Luis:

"Drive slow Luis!" Michael screamed.

I slowed down resisting the gut to punch him. 

"What happened to you?" Michael asked, hand on my shoulder. I pressed the brakes and took a deep breath as something didn't feel right. 

Maybe it was just a mere jealously but it was doing a lot of stuff to me. It might just be that typical need to be the best guy but it wasn't the entire explanation of my situation. 

I ran my hand through my hair feeling more frustrated and trying hard to forget about the girl I just met.  

"I think I like her!" I confessed with my eyes closed.

"Who? Jessy?" He asked.

I nodded.

"I really feel attracted towards her. There was something about her that attracted me, her innocence but maybe I got late. Someone else got her." I stated with my head low.

This was the 2nd time I got this kind strange premonition which I only got for Mia(my first girlfriend ). Jessy was just like Mia. Just like her in the way she got nervous seeing me half naked and the irresistible urge to take a glance at my chest. It was all the same. Mia was just that way and so was Jessy. Maybe that was the reason why I felt intrigued by Jessy. Maybe I still couldn't get over Mia. 

This was all getting too hard to focus on and my head burster with such thoughts. My conscience surrendered in giving me signals like 'don't think about it'. 

"Already? I mean you like her already? You just met her dude!" Michael chuckled making me glare angrily at the maniac. 

"Wait! Kate told me in the garden that Harry, that guy was Jessy's boyfriend and he broke up with her on her birthday. And she even said that Jessy will never ever trust Harry again." He said leaving the jokes for some other time and paused. 

"She hates him. So I think you stand a chance." He completed with a smirk. 

All the sadness vanished and I smiled. I was so happy even though knowing a normal person would feel bad for Jessy knowing what that guy did to her but my situation was different.

While reminiscing about Jessy's cute face, and idea decided to land in my head hence I let out my thoughts to my pal "Hey! Can you call Jessy and Kate for movies tomorrow night?" I asked eyebrow raised.

"Why me?" He asked sniggering. 

"Because dumbo! Kate is your Girlfriend not mine." I said laughing at the funny expressions by Michael that matched the face of a confused chimpanzee. 

"Yeah. I remember that so well." He stated.

"No no! I can call her if you want. Give me her number. I smirked teasing him.

"No! She's mine. Don't you dare flirt with her." He said angrily showing off his possessiveness.

"Ok bro I'm not interested." I said holding my laughter. 

Silence engulfed the atmosphere while my head flooded with thoughts about Jessy and I. Sometimes we all get this kind of premonition about looking got with someone as in fitting with someone and for me that time came. We all go through this but only some people accept the feeling while others ignore in hope of finding someone better. 

We reached home and took dinner and went to our bedrooms as all the energy was drained and all left in us was lathergy. 

Jordan told us during dinner that he's got a girlfriend too only I was left with no partner to share my true feelings to. 

My head beeped with thoughts of the cute short girl I met today. I could't sleep. Her confused face was so beautiful. I wonder how she would look like when she would  smile. I didn't see her smiling. But I think I stand a chance like Michael said. You never know what is good and what is not until we don't take a risk. Sometimes risk in times of confusion gives the best results. 

I was ready to take the risk and I was determined to make it work. I wanted her. 

                               Jessy:

"Harry, please I told you before. I really don't want this." I told Harry while moving away from him. Kate walked quietly ahead of me knowing I could deal it myself. And wanted to deal alone.

The breaking of my voice made it evident that I was going to lose control over my emotions any moment. But my patient disposition gave some strength to me to stay calm and not cry and show that I was still weak inside. The wounds he left still resided in my heart. 

"Please Jess, I really love you." He followed as I and Kate hurried towards the hotel. Somehow he was starting to get on my nerves. And it was getting more and more hard to control my emotions. 

He grabbed my wrist. I turned around ready to let out everything that was restricted to flow out.

"Please Jess. Just one chance!" He said with pleading eyes. I glared at him with tears blurring my vision. 

"You hurted me on my birthday Harry and you want a chance? You know birthdays are happy days and you ruined that day." Tears were pouring down my cheeks like rain as his face reminded me of how much I was into him and touching his cheeks and kissing him as I pleased. But now more than good memories, bad nightmares ran in my head every time I looked at him. 

I could feel my cheeks burning. I was really enraged and sad. And there's no worse combination than this to explain the excruciating pain that ran inside. 

"Please! Don't follow me again." I shouted and left with my breathing irregular and my feelings overwhelmed. 

He didn't follow. I turned behind and saw him standing with his head down. But no mercy or love came into my head seeing him like that. Only hatred and endless mendacity. I didn't want him neither did I want to talk to him. Some wounds are not fixable. And the one he gave me was one of those wounds.

I wiped my tears and went straight to Kate who was standing on the staircase probably waiting for me. She nodded at me signalling about talking to her about it once I feel like talking. We motioned towards our room but it wasn't that simple as we thought. Miss Rose was standing just in front of our room.

"We are so sorry Miss! Actually taxi wasn't available so we had walked. Our legs are paining badly please let us go." Kate said with a sad face and rubbing her legs. 

This girl was such a good lier. I could never expert this tricky art like her.

"Next time, no delays." Miss Ross stated with a stern face and went to her room.

Kate opened the door and threw her heels off. I did the same as the pain became unbearable. I changed and threw my body on the bed without any other delay. 

The first thing that came into my head while lying on the bed was Luis's strange behaviour. Although I got some hints but I resisted to believe that. 

I couldn't let anything or anyone hurt me. It would only make me weaker and I didn't want that. 

I couldn't let my past repeat itself.

Harry was more than rude to leave me like that. I couldn't trust that person again who hurted me once.

I still remember the day I started liking him more and more and spending time with him. It was easy because we were both the same as in being the nerds, not so popular in high school neither we desired so. He was a good looking and normal teenager just like I was. 

It was 1st day of last year at school.

I accidently dropped my books and he came to help me. I know that scene is really old but the felling was brand new. The way he looked at me, made me believe old love was something bizarre which nowadays is said be to boring by some.

The way his beautiful blue eyes stared deep in my eyes was like paradise. The eye contact we made while collecting books was everything to me. 

Then we became friends. He usually accompanied me while going towards the classes and we even sat together in the classroom. Everything was going good and again normal.

Then on Valentine's Day he asked me out. And I said yes. I didn't know that Harry would hurt me one day.

I wish I knew ,then all these painful memories would've never disturbed me.

With him ,every moment was remarkable and everyday was alluring. But happiness and sadness should be balanced.

Tia, Harry's friend's sister came in his life. She was beautiful. And because of her he hurted me. I hate that day. And the worst part was he wasn't aware it was my birthday. It's strange! Even though being together for 8 months he didn't know my birth date.

Our first date was so remarkable. 

We were sitting by the water and I rested my head on his shoulder and that's when we kissed for the first time.

But now, these appeared to be just empty memories. And memories hardly becomes reality again. In my case, those memories would never become reality again.

      

                               Jordan:

"Hey!" I said cheerfully as my girlfriend answered the call. I've been waiting from an hour for her to return from shopping and talk to me. But she took two hours to buy God knows what that took her so much time to come back.

"Hey baby!" She rejoiced giving me her wide eyes gaze.

"How are you babe?" I asked smiling at her cute little face and beautiful green eyes. 

"Super Duper!" She said enthusiastically and giggled.

"Ok!" I replied not able to look away from her shiny glowing face. 

"What about you?" She asked slyly.

"I'm good now." I replied in a flirty way and winked.

"Baby boy!" She winked back and I laughed.

"Babe, when will we meet? You are not at all aware of my condition. I really want to meet you." I confessed sadly knowing how hard it is to be in a long distance relationship. 

It has been just one week of our relationship and I was already into her. Her behaviour, her smile, her beautiful eyes and everything. She lives in New York but we haven't met or crossed paths ever. Sometimes long distance relationships can be a little fidly and difficult but it's something beautiful and inscrutable on its own. 

"Same here honey." She said dolefully.

"Leave it babe! Let's talk about something funny. You know today I fell on a girl. She was pretty." I concluded with a smirk. 

"Ah!ah!" She said teasing me and I laughed.

"Not that beautiful like you pumpkin." I sniggered.

"Ok! Continue. Did she slap you tightly and you got her fingerprints on your face?" She joked.

"No!not! I said sorry, I was in a hurry and she just said 'It's alright '." I finished.

"Oh! If I were at her place-" She took a long pause.

"I would've slapped." She said and we laughed.

"I really wanna go on a beach and make a heart with you." She said showing off her childish persona.

"I promise I will bring a camera. We will capture that memory." I said. 

"Ok! Bye I gotta go Jordan." She said. 

"Bye Bobby." I said and kept the phone aside.

One thing that I've heard since years is that a perfect relationship is when one of them is mature and the other one childish and I've even believed and relied on it. My previous girlfriends were more of those high school bad girls kind. But Bobby was somewhat different than any of those I met. She behaves high spirited and frank and doesn't care about the boundaries the society set. She makes me feel free and happy. 

Indeed true is the fact that we just need a good company to live a great life. I found my good company. Bobby.
