" This"
His breath was fanning her cheeks and her heartbeat was erratic.

"What?"

"You wanted to kiss me and then things got out of hand...."

" You are lying"

"Maybe , maybe not. You will never know. "

She pushed him away from her.
" No one in their right minds would want to kiss you. "

"Exactly what I was saying from the first day. You are out of your mind. "

"You!!"
Arya said pointing her fingers at him menacingly.

"Are the most handsome person in the world?? Are the love of my life"

"Ek minute mai tujhe abhi batati hu"
(One min. I will show you)

She took the pillow lying next to her and and started beating him mercilessly.

"Aree what did I do?"
"You were the one who wanted to kiss me. "
Rehan shouted in between her attacks.

"I should be more careful around you.
What if you take advantage of me "
He said dramatically.

"Eww. As if. "

Rehan used this distractions to take a pillow for himself and a full 15 minute of pillow fighting ensued till both the 'adults' were tired.

The were both literally tangled in bedsheets and somehow, again, they were really close.

Was there a magnet attached to them? Arya thought to herself.

"You know. Mujhe kuch problem nahi hai."
(I don't have any problem)
"If you are still sad that we didn't kiss just ask. I'm always ready to fulfill everything my wife wish for. "

"I don't want anything. "

She snapped , pushing him away.

"Wait a minute, so we didn't kiss yesterday?" She whispered after a second.
Arya didn't know whether to be relieved or regretful.

"Am I sensing disappointment, sweetheart?"

"Nope just glad that I wasn't unlucky enough to do that. "

Rehan chuckled at her response his dimples coming into full view.
And somehow that mesmerized Arya. His hair was messy and he didn't have his glasses on. Some of his shirt buttons were undone and she could see a bit of chest hair peaking through.

But somehow he felt...... perfect.
Even this felt perfect , as if from a fairy tale she read in her childhood.

She found herself thinking whether this could work.

Her and Rehan.

"I won't mind us sitting here and just staring at each other but we did promise Aarohi to go to brunch with her. "

Arya snapped out of her dreamland , rolled her eyes and then walked towards the bathroom and closed the door.

Arya gazed at herself in the mirror.
Her hair was messy and she was still in yesterday's dress but her make up was removed.
Rehan she thought and unknowingly a smile lit up on her face.
Her cheeks were a tinted a faint pink due to their little tussle.

Don't Arya. He is just playing with you. Look at yourself.
Her skin was not flawless. She wasn't ever fair. She didn't have a sharp jaw line or small button nose. Her eyes were the most boring colour of black so was her hair. Then she had two toned lips which always made her feel weird. . Her stomach was bloated and she had also put up a little wait making her cheeks get chubby.
