On hold

We took our time for few days. As each day passed the more i was attracted to him.

The cultural fest came. He was busy with his pre- shooting. But never left my side for more than 10 mins.

It was awkward standing between boys, when he and his fellow mates are discussing the shoot and schedule. They would pop out from nowhere and start showing him some presentations. Most of the time I excused myself but sometimes he would put his hand on the small of my back and stop me. I always wondered why.

I never liked his team.

"You know, i hate them. Just ask them to meet you in alone and not when i am with you." I complained.

"I know. It was just 5 mins talk." He said.

"Whatever." I sighed.

We were walking back to our class after the lunch break. Half of which was wasted by his team.

"Finally the couple is back." Teased carol.

"We are not." Both me and kevin in unison.

"But we can be." He said in my ear.
