Summary : Friendship or Love? Which will win over them?
We stood silently beside each other. Our happy, carefree conversation came to a stop abruptly when he slipped his hand in mine. A simple move, but it still managed to stop my heart and look at him, with surprise written all over my face. Misreading my surprise as discomfort, he withdrew his hand. And I just stood there, like a gargoyle. But how can anyone blame me when I've never been in such a situation?
I knew he was watching me. I could see him from the corner of my eye. The breeze notched up a level. As I struggled to control my hair from the wind, his hand came up, catching a stray strand and proceeded to securely tuck it behind my ear. but instead of taking his hand away, he let it linger on neck. I felt the heat creeping u my neck and to my cheeks. Yet, ironically, I was rather glad that the icy cold wind whipping past me; I could still feel the chill, despite wearing the coat which he had wrapped around my shoulders a while back.
His hand was now around my waist and he gently tugged me towards him. I lurched forward and held onto him in order t steady myself. I looked up at him and that's when I lost myself into his deep brown eyes. They bored into me with such intensity, I had to remind myself how to breathe. He tilted my head up and then lowering his eyes to my lips, he leaned in.
At one point of time, I felt my heart flutter so fast, it hurt. And then I thought it might have stopped. His lips, soft and warm, moved against mine with an unmasked desire. I truly thought that we had fallen off the cliff where we were standing, because that was the only possible way to describe how I was feeling. Still, I was overjoyed, elated in another part of my mind. For, after all, this was the very moment I dreamt of, wished and hoped to God to come true.
His hand on my waist tightened its grip, as he pulled me closer to him. His other hand slipped behind my head. He moved my head to the side, as he deepened the kiss. I wrapped my arm around his broad shoulders and the other one was lost in his tousled hair.
Slowly, almost regretfully, he pulled away. The two of us were now extremely grateful for the cool breeze which caressed our hot, flushed faces. I tucked my head on his chest, and his hand automatically began to stoke my hair.
He lifted my face up to his. I gave him a hesitant smile which he returned with his usual boyish grin, which had won me over years ago. Unable to help myself I smiled back and let out a chuckle . his grin widened as he pulled me into his arms and hugged me tight.
I sighed happily as we turned and headed back to the castle, away from the glittering sea,
hand in hand,
our hearts feeling glad,
content
and
completely in love.
