IN VANSH ROOM:
As the harsh melody of Aarohi's alarm broke the stillness of the early morning, both Aarohi and Neil stirred from their sleep, wrapped in the warmth of each other. The room was filled with the gentle light of dawn, casting a soft glow on their peaceful faces. Aarohi shifted slightly, she felt Neil's head nestled against the crook of her neck, a smile playing on her lips as she unconsciously clung to his chest, a tangible reminder of their shared intimacy. Gently attempting to untangle herself, she felt Neil's arms tighten around her, his voice a gentle morning whisper, "It's too early rooh, I'm not quite ready to face the day just yet. Let's stay here a little longer, in this room where it's just you and me." said Neil in a sleepy voice
Aarohi tried to get out of his hold but failed so with a smile on her face she slid down, a lot of resistance from Neil but she finally got out the t-shirt only to be pulled close again by Neil
"Let me go Neil I am not supposed to sleep here in the first place before anyone caught us I have to leave," said aarohi while stroking his head gently
"I don't think so anybody else is awake this early, just for a little more time," said Neil still refusing to let her leave and at the same time not opening his eyes
"I think you are right but soon badi mumma will be up and knowing the first thing she will do is check up on you," said aarohi
"So you admit we have time before she will come here," said Neil with a playful smile on his face
"Not very much but yeah we have some time," said aarohi a little confused by his smile
A soft, warm glow illuminated the room as Aarohi and Neil nestled in bed, aarohi tried to get up but Neil grabbed her by her waist and pulled her on him so now aarohi was lying on top of Neil, Neil finally opened his eyes only to meet with curious brown eyes which filled with so much warmth, their eyes locked in a tender exchange, Neil's fingers traced gentle patterns along Aarohi's arm, causing her heart to flutter with anticipation. He leaned in, his voice still coming in a hoarse whisper, "You know, rooh, if there were a contest for the most beautiful eyeball in the world, you'd win hands down especially when you do that famous eye-roll of yours ." A playful glint danced in his eyes, and his lips brushed against her earlobe, sending shivers down her spine.

Aarohi giggled softly with an eye roll to follow
"That's the same I am talking about, so beautiful," said Neil with a teasing smile, her cheeks tinged with a rosy blush. "Flattery will get you nowhere, Neil," she replied, her voice laced with a hint of teasing. His fingers continued their mesmerizing dance, inching closer to her chin as he tilted her face toward his.
"I'll take my chances But seriously, they are the best ones," said Neil his gaze unwavering

His words hung in the air, Neil's lips ventured to her forehead, placing a feather-light kiss there. Aarohi's heart swelled, and a soft sigh escaped her lips.
"You're quite the charmer, aren't you? But fool to think it's working on me " aarohi whispered, her fingers tracing lazy circles on his chest. Neil's grin deepened, and his lips descended to her nose, planting a delicate kiss.
"Only when I'm around someone as enchanting as you, and being fool around you kinda works" Neil murmured, his voice barely audible.

Their breaths mingled, the space between them becoming charged with an electric tension. Aarohi's gaze flickered to Neil's lips, her own heart racing in sync with his. Without a second thought, she closed the distance,
"I am going to regret this aren't I? " aarohi said in a whisper
"Don't read too much into this," said Neil before
capturing her lips in a passionate kiss that ignited a fiery spark between them. Aarohi responded with the same intensity, his fingers tangling in her hair as their kiss deepened, a symphony of emotions revolving around them.

Time seemed to stand still as they explored the depths of their affection, each kiss a testament to the unspoken words, Neil quickly changed their position so that he could be on top, and aarohi was not able to escape or run. Aarohi and Neil melted into each other's embrace, their souls entwined in a dance of love and desire. At that moment, the world outside their cocoon ceased to exist.
