Jeeva POV

It was with a lot of trepidation that I walked out of the bedroom. But all my thoughts and worries fled as soon as I entered the hall... Delicious aroma wafted out into the hall from the kitchen making my mouth water... I was a goner!! This guy could cook!!!

'Jee, I hope you like puttu and kadala curry...'

(Puttu- steamed rice cake and kadala- black chickpeas- traditional dish pic on side)

I walked into the kitchen unable to answer with my stomach rumbling and mouth watering... The sight that greeted me totally annihilated all thoughts of food that I had and made me forget the fact that I was indeed starving. 

There he stood in the kitchen shirtless wearing only a pair of shorts. He had a mischievous twinkle to his eye his face stretched into a grin. His shoulders so broad and his chest neither hairy nor waxed, smooth and dusted with hair that faded off completely at his stomach. And those abs, I could spend my whole life just licking them. Well defined and toned. The waist of his shorts was low riding and ,ade me want to just pull it down a little more so that I can explore those........

'It is rude to stare.... '

His words brought me out of my perviness. To say I blushed was an understatement. My reaction made burst with laughter...

'Shut up Dev... Put on some clothes for Gods sake!!'

'Hmmm, I didn't hear any complaints from you a few seconds back when you were ogling me!!'

'I was not ogling you, I was just lost in thought..'

 He walked towards me, his eyes dark with desire...

'Now what thoughts would that be?'

it was only when the refrigerator stopped my movement that I realised I had been walking backward... He stopped when he was almost touching me and my breath caught. His bare chest was so close to my face, all I wanted was to lick at his nipples that were right in front of my eyes... His scent was mouth watering and his warmth comforting... 

I closed my eyes to block out all the temptation of having him near but that only heightened my other senses... 

DEV POV

Standing close to her was a torture because I knew this couldnt go beyond at least for now. She had just had a shower and the clean sweet smell of hers was filling my senses. Her chest was heaving, her lips parted. I know she felt this attraction between us, but I had to take things slow.

I took the dishes from the cabinet next to the refrigerator and moved away from her. Her eyes opened in confusion. I looked at her faking complete innocence when all I wanted was to  get her naked... 

'I dont know about you but I am starving. You go have a seat, I will just get the food and come.'

At my words she just nodded and walked out of the kitchen into the dining room. I got out the food and we had our late lunch.

'Jee, what happened? I have been postponing this whole talk but now you need to tell me...'

She let out a chuckle at my question. Her eyes were weary and tired. I knew she was in a lot of pain. I had no clue why... 

'Ah Dev, I dont know where to start... There is so much that you dont know about... So much has happened since school.. Academically and professionally I have been soaring... But personally I have been just one huge mess... '

'I have time... I need to know it all... There is so much that you have been struggling to deal with... That too all alone... I dont understand why you never thought to look me up or talk to me... You know I would be there for you... Well no point talking bout that.. Just tell me dear... What was going on...'

I held her close to me on the sofa... With her head resting on my shoulders and my arms around her waist and her fingers entwined with mine she started updating me on the mess she made of her life... 

JEEVA POV

Time does fly... Thinking back it all seemed like yesterday... I was so innocent.. High school was an experience I looked forward to.. I was like a caterpillar just waiting to bloom... A complete tomboy and a proper nerd... 

And then I fell in love.. With Raghav, the sweetest senior who anyone could have.. Unlike others he never made fun of me or try to undermine me... I had so much fun with him. Life just seemed so much brighter.. Each day I waited to see him.. my heart thundered every time I got a glimpse of his face or heard his voice... He was so patient with me... Who wouldnt fall in love with him... 

Prakrit was my classmate and friend who always made it a point to criticize me and tell me how Raghav would never consider me as a girlfriend... His jibes got worse each day till I went ahead and confessed to Raghav my feelings fro him.. 

My sweet raghu being the gentle man he was didnt reject me and agreed to go along with the whole thing... Well things were good once again.. Of course nothing much romantic happened between the wo of us.. thinking back i realise that nothing at all changed.. we just redefined our realtionship but it didnt change the way we behaved with each other..

That should have given me a clue that we weren't meant to be.. But I was in denial... And I didnt want to create any awkwardness between the both of us... Prakrit was pissed off that I was Raghu's girlfriend but I never gave it much thought... 

One day things changed.. My beautiful cousin My beautiful cousin joined at our school.. For raghu it was love at forst sight.. Yet out of his loyalty to me he kept away from her... realising that I broke up with him. his happiness was more important to me... Prakrit kept taunting me nad reminding me of my worhtlessness... But with Raghu graduating from school and Dev joining at my school and becoming my best friend life was good again. 

But life is indeed a roller coaster.. We never stay happy forever. Prakrit stopped bothering me but Dev's devotion kept me off balance. I felt horrible about his feelings for me which I was unable to reciprocate. I broke his heart a few weeks before graduation and he left for London as soon as exams were over...

College started and I kept myself away from relationships. Surprisingly Prakrit turned up at my college and he appeared to have turned over a new leaf. We became good friends. he told me that it was his feelings towards me that made him act like a jerk. But I was still in love with raghu and so I kept our relationship purely friendly..

It came as a delight and surprise fro me when Raghu came back into my life. Sandhya had broken off with him and he was totally depressed... I was stupid to project my feelings onto him and started hoping he would fall for me.. Prakrit warned me against repeating the same mistake and I refused to give heed to his warnings... I got my heart broken again when Raghu got back with Sandhya just when I thought we would be together...

In my depression my only solace was Prakrit whose heartfelt confession moved me... he was so charming and convinced me that i was in love with him... I guess it was more the idea of being in love than actually loving him that got to me.. 

Life was once again full of happiness.... But it didnt take long for him to show me his true colours....
