now it feels like eternity.
sonali.
i had seen her for the first time, at the mess.....well, in a mess...
it was 2 pm, and since that's when lunch break ends, everyone was in a rush. i had just had my
food and was washing my hands when i saw a hottie in a red salwar, washing her hands right next
to me.
she was hot.
oh whatta rack man.
anyway, continuing the story
I washed my hands, and as i was going outside, i felt someone stepping on my foot. I turned around, to see a girl holding a half filled food tray. most of which, was on her jeans now. she looked around, but nobody stopped to help. everyone was late. thats life. deal with it. that's when i got the sms that changed my life that day :
'dude. no need to come. class cancelled, got all present'
i looked up from my phone to see that she was still squatting on the floor, trying to clean up. I went up next to her, picked up her tray, put it in the washing tray, without a single attempt to speak to her. i came back to see her flick off pieces of gobhi masala with her index finger
you should play carrom, i said, as i handed her a tissue paper to wipe the gravy off her.
are you an item girl? you have loads of 'masala' (mental jump : woohoo! I'm on fire)
she laughed. a clear sonorous laugh.
no, Im sonali, she said
and late for class? i added
no use now.....i'l be thrown out anyway, so..... she said
same here, I lied
can i treat you with coffee?
that's how it started
we talked that whole day.
and the next.
and the next.
how come you dont have a boyfriend? i finally ventured
because Im into girls she winked and laughed (oooooh that laugh.....)
what a coincidence, Im a lesbian too, i said
she laughed (naaice.) but dont you need to be a girl to be that?
it's not the gender, it's the state of mind, i replied
you're funny, she said
thanks, I smiled
by the way, that masala joke you made, was so lame, but i couldnt help but laugh, she winked
that night
(is she into me? is she into me? is she into me? is she into me? Im hungry. do i have chips? do I have chips? do i have chips?)
i told my best friend Asha about her
tell me tell me tell me tell me, is she into me? i asked
lemme look at her myself first...... she finally agreed, hesitant
that day, asha 'coincidentally' came to where we were talking, next to a fountain. they hit it off pretty well. and soon were talking like bff's (how i hate that word)
she's the most awesome girl Ive met, sonali texted later
i love her, texted asha
so, what's your expert advice? I asked, later
well, I can tell you she isnt dating any guy right now, at the least.... asha said
oh asha, if you werent my best friend, I'd be dating you , I kidded
yeah right, she picked her nose while saying that
(woop woooop wooooooooooooooop)
its funny how if you get even a slightly positive answer, you start jumping out of your pants
i feel different, with you.........so comfortable.....like i can open up, and Ive never felt that with any guy...only with girls..... she said
open up then, i joked with a hand signal which is too graphic to write it down (kids these days have internet)
she laughed (so awesome.....) Im serious
awww....... cho cute, I mimicked her
Im not cute! I feel like Im a guy trapped in a girl's body! Im so different that what you think i am! she said
okay okay, cool down dude, I panicked
anyway, like i was saying, she continued as if nothing had happened a few seconds before
(present day)
morning thoughts
(i should ask her out, ask her out, ask her out)
thoughts in class
(i should ask her out, ask her out, ask her out)
thoughts at lunch (she wasnt there.....she had gone out shopping with asha)
(i should ask her out, ask her out, ask her out)
thoughts in the evening
(i should ask her out, ask her out, ask her out)
meet me at 9, next to the fountain, we'll have dinner after that, I messaged
okay :) my treat, i have good news, she replied
lol, did you finally get a dress to wear after window shopping in 20 shops? ;) I texted
you'd be surprised ;) meet you there! she replied
thoughts at 8 30
(flowers, flowers, flowers, fuck i forgot)
i ran off in the opposite direction of the fountain, towards a place where no one has seen me in or around.....the flower shop, it's there that i saw at the edge of the road, behind a tree......
it all came back to me
'Im into girls'
'she's the most awesome girl Ive met'
'i love her'
'she isnt dating any guy right now, at the least'
'Ive never felt that with any guy...only with girls'
'Im so different that what you think i am!'
i remembered the glint in their eyes when we all sat together next to the fountain....
i could see the same glint in their eyes now, while they caressed each other's bodies, i imagined a fire in the air around them
i turned around and went back to my room
learn from my failure : next time a girl says she's into girls, ask : seriously?!!!
okay. that was fictional.
but you got all turned on, eh?
here, cool down with the cool band that i just discovered
(thanks for the link Saima!)
