Please stay

Its 5:50 p.m right now, i have been here for the past fifteen minutes, the lights have been lit up and here i am standing in front of the pub waiting for the man who i just met yesterday to give me the smile which I'm dying for.

Its 6 o'clock on the dot and i see him across the street, eagerly waiting for the traffic signal to turn green as he catches my eyes. He is wearing formals with a knee length rusty brown coat on him, making his golden skin glow even more than usual under the shimmering lights of this restless city.

Im wearing my favourite tight turquoise knitted dress to give a more curvy look to my figure and to match his eye colour which has me all captured.Im also wearing a huge yet decent amount of flamethrower red on my lips which always gives me a tincture of sexiness.

He is standing next to me, i can feel his slow breathing next to my ear which is really sweet.

"HI" he whispers into my left ear.

My face and ears are flushed with excitement. Its hard to keep calm when your heart is racing so freaking fast that it is on the edge of a great precipice which could collapse any moment. I barely manage to turn around after being paralysed for whole fucking five seconds.

"Hey!" I manage to say without collapsing. He is even more beautiful from near.

"WOWSERS!! you look... wow!" He says with his jaw half dropped, at least I'm imagining it that way.

"so, where to? don't tell me, you're going to take me to a dungeon and lock me up with those desperate eyes of yours!!" he continues 

I half scoff and laugh "umm thanks, and nice idea but no thanks! I guess I'm gonna stick to the plan for today. First we are going to the central game zone which is the dad of all pass time underground places and then we will be sitting in a half rate, barely polish thai restaurant.  Give yourself to me today Mr.Black, you will not regret it." i congratulate myself on my casual tone.

"Already yours shortcake. I guess i will not regret it either" he says with a cunning smile.

"shortcake!?" i say narrowing my eyes and twitching my eyebrows, but i don't know why i for god's sake I smile the most awkward smile. 

"well, you're short but cute, sweet yet bitter, hot and pretty. So I'm gonna call you shortcake from now on. End of convo!" he says and starts walking . Im held totally speechless so i don't backfire. Honestly saying i like this name because  by his view it describes me hot and pretty. We start walking.

Its a twenty minute walk to the central game zone so we decided not to take the cab. We are walking side by side, our shoulders brushing against each other, he suddenly stops and says"wait!, i have something important to tell you, i think you should know."

i catch my breath and stare at him right in the eyes trying to read between the lines.

"what do ya mean?" i say my voice trembling with fear. For a split second i fear that he'll say 'I'm gay so please don't fall in love with me'. 

"Im leaving for Boston tomorrow early morning. I know its all of a sudden but its the best thing for my future as I've just graduated" he says in one go.

I drop my jaw open trying to process everything he just said "what!? gosh seriously! that's amazing!!" i say gulping down a tear and my breath shaking continuously.

He sees right through my disappointment and make me sit on the bench which is on the edge of the street. I fucking love this bench because I'm in no position to stand anymore. My heart squeezes and the more i try to hold my tears the more my eyes burn. He sits next to me and grabs me into the most wonderful hug, caressing my shoulders, his chin rubbing on top of my head and his mouth saying "shush, everything is going to be ok. you're gonna be ok shortcake."

I can't take it anymore, i hug him back digging my head inside his coat and finally my tears start rolling down "ugh these Goddamn tears!"

"shush! shortcake don't be hard on yourself, cry if it makes you feel better its just me." he says pressing a kiss on my forehead and cheeks.

"I like you" this goddamn unfaithful mouth of mine!! I want to die, vanish or just run.I know what is coming next and I'm not prepared.

"what!? you say what?" he says and i am silent, still silent and still inside his coat.

"Melissa? you've gotta tell me that what i heard was it ,was  it true?" he tries again.

"yes! yes its fucking true and I'm sorry i know you have no reason to like me and i totally understand. U know what, just forget whatever i said just now its just some stupid crap i said when you......" 

HEAVENS LORD!!!! LIAM.IS.KISSING.ME. 

I'm slowly getting lost in his mouth, he parts his lips and i do the same, whatever he does I'm doing the same i can't help it.Both of our eyes are closed.

After a full minute he leaves my mouth and i already start feeling empty. My eyes are still shut because i know i will never experience this kind of kiss. His thumb is resting on my cheek and his other hand had already slid into my hair while kissing. I open my eyes slowly and notice his eyes are still closed. He is so beautiful!

He starts opening his eyes, breathing heavily and says"Melissa promise me!, if you will ever come to Boston after you're done with your graduation. You will be my girlfriend"

Im in an unbelievable utter shock. I don't even have the right words to explain it "I promise" i say half grinning and half shocked.

Liam lifts my chin with his thumb and fore finger and presses a gentle peck on my lips and smiles.

"so? still wanna stick with the plan of central game zone and thai food or..."

"nope we are gonna go to your so called greatest pub of Manhattan and talk all night till the time you leave for Boston" I say cutting him off.

"Nice!Im gonna miss this fucking pub " he says.

"By the way will you come to drop me off at the airport?" he asks

"Im sorry Liam but i can't. I won't be able to get myself to." I reply

He rubs his thighs and wipe his mouth with his hands understanding me but still disappointed.

He jumps on his feet, bow down, bring his right hand towards me and says"Lets go princess shortcake your knight is ready!"

"This princess here can walk by herself"I say laughing and get up on my feet.

He laughs the most possessing laugh and grabs my hand interlocking my fingers with his.
