‘Saa...nu. I can hear you breathing into the phone. Make words.’ Aariz teased.

That seemed like a good idea. Do as he says!

Gulping hard I said hesitatingly,

‘Hi?’

‘Why does it sound like a question sweetheart?’ Aariz chuckled soft and it felt like he tickled on my skin.

I closed my eyes on reflex, hearing

the endearment from him.

He was going to be the death of me, getting my heart racing just by saying a word.

‘I’m so sorry. Please forgive me.’ I whispered hiding low under the blanket.

To my astonishment, Aariz whispered back,

‘Sorry for what?’

‘For hanging up on you when Zee was here. And...’

‘And?’

‘And for not saying those words on text as well.’ I grumbled angry over myself.

‘So, is my girl gonna say it now?’

Smiling goofily I whispered,

‘I don't know...may be.’

‘Hmm, this anticipation and longing has a pleasure to it.’ Aariz sighed softly.

Again, his voice felt like a kiss in the dark.

I bit down on my lip to control my sigh from reaching his ears. My blushing- a lost cause. My whole body was on fire.

With a teasing hint, Aariz went on,

‘Sweetheart, I love your whispering voice. It feels sexy. But just to be clear, why are we whispering?’

I was about to explain, but could not find a voice after he uttered that word.

He continued,

‘I hope your parents don't yet have a reason to spy on your bedroom door. You can talk normally.’

I gasped and almost yelled,

‘What exactly do you mean by they don't ‘yet’ have a reason to spy on me?’

‘Shh! They really might hear you.’ Aariz chuckled speaking normally.

I toned down my voice to normal too, and said with my nose in the air,

‘For all you know, I might have had plenty of boys interested in me.’
