Some people enter your life without saying a word. They simply sit four rows away and unknowingly become a part of your every thought.

It is a boring day at the office and I clumsily walk towards my desk, open up my laptop and do a usual chore. I see two people looking at me from across, I look back at them and they stop looking at me and sit down on their desk, I haven’t seen these faces before, maybe new people in the team.

I look again, and you are cracking up some joke and you both laugh, I keep looking and I notice your face, well groomed, crisp shirt, black pant, belt, and full professional look. I guess it’s the first day today in the office.

I smile and remember my own.

Days pass by and I see you on and off here and there on the floor, I try to search for the new joiner email to find out your name, I go through all of them one by one, for years I haven’t opened any and all straight landed to my trash if older than a day, no luck.

I look at you and you are watching a cricket match on your phone working, hmm a cricket fan, interesting.

You look okay, tall, handsome, fair, and medium built, your eyes shine and you seem a simple person and man when you laugh, it looks like the world stops, I gaze at you with an unknown feeling. Damn that smile, it made me feel a lot of things. Sometimes, I would look at you longer than I should, and immediately retracted thinking, what was I doing.

As days passed, I learned your name when you joined our project and became part of the team. Quickly, a buzz surrounded you — everyone was excited because you possessed knowledge of the latest technology we were about to use.

For a tech enthusiast like me, nothing is more captivating than someone who holds the key to cutting-edge advancements.

I look at you from across the desk, you are wearing dark blue polo t shirt, just like the pink one yesterday. I remember seeing them at a store, are you a Snitch guy? I smile to myself.

One day you were working and a giant monitor was coming in the view between us. That day I stayed until late to remove it from the view, hoping I could see you from where I sat like I always did. The next morning, as soon as you dropped by, you picked it up and placed it exactly where it was before. I smiled to myself, you had no idea that you had hidden yourself from me, and I could no longer steal those little glances across the floor as I used to.

I drift imagining to kiss you deeply. I touch your lips, wanting to kiss them for so long, your eyes looking at me, and mine locked in your lips, your mouth open as you feel my fingers over them, you hold my fingers in your kind and you peck a kiss on them, I draw closer to you, my heart beating fast, breathing your scent, your cologne, I can hear you breathing faster, you put your hand on my face tucking my hair behind my ear, and you pull my face closer to yours, looking into my eyes.

I look at you and I put my lips on yours and immediately retract, you cup my face with both hands and you kiss me deeply, your lips over mine, oh how I was burning to touch you, kiss you, my mouth in yours savoring the pleasure, the wait, the longing, ever since I saw you, to kiss you, kiss you so much.

I feel every inch of my skin come alive as your hands move around my face, moving towards my neck, we stop and look into each other’s eyes and I smile and I want to kiss you again, I can’t remember a kiss so passionate, so deep, so meaningful as if you liked it more than me as if I was thirsty, and now your lips water my soul, making way to my heart, making me feel so wanted.

I kiss you again and this time like I would never get a chance again to kiss you, hold you so close, I remember longing for you, your lips over mine, sleeping onto my bed my pillow and how I wished it was you upon whom I laid on, your bare chest and my head over it, fingers entangled, our bodies intertwined, feeling your bare naked body on me, touching every inch and soul and not letting the night go by.

I draw away to breathe and you bring your forehead towards me, breathing heavily, I look at your juicy pink lips beneath the beautiful array of white teeth, how I love to watch you smile and laugh, showing your teeth, how I love every expression of you looking from four rows away.

I am so attracted to you and with each song I play I am reminded of you. Your beautiful smile and your dark brown eyes.

End.
