The Dark Night - Part I
It was a very tiring week I said to myself. I went to a liquor outlet and got myself a bottle of Jack Daniels. Walking in a busy road all by myself, worst part is that I do not have a company to enjoy a good drink. Entering my room I could see a lot of takeaway cups cigarette buds couple of chopsticks, and magazines. Dropped my bag in a corner and entering my balcony to have a smoke I could see the traffic build up with lot of vehicles honking their way out of it. It was a busy street with lot hotels, shops, temples, shopping complex filled with people. Lit my cigarette inhaling the smoke felt much relaxing, took the bottle to the terrace poured a drink for myself with some ice, staring at the stars which was clear with no clouds thinking about the worst week at work I had and the yet to come new responsibilities after being promoted by the end of next week. Turning towards the left I found a girl standing in her balcony staring into open space with pretty eyes filled with tears waiting to roll down, her chocolate coloured skin dressed in a white chudhiar with Silver earrings, and silver necklace. She noticed me as I walked towards the edge of the terrace towards her balcony. I said the stars are pretty, aren’t they? She noticed me, completely ignoring the statement what I said continued to stare in to open space. I said “I think you are upset with something. Am I right? She turned towards me and asked “WHO ARE YOU? I replied “not someone who is important at this moment when your pretty eyes are filled with tears. I know it is none of my business but you can make things better, I poured the Whiskey into the glass I had and offered it to her. Instead she took the bottle I had and had a gulp out of it. She said “thanks, but it’s not something you can help me with.” “May be, but I am sure my company would make you feel better” I said She didn’t say much. I may not understand what you are going through and I am not here to help you with your problems or talk you through it. I am here to help myself I have spent most of my adult life being lonely and away from home. I wouldn’t want to miss an opportunity of having a decent conversation. She replied “what makes you think you will get one.” I WILL, if you stop being so reserved and hard on yourself, after saying these words I turned walking away from her taking a sip of JD. She asked “you live here??” I turned towards her and replied “YES” She said “you can come in by taking the next building 2nd floor apt no 208 and went inside with my bottle of JD. 205,206,207 and here it is 208. I rang her door bell; she opened the door and invited me in. As I entered her house, she guided me to her sofa and she left for the kitchen and got in a glass and offered a drink while she was sipping hers. As I took the drink from her I observed her she had straight hair and chocolate skinned and a sharp nose and very sharp intimidating eyes she had removed her ornaments I could see her long neck and some of it was covered by her hair. Her first two buttons remained unbuttoned I could see that she did not remove her silver necklace which was gorgeous on her deep neck, I tried to avoid contact, she saw me noticing her top. Then the AWAKWARD silence we both did not have anything to say, She broke the silence “How about dinner” I replied “sure why not” She took a few things out of the refrigerator arranging things for dinner while I was wandering around her house; I saw a photo of her with another man. I did not question. She saw me seeing that photo she said “we were supposed to have dinner tonight, it’s our anniversary, he doesn’t care much now a day’s” I didn’t know how to react, she started telling me how she and her husband met and fell in love with each other and got married and have been living in Bangalore since then, she said that they haven’t made love to each other from past 2 months. I hugged her telling her that things will be back to normal, and nothing to worry about. Her fragrance was of the thousand lilies. She rested her chin on my shoulders while I moved my hand further down towards her lower back for which she did not complain. I widened her shirt collar to reveal her skin I caught her hair while she was still resting on my shoulders and kissed on her neck and as soon as I did that she hugged me tighter and this provoked me to proceed further kissing on her neck and she instantly pulled her shirt to one side of her shoulder revealing her Bra strap and her left shoulder and my immediate instinct was to run lips across her shoulders which I did. On one hand she was holding her collar allowing me to kiss and on the other hand she was holding my hair with aggression, she was letting out small moans while my left hand was holding her neck and my right on her soft ass. I stopped for a sec took my hands out of her and held her face with my arms I said to myself Man!!! She’s gorgeous, her long face and her sharp nose with painted red lips with sober eyes was a masterpiece. I then moved towards hers lips brushing her upper lips with my lower lips and after a 5 sec she broke the kiss and wet her lips through her tongue and started kissing again. While kissing I pushed her towards the wall we broke the kiss and she unbuttoned my shirt after clearing all the buttons she held my neck and pulled me towards her neck while I held her by her hips and raised a little higher to my own height then she wrapped her legs around me while I was still kissing her neck. She pulled the bottle of whiskey and poured some of it on her neck while I was watching the golden whiskey drops’ finding its way towards her cleaves while her chocolate brown skin continued to shine.
