Meeting Selena - Part II

<Please read PART I before you read this part>    

      She turned her head towards me and looked me in the eyes. I could not feel the ground or any part in my body except for my heartbeat. The eye contact was so magnetic that one blink could stop your heart from beating. She smiled and whispered, “Yes”. Although, I already thought she would say yes, it made me kind of relieved when she said that. I took a deep breath. She pleaded me not to tell anyone around and asked me if I would take a seat. I agreed. She introduced me to other people who were with her. There were a guy and a girl with her who looked older than her, maybe 30-35. I started to chat with her. I don’t know why but I started to chat with her about her family and normal stuffs which I never thought I would do! I always thought that whenever I got a chance to meet any celebrity, I would talk to them about their creations, their looks and how much I appreciated them. That didn’t happen that day. She asked me about my family and my life and I replied. I asked her if she would like to meet my friends and she agreed. I got up and gave her may hand. She said, “Thank you” and held my hand and got up. I felt like flying holding her soft hands.


       We walked to our table and I said, “Guys, this is Selena Gomez”. By the look in their eyes I could tell that some of them were like “HUH!” and rest were like”What the heck! How’d he get that beautiful chick this quick??” Later I came to know that only one of my friends knew about who Selena Gomez was. Rest all were in shock to see that pretty thing beside me. I then explained to them who she was. There was some introduction and little bit of chit-chat and bla bla stuffs for about 30 minutes. I could see that she was having a good time with us. I asked her if we could show her around the town. She said, ”Ummm…..Just a sec” and went to her table and I have no idea what she said to convince them but came back real quick and said, “Let’s go!”  We decided to take a walk and not go too far from the pub. She seemed very happy and excited and told us how much she loved to walk.

 

        We started chatting and walking slowly. All of us were walking in a pact and making loud noise. I was a little worried that we would catch attention and someone would recognize her. There were people on the way that looked at her but nobody said a word. Who would have thought Selena Gomez would be walking down the streets with a bunch of local hooligans. At times I explained to her about the history of the buildings and places we came across and the other time we had random chat.

            As we were having really good time, I gathered some guts to ask her something. I said, “So, you and Bieber hmmm….. Really?” She looked little sad and said, “What is with
you all guys? Justin is a really wonderful person to be with.” I felt little awkward and didn’t know what to say next. After a while she said, “But it’s over now, we are just friends. It has been a little more than two weeks that I’m single. You are the first person that I’ve told this secret. Please don’t tell anyone about it.” I desperately wanted to ask what went wrong but I didn’t want her to feel sad anymore in these precious moments. I asked, “So, are you seeing anyone lately?” She told me that there was a guy (I can’t remember the name now) who is suspicious about her relationship and is trying to get closer to her but she’s not interested in him.

            We then reached a viewpoint from where you could see large area of the city. The view, as usual, was extraordinary and as soon as we reached there she screamed, “Wow!” We told her to be careful as there were people all around. She giggled, the wind blew her hair and she tucked it slowly behind her ear. She looked like an angel. I thought I would pass out right there. This might have been too soon and super weird but I was now falling for her. I knew that I didn’t even have a minute chance with her but that’s how God made me.....…… and her of course. She was the perfect combination of everything that’s good and I was a freak that falls in love too fast with every beautiful woman I meet.

    

            We all seated ourselves and were looking at the bright lights twinkling in the city. Selena was right next to me. There was a moment of good silence as everyone was busy looking enjoying the view and probably thinking something (At least I was). I didn’t think twice, just turned my head towards her and whispered,”Will you be my girlfriend?” She looked me in the eye and I looked down. I was silent and scared that I’ve done something terribly wrong to ruin the moment. She smiled and said, “Yes…”

“YES? Is this really happening? Did Selena Gomez say yes to me??” , I was having a little bit of shock. If this had happened with any other girl, I’d probably hug her at that moment but I was having mixed feelings. I thought stuffs like this happened only in dreams so I gathered all my energy and pinched myself hard to see whether this was real or not. Nothing happened! She said,”Hey! What are you doing?” I didn’t say a word and just smiled at her. “Hehe, you’re so cute!” she giggled and took my arm and put it around her. She lied on my shoulder and there was moment of silence again. I was still thinking how to react (Pretty slow guy, ain’t I?). Slowly there was a feeling of joy in me. All these years I was lonely and I always looked at my friends with their girlfriends and thought there is probably someone whom I will get soon and now what I got was every single guy’s dream. My friends told me that they’ll be back in a while and I nodded. They probably didn’t want to ruin the moment.

“I was really hurt and was very lonely after Justin and I broke up. I didn’t have this much fun since long time”, she said. I realized why she had accepted me now. “Am I being used as her rebound after the breakup? But who cares? It’s still a huge thing for me” I was thinking. I would have felt happy even if she had agreed to be my girlfriend for just that day. So, I didn’t say a word. I started caressing her hair. It was smooth as silk and the smell of her hair made me hypnotized at the moment. I had my arms around her and her head was resting on my shoulder. I wished I could never leave the place. I looked up in the sky, saw the bright stars twinkling and thanked them all for being with me to make up this evening wonderful.

       

I wished I could take her with me and keep her with me forever but that was not going to happen. I asked her, “So, when will you visit me again?” “I’ll come to Rome whenever I get free, even if it’s just couple of days and then we will have our glorious moments together”, she said. I was more than happy. “We should probably leave now or I’ll be in trouble”, she said. I looked at my watch. Holy crap! Time had been really cruel with me. Why did it have to pass this quick today? I remember the times when I watched time continuously for hours and still it used to be still and slow. But why did that not happen now? I stood up slowly with a frown in my face. She was looking at me with her gorgeous eyes. I felt like kissing her but was too scared to do so.

          We searched for our friends. They were on the other side. I signaled them that we were getting late. They came after a while. All of them were making faces and mocking without making any sound. She didn’t see that as she was busy enjoying the view. Now we were returning and I started to feel my heart beating high. I had started to feel lonely already. I was now thinking how would I spend my time when I’m not with her? She was quite all this time as we were walking. I had no clue what to say to start the conversation. We just kept walking. Suddenly my friends disappeared. I heard some noise. Everything was blurred. I started to hear the sound of my mother. She was in the other room. I opened my eyes. I felt really bad that it was just a dream. I got up and opened my laptop quickly. It was in sleep mode. To my surprise there was just one tab open in my browser that read “Wall Photos” and below was a picture of Selena Gomez. I laughed inside, “Oh god, what is with me?” Now I remembered that last night I went through Selena Gomez’s photos for the first time and like-d few of them and I was sleepy at the moment as it was late. I hibernated my laptop and had a sound sleep and there she popped in my dream! (And trust me; pinching yourself in the dreams doesn’t work at all!) People say empty mind is devil’s workshop but I say “ Always occupied  mind is a crazy workshop.” You never know what unusual stuff is going to pop in your brain and what you’re going to make of it!
