An Innocent Crush ✓

48 | In love again.

"Ugh, I can't decide on an outfit! This? Nope! That? Ahh, nothing's perfect!" Kiara dramatically exclaimed, before plopping herself on the bed.

Shanvi, amidst her makeup routine, glanced over at Kiara with a smile. "Hey, I told you that you could borrow one of my gowns," she chirped before hopping up to grab a dress for her friend.

She returned with a baby blue dress that had a neat shape, it was flowing gracefully at the bottom. The dress keeps things simple but adds a touch of charm with some embroidery. It also boasts elegant puffy sleeves, giving it an extra stylish flair.

“Wow!”

Kiara stood in awe, her mouth slightly open as she gazed at the gown. Shanvi chuckled softly and gently laid the dress on the bed before inviting Kiara over to begin doing her makeup.

As Shanvi skillfully worked on Kiara's makeup, Kiara's curiosity about the dress couldn't be contained. With her eyes closed, she asked, "I don't recall seeing you in that dress before. When did you get it?"

Shanvi let out a soft sigh, "Actually, a friend gave it to me as a gift. I've never really considered wearing it..." She replied, continuing her makeup application, focusing on Kiara's eyes.

"Wow, it's lovely! Your friend has great taste," Kiara remarked with a playful grin. Shanvi couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly, though a small smile adorned her lips in response.

"Great, all set! Head to the restroom, freshen up, and then slip into the dress," Shanvi said with a laugh, noticing Kiara's pout.

"I'm not a kid!" Kiara exclaimed with a hint of mock offense.

"Oh, you're my adorable kid! Now go," Shanvi teased gently.

Dhruv left his apartment, fixing his watch and smoothing out his navy blue suit before making his way to Kiara's place. He looked really sharp in his tailored suit, with its clean lines that made his shoulders stand out.

His shirt was neatly ironed, matching the suit well. A black silk tie added a classy touch, and his shiny dress shoes completed the stylish look. Dhruv's confident and polished appearance showed off his charm.

With a wide smile, Dhruv watched Kiara step out alongside Shanvi. Yet, as he took a moment to truly see her, he was struck by the elegance of her baby blue dress, the delicate puff sleeves, and her perfectly curled hair.

Turning slowly towards him, Kiara's beauty took his breath away. Though she always looked stunning, today held a different allure. A smile graced her lips upon noticing Dhruv, igniting a flutter in his heart.

Overwhelmed by her beauty, Dhruv couldn't help but whisper to himself, "Why is she so incredibly beautiful? My heart can hardly handle it." With a deep breath, he found himself falling in love all over again.

His throat tightened as he nervously nibbled on his lips, his focus solely on Kiara amidst the blur of everything around him. She looked stunning, almost overwhelmingly so.

He observed her walking towards him, noticing how her dress swayed in the gentle breeze, her hair bouncing with each step. Her eyes blinked in an endearing manner, her rosy, plump lips and slightly flushed cheeks catching his attention.

Dhruv, completely enchanted by Kiara's presence, felt his heart race as she approached. He couldn't take his eyes off her.

As she neared, he flashed a grin that felt like a nervous beam, despite his best efforts to appear composed. "You look absolutely… perfect," he managed to say, his words coated with genuine admiration.

Kiara blushed, a radiant smile gracing her face. "Thank you," she replied, her voice carrying a softness that tugged at Dhruv's heartstrings.

Shanvi stood back, admiring the sight of the two, her heart swelling with joy at the evident chemistry between them.
