I lay on top of Noah's chest to catch my breath. Both of our chests our moving up and down in our postcoital bliss. It doesn't feel as foreign as I believed it would. I was desperately missing being intimate with him.
I slided next to him on the bed and he wrapped his hands around me and he slept. I couldn't really sleep so I got up changed into my clothes and as Noah was going tomorrow so I wanted to write a really special letter for him.
                          
I think about reinventing myself a lot
Like I can't stick to one thing long enough.
I do everything a lot. 
I talk a lot.
I move a lot.
I swear a lot.
I read a lot.
And maybe I love a lot.
You know when was the first time I realized that I felt for you a little more than you do, it was my birthday.
When Steve left me and I was totally broken you stood by me instead of just leaving with your best friend. 
I know I ran away from you guys but you were the one to find me back. I resisted all the feelings as you were dating my best friend but I always loved you. Even being with other guys I was always concerned about you. Everyone could see that but I was afraid to accept that. 
And the day when I truly felt that I need to tell you was the day you and Anna moved in but I didn't. And when I confessed everything in a drunk state of mine, I was embarrassed and ashamed of my behavior and I avoided you like you never existed in this house.
But then you gave a letter on Christmas and it has been the best day of my life since then as no one had ever said such beautiful things to me. 
Being with you Noah I feel blessed and I'm overwhelmed of the amount of love you have towards me. I always loved you and I always will and I loved you enough to let you go but in the process of letting you go I actually found you. 
The first time when you made love to me in Paris instead of kissing me you kissed my soul, and that day I realized that even if we part our ways in that very moment I was in love with you like anything and I never wanted to get over those moments.
And the last summer of yours that you spent with me made me realize that you the one I want to share my life with.
I love you Noah and I always will and always did.
And I promise you that this is gonna be forever and I'll be always be there for you no matter what. 
I love you.

I completed the letter and then I went downstairs to make a cup of coffee for myself. It was five in the evening and Anna too returned home we both had our coffee and she blabbered about her relatives who were really irritating for her. 
After some time Noah joined us and we all watched a movie together. After that we had our dinner.
"Guys would you mind if I stay out tonight?" asked Noah.
"Why would I mind. Ask Maya." Anna smiled.
"Where you want to be tonight? You have a flight tomorrow morning." I said.
"I'll be just hanging out with my school friends it's like a get together." he said.
"Fine go then." I said.
"Are you sure? " he asked.
"Yes. Go." I smiled.
He gave a hug and took his keys and left.
"So what are we doing to do?" asked Anna.
"You tell me." 
"I have this spray paints I got from the party. Let's do some DIY stuff."
"Yeah. Sounds interesting."
"Ok. So you change your clothes and by the time I'll get some bottles and vase which we can paint."
"Yeah sure."
I came back after changing my clothes and we both were all set to paint and pass our time by doing something good.

Anger was filled up inside me, my parents threw me out of the house because I was arrested for kidnapping someone and for forcing my self but no one saw that she deserved it. It's been three days since I've been out and I've followed her everywhere and it was really easy with my brothers help. I could have killed her the day of the Halloween party but just for my brothers sake I had to stop myself. But not now she's gonna get what she deserves I was literally rotting inside the cell for a month and she was out enjoying. 
I took my backpack and I booked a cab to Brooklyn. I reached there and here I was in front of her house.
She didn't even knew what could have happened to her in a day but it's kind of me to control myself.

Me and Anna made two DIY flower holders, we decorated some bottles and even a mirror frame. It was a great work to pass my time. 
Anna was really tired and so was me so both of us went to our rooms. I opened my laptop and worked for my next semester a bit. I worked till midnight and I was finally sleepy, Noah was still not home and that's the only reason which was keeping me awake. 
I got up from my bed and opened the window of my room, the soothing breeze touched my skin and the weather was really good. I was missing Noah and I was pissed at him that if he is returning tomorrow he could have spent this time with me. I put on my earphones and listened to music for sometime. I was tired waiting for him so I switched off the lights and finally went of to sleep. 
This was best Halloween ever I've had, with my best friends my love and most importantly without any sought of drama. Even though we had schools from tomorrow but this was the best of times I've spent with these guys.
And today I was missing mom a lot, I don't know why but I was getting the glimpses of the past Halloween parties. I basically hated celebrating it and my mom made me love it, she was an enthusiastic person and used to do all sought of decorations and used to host parties for me and my friends and prepared games for us and even used to go with me on trick and treat.
She was a great person and gave me a great brother like Maverick whom I miss and I'll surely give him a call tomorrow as I really miss him.
Maybe I could go back to India and this time on a positive note and have a great traveling experience. And maybe I could take Anna with me as she is dating Maverick  and he speaks to her daily and we rarely speak about him as it never really comes up.
And after having thoughtful mind processing, I was finally deep asleep and had no plan to wake up early.
