Chapter 7- A Step Ahead

I was right
She did like me back
Or Well , so I thought.

That day I couldn't keep my eyes off her

I tried my best to analysis her for the whole week
And all I could see was she liked me back

But I still doubted myself a lot....
Was I always a romantic fool..
I could take obvious friendship signs as the " I like you" Signs.

So I didn't do anything about it
I didn't go to confess
Or ask her anything about her feeling,
Neither towards me...
Nor towards that boyfriend of hers

But one day

I don't know if I felt extra courageous
Or
If I had no fear of a heartbreak.

But I tried asking her something only a person who liked you would ask ...
Well that's all I could do with the courage I gathered...

"Hey,I wanna ask you something "

"Go ahead "

"Hypothetically ...
if I were a boy would you date me? "

I had never been this nervous my whole life even when taking very important exams...

But she seemed to be fine
She took it positively
And seemed to be genuinely thinking about this

Oh no!
I don't like this
My heart started to beat faster.....
It felt like it was running a marathon, a marathon I didn't sign up for...

"I would definitely date you,
If you were a guy...
But honestly I don't think you need to be a guy for me to date you..."
giggling she answered ...

It felt like I had forgotten how to talk.

I was stuck..... stupefied ....

Wait, did I hear it right!??
I did, I did hear it right....

I felt my world brighten up, a lot...
A lot more than I would have liked it to.

This sort of scared me for a minute
Cause I knew it
I knew, that if she had the power to brighten up my world
It also meant she could break it, shatter it in a glimpse.....
And that scared me

I was scared of the power she had over me.....

And Right when I thought it could only get better ...

Was the ' silence before the storm'
for me , for us.

And it was all because of her
