Dear Diary,

It was winter. The haze wandered through the edges of poignant walls of the street, penetrating in my skin giving me chills all over my body.

I paced ignorantly but the weather was so therapeutic that I felt soothing.I felt every inch of the wind in my body, shivering but enjoying it.

I tugged my stall, rubbed my hand to warm up,breathing out and I saw you passing by.The weather suddenly become hot after your advent.Your eyes melted every corner of my soul and when they made a contact with mine,I swear I could not breathe...my cheeks heated up all of a sudden and I did not realize that I was blushing hard.

The distance between us was like the sunny days and the tender tension between us ....I can't explain it. It's different when it's you...and I love it.You smiled not knowing that you had killed my heart ....every inch of my soul with that adorable look...I wish you knew...

Lia

Narrator's Pov:-

As soon as Evan left Lia heaved a deep sigh of relief.Her heart pounded rhythmically shouting out his name.She quicken her pace and headed home,locking herself inside her room.

She gasped as she closed the door shut.

"My goodness...We were too close"

Suddenly her mother interrupted, knocking at the door,"Lia..."She called out.

"Yes mom"Lia opened the door and saw her mom with ... him.... . Her eyes widened with astonishment.

"Lia..Evan's inviting you out for dinner, rest you both can figure out...."Saying this her mother left to bring some snacks for the kids.

19 Year old Lia felt the same amazement when she was sixteen as if traveling back in time and enjoying the same thrill of crushing over him.

"mmmm...Can I come in?" He asked gently.

"Uh..yeah,sure..."

They sat on the bed together.

"Did I hear mom right? ..like did I get her wrong or something...or did I not understand what she meant....dinner ?huh..!."Lia was nervous.

"Actually I and Ema wanna go out on a date but I can't tell my parents about it...my mom will ground me if she gets to know I am dating a girl when I am twenty one...She thinks I am too young to date Ema..."He explained.

"How old is she ?"I enquired.

"umm...24"He replied,"But that doesn't matter ...now the time has changed...it doesn't matter right..age doesn't matter..."He added.

Lia remained silent as if hiding her wrecked feelings...She felt despondent about the fact that ,the love of her life loved someone else but she did not let her feelings invade the situation.She kept her cool.

"So would you like to join us for the dinner....please please please?"He asked.

Lia hid the tears which were about to fall,deep inside the ocean of melancholic depression and interrupted him,"but what if she feels insecure or awkward?"

"I will leave you on the car ..maybe ...if you don't mind...just please agree to me...my mom won't allow me to hang out with any other girl... except you...We have been childhood friends...please...,next time I will treat you a dinner....please "He added.

Lia put a fake smile on her face and replied,"Okay..Just text me the time...and yeah don't ditch me ... don't forget the dinner lol just us...no Ema .."

"Thanks a lot ,you are a saviour "He pinched her cheeks.
