Christo's POV

I woke up, and his words kept resurfacing in my brain.
 
'Going to meet your crush.'
 
I am not sure about Zaara, but I am damn sure Rohan won't cheat on me.
 
Tick, tick!
 
"I know that you can't live without me." I smirked and turned to witness someone who was not Rohan.
 
A female voice doubtfully said, "Maybe," and that was Maya.
 
"Shoooo! Sorry! I was expecting someone else." I uttered.
 
"Hmm, hmm." She hesitated to come in after hearing my words.
 
"Sorry, sorry, sorry. Come in, please. I was also expecting you." I said that and got up from my sofa as a gesture of welcoming her.
 
"Who did you actually expect?" She asked out of curiosity.
 
"My friend Rohan." I sighed.
 
"Why this reaction? Is everything okay?" She asked out of concern.
 
"Yup! One and only issue. But I don't have the right to talk about his private life. As it is related to you, you will anyway know about it later." I blurted.
 
"Oh! Now I am getting curious." She chuckled.
 
"Ahhh! I have such a loose lip. Please just forget the shoe I blabbered." I said.
 
"Shoe??? Choosing to be a child-friendly guy. Soo cute." She chuckled while my phone rang in my pocket.
 
The caller was Rohan. As Maya stood next to me, she too noticed that it was Rohan and started asking, "I need to know the issue related to me. Let me ask him."
 
Maybe asking him was not her plan. It was just to tease me. She was smirking to make me nervous. But I didn't fall for that.
 
"To talk, get my phone out of my hands." I said it and raised my hands tall enough to make sure that she couldn't catch.
 
"You wanna play with me, ah??" She said it while coming close to me.
 
She could never reach my hands.
 
But I was wrong. She is smart. She stood up on the sofa to reach my phone while I started running away from her. We were literally playing catch-and-catch in the house until I was stranded in the corner of my room.
 
"You can't run away from me." She said it while taking a step forward.
 
"But you can never reach me." I said that and tiptoed to make me even taller. She suddenly started to jump a little to get a hold of my hands, and I was not even sure if it was still about the phone.
 
The playful mood slowly started to vanish as she was so close to me. She placed her left hand on my chest to get a hold of me. She was still trying so hard to get my phone. But I was not trying to run away from her. To my surprise, my heart started to beat crazy. Her skin's touch on me was burning me like it was a sin worth committing.
 
On her final leap to catch my hands, she caught my hands, and that brought us even closer. She saw my eyes for a moment, and the look she had on me suddenly changed too. It was no longer playful.
 
Everything except her eyes and lips were blurry. My body was under her command.
 
Her jasmine fragrance was making me go mad, and I couldn't resist her anymore, so I went close to her lips.
 
Her lips were just an inch away when my brain slapped me with a question to ask her.
 
"Should I kiss you?" I whispered.
 
"You can kiss me."
