Oh god! We finally lay down to relax. We had escaped our work schedule. After a couple of beers and smokes, we relaxed down. ‘Are you sleepy?’ she broke the silence. I replied negative turning my gaze from the ceiling towards her; I rolled my hand on her waist and pulled her close. Our friendship was taking a new leap and with every passing second and we were accepting it with open arms. Within a very less span of time we grew so thick, so close to each other that anyone would misunderstand us as a couple in love. Last few days were very vital in getting us so close. Not only mentally but physically we were so comfortable with each other.

I quickly disagreed. ‘But is it the same that you say to her?’ she cleared the smoke from the question, eagerly expecting a reply. I shook my head and asked her permission, “Shall I prove it?” She nodded and I could see the twinkle in her eyes. This blue eyed fairy took me on a flashback of the entire last decade. The lightning of memories struck in my eyes and I leaned forward to place my lips on hers and set off on a quest...
