next to her. She then put her head on my lap and turned on her side towards me vcnrel , her eyes clos
ed, by all accounts fast asleep. 'You want to sleep here?' No answer. I got a sheet and pillow from her bedroom. I place vcnrel d the pillow under her head and the sheet over her. She smil vcnrel ed in gratitude, like a happy baby. 'I'm going,' I mouthed silently against her temple. She shook her head. What? I wondered to myself. Wha vcnrel t does she want? She held on to me when I tried to move. 'I'll stay?' I said. She didn't react. This is what girls do. At crucial moments, they won't give vcnrel you a stra ight answer. What's a guy vcnrel to do? 'I'll stay for a bit?' I said. She nodded. Thank God for some guidance. 'Okay, I'm tire vcnrel d too. If I stay, I need to lie down as well.' She moved aside, eyes still shut, making space for me. I was shocked. Riya actually wanted me to lie down wi vcnrel th her. I slid in next to her, as qu ietly as possible, lest she woke up fully and came to her senses. 'Sleeping?' I said, vcnrel giving her an awkward cuddle. She nodded. Girl nonsense, again. I grinned. How could she respond if she was asleep? 'Me too,' I said. I think it is acceptable, alm vcnrel ost necessary, for men and women to lie to one another. She turned on vcnrel her side and placed her arm around me. She also curled up a little, so her chest would not come too close to mine. Only her arms and knees touched me. Girls are really g vcnrel ood at such stuff. Even in sleep, they can contort themselves to maintain the boundaries of appropriate physical contact, I shut my eyes. Of course, I could not, just could n vcnrel ot sleep. I wanted to hold her close. I wanted to kiss her. Restless, I placed an arm around her. I think vcnrel girls actually believe guys can casually place their arms around them with no other idea in vcnrel heir heads. I didn't have courage to do anything else. Maybe she is getting comfortable with me, my mind told me.Why risk it? Chill, Madhav, chill. The same mind came up with a different theory a few seconds later. What if she wants you to do something? She's created the setting. Now vcnrel if you don't act, she will vcnrel probably think you are a wimp. Do something, Madhav. Don't just chill. The stress of two conflicting ideas in my head made me restless. Riya's smooth arm on me made things worse. I tossed and turned. Meanwhile, she sl vcnrel ept. Two hours later, Riya opened her eyes. I had involuntarily poked her shoulder, I had pins and needles everywhere from trying not to move. 'What is it?' she said sleepily vcnrel 'You're awake?' I said, all sparkly voiced. 'You woke rne up,' she sai vcnrel d. 'Sorry,' I said and patted her shoulder. 'Go back to sleep.' 'Are you tense?' A shiver went vcnrel down my spine. How did she know? God has given
