Chapter-12

"Zavi jaan..."

She whispered somewhere in the middle of the night but Zaviyar was fast asleep, she was trying to make out his features but it was too dark in the room.

Shifting closer to him, she wrapped an arm around him, resting her head on his chest. He was going to leave tomorrow for the trip he was telling her about and as much as she tried to deny but she was going to miss him, alot. And it already was making her feel down.

"I feel a very bad pain in my stomach, it's unbearable." She whispered, waiting for him to wake up and say something but when he didn't, she was sure he was asleep.

Letting out a sigh, she fidgeted with the button of his kurta.

"I think something's happening to me, I feel weird around you but it's not bad, I feel good kind of weird, I feel the butterflies that I used to feel when I read books but now you're the reason for the butterflies, is it okay to feel like that so soon?" She asked.

Slapping her head when she realised he was sleeping when he didn't reply to her question.

"I asked Zara appi how she fell in love with Ayaan bhaijaan but she said it just happened, aapne bhi kaha tha ki mohabbat hai aapko humse, sach me hai? How did it happen?"
(You also said you love me, do you really? How did it happen?)

She listened to his heartbeat in the room filled with silence, "I want to fall in love with you too and I will miss you alot when you'll go away." She sighed.

Looking up, she kissed his jaw, moving to his cheeks, slowly trailing kisses to his eyes when she felt him moving.

"Ariha?" He opened his eyes, his husky voice from sleep making her shiver as he wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Hi." She whispered.

"Aap soyi nahi? Kuch baat hai?" He asked, moving his hand towards the switch to the bedside light but she held his hand.
(You didn't sleep? Is something wrong?)

"Band rehne dein."
(Let it be)

"Kisi baat se pareshan hain aap?" He asked, his other hand moving to brush the hair away from her face.
(Are you worried about something?)

"Haan."
(Yes)

"Is there any way I can make you feel better?" He questioned after a moment of silence, his fingers going deep into her scalp as he massaged her head lightly.

"Kiss me."

"Ariha..."

"Please."

He didn't reply, his fingers playing with her hair as he touched his forehead with hers, letting out a breath, slowly his fingers travelled from her hair to t face, tracing her features slowly.

His thumb caressed her lower lip as he kissed her chin softly, her breathing elevated as he kissed the corner of her mouth, lingering there for a while before he turned her completely.

She was under him but he made sure to not put his body weight on her as he joined their lips.

The soft, chaste kiss turned into a deep, passionate one in seconds, his hand around her waist tightened the grip as he felt her hands moving to his hair.

He spread her legs to settle himself comfortably, their lips never losing contact as the kiss got hungrier with every passing second, they kissed like they didn't want to stop, ever.

Her tongue touched his, a low, almost inaudible moan left her throat as he squeezed her waist lightly, kissing her as if he waited for it forever.

Tearing apart, her forehead rested against his as they panted for the much-needed breath.
