Epiphany

LATER THAT WEEK

It's been a tough time. Both for me and him. But we sorted it out I guess. As for us, we planned on taking our relationship further. He asked me on a date. I was super excited about it. After such a tough week, we were finally getting somewhere. I'm nervous. No, not about the date. It's about the dress ffs. I just didn't know which one to choose. I tried on a floral mini-dress. But I ended up looking like a model giving pose for a perfume ad. I had to choose something. I decided to make it simple. I wore a black bodycon dress with my high heel boots. I wasn't sure if I looked good. But I felt good. And that's all that matters. I took a cab. It was this fancy restaurant. It was around 6 miles away from my house. He was standing there. Right at the entrance. I got off the cab. He stood there. Just looking at me. His eyes were glancing right at me without a break. He held my hand. Took me to the exquisite table he booked for us. It was elegant. He looked hot that night not gonna lie. He wore a satin black shirt with black pants. He looked stunning. He never really tries hard to look good. He looks perfect without much effort, always. Be it a sweatpant or formal, he looks hot in almost every outfit. He was like "Hey Georgia". And I was like "Hiiii". He asked me how I'd been doing. And I said, "I'm doing just as fine". But I didn't ask him back cuz I thought that will remind him about Akash. We were talking about many things. And all of a sudden slow music started playing. And almost all of the couples in there were slow dancing. He took my hand and asked me if I wanted to dance. I was like "Of course". He held me by my waist. And we started dancing slowly. We were looking into each other's eyes. Things around me didn't matter anymore. All I could see was him, holding me tightly and saying "I would rather die than let you go off me". I smiled. No eyes could ever anchor me like this. No hands could ever make me feel loved like this. It was him. Only he could do that. He knew exactly how to love me. He then kissed me. Like a droplet of water on a rose petal. It was soft. I didn't want anything more in my life. All I wanted was him. And we made a promise that no matter what happens we'll never let go of each other. And that was it. It was everything. I couldn't feel any more grateful for living. He was everything to me. I will never let go of him, not in this eternity.
