Misty night..
“so….” I dragged myself into a sitting position and looked up at the dark night passing away in silent.
“Yeah.. I am leaving. I’ve got a transfer.” He said.
I felt a pang in my chest. I looked down to find him with his eyes closed and hands behind his head.
“Well…good for you” I said.
Hearing this his eyes popped open.
“That’s it ?” He asked plopping himself on his elbows.
I shrugged and continued looking at the bright shinning moon playing peak a boo among the misty clouds.
Soon I felt him shuffling besides me and before I knew it he wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. My body stiffened but soon I let myself relax against him.
“Pack your bags and come with me” He said more like whispered.
I chuckled. “If only it was this easy. You know how important it is for me to stay here”
We both fell silent. The tension between us hanging in the air. I wanted to say many things but my mind was still processing the fact that within few days he won’t be here with me.
“We are not breaking up.” He said firmly.
This involuntarily brought a smile on my face and made my heart flutter. I moved my hands to rest them on his large ones and started tracing patterns mindlessly. A habit I developed over the time of being with him.
“I am scared.” I admitted.
“What if we become one of those couple that break up due to the distance. What if we loose the spark. What if I am not patient enough. Who’ll handle my moodswings. Who is gonna lend a shoulder to lean on after a tiring day along with pep talk.”
“Is this your way of saying you’ll miss me ?”, Amusement clear in his voice.
“Seriously ! Is that what you have to say after my rant” I huffed.
He let out a laugh and said “I can’t promise you that we won’t be one of those who break up due to long distance. If we ever reach that stage I know we’ll take that decision mutually. We might loose some spark but just so you know you have the same affect on me that you had 3 years ago. I know you aren’t a patient one but I’ll make sure to meet both our ends. As for the shoulder issue I won’t be physically there but emotionally and mentally I’ll try my best to be there for you.” He breathed out.
I opened my mouth, “I am not done yet” He spoke.
“I know for the past few months I haven’t given much into this relationship. I realized I am not doing enough and if this continues I might loose you... I can’t afford that. It’s time for me to reach out to you with my best efforts. I’ll try my best…”, He finished.
Tears rolled down my face and I wiped them away as fast I can.
“Shit. Did I say something wrong ?” He asked in a panicked tone and I could feel him getting tensed behind my back. I turned myself in his hold and wrapped my arms around his neck.
“You didn’t say anything wrong.” I said shaking my head little. “I didn’t expect you to say something like that.”
He pecked my forehead. I could feel his smile.
“Well.. get ready cause I’m going to sweep you off your feet once again.” He laughed out.
“Bring it on !” I chuckled.
