"Siya?" Abhi whispered in the darkness.

He had knocked before entering her room for the first time in his life only to get no answer.

"Siya?", he whispered again before switching on the table lamp near the bed. The little lamp, bathed the empty bed with warm light.

He looked around to find her sitting on the window seating with her head resting on the window pane, looking out into the starry night. It wasn't till he reached the window that he realized she was sleeping.

He sat on the window sitting facing her and watched her silently as his heartbeat accelerated. She looked so peaceful while she was asleep. Her eyelids covering her beautiful eyes, her short nose, her full beautiful lips, her long dark hair falling on her right shoulder, a novel in one hand and her glasses in other. She had changed into a loose white kurta and pyjama, comfortable geeky clothes that she always wore to bed. Something inside him stirred. God! He thought. She is breathtaking and she is mine! God!

He smiled as he moved close to her, till his nose was touching hers. He took a deep breath and kissed her forehead lightly. He didn't miss how his heart hammered when his lips met her skin. What the hell is wrong with me!! How could I have gone all my life without experiencing this insane pull for anyone??  He backed away a little, before sighing at how much he wanted to take her in his arms, and snuggle her against his chest.

"Okay! Let's not go there", he whispered. But he couldn't leave her like this could he? He should at least lay her on her bed! He smiled at the multiple excuses and reasons his brain came up with to touch her.

Finally he decided all those reasons were valid and he gently lifted her in his arms. He felt a thrill go through him, when her head against his chest.

"Why is your heart beating so fast? Am I that heavy?" He froze as he heard her whisper in his shirt.

"How long have you been awake?" He asked her frowning.

"For long. I haven't been sleeping at all actually. Just wanted to trouble you." She said, looking up with a mischievous look.

"Watch what you say missy! I might just throw you off the balcony!" He replied, pretending to be angry, and rocking her in his arms.

She put her arms around his neck and said, meeting his eyes, "I know you won't".

"So sure?"

"Amhmm!"

He strode across the bedroom to the balcony and went over to the ridge.

"I am so gonna drop you!!!" He said and suddenly lowered his arms. She shrieked and hugged herself tightly to him.

"Don't you dare!! Abhi don't you dare leave me!!"

"What happened? Afraid of ruining your pretty little face?" He said, his body shaking with laughter. She was still clinging close to him, only this time she didn't yell. He thought he must have crossed the line or something.

He slowly walked away from the balcony back into the bedroom. All the while he carried her to the bed, neither of them said anything, her grip didn't slack too.
