Myra's POV:

Today, it all changes. Today, I teach him to love me. Today..

It was nearing 7AM, and I was ready for the day wearing a pair of blue jean shorts and a white and black striped shirt.

I heard a car honk its horn and rushed down to the ground level, said goodbye to Mrs. Jolly, and walked out to the glass door where Kishan was waiting for me, wearing a pair of blue jeans and a white skin tight shirt, with a black leather jacket over the top of it.

I took in his beautiful features, his tall, muscular physique, his broad shoulders and those glittery chocolate brown eyes, in short, every little ounce of him.

He walked to my side of the car and opened the door like a true gentleman he was today, with his hand outstretched to me.

For the first time in my life, he held my cold hand in his large warm ones. Never leaving eye contact, he guided me inside his black Mercedes-Benz before buckling me up.

Closing my door, he gracefully walked to the other side of the car and sat down in the drivers seat. I looked at him in awe as for the first time I had seen a genuine smile on his face, not a smirk, not a frown, just a breathtaking smile.

I fiddled with my fingers throughout the journey until he held my hand and put it on the gear, with his placed on top of mine, "stop distracting me. It's working," he said earning a shocked expression from me.

Was this really the same Kishan? Was the Kishan I knew before today the real one, or the one that is in front of me now is the real?

If this is the real him, I just hope he doesn't go back to being that quiet, somber, heartless Kishan I knew. This is the side of him I love, full of romantic gestures, mischeif, happiness.

I just pray it lasts.

We stopped in front of a shopping mall, and opening the door for me once again, he walked me into the beautiful piece of architecture.

"One large bucket of popcorn and two drinks" Kishan ordered and I added, "and a choc top ice cream?"

"And a choc top ice cream" he repeated to the young man behind the counter.

"Would the drinks be coke?" the man asked and Kishan looked at me as I nodded simultaneously, making him smile, "yup that's two cokes."

We had decided to watch Beauty and the Beast. Well I chose, but he agreed anyways right?

I bit into the chocolate top and relished with the taste of heaven the chocolate brought to my insides. Ioffered him some but he refused shaking his head, pointing to the side of my face.

I tried rubbing my left cheek but he still found something there. Giving up I said, "where is it?"

He leaned forward onto my chair, as I stay put scared of what he was going to do. One of his hands cupped my face, while the other simply disappeared into my curly locks.

His face was centimetres from mine when I closed my eyes shut, curiously awaiting what he was going to do. I felt something warm press against my lips, before the same thing pressed against the corner of my lips, licking the area slightly.

We broke apart, "all gone" he laughed his deep, husky, masculine laugh as I gave him a slap to his chest, only deepening his laughter

When the ending rolled around, I had tears in my eyes as Emma Watson, or Belle, was cradling the beast in her arms. She gave him a kiss of true love, her tears flowing freely, and the beast awakened.

Only the power of true love could free the beast from his past, what he'd become.

And that's just what happened. He turned into a gorgeous prince. I faced Kishan, finding he was already looking at me.

We had a small conversation through our eyes, where I said that I will change him, save him from the beast.

Gathering all the courage in me, for the first time taking the lead into something, I held his face between my cold hands and brought his face closer to mine.

My lips pressed against his. I had never kissed anyone in my life, not even a peck on the cheek, that I had given him when we were really young. He was going to be my first, and my last no matter what happens between us, I had made my decision.

Realising it was his first kiss too, I moved my lips against his, and he finally began responding. To me this one kiss held the value of my whole life.

I had lost myself the day I lost him, now that I have found him, I will surely find myself.

Once the movie was wrapped up, he took me shopping. This was honestly my very first time entering expensive boutiques, I didn't think I'll be able to afford anything in there.

I liked this one dress. It was white, angelic white. The top part was well fitted and body hugging, whilst the bottom flowed like a gown. It was truly made for a princess.

Knowing the price of the dress, I told Kishan I didn't like anything in the store and we walked out, his fingers entangled in mine.

He bought me a lot of chocolate, teddy bears, small things. He stopped in front of a jewellery store and he dragged me inside. He had a quick talk with the woman behind the counter, which I was unable to over hear, and she nodding went through a door at the back of the store.

"What was that?" I questioned when he returned to standing beside me, and he answered simply shrugging his shoulders.

The woman came out, showing off her pearly white teeth, "here you go sir" she said looking at Kishan and then to me, "hope you like it ma'am" and I nodded my head, smiling yet I was confused.

The woman left to attend to some other customers as Kishan turned to me, "this is for you" he placed the small blue box into my hand.

"For me?"

"For you" he repeated.

I opened the box and inside was a beautiful charm. It was beautiful. The prettiest one I had. It had diamonds studded to a thin white gold cube, inside which were two letters, M and K.

"Mira-Kishan" he explained and tears started running down my cheeks. I enveloped him into a hug, sobbing into his chest.

"Thank you Kishan.." I stated grateful of his actions, "no thank you, Mira. For showing me light when it was so dark outside. I-I lo-v" he stuttered as my eyes grew more hopeful of his words, "I need to make a call" he finished, shattering my rising hopes and walking out the door.

I walked out, after a few moments, composing myself. I believe he had ended his call as he stood with his hands in his pockets staring into the oblivion.

Taking one of his hands, I entangled it with mine. He smiled at me as I returned the warmth.

This is so damn cute. Their first kiss...

How dreamy..
