A GIRL LIKE YOU

26

"Ansh." I said and when he didn't look at me, I moved closer to him. I know it's dangerous territory but he have to know that he is not wrong here. He has to know that, he is only human. Preeti did what she wanted and now he is doing what he wants. There's nothing wrong in it.
I touched his forearm and tugged at it and removed it from his face. He opened his eyes and turned to look at me.
"You don't have to feel guilty for something you didn't do. You don't owe her anything. And I admire you for even being civil with her after how she broke your heart. I know its been a while and you've moved on but first love is first love. What she did was her choice. Not yours. What she is doing now is her choice. Not yours. So you don't feel guilty for her, not even for a second." I said calmly as he listened to me.
"If you think that she'll never find someone then you're wrong. She'll get over it just like you did. She'll find someone and she'll be happy. You don't have to be in her life if you don't want to. It's your life Ansh. You hear me, Ansh?"
"I hear you." Ansh whispered and moved a little closer and stared at my lips.

This is totally dangerous territory. I want him to kiss me. But Aaliyah's warning wouldn't leave my head. So I decided it's better if I move away.
Before I could do just that, Ansh completely turned on his side and put his arm around my waist and pulled me closer. I looked up at him.
What is he doing? We are chest to chest. It's too close. I can't handle this. My breathing quickened and my whole body tingled as he moved his hand and brushed the strand of my hair off my face.
Oh boy! I have to do something fast. Before I lose my shit. I circled my arms around his ribs and buried my face in his chest. He smelled so good. He felt so good.
For a moment Ansh stayed tense under my arms. Okay, maybe I made a mistake by cuddling like this with him. But I wanted him but I can't let him kiss me either. Oh, fuck you Aaliyah. You filled my head with doubts.
I closed my eyes and Ansh relaxed as his arms incircled my waist. I swear I heard him sigh.

I feel so hot. It's like someone put me in a furnace. I moved away from the source of heat, but something gripped me tight and didn't let me move. I opened my eyes.
Oh My God!
I Am Spooning With Ansh! Spooning!!!!
Can you imagine?!
This day just keep getting better and better.
I looked over my shoulder to find his breathing shallow. He is asleep with a death grip around my stomach. His face is buried in my hair, his breaths touching the back of my neck.
We fell asleep. Wow. I wiggled a little so that I could remove his hands from around me. God knows I don't want to wake up in this position with him. It would be awkward.
That's when the horror begin.
I felt him harden right against my ass. Yes. I felt it. I almost yelped in surprise, but then put my hand over my mouth. If he wakes up with a hard on in front of me he'll be embarrassed. I'll be embarrased. I need to move. Like fast.

So I somehow managed to free myself from him. In the process of that, I accidentally rubbed my ass against his groin a few times. He moaned sleepily. I swear it was a accident. Okay. It wasn't an accident. Yes I accept I'm a perv.
I left him on the bed as I went to the kitchen. The sun has set. Just how long we slept?
My stomach growled. So I decided to cook.
Ansh walked into the kitchen half and hour later, looking all disheveled, his hair stuck wildly in every direction as he rubbed his eyes. He looks adorable as hell.
"What smells so good?" His voice is deep and husky with the sleep. Sexy.
"Macaroni." I said and did a ta-da gesture to show him my great work of art sitting on the kitchen counter.
He looked at it and he grinned.
"You just keep impressing me Kiara." He said and walked towards me.
Okay, something's changed, apparently. He is flirting with me. What did I do? Did I give him a hint?
Yeah, I guess I did. But they were unintentional.
He bent down and smelled the plate. He looked at me then, directly.
"I want to devour it."
OMG! Why does it feel like he is talking about me and not the food? What changed?!
Oh my poor little heart can't handle the flirty Ansh. I'm already half in love with him. I'll fall on my knees in front of him if he didn't stop.
I ignored his eyes awkwardly and moved away to retrieve a bottle of water from the refrigerator and to also cool down a little.
The tension in so much between us now. And we are alone. I'm going to fuck it all up if it stayed like this. And the idea hit me like a truck.
"We should go out." I set the bottle besided the plates.
"On a date?" Ansh asked.
Oh boy. Way to make it awkward.
"No! Just out. I mean, it's still early. And we've already slept enough. The day has been emotional wreck, so we should loosen up a little." I blabbered on.
"Oh." He said. Why do I feel like shit?
I didn't mean to turn down the date Ansh. I just can't handle it. "You're right. We should go out." He said and started eating the food.
"On a date?"
Why, oh why, did I ask that? I'm a massochist.
"Do you want it to be?" He asked simply.
Okay. Opertaion save your ass Kiara.
I started laughing like a lunatic.
I hope he gets the hint. Which is, that I was joking. Which I was not. But I'm laughing so he has to know that this is a joke. Right?
Right?
I avoided his eyes for the rest of our meal and he didn't say another word. I'm pretty sure he saw how full of shit I am and didn't get the fake hint.
Damn it!!!
