Prisha's POV
“ Huh? ” He was stumped, I could see it. But I offered no more words. I needed to say what I came for before I lost my courage. It had taken me hours to sort my own thoughts, more hours to be sure of what I wanted to do. And more hours if wondering what it night mean for our future
“ I think I like you. ” Okay, that didn't come out like I was expecting it to, it sounded like I'm not sure but I am. But…
My thoughts paused when I noticed him, he said nothing and there was not a single thing about his demeanour that changed, it was as if I didn't say anything or more like he didn't hear anything.
He would've, right?
“ You won't say anything? ” I questioned and he smirked, “ Oh, I'm glad you've started thinking. ”
“ Huh? ” It was my turn to be surprised but that didn't last long as he started closing the distance between us.
“ I can do with thinking. As long as you think of me, I can make do with that. ” He paused a step before me and I had to strain my neck to look at his face. This close and without heels, there's no way I can match his height.
“ I've been thinking since I first saw you. Knew that I like you a week later, was sure that I love you a week after that and was determined that I'll marry you a week after that. So now that you've started thinking, I guess it's good for me. I just hope the future realisation don't take as much time. I'm losing my patience real quick. ”
I was stupefied, this wasn't what I was expecting him to say, of all the things he could've said it wasn't even in the list. I had even considered rejection but this, love? Marriage? They never even crossed my mind.
“ I was married. ” I said and he shook his head, “ You said it. Was. ”
It's not that simple, I wanted to say but I refrained, rather going with something else. Though it would've been futile as well.
“ I have a child. ”“ My mom has been wanting grandchildren ever since I was born, with Aadi to keep her company, she won't pester you anytime soon. I can have you all to myself for a few more years. ”
Again his words shocked me but something else happened too, the thought of being all his for a few years was too enticing to ignore. I took a deep breath before I continued
“ I won't leave this city. ” At this point I was just saying nonsense, I have no attachments to this city but I do have some obligations to my work.
“ I'll shift here. ” He replied without even giving it a second thought, as if it wasn't a big deal.
“ Huh? What about your parents? ”
“ They have two more sons, and it's not like we can't visit. ”
“ You've thought about everything? ”
“ Yeah, that's what I did when you finally thought you like me. ”It was like he was teasing me for being slow, as if it was some sort of race about who could realise their feelings first and I lost.
“ Anything else? ” He asked and I frowned, “ What? ”
“ Any more excuses why I shouldn't just kiss you right now? ”
Blood rushed to my face and I could feel my ears heating up, I have no clue how he could say it with a straight face.
He was the same in the bathroom two days ago and I don't know what gave me courage but I scoffed, “ You're just talk. ”
He was on me in a moment, his arms laid on the door surrounding me and his face too near, “ Shall we put it to test? ”
