Just a Glance of How We Love 4

Whenever I visited her, in the noon time we used to watch web-shows together, sitting on a pair of vintage wooden arm chairs, at her place. We hung out like that almost every week. I used to be more alive on that one particular day than the entire week. To be honest I was least interested in watching anything when she stayed beside. Of course she was so engrossed into the screen, Korean dramas were her "thing". 

I remember one such incident where I would push my chair back enough to disappear from her sight. I did that just to lean back totally and watch her from the side without her notice. I know how cutely she would get irritated when I don't watch the show with her. But how could I explain that observing her quietly was my favourite. I tried to learn every small detail about her like I was reading a book, so well if I just shut my eyes she happened to appear in high definition.

Sometimes I would sulk the way I was being ignored completely. Then I would get close enough to softly blow air over her ear till the hairs tucked behind flew and landed all over her forehead. I could sense a shiver ran through her. My mischief served two purposes at the same time. Her attention for the time being was mine and I don’t get scolded too. 

She simply turned and stared me in the eyes with a pause of Heartbeat.

She: “What?” (With a heavy breathe)

Me: “Nothing.” (With a pretentious innocent smile)

Her stare was intense. The synchronised pause of Heartbeat accompanied with an intense eye contact was enough to convey all the emotions. Maybe that’s what “My Heart skipped a beat” moment is called.

Thereafter she pulled my chair to the front again, made herself close. Grab my arm to hug it, lean over my shoulder to rest her head and focus on the screen again. All I could do is smile over my win-win situation, kiss her head and watch some K-drama for real.

 

This was Love for us.
