Childhood Luv

CHAPTER 11

YASH-

As soon as she left, I follow her. I know how clumsy and absent minded she is. I was sure she would take hours to search for that only book.

I ask her when I found her looking for something. Probably searching.

"Need a hand?" She was startled instantly when she heard my voice.

"Oh! Yash? ...Yes,it is at the top. Mind passing me the ladder?" She raises her eyebrows , thin and perfect in shape. I then notice her , coming out of my trance , pointing towards me . NO behind me.

I swiftly turn back and spot the ladder which a few steps away. I lift the ladder with ease as it is not too heavy and place it at the exact spot where she was pointing at.

She moves forward and then advances on to the ladder just before I prepare myself to go up . I step back a little giving her space to adjust on the first step. She takes a look at the top of the ladder and  then face the front. Is she scared?

Right before she takes another step cautiously, she takes a quick peek at me with pursed lips , to the top of ladder and down at the step.

Her actions strike that she must be asking for me to hold the ladder . 

"Oh sorry" I apologize and grip two sides of ladder .

I was right behind her. So close to her . I have never been so close to her.

ISHA-

OMG! He understood me. He is right behind me. My heart is literally racing so fast. My breaths too.

I can feel him behind me . I am filled with excitement. He is standing so close to me. I wish we could stay this way .

 I sense him looking to the side so I hop on to the next step. I climb on to the step where the book was reachable.

"Found it?" 

I think I can hear is voice for a long time... It is so soothing.

"Uu-umm Still looking for it" 

I read the titles of books from my left to right. I find a thick book in between matching the name that we were hunting for. "This is the book.Found it" I exclaim.

I start pulling out the book that kind of got stuck in between. I pull it out hard out of patience, next second I don't feel the rung under me , just air .I shut my eyes close ready to face the ground with a loud thud.

It didn't happen. It just didn't happen.

 I got enveloped in arms. My eyes flew open just to find him staring at me shocked just the way I was. My arms were around his neck and his around my waist. The proximity between us is too less. I can feel his breath fanning against mine. 

YAYY!! Butterflies in my stomach. I hope the blush is not visible on my face. You can do this. Contol Isha control.

I can't breath nor speak. My throat is closed up as his blue orbs are staring right through me. Right into mine. Without a blink.

I take a deep breath as I am out of air. This makes him blink and look away.

OH shit I broke it!

He steps back yet his hands on my waist. When he is just few steps away from the ladder, he loosens the grip around my waist to which I move away instantly. 

I , being clumsy as always, stumble with my heels.

Am sure I am going to embarrass myself by falling on my butt.

Not even wasting a second, he quickly grabs my waist. This time we are too close. I can completely feel his body on mine. His fingers tighten the grip around my waist.

A Little gasp leaves my mouth.

It is a jungle of butterflies down there!!! Please calm down butterflies. Stop parting so hard.Please!!

I feel him piercing into my soul. Not again I forgot how to breath. I felt my heart beat faster than ever. It is literally pounding out of my chest. 

 I can sense the tension between us.

We stayed in that position for a moment. I am just feeling his warmth. I slowly place my palms on his broad shoulder just not to loose balance again. 

" Guys!!" Clears the throat
