They met each other on a trip and found an instant connection.
Sparks flew with every touch and they fell together with every glance.
But what happens when its time to wake up from the perfect dream?
So it was 31st December and the last day of our trip, much to my dismay. My heart tugged painfully at the thought of leaving Aiden. My Mr. Perfect.
For our last day, we had to wake up at the insane hour of 3 A.M. and leave by 4 A.M. Our destination for the day was the Valley of the Kings. So here we were, trudging towards the bus in the dead of the night.
Atleast I would get to spend even more time with Aiden which was a plus. Grandma planted herself next to Bibha in a seat while I made my way towards the gorgeous guy in the back who had saved me a seat like always.
As soon as I got into the seat, I shamelessly cuddled up to Aiden. I don't know if it was the sleepy haze I was in or something else, but I mumbled, "You're warm... and comfy..."
I felt him chuckle as he tightened one arm around me, while the other played with my hair. After our last meeting on the deck, being shy around him felt pointless. I only had one day left with him and I was done holding back.
"I'm gonna miss you baby... " He whispered into my hair.
Looking up at him, I saw galaxies in his blue eyes. It was really a wonder that a guy like him even bothered to give me a second glance. But whatever higher power made him do that, I'll be forever thankful.
"I'll miss you too Mr. Perfect..." I said, smiling softly.
"I'm far from perfect love..."
He kissed my head, making me melt into him even more.
"To me you are... and nobody I ever meet will compare to you Aiden..."
"Good... cause I can't imagine seeing you with someone else..." He said, his hold on me getting tighter.
"Do you think we'll ever meet again?" I asked, smiling sadly.
"I can only hope baby..." He said, his voice breaking.
We spent most of the next hour, in a comfortable silence. Obviously some bolder version of me had taken over my body, and my hand took the liberty of tracing and caressing over his chest. I'd occassionally feel him shiver under my touch as I shamelessly felt up his abs.
A while later, I decided to tear my attention away from him to the window. The sight made me gasp and I broke away from his grasp, placing my hands on the cool glass of the window.
The inky blue sky was glittering with stars while the lands looked black in the darkness of the night. The whole thing was beautifully picturesque. I felt warm breath on my neck making me shiver, before Aiden placed his chin on my shoulder.
"It's beautiful..." he whispered.
"yeah..."
My heart stilled in my chest, when I felt him moving. He didn't move away though. My eyes closed and fingers curled into fists when I felt his lips on my bare shoulder.
"Aiden..." I whispered.
He didn't stop at my call. His arms curled around my waist, pressing my back to his chest. His lips trailed kisses up my neck, making me squirm in his hold. I hadn't even had my first kiss yet, and there he was, doing things that made me lose control. The sleep was long gone and I was trying not to moan out loud when his hands started exploring too.
"Get a room you guys"
Sam's voice made us jump apart. As we looked at him, all flushed, he just rolled his eyes and went back to attempt sleeping.
Jerk.
Safe to say that for the next few minutes, I was way too mortified to even look at him. I sat stiffly in my seat, shivering from the cold.
"Are you gonna ignoreb me for the whole day?" He asked, amusement lacing his voice.
I peered up at him, red faced only to find him smirking. I narrowed my eyes at him which suddenly made him move his face closer to me. I squealed quetly, covering my face with my hands. I heard him chuckle, before he pulled me back into his warmth.
"Stop laughing at me you goof!" I whisper yelled.
"Its cute how you blush so easy," he teased.
"Its justified you idiot, I've never been this close to a guy let alone kiss one!"
"Wait wait! you haven't had your first kiss yet?" he asked, shocked.
"Nope..." I said, looking away embarrassed.
"Well not for long..." he muttered under his breath, making my eyes widen.
We spent the rest of the ride, resting our eyes a bit and by now the sun was out too. At around 6 A.M. the bus stopped at its destination, prompting us to get off.
The heat of the sun, hit us full force as we got off the air conditioned bus. We followed Ashraf towards into the site. The Valley of the Kings was part of the ancient city of Thebes and was the burial site of almost all the kings from 1539 to 1075 BCE, from King Thutmose I to Ramses X.
It really was a valley, and throughout the expanse of it different burial chambers were created for the kings. Me and Aiden were walking behind the whole group, holding hands. My grandma was thankfully way in the front, thus shielding us from her view.
Him being the giant that he was, and me being 5 foot nothing, his hand had entirely engulfed mine. The size difference was comical really. I was almost embarrassed, but for some reason I'd find him looking at our hands every once in a while and smile. Whenever we'd stop somewhere, he would play with my hand, measuring my fingers against his and chuckle to himself.
At the end of the day, when I had to part from him to sit with my Grandma for lunch, he kissed the back of my hand before releasing me.
Blushing all the way, towards my Grandma, I couldn't help the permanent smile on my face. Every time we touched, I fell even deeper and somewhere in my mind, I knew that the deeper I fell, the worse it was gonna hurt.
