Aakash's POV:
As my lips touched Naina's lips I felt an electrifying force in my body. As if the whole world had stopped and it was just Naina and I, lost in that moment, forever.
She tasted like the best thing that my tongue ever came across. Her lips are the softest thing to ever touch mine!
I didn't care that we were thousands of feet above the ground. In this moment, even if I die, I would be happy because I am close to the woman who rules my heart.
I kept tasting her, my tongue slowly taking in her lips. I did not want to fast, I was afraid that I might scare her. After all, it was out first kiss.
But, just when I was about to break the kiss, Naina bit my upper lip, indicating that she wanted more. My girl gets whatever she wants!
I put my hand around her neck and deepend the kiss further. My tongue crashed with her tongue and I sucked her upper lip as she sucked my lower lips, slowly but entirely.
We continued for more than a minute and then Naina slowly started losing her breath. The fact that we were so many feet high up the ground was probably making things worse. Hence, unwillingly, I broke the kiss.
As I looked at Naina I realised she was blushing profusely. How did this girl bite my lips a few minutes ago I will never understand!
Nonetheless, this kiss made me realise one thing, she wanted me as much as I wanted her. For me, that was enough for a lifetime.
The helicopter finally landed on top of my house. Yes, I wanted Naina to see my house...our house.
We both stepped down, I helped her.
The driver of the helicopter said his goodbyes and took it back.
"Is that helicopter yours, Aakash", Naina asked me. Still quite mesmerized that we were inside a helicopter just a few moments ago.
"No baby, I rented it for the proposal, but if my baby wants a helicopter I will work hard and try to get one maybe in four to five years", I replied.
I was rich but still owning a helicopter was extravagant for even me. But, if my girl likes helicopters so much, I will do everything in my power to buy for one her.
"No no...I didn't mean that", Naina replied.
"Even if you did, I will try to buy it Naina, anything for you", I said with a smile.
I held her hand and took her inside the elevator of my house.
"You have an elevator inside your house", she said, extremely shocked.
"Umm...yes, we have a total of four floors, so an elevator is convenient", I explained.
"Why do you have four floors, Aakash? Didn't you tell me you live alone", she asked.
"Yes, I live alone. But, maintaining an extravagant house is a part of social status Naina, every celebrity has to follow. Besides, now that we will get married you will live with me and I will no longer be alone...or lonely", I wanted Naina to understand why I wanted to rush our marriage. I absolutely do not want to spend a single day away from her. If needed, I can elope with her tomorrow morning, only if she allows.
Once we stepped out of the elevator, I took Naina inside the living room and made her sit on the sofa.
As I took a seat beside her, I realised that she was awfully quiet.
"Is everything fine", I asked her.
Naina licked her lips and looked at me. For a few seconds none of us said anything and then finally she said-
"Aakash, my family has a second-hand car. I have been earning for quite sometime now but my savings aren't enough for even a bike. We live in a small apartment, which you have seen already, throughout my life I have shared everything...my books, clothes, shoes, cosmetics, even my laptop with my elder sister."
I did not understand why Naina was saying all this with a sad expression. To me, everything that concerns her always feels happy and worth being proud of. She continued-
"What I am saying Aakash, is that I am nowhere worthy, capable, or even habituated of a life where my husband owns a house with an elevator or where he wishes to buy me a helicopter. We are so different, Aakash. This scares me a lot".
Not even for a moment have I ever felt that Naina would be insecure of my living standards. But, I understood where she was coming from.
"Naina", I replied, "All this extravagant decorations, this lavish home, my expensive lifestyle,none of this means anything to me. It is a facade I have to maintain for the world. YOU ARE MY HOME".
I took her hand and placed it close to my chest, "Can you feel how my heart beats for you, Naina?"
She nodded in yes, with tears in her eyes.
"Feel it closely, because it beats only for you and it will never beat for anybody else, because I love you", I said with all the love that I have for her. I don't want her to feel insecure, or unworthy, because I know that my Naina is more worthy than I will ever be for a girl as pure as her.
"Aakash", Naina replied, "I definitely have very strong feelings for you. But I am extremely scared of falling in love...what if I fall and no one holds me?"
"I am already holding you Naina, I will hold you forever", I promised her.
Naina quickly jumped into my lap and hugged me tight. We both stayed in that position for what felt like eternity.
As Naina broke the hug, I unwillingly let her go. If it was in my hands, I would keep her in my arms forever.
"Won't you give me a tour of the house, Mr. Aakash Arora?", she asked with a teasing smile.
I winked at her said, "Of course, would-be Mrs. Aakash Arora".
I held her hand and we quickly got up from the sofa. As I brushed my thumb over her hand, I felt complete, as if something has been missing in my life for so long.
Today, this empty apartments feels like home...our home.
