"You know how to stop it, why don't you dare?" He asked.
"Stop sulking sweetie i can see the sulk." He said,
"Where is my ice cream?" I said.
He laughed.
I really can't find excuse. This is his last night with me.
The dorm master rminded us when we reavjed the lobby.
"Okay, what about we hit a movie tomorrow and have some ice cream." He said.
I turned and he is too close. I hugged him back.
Then i cried.
He caressed my hair.
"It will be okay sweetheart. You made it 5 days." He said.
"May be because i know i will see you at night. Maybe because i know somehow you will watch me sleep and wake me up in the morning." I really cannot lie to him.
He just patted my shoulder.
I am crying.6
"I promised i will be there every litle step of the way. And i am here Dome. I will always be there." He said.
I am too selfish.
He also have a life now responsibility is on his shoulder and i am old enough to be ln my own.
"I am sorry to drag yoj i this. I am sorry you have a weak best friend." I said.
He laughed.
"Yoj are not weak, don't you knkw your charm?" He said.

"Good night babe" i said and closed my eyes.
He lifted my face.
"Say it again."

He sighed and let go of my chin. I snuggled in his neck.
