i would've bought that for you..

So I texted him, 'no special weekend plans?'

'weekend plans..i'm not free today :( gotta go to d press n then straight 2 dinner, saiba..then off to edge.. c's birthday..'

'hmmm. edge is my saturday night hangout place'

'you coming...?'

'depends on what my edging partner's doing tonight... why? do you want me to come?'

'hehe.. that would be interesting! .. very edgy.'

'really? and why is that?'

'The expressions on my friends faces would be priceless lol.. '

'why? what have you told them about me?'

'i just told them your name..to keep some mystery hehe.. which is always good :) cool. cya there.. these friends of mine havent seen you though..'

So i went there with my edging partner hehe. she didn't require much convincing, she loves going dancing as much as i do.

i walked into edge, dark and not very crowded as it was still early. spotted him in ten seconds. the music was good, but not very good and it took me a minute or so to get into the mood.

but it never takes me long anyway...

he texted: 'i'm in'

'me too'

'cant find u! looking!'

'i found you already :)'

it took him ten mins to locate me. he walked towards me from the bar, he was holding a beer. there was transient hand touching as the bottle changed hands. i glugged. glug glug glug. man, alcohol feels so good.

we danced for two minutes, and in that time i finished half his beer. then he said he had to go back to his group and left. but he kept coming back at regular intervals.

(he told me later: my group didn't help much.. they were literally pushing me away to dance with you lol.)

at some point he asked me if i wanted to be introduced to his group. and i was like yeah sure, if u want to. so i was introduced to all of them. 'S, from 4th sem, she was on my board'

(also something he told me later: his friends thought i looked smart, to which m said that i got second highest in forensic medicine, haha. and they all thought i was hot (?), and they asked for an introduction)

at some point, r called me out so i could get him inside. he paid cover charge and we went back inside. now the thing with r is that he doesnt do alcohol. so i stole his coupon and got more alcohol  for me(2 vodkas, one for my edging partner).

m saw the glass in my hand and asked me where i got it.
i said, 'r bought it for me..'

'i would've bought it for you'

i melted a little bit right then.  that one sentence told me everything for certain.

i told him i bought it off r's cover charge. and went back to dancing. leaving everything else unsaid between us.
