Just Wanna Be With You

Chapter 15 - Here It Was

Chapter 15: HERE IT WAS

You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover’s arms can only come later when you’re sure they won’t laugh if you trip. ~Jonathan Carroll

KAVYA’S POV:

I had apologised to Avni right the next morning. We had cleaned up the mess in the house together. I had to work that day and when I got back, she had made dinner. She was making up for being idle yesterday. She was a sweetheart. 

I dropped her off the next day on my way to work. She was going back home. I had enjoyed her company and missed home a little less thanks to her.

We were lying on his bed that evening. It was a Thursday. These days most of my evenings were spent with Ahaan. Right now he had his head placed on my shoulder. The last half an hour had gone in chatting about our day. I had to look away from him because he was so irresistible. Siddharth was out that evening and we had the house all to ourselves.

Ahaan was looking at me with amusement. I raised my eyebrow and looked at him.

He said, “I had a question for you if you don’t mind.”

“Ask,” I said.

“Who all did you have a crush on back in college? I just wanted to know my competition.”

I smiled and thought I could tease him a bit. Truth be told, he was my only crush in college. I kind of gave up on guys after the whole teasing business.

But for fun sakes I replied, “Siddharth, maybe. And some other guys too.”

I added coyly, “Siddharth was a quiet guy. No hype surrounding him. After you, it was him. Agreed I noticed him because he was your best friend but I thought he was good looking. ”

Ahaan looked shocked and I had wanted to laugh. But I controlled myself. He didn’t say anything for a while.

Finally after what seemed like ages he asked,” Siddharth, really? So if he would have asked you out before I did, you would have said yes?” he looked so sad I could hug him. But I just wanted to have a little more fun at his expense.

“Maybe, why do you think I was nice to him?” I replied innocently.

He muttered, “You even hugged him that day.”

That was the breaking point. I held my stomach and burst out laughing.

He was amused at my outburst. “What happened?” he asked.

After finally settling down, I kissed him on the cheek and said, “You are such a jealous pig. I was done liking guys after you. And I hugged him to make you jealous and really get over it now. I mean you have hugged me a countless number of times by now and not to mention kissed me like a gazillion times. I mean how could you seriously think I could like anybody but you?”

After listening to my speech, he smiled and within seconds his lips were on mine.

“That would be a gazillion + 1, I guess,” he said breathless after a while. I buried my neck in his chest and we lay there comfortable in each other’s arms.

I knew I was falling for him. He made me smile and laugh. I loved fighting with him because making up with him later was much more fun. I liked how he loved me in casuals all the time. And how he was good at dancing. And how he kissed my forehead every time he met me after he had had a long day. And how when he kissed me, I forgot everything that existed around me. And how he just hugged me when he knew something was bothering me or making me sad.

I thought Love was never happening to me. But here it was in the form of a 6 foot tall, perfectly sculpted, handsome Greek God who was all mine.
