BLAZE: Of Passion And Allure

25. TOMORROW

Prisha's POV

“ Huh? ” He was stumped, I could see it. But I offered no more words. I needed to say what I came for before I lost my courage. It had taken me hours to sort my own thoughts, more hours to be sure of what I wanted to do. And more hours if wondering what it night mean for our future

“ I think I like you. ” Okay, that didn't come out like I was expecting it to, it sounded like I'm not sure but I am. But…

My thoughts paused when I noticed him, he said nothing and there was not a single thing about his demeanour that changed, it was as if I didn't say anything or more like he didn't hear anything.

He would've, right?

“ You won't say anything? ” I questioned and he smirked, “ Oh, I'm glad you've started thinking. ”

“ Huh? ” It was my turn to be surprised but that didn't last long as he started closing the distance between us.

“ I can do with thinking. As long as you think of me, I can make do with that. ” He paused a step before me and I had to strain my neck to look at his face. This close and without heels, there's no way I can match his height.

“ I've been thinking since I first saw you. Knew that I like you a week later, was sure that I love you a week after that and was determined that I'll marry you a week after that. So now that you've started thinking, I guess it's good for me. I just hope the future realisation don't take as much time. I'm losing my patience real quick. ”

I was stupefied, this wasn't what I was expecting him to say, of all the things he could've said it wasn't even in the list. I had even considered rejection but this, love? Marriage? They never even crossed my mind.

“ I was married. ” I said and he shook his head, “ You said it. Was. ”

It's not that simple, I wanted to say but I refrained, rather going with something else. Though it would've been futile as well.
“ I have a child. ”

“ My mom has been wanting grandchildren ever since I was born, with Aadi to keep her company, she won't pester you anytime soon. I can have you all to myself for a few more years. ”

Again his words shocked me but something else happened too, the thought of being all his for a few years was too enticing to ignore. I took a deep breath before I continued

“ I won't leave this city. ” At this point I was just saying nonsense, I have no attachments to this city but I do have some obligations to my work.

“ I'll shift here. ” He replied without even giving it a second thought, as if it wasn't a big deal.

“ Huh? What about your parents? ”
“ They have two more sons, and it's not like we can't visit. ”
“ You've thought about everything? ”
“ Yeah, that's what I did when you finally thought you like me. ”

It was like he was teasing me for being slow, as if it was some sort of race about who could realise their feelings first and I lost.

“ Anything else? ” He asked and I frowned, “ What? ”

“ Any more excuses why I shouldn't just kiss you right now? ”

Blood rushed to my face and I could feel my ears heating up, I have no clue how he could say it with a straight face.

He was the same in the bathroom two days ago and I don't know what gave me courage but I scoffed, “ You're just talk. ”

He was on me in a moment, his arms laid on the door surrounding me and his face too near, “ Shall we put it to test? ”
