The consistent fire between two souls was ignited as their lips coordinated in the most fluent sync. Her thoughts were blur as she could only concentrate on the thumping of their hearts against each other, while his thoughts were consumed by how beautiful this feelng was.

The two of them parted to catch their breaths, their foreheads touching and their nose brushing against each other. Viaan pulled back a bit to look at Aairah's face and the sight only made him want to wrap his arms around her and never let her go anywhere away from him. His eyes couldn't believe in the beauty in front him, she looked like an angel to him with swollen lips and pink tinted cheeks, and most of all her eyes were filled with love, love only and only for him.

Viaan pressed a soft kiss on her lips before shifting himself on the bed and laying down beside her. He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her to his chest while Aairah's fingers found his hair, fumbling with it in a soothing manner.

"I didn't realise how beautiful you really are until now." Viaan spoke, his voice low and husky, a small smile playing on his lips.

Aairah blushed at his compliment but smirked nonetheless while saying, "I didn't realise my best friend was such a bad kisser until now."

Viaan's face dropped for a second which made a giggle erupt from Aairah. He cleared his throat before moaning, "Viaan!" in the most girly manner. He chuckled before turning to Aairah, "Yeah, getting you to moan like that proves exactly how bad of a kisser I am." He smirked.

Aairah swatted his chest before covering her face with her hands, she heard his laughter and tried to avoid the flutter of her stomach at such a beautiful sound. She felt Viaan's fingers on her hands before he forced her to remove it from her face.

"No need to be embarrassed baby." He kissed her forehead and Aairah smiled at him. She was quiet but her thoughts were scattered, she was still trying to comprehend what had just happened but she was dancing from inside that she had finally felt the lips of the person she loved with all her heart, on hers. Viaan, on the other hand, was busy admiring the sight in front of him. He had never felt so happy in his life as he did now, he could tell from the look on Aairah's face that she was lost in thought so he took it upon himself to kill the silence, "So?"

Aairah's eyes met his and she cocked an eyebrow, "So what?"

"Where do we go from here?" He asked cautiously.

"To sleep!" Aairah responded, faking a yawn and turning on the other side of the bed

Viaan glared at her back before calling out her name in a stern voice, "Aairah!"

Aairah turned her neck just enough to look at his face, "Yes, Viaan?"

He sighed as he ran his hands through his hair, "We really need to discuss what just happened."

"Nothing happened, we kissed, that's all." She responded in a robotic tone before turning again.

Viaan's jaw hung open at her words, "Stop messing around, seriously! What the fuck is wrong with you? We cannot be like 'Best Friends' again after that kiss." Viaan was trying to keep his demeanour cool but Aairah's not-so-caring attitude wasn't helping him at the moment.

Aairah turned to face him, she cupped his cheeks and stared into his, trying to hide the hint of smirk, "What is your idea of Best Friends with Benefits?" She winked at him.
