That Guy!

I was exhausted after the day's work and just wanted to relax for a while before heading to my apartment. I stopped the car at Heaven. The truth is I didn't feel like going to my place. Nothing but only walls are there to welcome me. If walls could talk, they would have had millions of words to describe about my loneliness. They see my solitary life every moment. They see how I try to console myself hugging the pillow during the nights. They see my tears whenever I look at the photo of my parents.

I ordered a beer and started thinking about all those good times. I was the only child and my parents brought me up centering all their love towards me. They didn't suspect when I didn't have a girlfriend. They didn't feel suspicious when I put wallpapers of Tom Cruise in my room. They didn't get the hint when I told them I didn't want to get married. I had determined to keep it as a secret till I find my other half. But fate had decided something else. The truth had to come out because I was forced to marry a girl that they searched for me. The whole world turned upside down that day. I was cursed and beaten and kicked out.

Tears again filled my eyes, but my thoughts were interrupted by a voice beside me. Seated next to me was a gorgeous hunk and the smell of his cologne took my breath away. He wore a tight t-shirt revealing his strong muscular hands. I could make out that he had a slightly hairy body. I didn't realize when he looked towards me and he knew what my eyes were up to. A sudden chill shot throughout my body. I didn't know what to do next. But he smiled and extended his hand for a handshake. I felt the heat shooting up inside me as I firmly gripped his strong hand. I looked into his sharp piercing brown eyes. Aah! I could just sink in them. And those beautiful lips! I wanted to kiss them forever!


After the intros, soon we were into talking stuff and I felt like I was in a trance. All my pains and worries seemed to vanish being with him. In my mind, there was something saying this could be it. Will this develop into something special? But isn't it all too soon to think about this? Or does love at first sight really exist? If this is what it feels like, then it surely does. If this is true, then the walls do not have to see my solitude any more. I don't have to console myself by hugging the pillow anymore. If this is true, then my lonely days are finally going to be over!!

Again my thoughts were interrupted by another voice, "Sorry the traffic held me up."

The next thing I saw was my guy getting up and kissing a beautiful lady.

He then looked at me, "Oh let me introduce you to my new friend."

I smiled and shook hands with her.

I didn't want to stay there any longer and excused myself saying that I was already late. I said bye to the couple and walked towards the car. Each footstep is now hard to take. My heart feels heavy. During the drive, I kept thinking how stupid I was to feel all that. On reaching my apartment, I turned the knob of the door and with a sigh, prepared for what is stored inside.
