There was a
family party for me on the occasion of my home coming (almost after two years)
and my house was right across the venue of the party. As the party was over everyone was leaving
and I told my parents that my cousin and I would wait to get the leftovers
packed. During our wait for our food we started clearing up the table (helping
the staff).
As as we were
halfway through, I looked up and saw him
enter the restaurant with two ladies. I was semi paralyzed, panicking, wondering
what I should do. I was going back and forth between continuing the work or
just turning my back to him, get the food and then leave.
After much
debate- I decided to just keep working. While working I would constantly stare
his way. He was sitting in way that his back was towards me. I would sneak
around, hiding my face with whatever I could so that he wouldn’t see me. I saw
that he would look around once in a while and I kept hoping he didn't see me
Finally we were
done cleaning the table and I asked cousin what we should do about the second
table because, as it so happened, the second table was right behind the table
he was sitting at. So I wasn't sure what to do but finally decided not clean
the table. As I decided this I noticed that they were getting up ready to
leave. I turned around and told my cousin to walk and not look back.
I was kind of
speed walking and then my cousin asked 'what if he was coming towards you?' I
told her I hope not and she should just walk with me but she notioned behind me;
I looked back, saw him walking towards me, looking right at me. I turned away
quickly said 's**t' and started walking a little faster only to realize how
stupid I must be looking, trying to avoid someone I already…acknowledged!
So I just
stopped, looked back at him, smiled and then turned back towards hoping it would
be a quick thing and nothing else
Next thing I
know he is wrapping his arms around me from behind and I'm not sure on what
happens next but we ended up sitting on the floor, with him behind me and me resting against his chest, snug, and
comfy. We were talking about how he stopped keeping in touch and then
everything else that happened in between.
And the next I
remember is, we were sitting at a table talking about how he was here to
celebrate his birthday in advance with his mom and sister
Right then my
entire family comes back to the restaurant. They all sit with us and my mom is
like "no wonder u can sit here and talk with him for three hours, he is
your boyfriend”; as I blushed and answered in a long “nooo, he is my friend”.
Then everyone
was trying to talk to him asking him questions, and in my head I was thinking, “Being
the decent guy he is, he will speak with everyone". I was upset because I
felt like that I would never get to talk to him like this again because he will
never be done with my family. It felt like I lost him, which is weird because
technically I lost him to my family, which is good as that shows they like him…
Dedicated for
the ONE and only YOU!! J <3
