Sunshine, Starlight | Aryan Simhadri

Part 51

I sat in the car thinking about the kiss the whole 30 minute ride to the airport

His Eyes, the way they followed mine the whole time we were standing there, his arms holding me into the hug so I didn't have worry about my balance, his lips touching mine, they were so soft and careful I wanted to feel them again I wanted to kiss him again and again over and over

My heart was pounding heavier just at the memory, my stomach was feeling weird and my cheeks felt really hot

"What is going on with you ?" I look over at Walker, I had totally forgotten about him sitting next to me

"Nothing" he frowned at me but ended up just shrugging and looking back to his phone

I turned my head towards the window and closed my eyes, I need to calm down. What is happening to me ?! I needed to talk to Leah or I would burst out from the excitement soon

When we got to the airport Walker went to the bathroom and I found myself a quiet corner to sit down

I took out my phone and immediately called Leah, she had already left yesterday so hate was home already and I really hoped she had time for me

"Leah ?!"

"Belle ? What's going on are you alright ?"

"Yeah yeah I'm fine, well I'm kind of freaking out"

"Why ?? What's going on ? Where are you ?"

"I'm at the airport right now and Leah, please calm me down or this flight is going to make me lose my shit"

"Are you scared of flying ?"

"What ? No. I kissed Aryan"

"Geez I was about to say I can't- WAIT WHAT ?!" It took her a minute to realise what I just said "YOU DID WHAT ?!"

"It was just to make it more believable and stuff but I feel like exploding every since"

"Well tell me more"

"Oh it felt so good Leah, his lips were so soft and he- he like held my back so I wouldn't fall and Leah I think I'm really falling for him"

"Oh my goodness this is so cute I can't believe this just happened"

"Leah I'm really freaking out because I can't like him, I'm gonna ruin our friendship- Leah I really really can't loose him"

"Just breath Belle, it's fine. Look I promised I wouldn't tell and I won't tell but maybe you'll want to look into that more, this is more than just a small crush Belle. You're a total simp"

Aryans view:

She kissed me, Belle had kissed me. The girl I have been in love with for over two years kissed me and I couldn't stop thinking about it

Her lips were so soft against mine and the memory of her hand in my hair could kill me right then and there

"Hey Aryan I want to show you something" Neisha nodded her head towards the stairs pulling me right out of my thoughts. I got up and followed her to her room, sitting down on her chair while she closed the door "What was that ?!"

"I don't know"

"She kissed you ?! Dude"

"Yeah. Neisha it felt so good, like I just- I wanted to just not let go, just stand there with her forever"

"I mean you two were really close today, I saw you during the movie" she told me, I couldn't help the grin that forced itself onto my lips

"I don't know anymore Neisha I feel like we have gotten really close but then again I don't want to make her feel uncomfortable or ruin our friendship"

"I mean I would say shoot your shot but I don't want you to loose the friendship either if it doesn't work out"

"You're saying this as if you know if she would even go out with me" I laughed leaning my back against the back of the chair. My cousin looked at me with a frown

"What ?"

"What?"

"Aryan I'm really sure that she would go out with you, a girl doesn't just randomly kiss someone- well some do but trust me she doesn't"

"Neisha she's an actress, she kissed Charlie like a bazillion times so you're saying she likes Charlie too ?"

"That's so different Aryan, and she doesn't kiss Charlie like that it was like sparks were flying in the air" hearing that really got my hopes up, what if she actually liked me ? Could we make it work ? I need it to work. I need to be with her.

"I don't know Neisha but it doesn't matter right now anyways because we probably won't be seeing each other until season 2 filming starts" I really hope that wouldn't make things weird between us, I loved texting and talking to Belle as often as we do and I would hate if things got awkward now

"Aren't you going to this premier next week ? Maybe she'll be there"

"Momonas premier ? I'm not sure but I don't think so, premiers are tough either way but it's probably hell with crutches. I wish she would come though she's a huge avatar fan too" I felt bad for her, we had talked about the movie for ages cause of how much we both loved it growing up. She was really excited for the premier but we hadn't talked about it since her accident
