Chapter 126: Can’t live without him
"In my head. There is a book with your name. I want to fill it up with everything about you."
Oh heaven! He was doomed.
"Oh!" He did not know what else to say. He wanted to read the meaning into it so much but he knew that it was just friendship with Arlen. Nothing else.
Oh heavens! He wanted to fuck it all and kiss him. He thought it could not get anyone but this conversation, Arlen’s words...He was completely smitten.
He could not remember feeling this way about another person. He wanted him so much, needed him so much that it physically hurt.
But what they had now, this connection, this friendship. Ravi could not just lose it. It was not like Arlen liked him, he knew he did not, he couldn’t.
"What is wrong? That sounded creepy. I swear I don’t mean like that. It is just...I want to know everything about you." It was strange. His friendship with Ravi. Arlen had tons of friends, and even larger acquaintances but Ravi was different.
Ravi was special.
It was like finding someone who feels like they have known you to your depth, who you can be honest with, so fun and genuine, who you can be selfish and know he would accept you whole, a warm presence that makes every moment feel shorter and who can imagine life without.
