You meet your friend who introduces you to his outrageously beautiful friend. You exchange pleasantries and part company.
13 Days Ago
You bump into your friend's friend at the bus stop. You engage in loose talk, exchange contacts and promise to keep in touch.
11 Days Ago
You receive a text from her first thing in the morning wishing you a splendid day. You smile all the way to work.
10 Days Ago
You give her a call though you really have nothing to talk about.
9 Days Ago
You engage in text craze with her till sunset. She tells you about her frustrations in her relationship; the selfish guy with a high affinity for everything in a skirt.
8 Days Ago
The text craze continues. Now more than ever the thumbs are sore.
7 Days Ago
You agree to hang out that evening. You spend the whole evening drooling over her beauty which you lavishly pay compliments to. You realise the strange fact that good people always inspire naughty thoughts from the fairly good people.
6 Days Ago
She puts you on the spot for not introducing your girlfriend to her yet. You tell her how you've put relationships on hold till further notice. She doesn't buy it. They always do anyway.
5 Days Ago
Regardless of her busy schedule, she still finds an excuse to text you.
4 Days Ago
You spend more than half an hour on phone with her. By the time you are through its 2 am.
3 Days Ago
Despite her best efforts to lure you to the watering hole for a drink or two later that evening, you politely decline the invite citing fatigue. You promise to make up for the 'lost' time.
2 Days Ago
She introduces you to her selfish, skirt chaser of a boyfriend. You are not impressed with her taste. You think she can do better. Somehow you strike a conversation with him and realise he ain't evil through and through.
She later that night texts you to invite you to her place. She promises good food and a nice movie. You agree.
Yesterday
You leave work early and find your way to her place. You commend her on the neatness of her room, you go one better on the food, and settle to catch the movie. You ask yourself why she has chosen The Notebook! She gets all teary through the movie so she seeks your embrace. You don't object.
On your way out after the movie she crowns this her best evening in a long time and then plants one of those prolonged infectious kisses on your lips and wishes you a good night. You stand there dazed while she shuts the door. You find your way home and lie in bed for close to 4 hours.
You just cant sleep!
Today
Your head is heavy. You desperately want to sleep.
While you keep your eyes fixed on the phone expecting a text from her any second, you ask yourself why you just cant be friends!
What happens tomorrow? And the days after?
