They. 😊

They had a friendship, so casual, so liberating, so special. From being unknown to each other to become neighbors next seat in office, they had a sweet bonding. They used to fight, abuse each other like buddies, still took great care of each other.It was a plain friendship, no expectations, no promises, no strings attached.

From sitting next to each other in the plane to grabbing a beer together to sharing a smoke, it was evident that they were a team. When he hired the bike to roam around, it was already understood that she would be his partner. Unknowingly, they were getting habitual of each other's company.

The comforting beach waves, the lovely environment everything was in their favor. When he went further inside the sea, and the deadly waves scared her, he took her hand and led her forward. Her fear vanished when she held his hand tightly. She felt safe with him and was confident that he won't let her go. He would protect her no matter what. Even the scary waves won't be able to touch her till he was with her.

Sitting in separate rooms in the hotel, they used to search for excuses to be with each other. His holding her toe while lying in the bed was the sweetest thing she experienced. It was nothing sexual but sweet. Keeping her head on his arm felt like home. Keeping his head on her lap was soothing. It did not feel wrong. They just wanted to be with each other, to be closer. There was no guilt, no shame, only comfort.

Even when they were going to club, he knew that she would be her partner. Even when other guys persuaded her to come with them, he did not say anything and just looked at her. There's no need of words when eyes do their magic. When she came out of her room dressed for the party and looking lovely, she encountered a different look in his eyes. Was it admiration or just praise or anything else, she still doesn't know. While on the bike, she was a little conscious while holding him from the back. She did not want to make him feel uncomfortable.He did not show any signs.Was he liked it, or loving it or that was something very normal for him. She was hungry and he was concerned about finding food for her.
When she freed herself from other people's company and sat on the couch, she knew he would come searching for her.
When they were high enough, they found solace in each other's company. They held hands together and lived that moment. The feeling, the emotions were beyond description. They drank together, laughed together, felt that emotion together. It was as if, they were playing their hearts. No head business !! When some other guy tried to make a move on her and she told him that, he got pissed off. He felt so protective of her yet showed it as a friendly anger. He takes care of her stuff, her drinks. He refused to go back to their friends as he was loving her company, that beautiful moment alone with her.

They were nothing less than soulmates or nothing more than friends. They were complicated as was the sweet relationship they carried.They were nothing and at the same time everything for each other.

They were like "Friends Forever"!
