"I thought you hated hugs" , I voiced out as he wrapped his arms ever so gently around me.
"I still do, but hugs from you are an exception", he pulled me closer, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
Intrigued, I slightly tilted my head...

I stirred in my sleep as the cool breeze from the air conditioner sneaked under the thick comforter . I turned to my side, wrapping my arm around the pillow beside me. I snuggled closer to the hard pillow.
Wait! Hard pillow ? These pillows were supposed to be soft. Then what was the hard thing that my fingers were touching. Slowly, I fluttered my eyes open to be greeted by the view of a hard muscular chest. With my eyes still squinted, I tilted my neck slightly upwards to meet Veer's onyx eyes staring right back at me.
A loud scream escaped my lips and I jerked up in a sitting position. "What are you doing in my bed?" I squeaked.
"Have you forgotten that you insisted on me sleeping beside you yesterday after accidentally spilling water on my bed. " he said as a yawn escaped his lips.
Oh right! Silly me!
"I very well remember that" I continued, clearing my throat, " but why aren't you wearing a shirt? As far as I remember you were fully dressed at night"
"Garmi ho rahi thi yaar" he said nonchalantly, stretching his arms above his head.
(I was feeling hot)
I glanced at the AC to look at the temperature display. It was a freaking nineteen degree.
"You have literally adjusted the temperature to nineteen. Kaha se garmi lag rahi hai tumhe?" I pulled the comforter wrapping it around my shoulders.
(How can you feel hot?)
"Garmi toh lagegi na, tum jo side me soyi thi" saying that he pulled me by my hand, making me land flat over his body.
(You were sleeping beside me. Of course I will feel hot)
I gasped at his sudden action. Goosebumps erupted on my skin as I keenly became aware of our proximity. Our bodies were pressed against each other, my cold palms seeking the warmth from his surprisingly warm chest. I caught a whiff of his woodsy fragrance which created an intimate atmosphere. Our gazes were locked onto each other as we got lost in the moment. As I laid over him, I felt the firmness of his body pressing against my abdomen. I flushed with embarrassment as the realization dawned upon me. Uh oh!
I tried getting up but my legs were tangled in the comforter. I wriggled in my position, making the situation even more awkward. He placed his hand firmly on my waist, halting my action.
"Stop moving unless you plan on doing something with it Snowflake" he said, his voice low and teasing.
My face turned into a deeper shade of red as I froze, not knowing how to respond. "I – I ain't planning to do any–anything with uh" I stammered, not finding a way to respond " I should move"
