CONFESSIONS

Dev murmured 'Happy Birthday Chandni' as he fed me a small piece of cake.

Wait!
He never called me Chandni and why was he sounding so husky all of a sudden?

Stop it!
As usual, I was imagining things.

I shook my head as I sliced a piece of cake with cherry and tried to feed him. But the icing was soft, and the cake began to slip away from my fingers.

Dev grabbed my hand...

(Oh my! I will remember this day forever!)

...closed his mouth around the cake and my fingers!

... and a hot rush which started somewhere in my core began to spread inside with lightning speed and I felt my cheeks burn.

His mouth was so warm and his lips, they were everything I imagined them to be, and more.

My lips parted as I watched him close his eyes and lick my fingers. Was the cake so good?

Damn it!

Why couldn't he look at me when I was looking at him so desperately, ready to confess my love that I had buried for five long years?

*****
Dev was Chandni's best friend once, but they hardly shared a happy moment now a days, even though they met frequently. As next door neighbours.

He had become a hot Pilot and she was leaving for Australia in a week's time to do her Master's in IT.
No point in confessing her love for him now, right?
