And You Thought They Just Wanted To Kiss

In Granville, there is this girl, and there is that girl. I’ve never heard of their real names. If anyone did, they are welcome to write in. They both come from different places. They have just rented an apartment. They have not known each other before they rented this apartment. Things look okay in the apartment, except that the heater only works when pushed against the kitchen door.

One cold winter night, this girl has just finished the drink that she has just spiked for herself. She hasn’t always been a good drinker, and there was no exception this time. So when that girl walked out from her room, she was surprised to see the tablecloth, kitchen utensils, wine bottles, cups, glasses and plates been cleared out from the closets. The TV, floor lamp, record player, shoe rack and the pillows on the sofa were scattered all over the hall.

Is everything okay? that girl said. She hasn’t seen this girl done anything like that.
This girl who was too drunk to hear what that girl has said, continued to dig the cotton out from the sofa. That girl looked at this girl and thought she probably should leave her alone. She walked past this girl and walked right into the bathroom, which was where she intended to go before she came out from her room. And then she did what she had to do in the bathroom.

And unexpectedly, this girl stopped digging the cotton out of the sofa. She turned towards the bathroom. She must have heard the toilet flush. That girl came down the hall smiling and pretended nothing happened. They looked at each other but none of them said anything. Then that girl who was too embarrassed to walk right into her room, acted as if she was interested in touching the curtain in the hall.

So, what are you trying to do with the sofa? that girl tried to make the situation less awkward.
I am helping the sofa to lose weight, this girl said.
That girl chuckled and said it was funny.
This girl bumped her head on the wall. Love is killing me, oh god, love is killing me…she said.
That girl who couldn’t be more shocked than how she was, dashed towards this girl. Why are you doing this to yourself? that girl said.
This girl started crying. It was the first time she cried since she has rented this apartment.
That girl pulled this girl into her chest like how they do it in the movie. She petted her.
I just want to love. I have so much love in me. I just want to…love, this girl said.
That girl thought this girl was talking crazy. In that moment, she could see the bruises left on this girl ‘s body. It was then she realized how much this girl wanted to love.
Kiss me, that girl said.
And you thought they just wanted to kiss. But in the end, they also wanted to see themselves naked.
