes."

"And then he pecks your cheek."

"Swe...you really should speed up the conversation..This guy, out of the blue, kisses me in the train. Can I have outrage please?"

"Answer me Manvi.."

"Yes sherlock...he did."

"And then he kisses you..on your lips."

"YES!" Manvi closed her eyes and cursed the moment she decided to tell her friend. She is going to dissect the living daylight out of her.

"What kind of a kiss was it?"

"I don't know Swe. I have no point of reference to compare it to."

"Were tongues involved?"

"I am hanging up."

"I swear I will take a bus and arrive at your door in the morning if you hang up on me now Manvi..."

"Gosh! Swe..it was uh...soft little kiss..tender..kind of like a gentle nibble.."

"I see. And then you ran..."

"I ran like a girl running for the gold medal at the Olympics."

"Ok..I get the scenario. I have questions now."

"Kill me."

"I am just getting started."

"You did not run when he held you hand."

"No."

"You did not run when he pecked you on your cheek."

"Nooooo....."

"You did not push him away while he was kissing you.."

"No."

"What would you have done if it was a random guy in the subway?"

"I would have kneed him in the groin."

"Yet..you gave him a hug when you said goodbye.."

Manvi did not reply. She looked at the phone lost in thought.

"Did you kiss him back?"

"Uh?"

"Did you respond to this said gentle nibble."

"I DON'T know!"

"I am pretty sure you do..."

Manvi thought back about the bundle of chaos that were unleashed in her at the moment. She felt her gulp and her face warm up just by remembering it. "This was the worst idea...I am never speaking about this again..It never happened. That's it."

"Are you calling him tomorrow?"

"I don't know."

"You want to know what I think?"
