As I lie in bed, the gentle hum of the air conditioner is the only sound breaking the stillness of the night. My phone rests in my hand, its screen glowing softly. The notification sound chimes, and my heart skips a beat as I see Aarav’s name flash across the screen.We’ve only recently exchanged numbers, and each message feels like a step closer to unraveling the mystery of each other.
It all began with a simple,
__________________________________________
Aarav: Hey, how was your day?
__________________________________________
I smile as I type back,
__________________________________________
Me: Hii ! My day was pretty basic, work was crazy as usual. How about yours?”
__________________________________________
His reply is swift, his words playful and engaging.
__________________________________________
Aarav: basic? With you, I bet even a BASIC day is extraordinary. My day was good, but it just got better now that I’m talking to you.
Aarav: So, tell me, what’s something you did today that made you smile?
Me: Hmm, I had a really good coffee break with my best friend. We laughed a lot. What about you?
Aarav: I smiled when I got a message from you. 😊
__________________________________________
I laugh softly at his flirtation and respond,
__________________________________________Me: Oh, smooth talker! You always know just what to say.
__________________________________________Soon, we are sharing more than just our day; we dive into stories from our childhood, favorite movies, and books that left a mark on us. The conversation flows effortlessly, punctuated by laughter and the occasional teasing remark.
__________________________________________Aarav: So, Maanvi, are you more of a night owl or an early bird?
Me : Definitely a night owl. I love the quiet of the night. How about you?
Aarav: Same here. The best conversations happen late at night, don’t you think?
Me: Absolutely. It’s like the world belongs to just us.
Aarav: Speaking of which, I’ve been thinking... If we were out right now, what do you think we’d be doing?
Me: Hmm, maybe a late-night drive? Music playing, windows down...
Aarav: And you beside me, looking beautiful under the moonlight. 🌙
Maanvi: You’re smooth, aren’t you? 😏
Aarav: Only for you, Maanvi. 😉
__________________________________________The night deepens, and the intimacy of our exchange grows. Aarav’s words become more flirtatious, and I feel a warm flush spread across my cheeks as I respond in kind.
__________________________________________Aarav: I have a confession
Aarav: I’ve been thinking about you all day.
