The moment of truth..,
Read Love story #3 for our previous encounter..,
It has been months after the heart pounding meeting we had that changed the way we treated each other. The calls become longer than usual. An altogether new feel that developed through me every minute she spoke had no boundaries of imagination.
At times the conversations were so stupid that there was no need of such, yet we enjoyed it saying, “time will answer” for all the hypothetical questions came up on each other.
I frequently heard her saying “I love your voice and the feel it gives me”. In most of our late night conversations, she fell asleep half way through which I loved as it pampered her mind from hectic schedule (she is working now and so am I).
I was very conscious about the words I chose as slightest of tensed or disappointed tone of mine disturbed her a lot once. She understood me with my silence even, which could never be done by me in my whole life. Occasionally, I asked silly clarifications about our conversations not knowing how to react for the situation.
It was her birthday month; she has already planned on a week-long leave. The day came on which I promised to take her out. For the first time, I was on time picking her and took her to the nearest shopping mall.
She had some small shopping to do like sandals, perfumes and other girlie stuff. Like the first time, it was “coffee?” from me and a way too delightful smile of acceptance from her. We chat over a coffee and shared some naughty conversations.
Its time for me to give her a present. I took her to Trends, picked up a few of my choice and asked her to try them on. One after the other she started trying them out and started taking pics of them. Once she’s done with every dress, she will whatsapp me an image and I wasn’t satisfied with any of them. She testes my patience to the core and I kinda loved the way she made me wait.
After sometime, the trail room opened. She called me in to take a look, facing her back towards me. I moved in the doorstep, looked at her in the mirror. I was stunned or should I say mesmerized at the sight of elegance?
She stood there with a black pant fully hugging her skin, Sandals that failed to cover her beautiful feet and the gem like painted nails in red. She stood there her right leg facing the mirror in front and left leg turned towards her left. This in-turn presented her pretty height with posture of royalty.
The knee length top which hugged her nicely, made my face turn red of jealousy. The pink and black colored art-work on the white sleeveless top is the second best thing she could ever wear, first being her smile.
Her right hand took the privilege of taking this everlasting image of mine to her phone. Her long fingers and sharp nails spread around the phone case made it hot in the midst of prettiness.
Her eyes fixed to the mirror failed to sense my observing eyes from the back. I moved an inch closer, not knowing how to complement this overwhelming beauty. After a moment or two, she came back to senses from praising her beauty and pride. The unusual close proximity of mine must have made her feel uncomfortable.
I know this is the first time I made her to be in such an awkward situation. Slowly her eyes darted the floor, her face filled with a pleasant distress of joy and discomfort. Watching her expressions change, my mind told me to move back but to no luck legs resisted. Slowly my right hand got hold of her hand with phone.
To see her fight through this situation, I moved a bit left. Her eyes still on the floor, she started breathing heavily. My left hand urged me to pull and bury her inside me, but this poor guy didn’t have the courage to do so.
With my shivering left hand, I took hold of her chin and made her look in the mirror. We both looked each other in the mirror as my left hand came back slowly to rest on her left elbow. A slight pressure and grip followed by it on her elbow made sure her shivering stopped.
The sweat at the back of her neck sent shocks through my spine. Her lean collarbone urged my hormones to react faster. At last, I was able to control the outcome by doing the unthinkable.
A guy, who feared hugging her rested his chin on her trembling left shoulder. Her hands were stopped from painting this image to her gallery because he felt this one is for heart. Her short height compared to Aditiya was a bit helpful as he didn’t make lustful contact with her body maintaining a reasonable distance.
That’s when my heart took charge from brain, placing a short kiss at the edge of her exposed left shoulder. He whispered “Be Mine Forever” and moved away closing the door behind to gather herself from the turn of events.
All this time, their eyes never missed a moment to look into each other, may be doing the work what the hearts were meant to do at the time..,
To be continued..,
