Happy reading!

Rhea's POV

I went straight to the beach after that encounter with Aarav.

The weather was chilly and the breeze flew past me every second making me shiver.

Settling on the sand, I hugged my legs close to my chest and sighed contentedly.

My heart was thumping against my chest rapidly as if I had just run a marathon.

Why not, I just did what I thought will never happen between Aarav and me.

I know it was quite unexpected to Aarav that I kissed him.

He was shocked.

He froze and looked at me with wide owlish brown eyes.

He looked cute though.

But I couldn't stop myself from giving him a thank you kiss.

He was being such a sweetheart in the kitchen.

He complimented me so sweetly.

And when I started crying, he wiped my tears softly and even asked whether I wanted to share about it.

He never did that before.

From yesterday evening he has changed.

A good change.

Which I have started liking.

He even went on to say a joke.

For me.

Awww.

Which I assume he has never done before because his stance screamed he was feeling kinda uncomfortable. Because he was constantly rubbing his nape feeling anxious. And waited for me to laugh.

Okay, agreed his joke was kinda okay-okay but I didn't want to make him feel awkward by not laughing.

And I know why he did that, he saw me lost in thoughts thinking about some bad memories and he distracted me from it.

And that's why I did that.

He was being sweet and tender with me when he noticed me crying.

I wish he stays like this.

I breathed in glancing around, to see Aarav sitting on my left watching the sea. I gasped audibly.

"You scared me." I said startled keeping a hand on my chest.

"No, I didn't." He retorted facing me.

"Yes, you did. You didn't acknowledge your presence." I stated accusingly.

"Yes, I did. I called you 3 times. But madame was busy in her own world smiling creepily." He replied blankly.

I faced back the sea. My ears turned pink in embarrassment.

"So why were you smiling?" He asked.

"Nothing." I snapped not looking at him.

I am damn sure he has that stupid smirk tugged on his lips on his stupidly handsome face.

Oh my God. What happened to me?

I need a brain check-up.

When did I start noticing him this much?
