I flopped onto my bed, my heart racing as I buried my face in my pillow, a blissful smile spreading across my face. I could still feel the warmth of Karan’s lips.

I kicked my feet excitedly, the sheets swirling around me as I giggled like a schoolgirl with a crush.

I kissed him! I actually kissed Karan!

The thought sent butterflies fluttering in my stomach, and I couldn't help but imagine all the sweet moments that could follow.

We would be at the beach again, laughing as the waves chased us, holding hands as we walked along the shore, our fingers intertwined. Maybe we’d share ice cream, our laughter ringing out as we smeared it on each other’s noses. Or perhaps we’d sit under the stars, talking about everything and nothing.

Or perhaps it's just a daydream.

But, what if this changed everything? What if that kiss ruined our friendship?

I sat up abruptly, my heart racing.

What if he doesn’t feel the same way?

What if I had misread everything?

The kiss, the laughing—what if it had all meant nothing more to him?

What if he tells Sheena and Dishant? They’d tease us mercilessly.

Shit. Sheena.

She's shown subtle intrest in Karan, ugh it would break her heart.

What if it made things awkward between us? The thought tightened my chest. I couldn’t bear the idea of losing what we had.

Pacing my room, I buried my face in my hands, groaning softly. “Why did I have to kiss him?” I muttered to myself.

But deep down, I knew I couldn’t regret it. The kiss had been electric, special. Yet, the fear of the unknown loomed over me like a dark cloud.

With a sigh, I flopped back onto my bed, staring at the ceiling.

What if this was the start of something beautiful... or the end of everything?

I shrugged of the feeling, and I didnt know when sleep engulfed me.

Back at my place, I found myself pacing my room, the memory of that kiss replaying in my mind.

Did that really just happen? The touch of her lips was still fresh, igniting a mix of excitement and confusion within me.

I couldn’t help but grin like an idiot.
