Arranged Marriage To Love

Chapter 21 - *Cough* First Kiss *Cough*

Riya's POV

Time was passing by so quickly. It feels like just yesterday when Angel Princess came to my college for first time but in real it has been nearly a month. We are in the last week of July.

Many things have happened during this month. Like, Khushi and Aarul trying to behave as if nothing is wrong, I guess they succeeded because no one thought about their weird behaviour of trying to behave like friends while nothing about that night has happened at all; then I went to shopping with mummyji and we finally bought my wedding dress; then we spent rest of the day with Angel Princess playing; We celebrated my grandma's birthday which came during the second week of July, everyone i.e my grandma's maternal family, our family and Kapoor's.

In college, Everything was going .... Umm .... Good I guess. It was still same as it was going before the student meeting. With Manvi STILL trying to get close to Raj through Angel Princess, when she came to college, and me because she thinks Raj and I know each other which is true, but in front of her, I behaved like we didn't know each other that much just few things.

Sometimes, it felt good to rile her up from not sharing the 'little details according to her' that I know with her, I thought while grinning. I mean, why should I share the things that I know about him and MY family. Call me possessive or protective but its MY family. I thought while internally shrugging.

I was so lost in my thoughts that someone had to shake my shoulders to gain my attention back.

"Sweet girl?" I heard Raj say while shaking my shoulders.

"Huh?" I asked feeling confused.

I realised I was in Raj's office room, seating in front of him, in the college helping him with some paper work about the college vacation trip.

"What happened?" Raj asked.

"I was thinking about all the events that passed in this month." I replied truthfully.

"What are all that events?" Raj asked curiously .

"Like you don't know huh?" I asked back.

"No I don't know. Please enlighten me Riya ji." Raj said while talking in fake innocent voice.

"Hmmm." I murnured thinking should I or should I don't?

While I was thinking about this, Raj stood up, leaving all his work, and walked to the seat beside me and sat down. He brought his chair close to mine and sat down that made our bodies touch at some places.

He casually took my hand and started playing with my fingers especially my ring finger.

I blushed at his casual touch. These past few days - no weeks he started being more touchy touchy. Like usually we had a arm length space in between us but now it feels like no space is left in between us.

Not like I have problem with that. My mind thought.

Ahhh. I shouldn't think like that. I started scolding my mind internally.

You don't think like that. But I will. He is my would-be husband. I can think however I want. My mind said while shrugging and started dreaming and drooling about him.

Hey! We are same person. If you think then that means even I'm thinking about that. So stop thinking and having those thoughts. I scolded my mind.

Not my problem. My mind said and went back to day dreaming.

Ahhhhh. I thought.

"So, tell me?" Suddenly I was brought back to the real world by his voice.

"Umm." I said while trying to gather my thoughts.
