They were driving to the venue and Navya was continuously stealing glances at him. He had removed his blazer while driving and the fitted shirt made his biceps and muscles look delicious.
"Have you ever loved someone?"
She asked and he looked at her for a split second before answering.
"I have. Once."
"When?"
"A few years back."
There was silence for a minute before she asked again.
"Do you still love her?"
He smiled and replied without hesitation."
"I do. But she can never be mine."
The sadness in his tone was clear and she looked at him. Why would he think that?
"Kyu?"
"She likes someone else. And that someone else has got his senses and finally asked her out. There's no way she is going to deny."
Expect that she did. She had chosen him long back. And it was time he knew this. But not before teasing him a little bit.
"So are you going to move on?"
"No! I don't think I can. For me it has been her and it will be her even if for her it's not me."
A smile threatened to form on her face but she controlled and asked.
"What if you start getting attracted to someone else? Casual relationship bhi nhi?"
He shook his head without hesitation and replied.
"Attraction toh tab hogi na jab uske alawa koi aur dikhega. Pr koi dikhta hi toh nhi. Sirf wo dekhti hai."
"Mai bhi nhi dikhti?"
She asked teasingly and he chuckled.
"Kya janna chahti ho Navya?"
She looked away biting her cheek to control her smile.
"Kuch nhi!"
They reached the venue and the two started interacting with people while stealing glances at each other when the other wasn't looking.
"Oh my God! Did he propose? Are you guys engaged now?"
One of her colleagues asked holding her hand which had the beautiful solitaire on it. Navya blushed and shrugged.
"Not proposed but I think."
"Girl! He is very serious about you. No guy would put a ring on it if he isn't serious. Did you atleast give him a passionate thank you kiss?"
She looked towards where Ahaan was standing with his hands in his trousers pocket and laughing with some men.
She did not! And she definitely should!
"I'll be back! Excuse me!"
She mumbled and started walking away.
"Yeah! Go claim your man girl!"
She heard the woman and blushed walking towards him. He saw her approach and smiled.
"We need to talk."
She mumbled and held his wrist pulling him with her. He followed without any restraint and she took him out of the venue to a secluded area.
"Kya hua? All okay?"
He asked cupping her face with worry.
"I don't want to do this anymore."
She said and he frowned.
"Do what?"
"This! This fake dating thing. I don't want to do it anymore."
His worry etched face changed into a sad one before he masked it and smiled.
"Of-ofcourse! I mean- right- I - I forgot. Right! Umm- you're right. Varun won't feel good if we continue to fake date while you go out with him. I'll clear it to him righ-"
He looked at her wide eyed. Was he imagining things? Or was she really kissing him?
He felt her lips move against his. His heart which seemed to have stopped for a moment started beating wildly. His eyes closed as he realised it was actually happening. His hands went around his waist and neck as he pulled her into him. And his lips moved against her kissing her like he had always imagined.
He applied a little pressure on her neck and she moaned breaking the kiss but keeping her lips on his.
"I don't want to 'fake' date anymore. I want this to be real Ahaan. Varun may go to hell. I don't care. I actually never did."
He pulled her into a kiss again. Now that he had the taste of her he couldn't stop.
"Say it Navya!"
He whispered against her lips and she smiled.
"I was supposed to be fake Ahaan. You weren't supposed to make me fall in love with you. But here I am. Completely, truly, madly and irrevocably in love with you."
He sighed in content and kissed her squeezing her waist and she round her arms around his neck.
"I love you so much."
He whispered against her lips and deepened the kiss diving his tongue in her mouth.
"Be my girlfriend!"
He muttered and she bit her lip showing him the ring he slipped in her finger.
"Aren't I already?"
He chuckled and kissed her forehead.
"Navya!"
They heard someone call her name and saw Varun walk towards them.
"Herw you are! I've been looking for you everywhere. Tum yaha kya kr rhi ho? Anyway! I wanted to tell you something. Can we talk?"
Ahaan's hold on her waist tightened and she nodded. Varun looked at Ahaan and then back to her.
"In private."
She smiled and said.
"He'll know anyway. We can talk here."
Varun chuckled and said.
"I know you guys aren't dating in real. I heard you guys the other day. I know you like me. And I like you too Navya."
Navya was shocked while Ahaan felt like killing him. Can he not see their condition. His hair was a mess while her lipstick was gone completely.
"Umm- I don't know how much you heard. It's I liked you. But it was just a crush which has faded now. About Ahaan and me. I don't think anyone of us is answerable to you regarding it."
Varun smirked and was about to say something when Ahaan spoke up.
"Why not Navya? We definitely are answerable to him. But don't worry. I'll clear up the confusion. I love her. And she is mine. Aur ye baat tum jitni jaldi apne dimag mai daal lo wo better hai. Now excuse me. I have a girlfriend to please."
He said and pulled her in his arms ignoring the man standing there glaring at them as he leaned to take her lips in another kiss forgetting everything around him.
