I love chocolate. Which girl doesnt huh? There are only two other things that I love the same way as chocolate. My brother. Although he was six years elder to me -which would make him twenty six years old- we were always like classmate friends. He made up for my dad, who died when i was young. He was very sweet and the greatest brother any sister can get. And the other thing is, I love the kiss from my boyfriend. The intoxicating sensation you feel when you are kissing the guy you love. Those are the three things I love, not in any specific order, mind you.
I invited my boyfriend over for dinner at my place with my family and then we were supposed to go to a movie together, but actually we were going back his place and a movie was the last thing on my mind. Nevertheless, I was a bit nervous since it was the first time I invited him over and I so wanted them to like him. I cooked the food myself with some help from my mom and brother.
Half way through the cooking when mom was out of earshot my brother out of the blue asked me,
"So kid, you love this guy?"
".....", i was blank. But after the initial shock i managed a, "I think im anna. No let me rephrase that..I know i'm in love."
"Ok, he seems a pretty good guy."
"When did you meet him?"
"No i didnt meet him kid. I saw you that day with him at the mall. So i made a few checks myself. And what do you know, he checked out fine." he said, gave me a pat on my back, pinched my cheeks, and went out of the kitchen.
You never seize to amaze me. Love you anna. mmuuaaahhh.
I almost finished the cooking when I heard my boyfriend arrive lead into the house by my brother. After the pleasantries and some drilling question from my mom -none from my brother bcos he already knew about him- we sat down for dinner. Everybody enjoyed the food i thought. We cited the movie timing and made a move out. Mom called out to drive safe and reach safely.
The moment we were out of the door, he said, "Shit! I did a stupid thing in there."
"What did you do? Stop freaking me out!"
"Damn, you know you were sitting right across me at the dining table. And I thought it would be fun to play, you know, toe-toe...so i started touching your toes with my legs..."
"What? But.."
"Yeah i know...only after a few seconds i realised it was your brother's leg i was on, who was sitting next to you at the table.", he stopped and added, "I felt your brother up! I'm sure he is going to kill me."
Damnit! You would have scored if only you havent done the most stupidest thing. That too, my brother.. lets run away from here.
"Lets run away from here! Start the bike fast!!", i said as i turned around to look at the door and realised we were just twenty meters away it. Horrors of horror, my brother opened the door and came running towards us and called, "Stop!".
Me and him just froze at the spot. I was so sure that a streak of unspeakable words, loaded with enough dosage of advice is coming.
"Hey k... sis, you forgot your dessert. I brought you chocolate....and this time it comes with a supplement.", he said and thrusted something into my hands, turned and left.
I waited for him to get back into the house before I opened my hands. Along with my favorite bar of chocolate there was a sachet that read *durex*.
Dedication: To my friends, Parag and Niket, who helped me think like a girl :D
