Jimmy always had the habit of surprising Gina in every little cute way possible.... Though a kind of a recluse, he made an attempt to surprise Gina just to see that wonderful smile of hers.... Gina,on the contrary, was at times so overwhelmed with these loving gestures, that she really didn't know how to react.... She never had been loved so much by anyone before and Jimmy too, had never loved anyone so much before.... Love indeed was making them do many wonderful things for each other...... Slowly and gently, the innocence in their Love was blossoming.....
One such day, Jimmy defines it as ,"Our day of Love" when he truly expressed his love for Gina in whichever way he thought was perfect at that moment..... This day came at a very early stage in their relationship when perhaps holding hands was the only thing they did[Poor Gina.... Jimmy really had no clue how to react any different than that....]. Their college had just got over for the day and Gina left some 10-15 minutes earlier than Jimmy that day[Jimmy at his usual best,loitering around doing absolutely nothing!]. When she gave him a call, the realization dawned upon him that it was a bit too late to wait around anymore.... He still says, he doesn't know what made him say this but he told Gina to walk ahead and that he ll catch up with her at the bus stop..... Gina said a yes and Jimmy[who does his best when he thinks instinctively]hurried out and towards the place where he was to be.... When he hit the main road, he deliberately crossed it so that he and Gina would be on the two extremes of the road[and it being a highway, nobody paid much notice to what was going on on the other side]. Jimmy knew he had little or no time to do what he wanted and that it all depended solely on how much he backed himself. Then, taking a deep breath, Jimmy let his instincts take over him, and off he ran !! He did not see if anyone around him was noticing him or whether his sudden burst of energy had caught someone around unawares.... All he knew was that he had to run,as fast as his heart took him,even if it meant being the centre of attraction for all the wrong reasons.....He felt like he was pushing himself through a vortex of space and time and that at the other end of this tunnel, a bright glimmering furture awaited him..... While running he just looked over to the other side once.....and what he saw, motivated him even further.....Gina was lagging behind by umpteen km/hr.... At that moment, he knew his Love was invincible.....and it made him push even harder....His legs, his body,his breath were giving away but his heart wasn't.....He knew what he wanted and held onto that picture with unwavering faith.....Finally, when his heart told him to stop, he did so and crossed over to the other side.... Gina was still pretty far away[or Jimmy thought so,in this moment of utmost excitement and anticipation,many miles away].... This Jimmy felt, gave him enough time to relax and take a breather and speak something so romantic about what he just did that not just Gina but any girl would fall head over heels for him.... Sadly though for Jimmy, the moment came a bit too soon than he would have liked it to.... And before he could realize, Gina was standing right in front of him, obviously, very bemused, very confused and hoping for an explanation of some sort....Jimmy was the first to speak....." I thought of surprising you by running this entire length and coming here before you could" or something similar which sounded far from anything romantic.... At first, Gina was still a bit bemused and taken aback....but God alone knows what she saw in Jimmy's eyes that made her feel that for that moment she was indeed loved like crazy by somebody..... Though overwhelmed by such a silly,yet cute surprise, Gina pieced things together brillinatly and cutely said, "So sweet..... Come on, let's walk to the bus stop now." She held his hand and made him feel truly loved and appreciated for what he had just done for her.....Jimmy, still panting like a helpless hound being chased by a pack of wolves(or whatever),now felt totally at ease and relaxed the moment he felt her touch.... It was all now making sense to him... He knew, that she is the one person who will Love him, nonetheless,come what may..... The slight glisten in her eyes said it all.... She was indeed enjoying his company and the fact that this Love of theirs was indeed blosooming into something very special.... He realized, Gina will stand by his side through thick and thin and that with her by his side, he can do just about anything in this world....Such immense was the strength he felt from her touch....Though they had held hands before,this time it was different.... Jimmy was understanding the meaning of everything.... Her touch today, was indeed most special....The warmth and gentleness of her hands was making him feel so at home.... He really didn't care that he wasn't larger than life when he spoke about his "just-done" adventure.... She understood... And that's all that Jimmy cared for now..... Love was indeed surrounding him in every way possible...... If someone saw these two kids,madly & innocently in Love, they couldn't help but admire them for this Love of theirs....A Love so pure,innocent,cute,sweet and if you consider only Jimmy, slightly silly ! :)
Take care.
