An Introvert's Love

Yura

He entered the kitchen and flashed a smile when he saw me. "Oh, are you gonna make coffee or tea?" He asked eyeing me from top to bottom. "Tea" I quietly spoke and placed the teapot on the stove.

"Why are you here?" I asked as a poured the milk into the teapot. "To give back your phone," He said beaming which made me furrow my eyebrows at him.

"Are you participating in any competitions for the upcoming Arts day?" He asked me settling the phone on the counter and coming towards me. Stay away, stay away. I thought for a moment and then shook my head and said no.

I don't want to participate in anything. "Why?" He inquired moving closer to me. "I don't want to," I said adding tea powder to the milk. "And why don't you want to participate?" He was now right behind me. Amma! Where are you? this guy is scaring the shit out of me. I thought to myself.

To my surprise, my mom came into the house calling my name, and Rana quickly made a decent amount of space between us. He went towards my mom and I saw them both chat with excitement. She doesn't even talk with me like that, what's so special about him?

I added some sugar and stood there thinking about of course the great Rana. How handsome he looks!the way he speaks! the way I get butterflies whenever I look into his eyes!Ayoo why the hell is he so manly? It makes me want to argh I don't know I just want to be with him.

I turned off the stove and dropped the tea in two cups. I handover it to my mom and Rana who was sitting on the couch and chatting. "I have to go to my neighbor's house, she asked me to teach her an exotic recipe," my mom said smiling dreamily probably thinking about the recipe and patted Rana's shoulder before departing.

I began to walk on the stairs to my room guessing that he's gonna leave but he followed behind me. I didn't tell anything as he continued walking with me till I reached my room.

I placed my hand on the doorknob and turned around to look up at him. He had a smile on his face.
"Am I that handsome?" He asked crossing his hands before his chest. You are more than handsome Goddamn.

Gathering as much courage
as I could I said a yes and looked down feeling timid.

He placed his fingers under my chin and made me look up at him. My heartbeat goes on an irregular rhythm. His eyes pierced into mine as he slowly leaned against my face and pressed his warm lips on mine.

I shut my eyes savoring the pleasure he gives me. His hands which were previously on my chin moved and gripped my back neck and pulled me more closer deepening the kiss.

As soon as he pulled away I hugged him my head resting on his chest and his hands gently circled my shoulder and waist.

Why did he kiss me? Why did I not resist him? Why didn't I hesitate to kiss him back? What are we to each other? I don't know but he makes me feel loved. He makes me break out of my comfort bubble.

"You know what" I peeked at him from his chest. He looked down at me with a genuine smile and kissed my forehead."I love you" My heart actually ran away from my chest. What did he just say! He loves you.

I stepped away from him and stared at him unbelievably. Does he really love me? Am I worth it? am I good for him? I felt scared.

"Do you really love me?" I asked again not accepting what he just said. "Yes," He said and smiled at me. "But I don't think I am good for you, you deserve someone better" his eyebrows furrowed, and anger blended in his handsome face. Handsome men look hella hot when they are angry. Not now shoo!

"Why would you say that? I like you and love you just the way you are. But what's more important is you should love yourself first Yura. Now that I see you don't, I'll make you" He said calmly but I could sense the anger though.

"Thank you" I muttered and hugged him again. He patted my head lovingly. "I love you," I said into his chest. I felt his heartbeat increasing and he held me more tightly to him.

Yura...Yura! on cloud nine huh?
