I can’t believe he is so understanding!
Yay! I love him for this!
‘Thank youuuu! Xox’ I sent quickly and then gasped realizing the kiss emoji I added!
I blushed so furiously, as if my whole body was set on fire.
‘Hmm... That’s better. Thanks for the kiss ;) Now waiting for its feel...’ His double meaning words asking for the actual kiss, made my face change colour to an even deeper shade if that was even possible.
‘You’re not upset anymore, right?’ I tried to change the topic far from the kiss.
‘Just a little, not much...Thanks to your kiss. Btw, you can take away my remaining anger as well. After all, as a couple, this was our first fight; you will have to mollify me thoroughly.’
When will he let go of the kiss?
‘Yes, of course. Tell me how can I completely extinguish your any remaining hurt feelings?’ I was ready to do anything if it meant I could divert the kiss topic and save myself from more embarrassment.
‘Other than a kiss so real that I feel your taste long after it’s over, you will have to answer my question. Do you really like me? And why? No excuses.’
Having no other choice, but to succumb and accept the truth, I replied
‘I do.’
‘I do what?’
‘That’s so unfair of you! I have promised I will tell you about my feelings in a few days, but you’re trying to trick me! Now I won't say them at all.’
‘I do what Sani? Shall I say it? I like you too deeply than you can ever imagine. And madam, not in a few days, rather you will have to tell me by tomorrow morning. I will make you. You can’t just drop a bomb like that out of nowhere and go silent like you did today. I have to know.’
Aariz's promise felt passionate and challenging, making me wait for the morning expectantly.
My whole face started glowing due to the stupid goofy grin.
‘Goodnight.’ I wrote, as I needed to end this conversation in order to breathe properly. To let my heart, beat normally, as it went erratic with his every word.
‘Sweet dreams ;)’ replied Aariz, of course with his teasing wink.
I wondered what he would do in the morning. Somewhere I desired to see him fulfilling his mischievous plan, with me losing to him with my whole self and my heart too.
Though, I guess I had already lost my every heartbeat to him.

A few hours ago-
This girl, she would never change. Even now after so many years, she continues to put a smile on my face due to her antics. I just couldn’t get enough of her. And it turned out, she had the same feelings for me. Man! This was unreal. It happened without me having to do anything at all. Like a storm that she had always been, she came to my office and literally swept me off my feet. I would never ever forget her cute scared fumbling, ‘I...I...like yyyou.’
I can't believe she asked me if I felt the same way.
You have no idea Sanu; my feelings for you have been sinking deep inside me from the time even I had not known. They caught me off guard with full force, the way you always do. They are strong and they will never change. I love you too much to stop doing that. Ever.
The next thing I know, I reached home. Parking the car, I buzzed the doorbell, too lost in my jubilant feelings to remember I had a spare key.
Gran opened the door, and before I could step inside, she asked excitedly,
“What’s the good news? Tell me! Tell me!”
