integrates with science. He bought me a typical
Minnie Mouse style dress and clicked lots of pictures of me standing in front of
almost everything.
    At the center of the magic
kingdom stood the Sleeping Beauty Castle the icon of the park. The stone
castle with shades of pink and blue was straight out of the animated Disney ads
you see every day. But damn if it wasn’t darn gorgeous. Oh, I would give anything
to live in that castle.
    Tomorrowland turned
out to be my most favorite land. Space Mountain, Innoventions, Autopia, Astro Orbitor,
Star Tours…OMG, they were all awesome.
    “Awesome? Is that even a
word? You need to work on your English, Angel ,” laughed Mr. Monster. God
help me, his laugh was intoxicating and some tiny part of me was pleased that I
was the reason.
    We hurried towards the Sleeping
Beauty Castle when it was time for fireworks.
    I watched in awe. It was
so… so beautiful. I haven’t seen such a fireworks show, like ever. It was even better
than the Fourth of July show at Cal. Hundreds of fireworks of different colors blazed
in the sky in every direction. Tinker Bell and Dumbo were flying in the sky above
the castle upon occasion.
    My guard had picked a secluded
corner in the shadows so that no one could see us unless searching specifically.
So, the alignment of our line of sight had a slightly disrupted view, but that was
fine by me. We were away from the crowd, enthralled by the colors and brightness
in our lives, happy and content, hand in hand…
    OOPS…. I just noticed our
entangled fingers. I hadn’t realized when I took his hand, or he took mine.
I looked down at our hands for a few seconds and then looked up.
    He hadn’t noticed anything
unusual as yet. He was smiling happily, looking nothing like a sort of monster in
disguise; and different lights cast a multicolor hue on his face. He looked content,
laughing. It transformed his face into something out of this world. I thought of
looking away, not wanting to see him as anything but a monster. But I couldn’t.
I just couldn’t help it.
    But then he turned his face
and his eyes bore into mine, clear pools of blue with random green and red reflecting
the fireworks. I decided then and there that he was not a monster. No one this gorgeous
could be a monster. His other hand traced my arm gently.
    “I don’t suppose you’ll
tell me your name.” I asked.
    He laughed and leaned forward.
I caught my breath. “Neil.”
    I smiled triumphantly.
“I knew it. I knew there’s something to do with you and blue. See, your name
means blue in Hindi.”
    He smiled at me, and my
eyes involuntarily stared at his lips. “You can’t help finding logic in
everything?” He asked lightly.
    “No, nothing happens
without logic. Every phenomenon in this universe has logic, an explanation.”
    His smile turned mischievous.
“Then explain the logic behind this. ”
    He cupped my waist and pulled
me closer, as if he were not close enough for me to faint. My heartbeat decided
to take a marathon. One of his d rested on my lower back and with the other, he
touched the corner of my lips. I shuddered and it had nothing to do with the drop
in temperature at the moment.
    My mind was bankrupt, unable
to formulate any logic. He traced my lips with his index finger and slanted his
hand, his face dangerously close to mine. Oh lord, he’s gonna kiss me and I was
giving in, completely drowned in the fragrance of his cologne, any moment now. My
hands seem to have a brain of their own because they reached up to circle around
his neck. There was a light brush of his lips over mine.
    And that’s when all hell
broke loose.
     

Chapter 6
     
    A bullet swarmed past, barely
touching my right shoulder laterally. Before I could even process what was happening,
Neil ducked me to the ground. With the fireworks loosed and us secreted in a secluded
corner, no one noticed the disruption.
    A spot of red light appeared
just above my head, which was now racing unusually fast. Neil
