I remember that chat. 12 January 2014. 7.30 pm. We were flirting, having continued with it for a week by then maybe. Its funny how you don't talk to a classmate all year n one fine day, just because u guess ur friend likes him, u msg him n end up talking almost the entire day. I realised she didn't really like him. I made sure she didn't. N then quietly, like a tired man vanishing to sleep while story-telling his 3 year old princess, I fell for him. I didn't want to. I had been heart broken n ripped 2 times already. Already had I tasted the bitterness that relationships leave behind. N the worst thing, it stays on in ur mouth for real long days. N U can never be sure whether it really did go, or are U just used to it.
The chat.
Me: What are U doing?
He: shopping.
Me: for?
He: myself for now. Only if u were my girl, I'd do that for u too
Me: I dont mind, baby
He: Hey! Im serious.
Me: Yea, so am I
*I weren't sure if he were serious like I were, or were he just taking the flirt business to another level. So I just replied in a stuck position. With winks that meant its a joke n words meaning all the love I had for him*
He: Im really serious. We can give it a shot maybe. N see if this works out?
I got lost. I was lost in the fact that the guy I had a crush on is *almost* asking me out. I was attacked. Attacked by the fact that I were still struggling to get rid of the bitter taste from the previous ones. I was confused. Confused by the fact that this might just be a fling for him. I was in love. In love with the guy who just asked me if I wanted to be with him. What does a girl do in this? Well not much if the guy is soo good.
I messaged him all the questions my little mind was attacked by all at once. He called n told me about his previous relationship. About how he too had just been managing to erase the taste. About how he really wanted this thing with me. About how much he might grow to love me.
I couldn't resist. "I love U", I said.
I could hear him want to scream n jump right where he was- on the road.
And that is the beginning of my best boyfriend.
