Can love heal?

16. The Closeness

Arnav's Pov

I changed into formal attire: a white shirt with neatly folded sleeves and black jeans. I swiftly grabbed the car keys and left my house without notifying anyone. After a brief drive, I pulled over at my destination.

"I'm coming!" I exclaimed to myself as I emerged from the car.

I entered the house in front of me by climbing through a pipe and settled into a window seat in the room. The room is of Aanya!!

I took a moment to observe her. She was dancing, headphones in her ears, and her eyes closed, completely immersed in the music.

"Let her finish the dance first than I will talk to her," I whispered to myself, as I slowly  slipped into the room through the window, settling down on the bed, silently observing her beautiful dance moves.

(Wow! I had never seen Aanya in such a comfortable way. Her milky legs were visible through her shorts, and her loose t-shirt revealed her cleavage. Her open hair draped over her face as she moved, making her look like a perfect wine. Oh, god, what rubbish I'm thinking? My thoughts are going crazy. I should stop thinking).

I stopped thinking and stood up to grab a bottle of water from the drawer.

As I picked up the bottle and turned around, Aanya bumped into me as she was dancing.

She suddenly opened her eyes in surprise and almost screamed, but I put my hand over her mouth and didn't let her speak. As I slowly removed my hand  from her mouth, she blasted"What the hell, Are you doing here? How did you get here?Can't you just stop following me?" she asked many questions in a single breath.

"Shh, Shh, Be quite!!" I said as she was talking too loud.

"What if I refuse to be quite!?" She replied rudely.

"Then I will silence you with my lips press against yours" I said with a evil smirk on my face. I was looking deep into her eyes while walking close to her. She was taking steps backward slowly. But, suddenly her steps stooped as she hit the wall.

"W-w-what are you doing?" she asked, trembling with nervousness at how close we were.

"Nothing,  just wanted to ask something," I replied, my eyes still fixed on Anya.

"So what is it?"she asked.

She was too scared from the closeness so  I stepped back and sat on the bed.
I didn't want her to be scared of me.

"Well....have no fear, Aanya. Would you like to come shopping with me!?" I begged.Her expression changed to one of amusement.

"No, Never! How could you expect me to agree to that!?" she replied.

"Please, Aanya, my cousin sister wants to go shopping, but I’m not familiar with girl's clothing. Can you help me out?" I stood still, and she suddenly took a step back, looking startled.

"Um... I need to finish my work since I have college tomorrow," she replied calmly.

"Tomorrow is Sunday, Aanya! Just come with me; I only need a little help," I said, making my most pleading expression.

"I'm only helping you this time. Don't ask me again," she said as she went to take her clothes from drawer.

"Now, leave, I need to change!" she commanded. I moved toward the window, about to leave, when she approached and grabbed my hand.

"Why are you leaving from here?" she asked.

"Because I came from here," I replied, laughing awkwardly.
