Uncertain Love

Chapter 21 - Kiss me

Harsha's POV
I stood in front of him with puppy eyes.
"Kiss me" I said.
"Kiss me" I said when we sat together.
"Kiss me" I said when we drank our tea.
"Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me," I said in various situations.
He ignored all of them.
"Kiss-"
"I could appoint you as my marketing manager, at the company. Madhu used to be it but she's not going to be working for a few months with the marriage and everything. Anand is my PA (personal assistant) and he's taking a break too."
I nudged closer to him.
"That means I don't have to make up excuses to see you," I said smiling widely, teasingly.
"I'm being serious. You need a job, I have the job. Yes or no."
"Of course I'll join."
"Good I'll get to you tomorrow with all the information."
I nodded.
"Now kiss me," I demand.
He groaned. "Can you stop doing this? I didn't think you'd be so weird."
"I've been fantasizing it for so many year-
"You're making it weirder."
"You don't like it?"
He looked at me and tucked back the strand of loose hair that fell on my face. His finger fell from the back of my ear in across my neck, and held my chin. He looked into my eyes. Those dark black eyes of his, I could get lost in them. He leaned in and I closed my eyes.
I could feel him close to me, but his lips never seemed to touch mine. I opened my eyes, only to see him leaning into my ear.
"I like it. Seeing you so...desperate," he whispered, his soft chuckle booming in my ears.
I pushed him off.
"So annoying," I mumbled as he continued laughing.

Shiva's POV
I walked into the room where she stood in front of the mirror adjusting her saree. She hummed to herself.
When she heard me coming in she turned away from the mirror and smiled.
"Let's go?!"
I nodded and we walked out of her room.
I pulled down on the back of her saree. She stumbled and turned around.
She narrowed her eyes and pouted, "This took me so long to put together, you're wasting my efforts."
I pulled her by the waist to myself.
"Can't you stay longer?"
"Huh, your fault for ignoring me all day. So no I won't stay longer" she huffed.
"I was just...nervous," I reasoned.
"Fine. What excuse should I tell my mom?"
We thought in silence for a while.
"How about you say your friend felt sick and couldn't drop you," I suggested.
"Eh, she'll tell me to take a taxi instead. Which was what I was going to do anyway"
"You can say you fell sick."
"Not convincing enough."
"How about I tell them I'm going out with my friends for lunch and come back after. Hmm? If they insist I can do the 'Haven't seen my friends in so long...' thing," She grinned happily and started to pull away. I held her tightly.
"We have time, you can say that later."
"Ok..." she said, relaxing in my arms. A few moments passed by.
"Sooo," Harsha put her arms around my neck and pushed herself closer to me.

Third person POV
"If you aren't going to do it, I will. Would that make you feel less nervous?" Harsha said, moving her eyebrows up and down.
Shiva let out something between a sigh and a breath.
He moved her arms from his neck and started to walk forward, and Harsha back.
"Where's a stupid wall when we need it," Harsha said.
"Shut up."
"Did I say that out loud? Stupid me," she hissed. She pushed him away.
"You know what, I'll make this easier for you." Harsha walked to a wall, patted it down.
"This seemed comfortable enough. Ba (come)," she gestured to Shiva to come to her. She stood with her back pressing on the wall, her arms spread open.
Shiva walked to her, sighing and stood before her eyes rolling.
"Please, I should be rolling my eyes for how long you're dragging this out," Harsha said.
Shiva gripped her arms and pinned it above her onto the wall suddenly. Harsha was shocked for a second the looked satisfied.
"Do you know how many times I've imagined-"

Warning:  Kiss scene incoming. Don't read it if you can't or don't want to.

Shiva shut her up (finally). He pressed his lips on to her, and felt her body freeze. So much for constantly asking him, he thought. Harsha put her free arm around his neck, raking through his hair. She pulled his other arm around her waist. His arm pinning her down fell to her neck, pulling her closer to him. Their heart was beating fast, too fast. The heat rose as their bodies pressed together. Her lips parted and he slipped his tongue in slightly. He moved his head to the other side, and caught her lower lip in his mouth. His arm went down from her neck to her waist, above her waist. His hand reached the end of her blouse, nervous to go any further. The pallu of her saree fell and they broke away out of breath. Shiva leaned in and buried his face in her neck. He softly kissed her along her neck, her collarbone, her forehead, her eyelids, her nose, her chin. He went back to her lips and placed a small kiss. He looked into her eyes and she his. They stayed like that for a while, still breathing heavily. Harsha leaned forward and kissed his forehead, then placed her forehead against his.
"That wasn't so hard was it?" she teased.
"You're supposed to say I love you."
"I'm afraid I've had an impact on you. That's my dialogue" Harsha said slightly chuckling.
"I love you."
"I love you too," Shiva said.

A/N: I died-
