real life

"2 months. That's too long." Timothée sighed, his hands rubbing the tiredness off of his face. The boy, that was sat in his trailer, always pondered on how he would start his conversations with Amara. He made sure he didn't mumble over his words, even if they were only just sending messages.

Ever since he met her last year, he found himself always looking at her social media pages, his thumb hovering over the 'send a message' tab. At the last second, he'd retract and shut his phone off, thinking that it would be pointless. 'We'd just be friends and that's great. But is that all I really want us to be?' he kept questioning, over and over again, for the past 12 months.

Unnoticed by Amara, Timmy spent that whole night mentally praying it would never end. He came to the award show with the sole purpose of supporting his colleagues who were nominated but when he met the lady dressed in a traditional beautiful red silk saree, he was immediately elated that he even got invited.

Amara was a joy to be with - she was kind and sweet, loud yet melodious when she let out her boisterous laugh, all because Timmy spilled wine over his dinner plate. She noted it as an accident, a clumsy mishap. But he knew it was because his hands were shivering and aching to hold hers, even for a fleeting moment, even if it was just a brush of their fingers, that he lost his grip on his glass.

The night never seemed to end. But all too soon, the time came for them to go their separate ways. Timothée didn't know what to say. He wanted to spend more time with her. He wanted to keep in contact with her. He wanted to stay with her. For a while, he thought he was being delirious. He had to mentally slap himself for reacting this way to his celebrity crush. He gave her the biggest hug and held on for a few seconds longer, lingering in the moment. He had to force himself to let go, kissed her hand and with one last pleading look to tell her "Tell me to stay." he whispered instead, "See you around, ma cherie."

Little did he know, that somewhere in San Fransisco, the 23-year old girl was staring up at the ceiling of her room. Whispering 5 little words.

"2 months. That's too long."
