Imlie's Pov

I suddenly woke up to a ringing noise; I groaned and opened my eyes, looking around the room with my sleepy eyes, looking for the source of the sound.

I scrambled to where I thought the sound was coming from, and it was my phone; the alarm was going off.

I picked up the table and turned it off. The time was 6:10 am, and I yawned. I felt happy, really happy with no feeling of emptiness.

I turned on the lights and looked into the mirror, I was wearing strange clothes.

Memories of yesterday suddenly came rushing back and I blushed.

How was I in my room? I must have slept off in his room and he brought me here.

I blushed harder, thinking of what he did to make me fall asleep.

I took a shower, and when I looked at the mirror again, I gasped; there were hickeys all over my breast.

I got dressed and wore my hair down. I wore a light green salwar suit and came downstairs to have breakfast.

'Good morning, Arpita, good morning, maa.' I said then settled down to eat.

'You look so happy today imlie, do you mind sharing the happiness with us?' Maa asked.

I smiled and dished out some food on my plate.

I glanced over at Arpita, and the look on her face said something else. She smiled back at me and continued eating.

Different thoughts were running through my head when I saw him heading towards the dining hall in his office suit.

He looks so handsome today, his hair was well combed, and he looks well-shaven.

What is wrong with me? Why am I suddenly noticing all these?

The air was suddenly hot, and I looked up again, and I found out he was staring at me.

I looked down quickly and started eating.

'Won't you greet her Aryan?' Aripta asked after he greeted his maa and her. She said so with a knowing smile.

I choked on my food and what made matters worse, Aryan came to rub my back.

'Have some water,' he said. He poured me a glass of water, and I drank it while he rubbed my back.

We ate breakfast and it was time to head to the office.

We got into the car, and as I turned to get my seat belt to fix it properly and hook it, I came face to face with Aryan.

He must have leaned forward when I turned to grab the belt. I was turning my head away when he pulled me closer and gently kissed my lips.

'Good morning imlie.' I was speechless, I opened my mouth to speak but my words got stuck in my throat.

He smiled and he ran his hand through my hair. 'You look beautiful today, you look beautiful every day, but today, it seems someone put in a special effort to get dressed.'

I blushed and he fixed the seat belt for me. He drove to work holding my hand.

It was noon when my phone rang and I picked it up.

'Grandma,' I answered cheerfully but what she said next made me slump into my chair.
