365 nights of Love!

HOT LIPS

I held Elina’s both arms tightly and squealed but very softly, trying to supress my voice, “Elina! HE TOUCHED ME! VAN TOUCHED ME! OH MY GOD!”

Elina laughed but as I started squealing louder and everyone gave us strange looks, she covered my mouth and whispered, “Shhh…quiet! Don’t create a scene!”

“Okay, Okay…..I am sorry! But can you believe this!” Then I pouted, “I couldn’t even feel him much…I thought it was a dream.”

The next hour was really very difficult for me to sit quietly at a place! As I couldn’t help but look at him again and again! His arm muscles were so tight and chiselled that I felt like touching and feeling them.

“Eli! Please move a little back!” I asked Elina to move back since Van has leaned forward and rested his head on his hands in front. I bent a little forward and observed him. After a couple of minutes he again leaned back and I could no more see him as I could’t bend further!

“Eli! Please bend forward a little!” I requested Elina and she rolled her eyes. I saw my love, seated comfortably leaning back, his head resting on the seat. He has folded his arms at the back of his head and closed his eyes!

I kept staring at him like a teenage girl admiring her dream star! Time flew like an arrow!

Elina now stretched her back and rotated her head and leaned back resting her body on the seat.

“Elina! I can’t see him!” I complained!

“Please Kia! I can’t sit bending for the rest sixteen hours! My back has started to pain!” Elina complained and I frowned but had to understand! The poor girl was moving forward and backward since last one hour!

“Okay. I am sorry!” I said apologetically and then opened my laptop! I thought to try to divert my mind for some time. Maybe I will write some chapters of the new Novel where Casie and Arnold run away from home and their flight crashes in a jungle!

I took a burger and coffee again and started to write. I decided to write for an hour or two and maybe then sleep a little more, later!

After trying for almost half an hour, I finally was able to start writing and got engrossed in my work as a writer and completely forgot the world around.

I completed two long episodes and looked at my watch. Two and a half hours have passed. I shut down my laptop and stretched my body and immediately Van came back in my mind. I gave a quick glance to only find his seat empty again.

I took a cup of coffee and sipped looking out of the window at nothing but the dark sky! I was drinking and also planning my next chapter. I had a dilemma. Casie and Arnold have already found a cave to spend the night in. But will I make them sleep together or let them just sit and talk, cuddling to each other in front of a fire, they made with dry leaves and branches. Many parameters have to be thought carefully, considering the forest was wild and natural! I briefly asked Elina to move out and let me go to the washroom since my bladder was already about to burst!

Then I slowly and lazily walked through the aisle to the washroom imagining the dark and virgin forest where Casie and Arnold have crashed and was trying to find their way out, their night together and if there should be animal attacks included! After thinking for a while I got clarity!

Casie and Arnold will stay in a cave and make a fire with dry leaves and branches. Arnold will kill a wild rabbit with his knife and roast it to eat for dinner and taking out his sleeping bag he will make Casie sleep inside while he will keep awake, sitting with the knife in hand to look out for wild animals! Casie will snuggle up into him while he will caress her hair and admire her sharp features the whole night!

“Yes! That should be it!” I jumped happily, finally have been able to imagine the scene clearly and now I will just have to jot it down and then maybe I will write it a bit later.

“Ooops! I am so sorry Mr…I was a little lost..” I have spilled my coffee on the white T-shirt, right on the man’s chest! Thank God the coffee was warm but not that hot. I quickly rubbed the spot on his chest and apologised, but as I looked up at his face, I was shocked and stunned. I froze!

My heart stopped beating! My lungs forgot breathe and my brain forgot to work, as he held my wrist with which I was cleaning the spot tightly, looking deep into my eyes! And I did what I was not supposed to!

I stood on my toes holding his chest with one hand which he held as well and his shoulder with the other hand, as support and pressed my lips on his broad and rough lips. It happened for a second or two. Please readers, don’t ask me how! Because I don’t know myself! My body betrayed my civility and reacted in this crazy way!

Craziest part was that VAN didn’t even resist! Not that he pulled me in for a hot kiss, like a hero does in most of the stories but he didn’t even resist.

As I realised my childish act, I quickly pulled away! I felt such embarrassment that I mumbled a last ‘Sorry’ and got inside the washroom. Shutting the door quickly, I stood catching my breath which was short and brisk while resting my back on the door.

I couldn’t believe I just did that! I mean no one will believe! Did that really happen? Did I really kiss VAN! I pinched myself hard and apart from feeling the pain, I also saw a red bruise form immediately.

I took out my mobile from my pocket and clicked a picture of the bruise! It will remain as a proof that this is reality and not a dream. I blushed, shied, giggled and breathed heavily standing alone for how long I don’t know. A knock on the door brought me back from my state of liberation and continuous blushing!

“Yes. Yes. One moment please.” I said and emptied my bladder which was cursing my heart at that moment and opening the door slightly, I peeped out to see a young lady giving me an annoying look. Seeing no danger, I came out of the washroom. I walked back to my seat with my head completely bowed down, not even trying to look at anyone! And not at all at Van!

Once I reached my seat, Elina gave me space to cross her seat and take my window seat. My cheeks were flushed and my blood was pumping fast. I sat quietly, trembling a little, imaging the moment again and again.

“What happened to you suddenly?” Elina bent to look at my face but I had turned my face away at the window.

“Hello! What’s wrong?” She asked me again with a little concern and forcefully turning my face at her, she looked into my eyes which were down, shyly.

I was embarrassed at what I did but excited at the same time!

Elina’s voice came again as she now jerked me holding my left arm, “What happened to you?”

“My first Kiss..” I spat that spontaneously and her eyes and mouth opened wide and I am sure she thought that I have lost my mind and have gone crazy!

“What!” She exclaimed! “How? Who? What are you talking Kiara? Are you talking about your novel?”

I shook my head and then suddenly hugging her like a shied kid, I whispered into her ears shyly,

“I kissed my Love! My Van!”… “Elina! I kissed Van in front of the washroom!” I bit my lips and said again, “I felt his hot lips Elina! HE—GOT--- MY---FIRST---KISS!”
