Samantha bit her lips hard as she stared at the clock.
“We both made a promise to meet today by 7pm. Where’s he seriously? I’m all alone here! Newton is probably with his girlfriend celebrating his birthday. Brad might be chilling or doing something fun else where while I’m here! Just doing nothing… Well, I’ve got to wait for him but I wonder why he won’t pick his calls” Samantha lamented as she stared at space.
*************************
Myles looked at the silver wristwatch. It was 8:31 pm. She was probably late. She sighed heavily and took out her makeup from her bag. She applied little especially below her eye. Seemed she must have been crying and used makeup to cover the eye bags that could have been formed.
She kept it back in her bag and looked forward. It was the huge door of The Sky Boys Band. (Samantha was inside the room waiting). She stretched her hand slowly pressing the buttons when she her phone rang. She paused and took out her phone. She looked at the screen and the caller was her boyfriend, Newton .
☎ I’m already at your place She gushed after picking up the call.
☎ Huh? My place? What have you been thinking about babe? I told you we should meet in the 5 star Hotel,Room 12. I’m still waiting.
Myles sighed and hunged up the call. She looked at the door again. She removed her gaze and walked away.
Meanwhile, Samantha clearly heard the beeping sound coming from the door. She stood up happily waiting for Blaze to come in but was quite disappointed when nobody showed up. She walked closer to the door and pulled it.
“Huh? Who did that? Nobody is here” She thought as she pushed her head out from the opened door. She looked forward and her gaze met with a tall girl who walked away slowly.
“Who’s she?” Samantha asked to no-one in particular watching the unknown girl’s behind. Samantha sighed sadly and went in again.
*******************
“You came late” Newton said coming close to her. He suddenly hugged her tightly and smiled. “I still miss you anyways” He said
“I’ve got things to do Babe… Let’s keep this short and quick” Myles said to him and left his opened arms.
“Huh? Okay” He replied surprised by her act. Newton brought out a beautiful cake and placed it on the table. They sat beside it. Newton tried to hold her hand but Myles kept removing hers. It left Newton sad and bad.
“Happy Birthday Newton” Her voice wasn’t sincere. She kept looking at the fire that lit up the candle on the cake.
“Myles , What’s really wrong with–
“Your reply should be Thank You” She cut him short.
“What?” He was very shocked.
“Don’t ask for any gifts. I didn’t bring any… Let’s quickly blow out the candles… It’s almost melting. Oh, Can I also make a wish. I’ve a wish to make” Myles whispered showing him her lonely depressed look.
“Alright, Let’s make a wish. It might make you happy” He replied folding his lips.
“Thank you, In 3–2–1,–Myles paused as they blew out the candles.
Make a Wish!” Newton gushed. They closed their eyes and faced the cake.
Seconds later, They opened their eyes and looked at each other.
“What did you wish for?” Myles asked.
“No. Its supposed to be a secret” Newton replied forcing a smile.
“Well.. Mine isn’t a secret”
“Why?”
“Do you wanna hear mine?”
“Okay then” Newton replied
“I wished we could–She paused and swallowed hard. Just then, A tear escaped from her eye. However, She quickly wiped it off with her palm. Newton felt his heart skip.
“I wish we could break up” She completed
“What?” Newton voice shaked. His eyes twitched and he wished it was nothing but a nightmare.
“Let’s break up Newton” She blurted holding onto her bag. Tears rushed from Newton’s eyes. She also couldn’t hold back her tears. She began to cry as well. She turned to leave but Newton held onto her hand.
“Don’t go, Please–He paused and sniffed hard trying to tuck in his runny nose. His tears ran down like an explosive volcano .
“Don’t leave me, Please! Myles , I really love you… Please, It’s my birthday for crying out loud! You know how much I suffered. You know how lonely i was. You know how depressed I was. You know how much I h@ťěd myself and even tried to commit suicide! So, Why now? Why? Please, Can’t you rethink this… For my sake?” He cried out like a new born baby.
Myles stared at him. She was angry, and sad too.She inhaled deeply closing her eyes which allow more tears to flow freely.
“Don’t like me anymore. I’m not of your class anymore…I don’t want you to h@ťě me. I don’t wanna put you in danger. Because of a mistake I made, I’m drained with utmost loneliness and depression. I don’t want anyone or anything. Please, Stay away from me or I might try to commit suicide” She retorted with a loud yell.
Newton looked at her and slowly disengaged from her. He felt shivers run through his spine. His heart kept on palpitating now and then. Newton wondered what she was even talking about. The $h|t he heard made him scared. Myles breathed heavily and tried walking out.
“Do you wanna know what I wished for?” He asked causing a halt to Myles steps.
“No” Myles replied with a slow whisper not minding to face him from her behind.
“I’m still gonna say it anyway” He replied with tears still streaming.
“I made a wish to kiss the woman of my dreams tonight… and that’s “You,Myles ”…Can I wait till you find yourself back. I’m gonna wait” He muttered.
Myles sighed and left without uttering any more words. Newton fell down on his knees crying. He cried and cried like he was nuts.
He drank a lot that night. He became drunk to the extent of not being able to walk properly.
However, a designated driver was called for him. The kind driver even held him close escorting him down to the door.
Newton paid and sat down on the floor. He scattered his hair and slammed his face.
He sniffed continuously cleaning the never ending tears. He eventually stood up but in a rough stagger. He looked at the door security and shaked his head trying to look at it well due to his blurred vision.
****************************
Finally, Samantha heard the beeping sound again!.
She sighed in relief. It was 9:50 pm already.
She stood up happily and waited for Blaze to come in.
She saw the silhouette of the person come in. He took off his shoes and came closer.
“Huh? It’s Newton?” Samantha was angry and surprised after seeing her uninvited guest come into light.
“Huh? Did you drink?” She asked looking at him. He laughed as he stared at her.
“Did you just laugh?” She asked
“–You laugh better, Your smile is cute. You don’t look handsome… You look beautiful” He blurted out.
“What?” She asked whispering.
“You are drunk Newton” She added quite worried and weird by his senseless statement.
“No, I’m not” He retorted
“You are” Samantha said coming closer to him. Newton blinked his eyes as he looked at Samantha who was now next to him.
“You should go to bed.. I’ve to go home now. It’s late” Samantha said now taking few steps past him.
“Don’t go” He whispered grabbing her hand.
“Why? Are you scared of the dark?” She mocked smiling as she turned to look at him.
“Don’t smile like that either” He whispered again.
“Why? It’s ugly right?Huhmmp!” She frowned
“–No,–He whispered and paused
It’s too pretty. So pretty that I might go crazy” He finally added.
“What’s wrong with you. Gosh, You are quite gross when you are drunk” Samantha chuckled.
“I’m leaving, Goodnight!” She waved. She tried taking off her hand off his grasp but he didn’t bulge. She looked at him.
“Hey? What’s wrong with you?” She asked now worried. Newton stared at her and swallowed hard.
“I asked, What wrong with–She paused suddenly due to Newton’s lips now on hers.
She opened her eyes widely opened in shock. Newton’s hand slowly left her hand and took both hands to her face. He took total possession of her lips kissing her deeply.
Samantha lifted her arms up like she was surrendering. However, Newton kept kissing her deeply and passionately. The kiss got intense and hot that Samantha felt it.
Her eye lids began to close slowly involuntarily. Samantha slowly took her arms down and went to his shirt.
She tightly held onto his shirt’s waist line.
She felt his soft lips against hers.His kiss was irresistible. It felt like a cool breeze with the mixture of fragrance from beautiful flower petals. Though it wasn’t part of her delightful plan, she felt the urge of sweetness.
Newton bit her lower lip gently, as he slowly found his tongue wiggling in Samantha’s mouth. He held onto her cheek’s area well trying to kiss her more deeply than normal.
Samantha slowly returned the deep kiss. They were both out of the world and found themselves in pure blinding light.
