"I thought you hated hugs" , I voiced out as he wrapped his arms ever so gently around me.
"I still do, but hugs from you are an exception", he pulled me closer, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
Intrigued, I slightly tilted my head...

Shit, shit, shit, shit.....
It was fifteen past 9 and I was late as usual. I had to meet Veer to discuss about our so called 'fake dating pact'.As I neared the garden, I ran towards him , seeing him sitting on one of the benches and scrolling on his mobile.
Sensing my arrival , he looked up from his mobile and kept it inside his track pant's pocket.
"You are 16 minutes and 17 seconds late Snowflake" , he said looking at his watch.
"I had some unexpected workload at my office and so I got late okay. There are some employees like me who work for others and have some rules to follow and then there are bosses like you who make their own rules and make their employees do over time" , I replied sitting beside him.
"Okay fine. Look I don't have time for fighting with you.Just come straight to the point." , he blew out a frustrated sigh , turning his body to face me.
"Me neither. If you think I love talking with you then you are so in the wrong . I did prefer sitting at my home than talk with you anytime ! ." , I stated, to which he folded his hands , and glared at me as if one more nonsense shit from my mouth and he would be organising my funeral.
"Fineee... Let's come to the point. I am ready to be in a fake relationship with you provided we follow some.. um... terms and conditions. Read this" , I said seriously retrieving a piece of folded paper from my pocket. Yup, I had made a list of rules which we had to follow during this so called 'relationship'..... 'Fake Relationship'.
"You have legit made a contract ? " , he looked amused, taking the paper from my hand.
"Yaa read it...."
"Number 1. Keep in mind that this is fake. Falling in love with each other is off limits. Number 2. We need to indulge in limited PDA , obviously in front of our friends and family. Number 3. This shouldn't cause trouble in our professional lives since we are working together. " , he read and eyed me.
"Wow that's some long list. Fine agreed .", he said after a long pause.
"Since we are making these so called rules, I have mine to add too. " , he continued.
"Shoot", I said.
"Number 1. Be ready to be in this relationship for as long as I might need us to be. We might need to extend this pact for a bit longer after the wedding since my family is involved. And number 2. We cannot see anyone else during this span. I guess that's it" , he said counting the rules on his fingers.
"Fine... Now sign it " , I agreed, removing the pen from my hair , which I had used for tying a hair bun, causing my hair to flow in all directions due to the breeze.
