Victor murmured 'Happy Birthday Misha' as he fed me a small piece of cake. Wait! Why was he sounding so husky all of a sudden? Stop it! As usual, I was imagining things. I shook my head as I sliced a piece of cake with cherry and tried to feed him. But the icing was soft, and the cake began to slip away from my fingers. Victor grabbed my hand...(Oh my! I will remember this day forever!)... Closed his mouth around the cake and my fingers! And a hot rush which started somewhere in my core began to spread inside with lightning speed and I felt my cheeks burn. His mouth was so warm and his lips, they were everything I imagined them to be, and more. My lips parted as I watched him close his eyes and lick my fingers. There was something so sensual and possessive about it that I began to wonder the same thing all over again. Does Mr Popular and youngest pilot from his academy, Victor Matthews finally got a clue that I have been secretly in love with him all these years?
View MoreThe awkward silence didn't last long. And we both started talking at the same time. "You don't have to come." "I won't come if you don't want me to..." We both smiled and but Vic came forward and stood next to me. His gaze... it was the same way he looked when the lights got turned on. I cleared my throat nervously. "Please don't mind Anya. She is just... I mean she is bad at organising things. I will ask Dad to drop me at the movies. I know how much you hate this stuff and my friends." "Hate?? When did I ever say that I hate your friends Mo? How can I..." He fisted his hands and looked vaguely around as if he didn't know what to say or do. "You don't have to explain anything to me." I said. It is too late for all that now. Why doesn't he go away, so I can cry alone in my room, like I got accustomed to? As I tried my best to look calm, he ran both his hands through his hair, pushing it
My euphoria was over and Vic pulled away, as Anya coughed loudly behind him. I felt so embarrassed that I wanted a hole to open up right in front of me, so I can jump in and disappear! Why do I keep doing this to myself?? Why do I keep wanting something I would never get! I didn't have the time recover much as all my friends began to give me presents and wished me once again. Rahul and his girlfriend Pari were the last to wish me. "Thank you so much for coming." I shook Rahul's hand and smiled back and extended my other hand to Pari. "Pari, I am so glad you came. And I am sure you made Rahul come here, am I right?" I smiled with extra cheerfulness to cover up for my nerves. I still don't know why, but Rahul had a huge crush on me two years ago, which I completely ignored. After sometime, once he and Pari started going out together, he began to talk normally again, but I was never comfortable around him.
When did he come so close to me and why? And his eyes, which always had the mockery and mischievous look had something else! Or was I imagining that too! Aaargh! I cursed inwardly. "The cake is downstairs, let's go! But first, why don't you change into something... else?" he asked. "Why downstairs? It's just you and me who celebrate my birthday, every year, here in my room. Everything must be done is as per your wish isn't it, even if it is my birthday!! And I just follow your orders. You don't want even our parents to join us. So why this sudden change of location and formality? And I am not dressing up for you, of all the people!" I said in a rush but regretted it immediately. Why am I speaking like this? Even I didn't understand why I was so angry! Or perhaps I did, but didn't want to acknowledge it. The prospect of leaving him and not hear even his stupid sarcastic words had finally caught up with me. Nightmares a
11.45 pm, 30th July. The calendar alert on my iPad beeped as I lay on my bed, engrossed in my favourite Fanfiction on Harry Potter. Fifteen more minutes, and I will be Twenty One! What's the point? Just like every year, at 12 AM sharp, my childhood bestie cum neighbour Vic aka Victor will climb the ladder next to my bedroom and enter my room as if it was his own. He would then wish me and make me cut the same flavourless dairy free cake (I'm allergic to dairy) sprinkled with even more tasteless jokes, as he once again makes fun of everything about me. Vic "thinks" he got a great sense of humour. He just finished training as a Pilot, and as a twenty four year old, he was one of the youngest to graduate from the academy. So, his head and ego are always up in the air, which makes him think he is the best in everything he does. He thinks he is the best baker in the neighbourhood; so, he bakes my birthday cake and brings it
