"What's the matter Ro Ro? You are acting weird..."Adams words broke my thoughts.

Here I'm sitting infront of my best friend and thinking of different ways to propose this guy.

Oh my god...what will be his first reaction. One thing I'm  sure about is he's definitely going to laugh at me.

'But what if he rejects you..' my inner voice questioned me.

No way...that is never going to happen. I already know he likes me.
He always gives me hints and I just act like I don't notice anything. So chances of him saying no is nil.

I'm having this turmoil for quite long period. Now I can't hold it anymore. Confessing to him was my only solution left.

"Ro Ro...earth girl....earth.."

"Yes Ed ..I'm here only"

"But you seem lost in your thoughts Ro.." I replied  him with a pretty fake smile

"What's the matter ..Is somebody or something giving you trouble." He suddenly take my hands in his..
"You know right, I'm always here for you."

Take that hands away mister. You are the reason of my trouble. Your actions and words are not helping me either.

"Ro Ro you are shaking..are you not well.."

He raised hand to touch my forehead.oh god...this man..
I raised my hands and signal him to stop..his eyes are now filled with uncertainity

"Okay...Ed I have something to talk with you."

"What's the matter?you are about to give me a heart attack."

Only if you knew... I bite my inner cheeks to hold my laugh

"Don't interrupt me in between. Okay. I think we've been friends for many years now. Well I was thinking about intimating this talk for quite a long time . I have seen this in movies and read in many books. I thought it would be easy..but not really.
And with you....errrr....
Whatever..I just want to say,
I LOVE YOU."

After my so called disastrous confession I closed my eyes and my ear with my hands.I didn't want to watch his reaction. When did I become such a coward. I was waiting for his reply. Few minutes have already passed..still no reply. This guy.. I opened my eyes.

His face looks so different..he is not laughing at me like I assumed. He is not happy..is he mad at me? No I guess. What do his blank eyes even mean? Is he having war with his inner demon..

"Ed say something.."

"I think there is no US  Rose."
This wasn't what I had expected, he sounded like a stranger to me

With that words he walked away from the coffeeshop..

More precisely he stepped out from my life...

HE left ME
