December Sunshine

My cell phone abruptly rang and I fumbled my hand around to find it. The cell made my bed vibrate, I was about to ignore it when something made me attend it. The voice on the other end was familiar. I could recognize it even after a zillion years though it had been just a year when I last spoke to her. She wanted to meet me. I couldn’t believe my ears. We had not spoken at all after I proposed her last November and she couldn’t find an acceptance to it. It was difficult to talk after that. Don’t know what makes her meet me now.

We met at this mall where she greeted me warmly. Like two old friends catching up, we started warming up with our whereabouts in the last year or so. She hadn’t seen a good movie in a long while and wanted to catch up on a rom-com. So there I was standing in the queue looking up for some nice movie. Luckily, the weekday promises you best seats at dirt cheap prices. I’m generally the quiet types at movie, totally involved in the story, replacing the hero and putting my current crush as heroine ;)

As the movie progressed, I felt a twitch in my palm. I saw her slowly pushing her palm on to mine, and then she held onto it. Her touch was amazing. For a moment I saw myself out of that hall and into some valley of flowers, just two of us and the tenderness of love, emotions and flowers. I didn’t react and let it be. After the interval, the touch was even more intimate and the feel much warmer.

“Though I’m really dumb at this, but I’m all ears”, I said.

“For what?” she asked

“Well, its quite suggestive and definitely leading me into this corner where I’m quite clear what it should be, but I will still give you the honor of expressing yourself”, I quipped.

“I guess, I will like to take it forward..”

“Take forward what?”

“Where we left”

I really had no clue to this riddle. What exactly she wanted to start, yeah a start, coz there was nothing that ended, to really take forward.

“I did like you but some how just couldn’t accept it for I had to deal with a lot of other stuff…” she said with her eyes finding her soul, buried deep in the ground.
“I realized over this time, that even those 2 line chats with you, would make me happy, and those funny antics of yours, always made me smile before I slept each day. I have missed all of that….  I don’t know if it’s right or not but I would like to give it a shot.

I couldn’t stop smiling. Crap, I really am a smiling damned villain, why can’t I just keep a straight face in a deep emotional situation like this.

“What?”

“What ….??”

“What are you smiling at?”

“I dunno, I mean I dunno how to react to it…I mean so are we dating each other now, I mean we are a couple now, I mean we have a future that I can look forward to…..”, crap, straight head dude, straight head.

“Lets meet in the evening at the “Palette Pal”, its kinda deserted and we can have a great space to converse”

“Ok!”, I didn’t know how to bid her a bye, should I shake hands, or kiss her, peck her cheeks, or just a hug… she made the better choice. She put her hands around me and made me walk till the road. Those 10 steps, you bet, were like a walk in the clouds. It was a journey I would never like to end. The softness of her palm, the tenderness of her fingers, and the warmth of that touch, it was all so mesmerizingly beautiful.

We met in the evening. Conversation kept flowing with the coffee and it really did for the first time. Smiles, chuckles, laughters, blushes, silences, stares and of course the conversation, everything happened on that table that evening. Time flew by and she had to leave. The same jeopardy mocked us again. How do we good bye? She didn’t help me this time. She started moving towards the road. I followed suit.

As I walked, I tried reading her thoughts, and they buzzed loud in my ears.

“why cant he kiss me?.....”
“he could have hugged me…”
“if not a hug, what bad was holding hands while walking….”

The rick stopped, and just when she was bout to board I pulled her towards me. My left hand ran up her waist, and I ran my right hand backwards from her forehead. I held her neck, twitched it a bit, her lips opened in anticipation….
I made a fang of my two fingers and massaged her spine down her back. Slowly and carefully, as I moved down, I pressed my fingers on her spine, that pushed her closer to me. Just when she was beginning to give it away, and her spine reached the tail bone, I moved my fingers away, before it became awkward for her.

I let her lose. She hurriedly sat in the rick and away she went. I was smiling and I knew she was smiling too.

Today the sun shined bright in my life...

P.S.: The Couple are blind, devoid of the sense of Vision, their other senses make it up for that loss.
Just in case you didn't get it while reading or watching the suggestive pictures. :)
