Anu And Her First Love

I sat on the sofa and Arjun wasn't too away from me he was sitting a little close to me than ever, to be honest. I like the way he was sitting with me comfortably. And for some reason, I felt comfortable with him too. I know I'd get comfortable after one long conversation with people but it was different from the very beginning. Initial periods I wasn't sure about my feelings but later I was getting to know him better.

I smiled.

He asked me to spell the movie because he was still having no idea how to pronounce it.

I was watching the movie and he was trying to keep up with the movie and the subtitles at the same time. It was getting colder and colder and I was trying not to shiver. But at some point, I couldn't control myself. The candle lights were not lit because it will disturb the movie that was running on the white screen. I started shivering; I didn't rub my hands or let out any growling sound as heroines do in movies. I was just sitting uncomfortably until he undoes his coat and covered me with it. His coat smelled chocolate. He put his arm around me and his face was now an inch away from me. My breath was uneven.

"You used to watch this movie a lot?" he said.

"Yes," I said.

"May I ask why you love this movie?"

"Because of the name of this movie?" I said as he gave me that 'Real' look.

"What's that mean?"

"I don't know how to translate properly but I'll try." He looks curious. "Everywhere love. Or. Love is everywhere. Do you know why I truly love this movie? Because if you loved someone truly even if they don't know about that, you'll wait for them and they'll come for you." I paused to look at his blue eye which was dazzling like a blue star in the nights. "Love is in the roses as well as in the thorns," I said I was proud that I started trying poetry.

"Yes, but it draws blood from us, don't you think? Why you say that?"

in my mind around 24/7. I know I was going to regret that but he didn't say or look away from the movie screen that we were watching. I couldn't say correctly that he was watching a movie or thinking about what he has

"Anu, look," I turned my face to look at his blue eyes. "We have to take things slow. I can't say that I love you... yet. But I can say I... like you. We better wait and watch how this story ends." He grinned. And then he kissed me on my forehead. I closed my eyes as I was feeling his lips on my forehead. "My first kiss," I whispered in my mind until I realized that

ashamed why he said that. This is my first kiss. I'd never kissed anyone before not even in my dreams,
