I Wish... (Inspired From A True Story)

Time to Face It - Part 2

I pulled him closer and held his face in my palms. My lips touched his and his eyes flickered open wide. I closed my eyes and all I could feel was him trying to pull away. I held him tighter from his shoulder and hugged him still kissing. The feeling was unknown to me. It was my first kiss. I felt his body loosen up a little and then he held me from back. He hugged me even more tightly than I had. He started kissing me back. Our lips moved sloppily against each other. I don't know if I am doing it properly. But it is feeling good somehow. I can feel the wetness lingering on my lips and he is into it too. It is a different feeling. I am feeling light headed. And I want to keep going. And so I did. I am kissing my best friend. It's so overwhelming for me to think about anything else. His hands holding me sternly is what is keeping me upright. Or else I would have fallen flat on the ground.

It went on for a long time before we parted and then he pulled me up high and got me down with one more kiss on my forehead. I looked in his eyes and saw him smiling the way my Ohm always smiles looking at me. He started grinning widely and I couldn't help but smile back flustered.

"Can we please talk now?" I asked panting from all the kissing and swirling.

"Of course," he said and held my hand so easily like he has been holding it like this forever. But for me it was very new. We walked in the café realizing everyone staring at us in disbelief.

I was concerned about the surroundings especially since we both are guys but Ohm was just looking at me, smiling. I was feeling uncomfortable about everything that happened. I kissed my best friend before getting into a relationship with him. He did not release my hand and I was still struggling for words. The waiter came to our table.

"Sir your cappuccino." He turned towards Ohm hesitantly "Sir, now would you like to have something?" he asked with his eyes down at the table.

Ohm looked at him and then at me, and we both broke into laughter. The waiter too started laughing. It was like before when we both used to laugh uncontrollably on stupid jokes. People around were still unhappy. But I was not embarrassed anymore. I was happy to see my Ohmi back in front of me. Ohm ordered an espresso.

"Hey", he called out and as soon as I looked at him, he started laughing.

I smiled. "Are you still laughing at what the waiter said?"

"I am laughing at what you did." He replied laughing.

"Oh" I could not manage anything else.

"Tell me," he said and looked at me. "Tell me why did you stop me like that? Though I am not complaining."

I paused for a while looking at my cappuccino and then looked at him. He was patiently waiting for my response. I was feeling a thousand things together at that moment but I did not know how to put it. I thought for a while and then saw the waiter coming in our direction.

"Your coffee is here, Sir!" The waiter smiled. Ohm smelled the aroma and he seemed pleased. He gave me a smile. This silence between us was as comfortable as it has always been. But I knew he was waiting for his answer. He knows it all but he wants to listen from me.

"Ohm..." I started putting my thoughts to words. He was all ears with a brief smile. "I was too sad when you were not picking up my calls. Do you remember, when once I broke your toy chopper and you were mad at me? You did not talk to me that day. But it was just one day. This time you did not talk to me for so many days. I realized... I already knew it but I understood how much I need you. I thought maybe I need you as a friend, but then what if it's only because I never even tried to see you the other way? What if I regret not giving us a chance when I see you with somebody else? Maybe we are better as friends but maybe we are best together the other way around. I mean... Are you getting me?"

He was grinning now. Confused I looked at him. He took a sip of his coffee and gestured me to have mine. I held my cup but was still looking at him. Am I making sense? Why is he not saying anything?

He slowly brushed my disheveled hair. My face flushed. I started smiling. He held my face and said "Non, I love you!"

I could now feel a thousand butterflies in my stomach. My body temperature must have increased too. In that moment, I felt so happy that he was my friend. It's so easy to talk to him. Unlike me, he has a sorted mind. He loves me and I love him too. But now I don't know how to express it because of my stupid tangled mind. I was staring blankly at him. He now shook me a little from my shoulder.

"Hey you ok?" he asked.

"Uh... yes. Thank you!"

"What?"

"Thank you..." I smiled and held his hand in mine, "for being you!"

"Oh! You are most welcome!"

And we laughed.
