Missing u...OS 5
I turned around, only to be left disappointed, yet again. I thought I heard him. Well, you've been hearing him a lot these days, my mind jeered. I was surprised at how I was behaving. In case you are wondering, who I was looking around for, it was my co-star..friend actually. We'd had a tiff and we were angry at each other for a while. So I had gotten used to saying co-star but to be honest, he was more than a co-star.
How could I not miss him? We were together all the time, working ofcourse! We also had a lot of fun in between. His non-stop chatter, his stupid jokes, his funny ways I missed it all. I loved to listen to him talk. Sometimes, when we talked serious things, I would realise how similar we were. We had faced similar difficulties in life to reach where we are today, we both valued our work, respected our commitments to it, were attached to our families. Ok, so why am I doing this comparative analysis. I think I've
lost my mind, officially. Heart would be more accurate, oh, that was my mind..ignore it please!
I wonder if he is missing me? Huh? Why would he, why should he..and Why am I thinking this? I need to concentrate. I acted out a scene where I was missing him. The shot came out really well. One take OK. Why am I not surprised? I was really missing him now. Even when we were angry with each other, it was such a relief to see him. I dint realise it much when he was around, now I cant seem to think of anything but him. Damn my stupid heart. I ended up thinking of the last scene we had shot together. It
was a passionate scene, we both were extremely conscious. I watched the scene again, and I couldnt help recollecting the memories of the time we spent shooting the scene. I was feeling embarassed but it was nothing to how he was feeling, he was blushing, every now and then. God, this guy, I could not help smiling. He had this way of making me feel completely at ease, I dont know how, but he just does. During this scene though, he kept distracting me, no, not on purpose, I just kept getting distracted
by the looks he gave me, with the way he held me. I kept feeling the whole scene, inspite of the lights, camera and the people around. Everytime I closed my eyes, I felt it was all real. Damn, now am admitting more than I have ever done.
I need to clear my mind, I really am getting carried away with this missing him business. As I was about to leave for the day, another one of the cast members came and casually remarked that it looked like I missed him a lot. I was startled, was I making it that obvious? I managed to say that I was trying to be in character, but she just gave a mysterious smile and left. By the time I reached home, my heart was alien territory, something I had no control over anymore. I thought I'd call him and fiddled with my phone for the longest time, then I thought the better of it.
I was watching the scene for what was the tenth time when I heard my door bell ring. I wasnt expecting anybody.. and nobody had called,so who had decided to drop in on me? Imagine my surprise when I found him standing there, in front of me, outside my doorstep. My heart started doing the congo. I think I smiled more than necessary. When he asked if I had missed him, I couldnt help nodding a yes. I stopped the head nodding. What was I doing? I let him in and he made himself comfortable on the sofa..Before I could shut down my laptop, he had seen the scene I was watching. He said he wanted to watch it as he hadnt yet. Liar. I said I'd get him some refreshments, to which he replied that he had just come from home so he dint want anything and asked me to watch it with him. I think, I blushed, no am sure I did, because I felt my cheeks go warm. I also saw a slight smile on his lips. Who would've thought we would sit together like this and watch the show..not I! It started off well, then slowly the romance set in..in the scene that is..and there was a dance, then a song, I was watching it feeling very concious now while I felt him watching me, when I turned to look at him, he quickly looked at the laptop. I thought I should run away, Ok, now I need to stop acting stupid, we had done the scene, why make a fuss about watching it. I sat there, suddenly he paused the video and told me that we could stop watching if I were feeling embarassed. He said that with such sincerity that I kept looking into his eyes. His eyes..then I told him that it really was alright, so we continued watching it.
By the time the video got over I think there was enough heat generated between us, good enough to boil water I think..what would that be 100 degrees? I thought stupidly. He started talking (in his cute way, he does that to cover up embarassment, I knew that so well..but its always a welcome relief) and suddenly he said that they should've let us kiss. I was too taken aback to be embarassed, I glared at him, what was he saying I thought, my question written all over my face. He laughed and said that he was sort of expecting this reaction from me and wanted to see it. Then he asked a little seriously, if it were required, would u kiss me? I looked at him and told him earnestly that I wouldnt. He wanted to know why. I pulled his leg saying he would be more than willing to. He then said something that totally got me feeling flustered. He said that he would've kissed but only if it were me, then I just told myself that he's just being funny or was flirting. TO be honest, he was neither, he said it with sincerity and I was finding it difficult to ignore my heart going wild. Suddenly, he caught my hand and said.. not because I want to kiss, but because its you. I looked at him , may be a little confused. Then he said what I had hoped to hear all along. you have no idea how i wished I could kiss you, not for a stupid scene, but for real, not because you are beautiful, oh yes you are, you are the most beautiful girl I know, but thats not my reason...the reason is i love you and have loved you for a long time now..I cant tell you when, where or how it happened because I cant remember,,but all i know is that I cant spend 2 minutes away from you without thinking of you..and I do not want to spend god knows how many minutes of my life without you...! I felt a tear trickle down my cheek as I hugged him.
