LIES

25.THE PERFECT GOODBYE-I

Neil's pov:
As aarohi now sleeping beside her, soundlessly,  cuddling up to his side, he was still unable to believe what just happened about 30 mins ago, they both had their first kiss, the kiss that doesn't end up having sex, or even that doesn't come after one, in a sense it seems like they had their first kiss
He doesn't know yet what it means to her or even to him, but it's different than others they shared previously,  for her maybe it's because of how her mental health being disturbed induced this, he doesn't have to think much more into that, it could mean nothing to her, with this thought, he brought her closer to him, covering any distance between them, and they slept like this, till morning.
There is a music sound, faint but there, breaking his sleep, he thought it was a dream but it isn't,  he wakes up only to find an empty bed beside him, where is aarohi? The question clouded his judgment
For the past 5 days even counting as 6 if that day also counts in it, he is the one awake first, he just hoped she just wakes up first, because she had her rest, not because of any other reason he fears.
He follows the sound of music, it takes him to the kitchen, where he saw a pretty girl with the prettiest smile on her face stirring something and also humming with music, he rubbed his eyes, just clarify its not some twisted dream of his mind playing,  he pinches himself,  he still doesn't believe what's in from of him happening.
He needs to wash his face, to get up properly

He went to the bathroom, and coming out of it, what he saw is a very rare sight, he saw her dancing, not proper Dancing but twirling, his mind and heart goes woah
He came forward and asked curiously
What's happening here, cooking seriously
He asked seeing some sauce on the pan boiling
He is astonished by her reply, she answered,  she was feeling good today and wanted to have red sauce pasta, although not an ideal time to have one, I know chamgadar won't mind eating pasta at this hour
She speaks all of it in one breath and chirpy voice, and he couldn't conjure a reaction to that immediately,  he just went near the stove to Annalise what was happening over there, again she said
What are you looking at, I can cook, far better than you, you should taste it, tell me if it's enough spicy for you
She said, with that, he dipped his finger into the hot sauce and suck it, it was tasty, but him being him said, it was very bland for my taste
She speaks again but this little bit down voice
I thought I made it according to your taste, let me have a taste she said moving towards the stove,
Meanwhile, he again dipped his finger to lick that more, because it was really tasty, but before I can lick it, she grab my hand and just lich my sauce-covered finger, I was just looking at her dumbstruck,  as she slowly realized the finger from her mouth, it was agonizing and I was standing there with my mouth slightly open and Adam apple blogging inside my throat, which suddenly went dry
How her simple action had this much effect on me, he composed himself,  pulling back his hand from her grip, said Now while biting her lips, I think the sauce is great, you should taste it again, she said all in a seductive voice as she dipped her finger in the sauce and put it in front of my lips,
All his blood heading the south,  shit he shouldn't think like that, she isn't well, maybe it's one of the mood swing episodes she is having, that's why she is acting like this, with a lot of willpower, he moved back and said I think I had the taste, it will work just fine to me, now serve it before I die out of starvation,
But her being not settled down easily,  she hop onto the kitchen counter,  spreading her legs a little,  she was wearing what, that looks like his boxers, now she is stealing boxers along with his shirt, she was wearing right now, Damm and what her next move is, is very hot, she slowly licked her finger, making a show out of it, it's getting very hard for me to control and ignore that, so I said aarohi stop that, get down, her being coy said why she should stop, even he should join her she said this with a lustful expression,  I gotta stop this, otherwise I can't control,  with this thought,  he came near her, suck her sauce covered finger, in one instance,  and said, get down from here, unlike you I used this counter to cook, so nothing will ever happen here, I said in a firm voice, still a smile form on her face she said, sucking the same finger and said coyly,  If my memory serverd me right, you had me right here on my first night in this apartment,
Gosh she is making a point but not a good one, he came closer to her and said with greeted teeth, you have no idea, how much I am controlling right now, so get down and behave, before, she repeated before what?
He quickly grabs her by the waist and put her down and pours water on her, he found there on the counter, before she can do anything,  he ran from there to the hall, she screams, you chamgadar,  she refilled the glass and ran after him, he keeps ducking and she keeps following,  in this process, she ends up spilling the whole over herself, she is drenched in water and he couldn't stop himself for laughing on, soon she joined and both laughing together,  it was a beautiful moment, a chaotic and peaceful.  So Unlike them
