I Had Been Leaning On His Shoulders As The Sun Poured Into Our Living Room Through The Open French Windows...
He was That Guy Who Had Made My Life Perfect...
right Now Was Busy Scanning My Website And Furiously Reading Through It In His Laptop...
"One Thing Ann Is Evident Going Through Your Stuff...." Said Ned.... Rubbing His chin Thoughtfully....
The Familiar Sound Of My Name.. Ann.. Anny Drew-Nickerson Made Me Feel Good....
'Leaning On His Shoulders Made Me Feel So Comfy' I Thought...
"What Ned?" I Had Managed To Ask Him Through All Those Tantalizing Thoughts Running In My Mind... If He Had Came To Know Abt Em Now.. He Would Again Sweep Me Off My Feet Is All I Thought...
He Took his Eyes Off The Laptop And Looked Into Mine...
For A Second, I Thought They Could Read What Lies Inside...
"You Sure Did Hate Me More Than What You Love Right Now.... :D" He Started Throwing Back His Head And Laughing....
I Was Angry... Soo Much For Romance!!! :D
I Took A Pillow Threw On His Head And walked Across The Length Of The Room... And Was Silently Laughing To Myself... If He Had Caught Me Doing It, He Would Never Let Me Forget....
As I took My Morning Coffee And Headed Out To The Balcony..
I Knew I Was Being Wrapped Up By Two familiar Hands From Behind....
I Subconsciously Leaned Back And Let All Emotions Wash Off Me...
"Mrs.Nickerson??"
"ya.... Mr.Nickerson...??"
He Dug His Face In My Neck As He Always Loved To Do...
"One Thing About You Is Definitely Sure Mademoiselle.."
I Turned Back And Cupped His Face... What A Guy!!
"And That Is....??"
"Your Subconscious Feelings Are Never Going To Change...." :D
Saying This He Made A Face At Me And Ran....
I Gave Up Running Behind...
"And Neither Yours...."
I Thought to Myself: :
"OLD HABITS DIE HARD....Harder than ever......"

After That nice cosy party Of Sarah... I Had Had Enough Fun Hanging With People... I Began To Work out My Own Schedule...
Though i Was A Tomboy, I Knew Many Things That Typical Girls Do.... knitting, Embroidery... So I Quietly decided to spend the rest of my holidays that way!
i Had Just Came Out From A Shower... It Was Yet Another Typical day .... Mom And dad had Gone For some job... And I Was Having The Home All To Myself.... :)
I Was Humming And Moving Around The Room, Busily Browsing That Day... Having Towel On My Head Still Lingering on to those wet hairs Of Mine....
And Suddenly There Was A Knock On The Door...
"YOU???"
"yeah, Its Me... hoping for someone else..???"
"Of Course Not... Err.. Be My Guest... Please Come In..."
It Was Him... Ned.. For The First Time Someone Had Come To My Home UnAnnounced... SomeOne Had Come To See Me!!!!! :) :)
"Your Mum is Not In here..." He Said As He Observed The Whole Home So Deep Plunged In Silence...
"Yeah, U R Right... She Had Some Small Errands To Be Run... And Thus She Left Me Alone..."
"Hmmm... Ok Fine..."
Suddenly he started Staring At Me As If He Had Never Seen Me Before..... I Couldnt Avoid His Gaze... It Was Almost Paralyzing....
"Umm... Ahem..."
"Well... Is Your Hairstyle the Latest Trend Or What???"
'If There Had Been free Rabbit holes I Swear I Wouldve Dug My Head In There Sarah....'
Sarah Replied still Unable To Beleieve What Anny Drew Was Saying 'Y ?? What Was So Embarassing??"
The Tinge On Anny's Cheek Deepened, Sarah Observed...
In The Thought Of Having A New Guest Back Home, I Had Completely forgotten The Fact That My Towel Was Still In My Head....
"Oh.. This.... U Meant??" Ann Saw Her Head...
"Jus Gimme A Sec, ll Be Right Back... "
"Thats Ok... Can I use Your System If You Dont Mind....???"
"yup.. Help Yourself.."
Making Sure He Was Comfortable in my system.... I headed into my room... let my hair fall on my shoulders... It Wasnt very Long... But Presently it was wet....
I Was Wearing A Tight Indian Costume.. The Punjabi pathiala... The Thing I Got From My Indian Friend...
"So.. What Are You Surfing????"
"Cricinfo.. Jus Wanna To Know About Yday Match..."
He Spun Around To See Her...
And He Knew What He Saw... A Girl Fair As The Moon... With Nothing Else on Her Face.. And The Beautiful Wet Tresses Which Ended In Her Shoulders... Not Exactly combed.. But Beautifully Messed Up... :)
"So... How Did You come here??"
He Suddenly Took His Eyes Off And Sheepishly Looked Down...
"Well... I Had A Work Nearby... So I Thought U Know I could Just Drop In...!"
"well... This Is A Lovely Surprise..." And She Gave Him A Big Smile...
At That Point Of Time, Sarah called...
"Oh Hi.. Ann... I Was Bored... What On Earth Are You Doing??"
Ned Was Seriously Staring Me ... As If If I Dint Let Him speak To Sarah.. He Would Kill Me...
"oh.. Sar... Umm.. Ned Wans To Speak To you...??"
"Ned... ?? Is He There???"
"Ya... One Sec Stay On Line..."
'hey Sar Baby.... Ned Here.."
"Whoa, Ned! What Are You doing With Ann????"
"Why Shouldn't I See Your Friend??? " He Winked At Me... If He Had Noticed, He Wouldve Known, That I

"Well... Anyways temme.. Wassup...??"
" the Drew Residence Covering ceiling mademoiselle... Above That There Is Your Almighty... :), lol... Temme how r u??"
"M Good Dog... M Too Good... Life Is Beautiful... So How Are You... Howz Life going???"
"Lifes good... "
Since they both were speaking, I started Back To Browsing.. Sensing they might need some private space...
'I think Your friend got offended that I' Not Speaking With her And Spending with You, Being At Her Place.." Ned Said
"Who, Ann?? No She wouldn't Mind... She IS Different.. She Isn't Typically Girlish..."
"Well... That's Intresting.... Anyways I m Leaving Now sar.. Take care n Bye...."
"Yup Bye Ned..."
.................................
When I Heard The Fone Click, I Knew He Would Be Back...
"So What Did Sar Say..??"
"Nthng Much... I Think Its Time I Leave...."
I Spun Around And Mouthed.. "So Soon?????"
Ned Was Surprised "You Want Me To Stay...????"
It was Embarassing.... I Didnot Know what To Say Or How To React... I DID Want Him To Stay... But Dint Want To say... :D
" Ok...lol.. LL Leave Now..."
"Well.. Ok... If U Think So... But Do take Care..."
"Uhh... I Will All Right... Bye!"
"Bye Ned..."
I had Shut The Door... 'that Guy Isn't Bad'....
Maybe Not the Best Also... Maybe Somewhere In Between....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------
"Shit... How Did Forget That Episode Anny... Ya I remember You And Ned Called Na... ???"
I Was Laughing ... "ya... But Then Neither Of Us Had The Question Of Love..... In Our Minds dear..."
"Then How... How.... You Guys Are So different...!!!!"
I Took The Last Sip Of My Coffee, Put The Cup Down And Leaned Back....
"DIfferent..."
"Differences Shouldnot Complicate Relationship Sarah... They Should Complement...."
Sarah was taken aback... but she leaned back and thought.... Richard.... I so Miss You....
