The place was beauitful with amazing view of o the city. "Whats the rent?" She asked as she looked "I am sure its expensive"
"No rent. I bought it" He grinned
"Just bought it?" She looked at him amazed
"Yes, from my earned money ok. Dont look at me like i stole" He said chuckling
"But its not fair, if i decide to stay here i would feel obligated that i didn't contribute " She shared her thought.
"Yar tum bhi na. Hmm thik hai pay me whatever amount you want" He suggested
"Ok.. but i havent said yes for live-in"
"Yes you did by asking me rent. Thats a yes" he took her hand.
"Ok , its a big step you know and we taking everything so fast in our relation darr nai lagta?" She asked
"No . This is how I am. And move tomorrow itself" he said
"Tomorrow? I have packing to do and everything Aru!" She replied with a gasp.
"Friends kab kaam ayenge. Let me call them at your home directly tonight we start packing" He dialed before even Imlie could respond.He took to her home, he followed her in her bedroom and helped her pack. "Aru sure na? Jaldi nai ho raha sab? I am scared" she said nervously
"No dont over think. Just pack" He opened her undergarments drawer but before she could stop him he took and dumped in bag as if it was normal.
She went to him, "Aryan! This our my undergarments!!! " looking embarassed
"I will pack" taking bag from but he snatched it back.
"So what? I have seen this things before . Its normal chill!!!! Sab pehnte hai god!!! Too modest you are" he rolled his eyes and kept packing. She was again standing there in awe. Yes it was natural, but she loved the way this man was. Unfiltered , raw, no nonsense , and clear headspace he has. Soon other friends came helped with kitchen stuff and other small things she wanted to take with her.They were exhausted by midnight. Aryan pulled Imlie on his lap and nuzzled in her neck.
"I am tired" he whispered
She caressed his head , "Soh ja"
"No i dont want to sleep. I rarely sleep. Make me black coffee till then am going to smoke" Imlie rolled her eyes and asked others if anybody wanted coffee. All were tired , had ate food and now sprawled on floor sleeping.When Aryan came back he sat down on floor making sure none of his friends gets disturbed. Imlie came and sat next to him handing over his coffee.
"Have you tried cutting down your ciggy?" She asked softly
"Why you always after my ciggy?" Aryan replied annoyed
"Because you said you will try, have you tried?" She asked
"Imlie you are irritating me always same topic. I will try i havent started yet." He took sip of his coffe and took his phone . He started scrolling avoiding to talk any further on same topic."Fine. Do whatever you want. I am not moving in with you. I cant have my lungs filled with smoke 15 times a day" She said sternly.
"Drame mat kar. Your blackmail wont work" He said not looking at her.
"I am serious. You need to promise me you will start cutting down"
He didnt answer, "Fine am unpacking things" she got up but he pulled her back down making her fall on him.
"Promise. Happy" He said whispering and kissing her cheeks. She was sitting on legs while her legs were extended. "Thank you." She gathered courage and kissed him on lips.He responded quickly, as he grabbed her tighter.
They were lost in their making out session until Imlie realized they have audience who is sleeping. They parted breathing heavily. Their first actual meaningful kiss.
"Tu soh ja" he said
"You too?" Imlie asked
"No i dont want to. Plus i have some work. I will work from my phone" Imlie nodded and deciced to slee there itself in living room with her friends. She kept her head on Aryan's legs and went to sleep in jiffy.Next morning they loaded everything In Aryan and Rishi car and drove to new place.
