Forgetting The Ex

It Was Fine

I find my gaze drawn to his lips, finding them inviting for some reason.

The moment breaks when Nikhil clears his throat, moving away.

"Sandy,I-"

I'm relieved when his mobile rings, sighing.

He sees the caller ID, clenching his jaw."I'll see you later",he says, leaving me alone.

I sat there, puzzled about why I wanted him to do something,and most importantly why I felt disappointed when he pulled away.

Bad idea Sandy. Bad idea. I scold myself, forgetting about Nikhil for the time being as I busy myself with my work.

"Uggh, I'm not getting it."

"It's very easy Sandy",Nikhil teases, whistling again.

"Oh please. Wait for a few minutes. I'll whistle better than you",I place my thumb and index finger between my lips and blow air.

We're sitting on the stairs, chilling at the basketball ground of our college.

"How long are these people going to take?",I whine,"I'm hungry."

"They just left ten minutes back, Sandy", Nikhil deadpans, referring to Anshu and Avyukth.

"Whatever",I try whistling again.

I'm so going to do it and then rub it in his face.

"It's not so hard Sandy", Nikhil grins,"Here,place your elbow almost parallel to the ground level and blow air through your fingers",he demonstrates,placing a hand on my forearm.

I try to play it off, concentrating on his words when I feel his breath on my neck.I try my best to breath normally, trying to be casual.

But there's only so much I can do when Nikhil grabs the back of neck, pressing his lips to mine.

My mind goes blank as I try to fathom what's going on,unable to respond.

Approximately 0.01 seconds later,my hands hook around his neck,moving my lips against his.

I strangled moan escapes my lips when Nikhil gently nibbles on my lower lip,opening my mouth.

I feel a warm gush course my body when his tongue meets mine, gently stroking against each other at a leisure pace. A whimper escapes my lips when Nikhil presses himself harder against me,one hand cupping my head and the other stroking the skin of my neck.

I release a shaky breath,not getting any time to decipher things when I feel soft kisses peppered across my jaw,along my mouth. I shut my eyes when another wet kiss lands on my lips,my hold on his shirt tightening.

Our eyes snap open, looking at each other with wide eyed when footsteps approach us,as we distance from each other.

"Sandy,I -"

"Hey Anshu",my voice is high pitched.

My best friend is startled at my wish,glancing at me and Nikhil suspiciously.

I want to kick myself when a slow grin spreads across her face.

"Avyukth",she turns to her boyfriend,"I forgot to get KitKat. Come with me", she pulls her boyfriend's hand.

Nikhil sighs,"Sandy. Listen to-"

"Anshu",I jump to my best friend,"I remembered something. Wait. I'm coming with you too. Bye Nikhil",I say, hurriedly walking away, refusing to look back.

"East or West?Anshu",I ask when we're back to my room.

"What?"
