"Chill, it's me."
.
.
.

How do you breathe? Is it just having the respiratory organs or you have to make use of them? If it's any of them, I don't care because I cannot breathe.

My breathing is irregular and I cannot stand to be alive. It's because just now the most disturbing yet amazing element of my life did something at which I'm melting.

I'll tell you what happened from the beginning.

When KartIk entered my room, I was lying on my bed, but when he did not make a movement, I sat on it leaning against the bed post.

"What are you doing here?" I spat.

"I'm here to be with you all night." He mumbled and what I saw next is the reason because of which I'm not able to breathe. He was looking at me through the mirror  reflection with a smug smile on his face. He had his upper body on display mode. His abs, Oh God! So gorgeous. Why do I become like this in front of him? Why?

"I.. I hope you are just going away from this r.. room!?" I stutter and my voice come out squeaky. I hate this.

"Why? Do I make you nervous?"

"No!" I squeak again.

And then there is an awkward silence here.

"Please stop admiring yourself like a lady on my mirror." I speak out because I'm really not feeling all this as normal.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. You do not have to test my masculinity again and again Deepika!" He says with a smug look and turns around.

"I... I... It's the truth! When are you going to stop that?" I ask, sighing.

He comes closer and closer to me.

"Do you want me to prove you my masculinity, D?" he asks as he sits in front of me on the edge of the bed.

"N... N... No."
I stutter out and see him coming closer to me.

And I break my eye contact with him.

"Really?" He asks tilting my chin to look at him.

I can see an emotion I cannot depict but it's not humour or mischief at least. I get lost into his eyes. They are so beautiful, how can someone not fall in love with this person? And the most amazing part is --

Wait! Did I say love? LOVE? Am I in love? Am I? If I think even for a millisecond, I cannot think of any reason to deny this. There are The Reasons To Love You.

I'm damn sure, I'm in love with KartIk Aaryan.

I end up this internal monologue and a smile creeps on my face. Yes! I'm in love. What else can it be? I fall for his eyes, his smell, his smile, his perfectly disheveled hair and most of all his personality. He cares about me. He thinks I'm nervous when I actually am. I have spent most of my life with him and I still cannot believe I'll end up like this. But, is the feeling mutual? What if he isn't in love with me? What if he thinks that I'm just another ordinary girl? What if he is just using me? He won't, right?

"Just enjoy the moment D. Don't over think." He says grabbing my attention.

Slowly, he starts to lean in and I find myself leaning in too. Let's do it Deepika! My eyes close automatically and we are just inches apart when suddenly I hear the door of my room opening. My eyes widen in horror and I straighten up and sit back.

It's Kabir! Oh my God! He saw us. He saw me doing that.

KartIk gets up murmuring incoherently under his breath.

"Was I interrupting something?" He asks smirking and I cover my entire face with the blanket and lie down again too embarrassed to say anything.

"You just ruined the most beautiful moment of my life." KartIk says. The most beautiful moment? The FREAKING KARTIK AARYAN WAS GOING TO KISS ME AND HE FOUND IT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENT!!! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. He thinks that spending time with me is beautiful? Butterflies erupt in my stomach and I feel so elated.

"Is that so?" Kabir asks.

"Yes! Why are you here?" Kartik asks Kabir.

"I'm not here to look at you guys making out. Diya forgot her purse here. Ah! Here it is!" He exclaims and takes Diya's purse from the dressing table.

"Okay! I won't disturb you guys, but please use a condom." he speaks and I turn into a tomato. I can feel the red creeping on me.

"Guys! Can you stop?" I speak.

"You are virgin does not mean you can't talk about sex." Kabir speaks and I gape at him. I have never ever talked openly to him about this.

"W.. What?" I squeak and they both start laughing and do a high five.

"Guys!" I again speak but breathlessly.

"Okay! But tell me seriously, are you a virgin?" KartIk asks me keeping a lid over his laughter.

"Y.. Yes." I reply.

"Hahahhahhahahhaha!!! I knew it!" Kartik speaks and I turn my face away.

"Kartik, if something happens to her, I'll break your baby producing organs." Kabir says with warning.

"N... Nothing will happen to her bro." He says and Kabir leaves the room.

"Chill D, he's gone. Now, what do you wanna do?" Kartik asks me.

"What? You are happy discussing my virginity." I say annoyingly.

"Common D! Take a chill pill." He says in a sing-song tone.

"Acha Listen! Tomorrow we are leaving for Sanjay Sir's place for the rehearsal. It's very late! Get back to sleep." I say and lie on my side facing Kartik's.

"Oh! Tomorrow is the shoot. Good night D!" He says and lies down besides me.

"Hey? Come on! Go and sleep somewhere else! I don't want you here!" I speak.

"Oh! You won't be able to control yourself. Don't worry! I won't tell anyone that we enjoyed." He turns to my side.

"Shut up!" I say, "Go! Go and sleep on the couch there.!" pointing to the couch.

"I won't."

"You have to."

"I won't."

"You have to."

"I won't."

"Fine. But don't touch me."

"I can't resist a beautiful lady." he winks.

Oh my God! Why can't he stop? He's flirting. Do something Deepika.

"Uh... W.. What?" I stutter. Deepika! You surely need training.

And what I hear next is laughter. Kartik is laughing at me. It sounds.... Lovely? Is this only what people call love? It is like music to my ears.

"Deepika! Why do you become sooooooo nervous around me?" He laughs.

"Uh... I... It's... N... Nothing." I hate myself.

"Come on! Don't get nervous. I know you like me. You should not get nervous around me atleast." He says with a smug smile.
