As we walked in, the caf\u00e9 felt unusually comforting. I usually don\u2019t enjoy coffee joints. Too many people, tables too close to each other, everybody talking at the same time and a Smell of different types of strong beverages in the air. But today, today I was happy to anywhere as long as he was there with me. <\/span><\/p>\n

He reads my mind, words I haven\u2019t spoken. He feels my pain. My mother will not stop asking if I and him are dating. \u201cNo Mama, Will and I are good friends\u201d I repeat. He had reserved a quite table at corner, with a view towards the city. I smile as he pulled the chair for me. He knows I love the view, so he stares at me for a while waiting for me to confess. \u201cSay it!\u201d He finally exclaims. \u201cOk, you know I love the view, thank you.\u201d I smiled.
\nThe waiter was polite, she served us both a mock tail as we joked around. After she left, he leaned forward, \u201cI can\u2019t stand the pain in your eyes. Don\u2019t think your smile fools me for a second.\u201d He whispered. And suddenly my eyes teared up as he reached for my cold hands on the table.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you in Love or in Lust?\u201d He asked.
\n\u201cWhat\u2019s the difference?\u201d I asked.
\n\u201cLove is giving, lust is taking.\u201d He Clarified.
\n\u201cBoth.\u201d I answered.
\n\u201cI wanted to give him everything that I was, and take in everything that he was.\u201d I added.
\n\u201cYou are confused..\u201d He Concluded.
\n\u201cI am not the one who is confused.\u201d I added.
\nWe sat in a pin drop silence. His stare I couldn\u2019t read, he was very good with poker faces. I drifted off, my mind now focused on the art work in the room. God knows art can take me off anything. After a while, I was comfortable with the silence.
\n\u201cGive your heart a break.\u201d He interrupted.
\n\u201cTry giving up for a change.\u201d He added.
\nI didn\u2019t respond, instead, my mind drifted back to the art work on the wall, I couldn\u2019t get my mind off the piece I left at the bus station after my art class the other day\u2026.
\n\u201cLet\u2019s get out of here. I want to show you something..\u201d he said as he waved for the waiter to bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
