Imperfectly Perfect

Chapter 26

Aarohi pov

I felt sun rays falling on my face. I didn't feel like waking up today. I was having a very nice dream. I was in the foodland and everything was made of food. The table , chair everything.

But this is sunrays woke me up. I was still contemplating whether to wake up or not when I felt a weight on my waist. When I saw what it was. It was a hand. A male hand to be specific. Oh that's all. Wait what.

Then my slower than snail brain remembered all the events that had happened last night. I turned towards his side and stared at his face.

This guy looks handsome even while sleeping. How can someone be so handsome and beautiful and cute and hot and sexy. The list is endless.

I was just staring at him. When he opened his eyes and wiggled his eyebrows.

"Take a picture it will last long. " He said smirking.

"You were awake this all time?" I asked.

"Of course. I thought you would be kiss me or something but you were lost in my beauty that you forgot." He said mockingly shaking his head.

"I was not thinking about kissing you. Okay."

"I know you were tempted to do but your brain had shut down for a while."

I just shook my head at him and got up. This guy I say. Don't have romantic bone at all. I thought he would pull be back to bed but no. I should give him some novels to read so that he can take classes from my fictional boyfriends.

I was in bathroom standing in front of the mirror and brushing my teeth. He came behind me with a spare toothbrush and brushing. I was just glaring at him through the mirror. His face was like what did I do now.

I just rolled my eyes at him. I washed my mouth and he did the same. I was about to go out when he pulled me back and pinned me to the wall keeping his on either side of my face.

Then he came closer and whispered in my ear.

"If you wanted a kiss you should have asked no need to be grumpy." He said with a smug face. A shiver ran through me not due to cold but due to his voice. Is this guy trying to kill me or what ?

I was just standing there like a statue not saying anything. I had imagined so many ways about this situation. But I am so lost in his touch and voice that I am not able to talk at all.

He nuzzled his face in my neck. His subtle tickling me. Then he touched my waist and I jumped away from him.

"Wait what happened? Did I make you uncomfortable?" He asked in concerned tone.

"No no. I didn't feel uncomfortable. It's just.." I didn't know how to say this to him. That I am ticklish. So much. It ruined the romantic mood.

"Then what happened?" He asked and came near me. He tried to keep his hand again on my waist. And I moved backwards.

"Wait are you ticklish?"

"No-o I a-am no-ot." I said blinking my eyes. Obviously now he knows I am lying.

Then he had this mischievous look on his face. I knew what he would do. So I ran away from there. I could hear him running behind me. He then caught me and pinned me to the wall.

"Caught you." He whispered in my ear. I will die if he keep doing this.

Then he started tickling me. This monster. I was laughing so hard that I was not able to breath properly.

"Sto-op. I ca-an't."

He then stopped allowing me to breath properly. After that we just stood staring at each other.

I love this guy so much. In this short time he became my whole world. I am thankful that my parents gave me atleast one good thing. I wouldn't trade him for anything.

Then I realised that I haven't told him about my past. He should know this part of my life. He deserves to know about all the demons I am fighting everyday.

"Atharva I want to say something. About my past." What a mood killer. We were having moment here then I decided to ruin it by opening my mouth.

"You know you don't have to say if you are not ready?" He asked his eyes telling me that he understands.

"I know. But I want you know everything about me. My good and bad both the parts."

"No problem. Take your time and say. Okay?" He asked kissing my forehead. I just nodded my head at him.

Then we both took a shower. Separately. And got ready.

We then visited a restaurant near by and had breakfast there. Then his mother called asking us to come fast to do shopping.

Today whole day was hectic with all the shopping and even finalising about venue and decoration. It was a small function and only close friends and family were attending.

It would have been easier if my family had taken responsibilities too. But they had given some lame reason stating that they can't help. Everyone agreed because they knew something was wrong between us.

I was nervous about this event. I don't know my gut feeling was saying there will be something wrong on the day of engagement. I have to be ready for worst. After everything that had happened in my past, I made sure I learnt many things. Whatever weaknesses I had I turned it into my strength. It was not easy to come out of all the trauma that I had face. But that helped me today to be the person I am.

Whole day everyone were busy. So me and Atharva didn't get much time to talk. Then at night I had dinner and went home.

I was so tired the whole day as soon as I fell on bed sleep engulfed me.

"I don't like you. Why are you forcing me?" I asked.

"Just one date. Then if you don't like me it's okay. I will leave you alone." He said.

"Okay. One date. And if I didn't get any romantic feelings you should leave me alone."

"Okay deal."

........

"You thought I would leave you alone. Not happening. If I can't have you no one can." Then he came near me....

I woke up my whole face covered in sweat. I glanced at the clock and saw it was 4 in the morning. It's been a while I haven't had any nightmares I don't know why I suddenly had one today.

It was not a nightmare. It is the truth which had happened. I just sat there for a while then I washed my face and tried to sleep for few hours. But sleep had ran away somewhere.

I was staring at the ceiling not knowing what's waiting for me in the future.

Enjoy guys
