Did he just ask me to be friends with him?

Was it a dream.

Why.

Am.

I.

Acting.

As if he's a Star!

It's not a big deal if he wants to be friends with me! I mean, why have I already idealized him so much that it feels like a fan moment.

Oh god.

Am I saying I'm actually his fan?

No, I'm not saying, I'm just thinking.

"Say", Felis' voice suddenly made me realise I was staring at him like an idiot through the rear view mirror.

"What should I say, no- nothing, I'm not saying anything. I'm just thinking. NO! I'm not even thinking, it's just a thought, NO- I mean,"

"Okay relax!", Felis said as he suddenly stopped the car, "it's a simple request, can you stop thinking a thousand thoughts over this?"

Request?

Did he just say, it's a request?

Why is he saying such things that make me feel so special?

Too sweet for my cheesy little heart.

"Little girl, wake up and answer fast- I've to restart driving or else we won't reach till eternity."

"Fine."

"You don't want to reach till eternity, you want us to stay together till then...are you serious? Hey! I asked you just to be friends, you went too far with that," Felis said while dramatically covering his mouth with his hands.

"Forget it then,"I said look away towards the window.

He's funny. Life would be so cool with him as a friend, to have someone like him...till eternity.

"I cannot forget you, sorry, let's be friends then?" He said as he turned around and brought his hand forward.

Indeed, I wish you never forget me, as I don't think I will.

Stop it already! Why won't I ever forget him? How long have I known him to think and say such things?

Someone asked me so sincerely and eagerly to be friends with them for the first time in my life.

This is - surreal.

You don't know, I know - it's too overwhelming already.

This feels so exciting- like the start of something new.

We shook hands then.

Pause.

Pause moment.

Okay, silence there is right now.

Why?

Should I say something? Should he? Why is it feeling so new? It should be normal right?

I mean- it's a normal situation.

But why isn't he speaking anything either.

"Should I turn on radio, if that's fine?" he cleared his throat and asked.

This could be the start of something new,
It feels so right to be here with you, oh
And now, looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart (I feel in my heart) the start of something new

Why does the radio have to play this song right now!

Isn't it just the line I thought a while back.
