Can't Help falling in love with you
He picked up the phone as soon as the phone rang. Why Not? He was waiting for her call.
"Hello" he replied, hastily.
"Oh! hi" she replied, calmly.
and then there was a sudden hush.
"So?" she broke the silence.
"I called you 10 mins. before" he said.
"Yeah. Didn't see the call." and then inquired instantly about the places where they could meet up.
"Cafe Coffee day" was the instant reply. He had been thinking of this place from a long time. His memory flashed instantly to the their previous meeting over the same place. It was great, he thought.
"10 mins?" he knew it would take her more time to reach the place.
"Okay, I'm nearby. I'll be there"
He knew he was late by 5 mins or so. He entered CCD and searched for her. The place wasn't so crowded. Two boys were sitting on the couch. He expected her to be seated in such a way that she could watch the door, waiting for him. She wasn't watching the door but she was there. He was upset. He thought he shouldn't have forced her to come here. He should have read the signs or were there any signs? Did she also want to meet him? "Whatever" he thought.
He took the seat opposite to her. WOW!. He controlled himself from dropping his jaw. She was looking absolutely STUNNING. He asked her directly about the makeover she had. Why Not! She was looking STUNNING.
"Looking good" he said.
She smiled. Blushed.
She was wearing a black top and a denim jean jacket. The word 'STUNNING' came to his mind again. He looked at himself in the Ray-Ban. Long hair, unshaven look. He felt a sense of inferiority, something that doesn't really happen. He was shocked and she, beautiful.
He was about to take his favorite coffee. She insisted to take something she liked. He was very happy that she suggested something and ordered it without giving it a thought. A very seldom thing to do by him. They talked about everything. They sat for about an hour.
Then she had to go to purchase some books. He asked her, outright, if he could join her on the shopping. She hesitated.
"Oh my god!" the boy thought. He asked himself to be calm, regained his poise, paid the bill.
He was again STUNNED by watching her full length. The Jean was perfect fit. He instantly thought the only thing that did not fit her was him. He felt Inferior- again. He saw the white Puma shoes- perfect.
They went to the ATM. She was out of cash.
He again checked the possibility of him coming to the shopping with her. She declined diplomatically. She bid him goodbye and sped past him after wearing her helmet. He stood there for few more minutes, thinking about her.
He wanted to say it, once and for all. He missed the chance- again. But, he was back to his normal- confident self again. He kick- started his bike, confidently and the very next moment felt a chill run down his spine. If he could only turn back time, he would confess- come what may
- he would love her.
