Fairy tales were things I saw in movies but if I can remember vividly, I found myself in one. Cinderella and the prince or maybe beauty and the beast, but he sure was very far from a beast...or not. I was all loved up and all mushy mush. The thought of it was so urghh! But the feeling...the feeling was divine. It was something I wanted to feel over and over again. He was just perfect. He knew what to do and at the right time.

Something within me kept telling me not to take that leap. Not to fall again but something else was stronger, the feelings I got .. I guess. The butterflies in my tummy whenever he was around. The smile on my cheeks, the increase in the pace of my heartbeat. It was all so natural and lovely.
"hey, good day muse" okay, I was Rita, but he called me 'muse' . The story behind 'the muse' was one for another day.
"Hello, good day to you too". I was being all formal. Hehehe when it was time, the madness in me would be unleashed.
"So, I just got back from my trip, could you come over please, it's been ages since I last saw you". It's been 28hours 45minutes and 55seconds. Surprised? Yes, I kept count of every single second we spent apart.
"Yes, sure thing, I'd be there in an hour". An hour felt so long but it wasn't. I had a lot of preparations to make in that hour.
"Okay muse, I'd be expecting you, bye".
I don't know but I caught myself smiling when the call ended.

I got my ass up and headed to the bathroom. I didn't want to look anything less than a muse. I freshened up and began my journey. I arrived and was warmly welcomed.
"Nice apartment you've got here"
"Oh, it's nothing. Thanks"
We got talking and talking. Hours went by and I didn't even notice. The saying that you won't keep track of time when you're with a loved one came to play. Hollup! Did I just say loved one? Well, I guess he got the spot.
I caught him stealing occasional glances when he thought I wasn't looking and that was cute. My side eyes were doing the job for me. I was looking but wasn't looking.lol.
Along the line, we started playing. Playing? Playing! Tickles and the likes. I had a good laugh. Then everywhere fell silent.
"Can I ask for a favour?" Geng geng! Aha! I just smiled within. What favour could he possibly wish for.
"And what would that be?" I asked, still trying to cover up my wild thoughts with a sly smile.
"Can I get a hug?". A hug? That was it…
"Yes, sure, why not. You've met the world's best hugger. Bring it in".
I went in for a hug, but I guess I was the only one doing the hugging..cause of the height difference. Yes! His arms were above my head but I just fit in perfectly. And that was it. Random topics came in and we chattered about it but he looked like something was on his mind

Okay ! Cut! Cut! Cut!.
Hold on for a second. So tell me… what's on your mind. He burst into laughter, a cute one actually, I couldn't help but join him. I kept giving him the 'im waiting for my reply' look and he spoke. More like I already knew what was coming, but I just wanted to hear them from the horse's mouth.. the muser's mouth.
After muscling up so much courage, he let the words out. " I want to have" I kept listening to hear more but that was the end. "You want to have, have as in? Have lunch? Have a nap?" I asked. Playing dumb was something I was really good at. " I want to have you" uhuuuu! Cheeee! Party scatter, come and see me dancing legwork in my head but my outward reaction was the opposite.
"Uhmm I don't know what exactly you mean by that and I think it's time for me to go now" yes! I was a kill joy. He looked at me and smirked, as to say ' nope, I won't let you go this time'.
I got up and made to leave and I was dragged back and pinned to the wall. At this point, I was helpless, just there, staring at thkse eyes and waiting for the next move.
