18th February 2019 

I checked my messenger for the fifth time before retiring to bed, and there was still no text from Karan. I was stripped of my rights. We haven't seen each other in a month. Unwanted thoughts began to fill my mind. I plug in my iPod and turn on the music to distract myself from my thoughts. I slept soundly that night.

For breakfast, Mom made Poha. I crammed three or four bites into my mouth and rushed to catch the train. I decided to get a quick breakfast at Mcdonald's because my stomach was nearly empty. I've disliked Poha since childhood, but in order to avoid the drama, I ate a few bites to appease my mother.

 During a literature class, I received a message from a stranger asking to meet me outside my gym's building site. I had a fleeting notion of Karan and inquired about his name. I recognized his tone when he said, "Maybe not." Karan was the one. He was always a pain in the neck and overly intelligent, yet I unconsciously liked him. I responded "Okay, that's it. Meet at 9:00 p.m "and returned to paying attention to my lesson.

 The day had finally arrived. I had planned to meet him. With blue denim, I wore my favorite off-shoulder top. I was a complete shambles. I wanted to make a good first impression on us. At 9:05 a.m., I arrived at the location. The room was dimly lit. The area was littered with cement and dry sand. Only one light shone near the entryway, while the rest of the room was dark and vacant. I had an odd feeling. Karan would have phoned me at this location on purpose, right? Is it possible that someone was playing a joke on me? My heart was pounding in my throat. I cautiously looked around and began looking for him. I was startled to feel a hand on my shoulder. When I glanced around, I noticed a young boy standing close by. His features were barely discernible. He grab me and took me near the entrance. And there he was smiling suspiciously towards me. 

 "What's the matter?" he inquired.

I wrapped my arms around him and embraced him hard. I wanted to be enveloped in his warmth. He had a strong woody odor. He was dressed in blue jeans and a cream colored t-shirt. I hurriedly stepped back to hide my flushed cheeks after realizing what had happened. "I'm a little scared," I admitted. Why would you contact me at this location? It appears to be murderous."

"There's no reason." He said, "I thought this site would be ideal."

We took a walk. It had been a one-hour walk. The moon shone brightly. We were surrounded by silence. At this hour, not a single person was present. It was just the two of us. He was describing how he finished his engineering in Jaipur and spent the next four years in another city. His family was shifted here 2 years back and he knew nobody until he joined the gym. No wonder he was trying on me. He was a loner like me. 

 "I've always wanted to work in Canada. While strolling alongside me, I said, "I hope it gets fulfilled someday."

"You'll do it." 'Btw, do you have a girlfriend?' I inquired, my curiosity piqued.

He gave me the same skeptical look he always gave me.

"I used to have one. But our relationship didn't work out well once we moved here," he explained.

"How about you?" he inquired.

"I've been single for a year," I said.

 We were wandering around near the construction zone. I had a habit of forcing boys to accompany me on walks. Because sitting in one spot made me uncomfortable. Trucks were parked across the streets as I returned. I was talking to him about relocating to Mumbai when he grabbed my arm and pulled me behind the truck. He drew me close before I could retreat my thoughts. One hand rests on my waist, while the other rests on my neck. I could sense him breathing. He kissed me the next thing I knew. At first, softly. Once, twice, and the flow made it more difficult. With a passionate urgency, it proceeded from softer to denser and deeper. Our lips brushed against each other as we spoke. My hands shifted from his back to his hair. My hands moving from his back to holding his hair tightly. 

"I can stop if you wish," he said quietly. I drew him close to me without saying anything. My arms enveloped him, bringing him against me, and he whimpered softly, low in his throat. We were kissing like it was our last breath as if our lives relied on it. His tongue enters my mouth again, but this time it is gentler but more demanding.

I came to a halt and stared into his eyes. It was dimly lit, but not so dimly that I couldn't see him staring at me.

"That was something," I said softly as I pushed him back. I began to feel out of breath in a new and exciting way.

He drew me closer to him once more. He had a woody, fresh scent to him. My heart races and my veins throb. This is the first time I've ever desired someone like this. Ever. He lightly bites my lips this time. He has the flavor of sweet diet coke. This was the last thing I wanted to happen. My world was turned upside down when I realized I had made out in public, which was quite dangerous, but I didn't mind.

He dropped me off near the door to my building. He gave me a hug and said his goodbyes. He began walking backward. I remained standing there, staring at him until he vanished. I began heading in the direction of my wing. I couldn't keep a smile off my face. I was taken aback. So, what exactly happened? Is it true that I just did it? To be honest, I've never kissed a random guy. It went against my morals and life discipline. I didn't want anything to happen between my ex and myself again after what happened. Is it possible that I gave myself to Karan too soon? There were certain thoughts that came to mind. Suspicious and dangerous. Something didn't feel right. I ignored it and went straight for the doorbell.
