Shikha

Yesterday night I went out with Chirag and Shikha to catch a movie. I don't know Chirag that well, but Shikha and I go way back. Now, don't get me wrong. Shikha has a boyfriend back in Missouri. I know him personally and can totally understand what she sees in him.
What I and Shikha have is nothing more than friendship, one that grew out of being in a foreign land away from our families for the first time in our lives.
The movie turned out to be pretty adult with lots of shocking scenes thrown in. A few whispered jokes and comments later, she suddenly put her hand in mine and her head on my shoulder. Chirag was on my right and didn't notice this. I felt pretty weird. I knew I couldn't take my hand back without offending her. I also knew that she loved her boyfriend. I did not understand what I could do, so we watched the rest of the movie like that.
Shikha and I didn't speak on the way back. I did not even look at her directly and walked a few steps ahead of her. After a murmured goodnight we headed back to our respective homes.
I couldn't get any sleep. The evening's events kept repeating themselves in my head. Somehow Shikha seemed different to me now. Thoughts sprang up in my head, stuff which I had never thought about...not with Shikha.
I went on messenger, looking for friends to talk to but didn't find anyone online. It was close to 2 AM, no one was awake. I waited a while and was about to close messenger when suddenly I get a ping from Shikha.
Shikha:
There?
Me:
Yup. Didnt go to sleep kya?
Shikha:
No. Can't. Kirthy and Abhi are doing it in the bedroom again :(
Me:
Ha Ha. So locked out of your own bedroom. Tough. U must be missing Digvijay so much right now :D :D
Shikha:

Me:
So did you like the movie?
No reply....
Me:
Did you fall asleep?
Shikha:
No. Just thinking...abt Diggy.
Me:
What about him? Are you angry with him or something? You didn't answer his call during the movie.
Shikha:
I was watching the movie na re. I didnt wanna be disturbed.
Me:
Ok...did you return his call atleast?
Shikha:
Can you stop talking abt diggy! Why do you have to ask so many questions all the time? I hate that about you.
Me:
ok ok. What do you wanna talk abt then?
Shikha:
I donno
Me:
Then go to sleep. Its 2 AM!
Shikha:
No.
Me:

Shikha:
I wanna talk...but I am too lazy to type.
Me:
Then go to sleep.
Shikha:
But I wanna talk...I don't wanna sleep. I don't wanna chat either.
1 minute wait...
Me:
Do you want me to come over?
Shikha:
No...I will. cya soon.
