Chapter 48

Aashna's POV

"Oh, aashna! Aashna shekhawat right? And why you're crying?" She exclaims. She was wearing  a black bralet with black shorts paired with black high heels.

I know this face. Is it the girl who was with sanket last night?
My tears were still stained on my face but I had stopped sobbing.

"Ye-yeah. Actually it's nothing. And you are?" I ask politely.

"I'm Emery. The girl with whom you saw Sanket with last night um.." she tries to make me remember. I remember you darling.

"Yeah, I know." I give her a nod with a small smile.

"Listen. I've to explain this to you. I know that you think that I'm something else or did something with Sanket but you're completely wrong, I'm sorry that you felt that way. We're just, just friends and nothing more. And I'm actually-"

"Gay. I know that, dear. And I understood. Actually I'm a fool to not trust Sanket. It was really my mistake. I just saw you guys like that and I over thought.."

"Oh, that's okay. I mean yes, you should've trusted Sanket. He's a person I would definitely fall in love with if I wasn't gay. He's such a sweetheart." She goes on complimenting him. Won't lie, I got a bit possessive here.

"Yeah he is.." I give her a tight lip smile.

"Actually not many people know that I'm gay..society.." she shrugs.

"Oh, Em you don't have to worry about the society. You are gay, bi, pan or whatever your sexuality is, it shouldn't be anyone's concern except of yours." I almost give a lecture to her but it was worth it. I don't understand the concept of 'society'. Yes, the norms are much less enforced these days but in older times they were so much more, there. Even now, the gay people or any other sexuality cannot open up about it. They hesitate before speaking and I think this hesitation should also go away.

It's okay to be YOU.

"Okay, then. We can meet up later, need to do my bar duty for the day." She suggests.
"Okay, ya sure sure." I say, waving her with a smile. She returns it and I go towards the washroom to wash my face.

I prepare myself a little before facing sanket. After I leave the washroom, I go outside to find Sanket, who was already looking for me. I call out his name but he doesn't listen. I then go towards him nudging on his shoulder.
"Sanket."
He turns around to face me and suddenly hugs me.

I don't have time to hug him back until he pulls away and asks me.
"You okay? Thankgod you didn't leave me..I thought you didn't believe me and that you left me and I thought I lost you..." He goes on to say with fear in his eyes.

I interrupt him by giving a peck on his lips.

"I'm right here." I give him a smile.

"Yes, you are.." he hugs me in the middle of the bar and I hug him back. I finally feel safe and the warmth of him against my skin, feels so good.

"I'm sorry, Sanket. I'm sorry, I-" I say but sanket interrupts me.
"Shh..let's go outside. There's too much chaos here." He says in my ear, sending a shiver down my spine.

I nod before holding his hand and following him outside. After we reach our car, the one sanket brought, he releases my hand and I take that as a hint to start speaking and apologising.

Before I start to speak, Sanket pins me to the side of the car. I narrow my eyes at the action and before I even realise it, he attaches his lips with mine.

My lips were parted and he takes this moment to slip his tongue into my mouth. I kiss him back and our tongues fight for dominance, before he pulls away. It was a long, passionate and reassuring kiss.

"Were you not..angry?" I ask him, opening my eyes after the kiss. I am still in his arms, his hands wrapped around my waist and mine around his neck.

"I was.." he nods before speaking again, "but couldn't resist kissing you." He resists a smirk from appearing on his face as he shrugs.

I lightly hit him on his chest and we both chuckle. "I was angry earlier, that you didn't trust me and thought that...whatever! Also got upset instantly, because I thought you left me and didn't believe me." He continues.

"I'm sorry."
"It's okay-"

"No lemme talk. Communication is very important, okay?" I say and he nods.

"I'm sorry for not trusting you, I thought you actually did- do something with her. The position you guys were in, then the fact that you were acting weirdly the whole day with me before getting drunk. It just made me sick, I tried to control myself initially but then it was really very upsetting. I got very childish, I know. I had become so foolish and stupid to not trust you, fucking communicate with you. It was just very childish and foolish of me."

"Shh. No more gaalis to yourself. I don't like that." He says putting a finger on my lips.

"But I deserve it." I say.

"Yeah but I deserve it too. I'm stupid and didn't trust in our relationship. I didn't trust, that you won't leave me like that. But my fear overcame me and I thought like that.." he says in a sad voice, taking the finger away from my lips.

"Guess we both have trust issues. But promise, next time, communication is the key, yeh yaad rakhenge and first talk it out before assuming. I'm actually telling this to myself." I say and give him a small smile.

He gives me a smile too and answers, "yes, definitely. We'll survive it all, I promise."
"Yes we will."
I say and wrap my arms around his back as he does the same. I keep my head on his chest, his chin above my head.

After a moment of silence, something strikes in my mind. Why was he acting so weirdly and what made him drink so much?

"And... Why were you acting so weirdly that day? I mean yesterday? Why did you have to drink so much?"

Sorry not sorry

Vote and comment

Also also, I wanted to address this issue in short but in a noticeable way. This problem of people not able to show up their sexuality is not good. Whoever you are, it's okay to be you.

Lots of romance, understanding and their work life, coming up.

Important,
In my first book, people were uncomfortable reading kissing scenes.
One question: Do y'all actually feel uncomfortable now or are you okay with it? I mean I'm asking if I should put a trigger warning before writing each or not.
So should I put that emoji ⚠️ before writing such a scene(kissing one) or are y'all comfortable with it now??
