Together Forever

"Take care of yourself."

"Ok, ok. I will." I say and hug Leah for the fifth time this morning. We head towards the door, Nick coming behind us with their luggage. I decided not to tell them about me moving in with Ethan because I know they would make a big deal out of it. Before they return, I will come back here so nobody will know.

"I will miss you."

"Me too." Leah says sadly as she gives me a kiss on my cheek.

"Girls, you are acting like you will never meet again." Nick rolls his eyes at us.

"Shut up, you baboon!" I scold him playfully and wrap my arms around him in a fondling hug. He puts his face on my shoulder, hugging back.

"I will miss you too. Come back soon." I mutter.

"We will. Take care baby." He says with a content sigh as he pulls back and kisses my forehead.

He walks to Leah and holds her hand while I watch them with a smile. How good it feels when two lovers get together after years of waiting and you are the one playing Cupid? I'm quite proud.

"Bye guys."

"Bye." They say in union as they get out. I watch them get into the elevator and they wave at me.

After they are out of sight, I close the door and plop myself down on the couch. Taking my phone from the table, I watch the time. I should start packing my stuff now. Ethan will be here soon.

I know it sounds weird to move in with someone whom you know for barely two months. But there are many reasons I agreed to do this. It wasn't just for the kiss. Though I didn't want him to kiss me either. After all, it's my first kiss!

Then there are a lot of things I need to sort out with him and for that we need time. It would be better if we can stay under the same roof because other than that, we are always busy outside. I need to know where we are standing now. It's clear after all of this, we are not friends anymore. Then what? I need him to tell me what we are because I really don't know.

And besides everything, I know I will be safe with him. If it was anyone else asking me to stay with them, never in a million years I would have agreed. But it's him. He will never do anything to hurt me. I believe it.

Now the question is how do I trust him this much when I know him for such a short time?

But sometimes you don't need to know a person's everything to know the person himself. You know how he looks at you? With love, affection, passion? You know what he is thinking when you look into his eyes? Maybe he doesn't say that he cares about you but with his every deed, he shows and makes you feel he does care? You think you don't know him for the fullest but with your heart, you feel like you know him forever? Yes, that's when you really know the person even if you think you don't.

And in this spell of two months, I have seen him in different ways, under different circumstances that now I feel like somehow I know him more than I know myself.

Though it's strange, it's true.
