Chapter - 12 An Indirect Kiss

I take the bottle from your hand, I look at it first, it still has a good amount of beer left.

"You left so much, you are really a slow drinker" I said

"Shut up and drink"

Wait a minute, if I drink from your bottle then it will be a kiss, indirect one, whaaat? I want to kiss you on your lips, not like this Luciana.

"What happened?" You ask, looking at me, I am still thinking about what to do.

"Just drink"

"Yeah, yeah" I said, I take the bottle closer to my lips, it's in front of my lips, you have touched your lips in this, and now I am going to touch it, I am going to kiss you, I think I should enjoy it, yes, I should enjoy it, I started drinking, I somehow feel good, am I tasting your lips, because it tastes sweet, it tastes really good, I don't know, I think it's just in my imagination, I drank all, the beer you left. You are smiling at me.

"Today was a day to remember"

"Yeah, I know"

"It's getting very late"

"Yes it's 12:30 am"

"I should go home now"

"Yeah I should too"

"See ya at the party tomorrow" you said

"Yeah I will come" I said, smiling back at you

"Bye" you said, I waved my hand at you, you turn backwards and started going, your back is in front of me, your hairs still are beautiful, your hairs touching your back, I love you, Luciana, you are slowly going far away from me, I am still looking at you, you turn over and smile at me, the cute smile, but there is sadness in your smile too, I can't take the risk, I have to stay with you, I have to find a way out somehow.

"Hey wait" I shout, I run closer to you

"I have something to ask" I said, you are sad, you have some tears in your eyes, you are trying to hide your face, but I have noticed it, Luci.

"Are you crying?" I ask

"Uh, no, no it's just…. I have something in my eyes" you said, you are shuddering, you are trying to lie but you are not good at it, I know you were thinking about him, but you guys had only a two weeks relationship, why do you even care about him so much?

"I know, you were crying"

"Yeah I was crying, so what?" You said, annoying and sad.

"Look, I know nothing about you and him so I can't say anything, but it's been only two weeks since you guys were dating so why are you sad?"

"We were dating for 3 years"

Whaaaat? How? You are new here, how can it be possible? Did you guys know each other? I really wanna ask you this but I think you are in no mood of being questioning, so I should drop it

"It's okay but you gotta move on, it will be good for you"

"I know but I can't"

I nod my head in sadness, looking at you, your tears, I am gonna kill him for the things he did, he made you cry Luci, it's enough now.

"So what were you saying?" You ask, wiping your tears from your face.

"You haven't given me your number, so I was about to ask you"

"Oh yeah sorry, give me your phone, I will dial it up for you"

"Yeah, thank you" I said and give you my phone, I can hear the sound of dialling the number, you hand over my phone to me

"I should go now"

"Yup, take care of yourself" you started walking again, I have to follow you and go to your house, I can't take the risk, I have to look over you, you have suicidal thoughts I know, so I will protect you, I can sleep outside of your house, but I will sleep when you sleep, there's a garden outside of your house, I can sleep there I think, you are in front of me, I am a bit far away from you so you can't notice me, your head is down, you are still sad for him. Wait, why did you stop? Have you noticed me? You are turning behind, I should hide, I hid behind the wall, near the corner of the turn, I know you can't see me now, it's good you have started walking again, look there's your beautiful house, you are going inside, you are alone once again, why? Your room is downstairs, that's good for me, I can see your room through the window, your room is as gorgeous as your house, the wall is full of photos of nature, you jump into your bed, you are still sad, it's okay, I know it's hard for you but you will move on I am sure, you stood up, you are going to change your clothes, I should look away, don't worry Luci, I have turned my eyes away, you can change now, it looks like you have changed yourself, oh damn, you are coming towards me, I should hide, I hid down, you are looking outside through your window, what are you doing Luciana? No, no don't do this, you are closing your curtain and window, great you have closed the window and went inside, now what would I do? What if you commit suicide, I really have to do something, what should I do? C'mon think Francis, great, I have got an idea, I am calling you Luci, c'mon pick up the phone, great you picked up

"Hello?" You said

"Hello, it's me, Francis"

"Yeah what happened?" You said it looks like you were not trying to do anything to harm yourself but still I have to take care of you.

"Actually I am in trouble" I said

"You wanna tell?"

"Yeah, my sister went out and she locked the door, I don't know when she will come back"

"Yeah so?"

"And she hasn't picked her phone so I was wondering that since I have no friends besides you so can I come to your house for the rest of the night?"

"Umm yeah you can" you said

"Okay great thank you" I hung up the phone, I should wait for like 10 minutes and then I will knock on your gate, I have seen a sofa in your room, I can sleep on it Luci, don't worry, it's been 10 minutes, I should go and knock now, I am going towards your gate, why am I nervous? I knock on your gate a few times.

"Coming" a cute voice, you open the gate.

"Come in" you said. I enter your house.

"Follow me, here's my room" you said. I am following you, although I know where your room is.

"Now you are going to enter the heaven" you said with excitement, you open the gate

"Tada" you said with both your hand up like a magician

"I know it's not good but it's in development"

"It's good" I said looking at your face.

"I can sleep on this sofa" I said

"Okay, you need a pillow and stuff?"

"Yes I guess"

You give me a pillow and a blanket for the night, I am getting ready to sleep, you went to the switch

"Okay so I am going to turn off the lights, you ready to sleep?" You ask

"Yes" I said, you turned off the lights and jumped on your bed.

"Good night" you said

"Good Night" I reply, 10 minutes have passed. I know you are not asleep, your sofa, it's too old, it's giving me back pain but I can absorb the pain for you, Luci, it's not comfortable at all, I am just moving left and right.

"What happened?" You ask

"Uh, your sofa it's too old"

"I know, it's the old woman's one"

"Old woman?"

"Yeah, the previous house owner"

"It was free with the house, we will change this soon"

"Yeah you guys should"

"I know it's not comfortable" you said

"Yeah but I can sleep on the floor" I replied

"Yeah but if you want to then you can come to the bed and sleep here"
