A Love Like Theirs (Prem Preeti One shots)

Their Proximity

Continued from the previous shot!

Preeti's POV

A long day for her from being on toes due to Sadhna Bhabhi's delivery to the family moments followed by a few hours of tiring work all she wanted now was to relax but there she was sitting in her cabin after checking on Bhabhi and Baby sleeping, lost in her thoughts trying to get rid of his thoughts clouding her mind...

The decision to call off the wedding though declared by him but had her consent during their short and brief meets during this period she could see longing and guilt in his eyes.. and today when things are falling into place on their own both of them still did not have enough courage to approach each other.

Was he blaming himself?
Or is he not sure about her?.... Nah! His eyes scream love for her and she has mastered the art of reading them.
Are they back to being the shy Prem and Preeti?

She was happy nervous excited all at once... She wanted to meet him and ease him out of his guilt.
She wants a fresh start to 'them'
She wants him to understand that during this phase they may be apart from each other physically but has got them emotionally much closer than before.

She could hear her heart beating aloud...
Should she make the first move ?
What would she say ?

Prem's pov

His rapidly beating heart with each step he took towards her cabin... Prem could not control his emotions overpowering him.

A swift knock on her cabin door...
A soft 'come in' escaped her lips and he knew then and there he was gone... He knew he was madly deeply extremely and unapologetically in love with this friend of his... His Preeti... His one and only
And the only good thing if had happened to him in the last few days was a realisation dawned upon him that this lady in front of him who stood with him in his thick and thins without any questions or explanations deserve the world! His world! She made his life beautiful! She should be cherished treasured and loved to no end.

She raised her eyes to look at him and the world stopped for both of them.

She slowly stood up from her chair, a small shy smile playing upon her lips. He placed the tiffins on the table and pulled out a rose from his pocket...

Maintaining a heartfelt contact in her eyes the only words that could escape his lips were "Sorry...Thank you... I love you..."

They had always been like this... Eyes expressing what words could not...
Ab exchange of fewer words and they could share their Dil ka haal..

And that was it she crashed into his chest hugging him tight and he wrapped his arms  around her pulling her closer.

"Ssshhhhh... Purani bato ke baare me baat nhi krte... Sab theek hai... Maine tumse kaha tha na thoda waqt do sab theek ho jaayega!"

He closed his eyes and snuggled into her shoulder to calm his erratically beating heart...still engulfing in her arms he pushed both of themselves to lean onto the couch.

"Tum mere paas ho.. itne paas.. ab sachme lag rha hai sab theek hai.."

Finding solace in each other's embrace after what it felt like eternity Pretti tried pulling away from the hug to be pulled back into him again

She hesitantly said "ab chhodo bhi mujhe..."

He pulled her closer as if it was possible dipping his head on the side of her neck, he whispered "nhi chhod skta... Bilkul nhi chhod skta tumhe... Aise hi rho mere paas.. aur door nhi Raha jaayega".

His words made her feel giddy and goosebumps broke on her skin due to sensations of his mingled breath.

She raised her head to see him hugging her with his eyes closed and peace spread on his face. She ran her fingers in his hair softly massaging his scalp.

He looked into her eyes a lot of emotions dwelling upon them and she felt a knot in her stomach... Both of them too engrossed in themselves unaware of the world besides them.

He held her neck as softly as he could to pull her towards him and his lips softly landed upon hers... Time stopped for them. He didn't move and her guy jolted with anticipation... Her hands wrapped around his neck pulling him into her... Finding her comfortable he kissed her.... Slowly.... Softly.... PASSIONATELY... pouring his love longing gratitude apology and a promise of forever in the kiss.... Their First !!

Her hand in his hair...His hand wrapped around her waist the other locking her fingers into his...he pulled away from the kiss finding her breathless.

Too shy to look at him she dipped her head on his shoulder she lightly whispered an I LOVE YOU TOO and he couldn't control his blush.

The moment was soo special both of them basking in their love which has passed the test of time and grown stronger than ever.

A knock on the door and they jerked apart fixing themselves and their racing hearts...
Preeti took her seat and Prem sat next to her.

Still lost in the beauty of the moment minutes ago, their faces flushed and eyes looking away from each other Preeti shyly got up to check the intruder

Vivek bhaiya and Vinod entered
"Bhaiya... Aa..aap Vinod.. Aaplog.." she stuttered.
Vivek talked her head lightly
"Mann kiya tumhari bhabhi aur humare rajkumar ke saath rehne ka...so rhe hai dono. Sabko to tumne mana liya magar mere aage tumhari ek nhi chalegi Preeti. Chalo ghar jaao."

Vinod joined in "Haan Preeti Bhabhi aapki chinta kar rhe hai Ghar pe sab yahaa hum dono rukte hain aap aur Prem Bhaiya (nudging her) Ghar jaiye"

She couldn't not win this argument.

Before she could say yes Vinod amusedly asked "Ye khaana kyu thanda ho raha hai Prem bhaiya to kab ke khaana leke nikle the"

"Kya kar rhe the aap dono itni der" his eyes shone of mischief and their cheeks reddened. Unable to bear his teasing gaze Prem quickly picked up the tiffin "Tu zyada mat socha kar" pulled Preeti along leaving the room in a jiffy, earning laughs from Bhaiya and Vinod.

They walked through the corridor hand in hand to reach his car. He opened the door for her making sure she was seated comfortably took his seat.

He started driving holding her hand in his free hand soft music playing as the car sped through the moonlit roads and fresh breeze hitting their faces. The silence comforting their hearts still beating after the kiss.

He softly pecked her hands and she blushed looking away.

"Hum kahaa jaa rhe hain?" She asked noticing him take an unfamiliar route

"jahaa hume jaana chahiye... Tumhare liye ek chhota sa surprise"

Soon they reached the heights of the fort where he had confessed his love for her during their Rampur trip.

Her smile was his reward.
He helped her out and again held her hand only to peck it again and she lightly pushed him away flushed.

They sat on the wall enjoying beautiful view of the city lights. He pulled out the tiffin with her favourite food and her eyes shone when he fed her the first bite.

They had their dinner in that beautiful place close to their hearts enjoying each other's company small conversations and stealing glances of each other.

Heading back home he stopped in front of an icecream shop getting her favourite chocolate ice-cream.

Ride back home, now She held his hand kissing it softly and he turned to smile at her.

"Zyada kuch kar nhi paya tumhare liye but I hope tumhe achha laga."

"Bahut achha... Aise hi haina hum.. shant sweet and simple.. aisi hi humari date thi.
It was special.. tumhare saath sab special apne aap bnn jata"

He smiled at her "but mere liye tum sabse special ho to mai tumhe special feel karata rahunga."

That night both of them tossed in bed reminiscing the sheer ecstacy of their kiss and the calmness that spread on their "date" only special due to each other's presence. With a hope of a more beautiful tomorrow a wide spread smile on lips they dozed off.
