A GIRL LIKE YOU

37

"What are you doing?" Ansh asked from the doorway of the bathroom as I packed my toiletries.
"Packing."
"You are packing everything Kiara. We'll be back by tomorrow morning."

Oh. I kind of thought this was it. My short lived honeymoon with Ansh was over. But it isn't???

"You wanna come back, right?" He said hesitantly after a view moments.
Is he serious? Why did he just sounded insecure. Is he blind enough to not see that I'm in love with him.
"Yes. Of course I do." I said and smiled at him through the mirror.
I'm not going to tell him about my almost breakdown I had when he and Anya were having breakfast and they told me to go pack. He doesn't have to know how terrified I was when I thought he doesn't wanna be here any longer. But I was so wrong.
Ansh walked up to me and hugged me from behind and nuzzled in my neck. I sighed.
The stress and tension of seeing his parents diluted a little.
"My mom already loves you."
"She does?"
"Uh-huh. She saw you at the engagement party the first time in person and the first thing she said to me was, she is way too pretty to be marrying Aarav."
I chuckled.
"That just means that she thinks I'm pretty. It's doesn't mean she loves me."
"She loves you because on the wedding day when I called her to tell her that Aarav is gone and that I'll be staying here for a while, she kept saying one thing over and over again."
"What's that?"
"She kept saying that poor pretty girl. I'll kill Aarav."
I already love her mom.
"That doesn't mean she loves me, Ansh."
"Fine if you don't wanna believe me." Ansh said and grinded his hip in my ass. I gasped at the feel of him behind me.
"I want to have you before we leave." He said in his husky voice and kissed my neck.
I also want that. I don't know what'll happen when we leave this place. I'm not even sure if we'll come back.
"Your sister is in the living room." I breathed.
"Then you'll just have to be quiet."
"Ansh..we can't-" Before I could complete my sentence he spinned around and covered my lips with his. He rolled his hips into mine.
The next thing we know, the clothes were coming out. I hope he had locked the door of my room.

"I think you should drop me off at Aaliyah's." I blurted out.
After we left the apartment, the nervousness of seeing his family had me fuming. I fidgeted with my shirt as I kept thinking about reasons that would help me get out of this situation.
"Why?" Ansh asked as we drove into the city.
"Because I miss her and I haven't seen her for so long."
"You video called her just before leaving the apartment."
That's true. But it was hardly 2 minutes.
"Yeah but there's a difference in video call and seeing someone in person."
"Kiara, I told you we'll invite her to dinner."
"But-"
"I think she is right." Anya spoke up. I thanked her with my eyes.
"What are you talking about? It was your idea to take her home." Ansh said almost annoyed.
"And I know the idea is great. But I also think that it would make mom and dad more welcoming and understanding towards her if they already knew what happened."
She is right. So right.
"We'll pick her up before dinner." She said and I sighed.
"A whole day!" Ansh said.
I looked at Ansh. He'll miss me. I'll miss him too.
"Yes Romeo." His sister gushed.
I chuckled and Ansh looked tortured.

I said my bye to Ansh and his sister and made my way to Aaliyah's doorstep.
I knocked. This will be a surprise. I wanted to text her but I forgot with all the stressing I was doing.
The door swung open and a very pregnant Aaliyah stood in front of me wide eyed.
"Oh my God!" She shouted and jumped me so hard I stumbled back.
You would think that we haven't seen each other in years.
"Easy there." I chuckled and hugged her back.
"I missed you." She pulled back.
"I missed you too." I said as Aaliyah led me inside her house.
I said hello to Vivaan as Aaliyah pulled me into her room.
I know what's coming. A word vomit.

"Spill." She said.
"Hello? Manners? Offer me some water first." I said and settled back on her bed.
"Vivaan bring some water." Aaliya called out and sat beside me. "Spill."
"You already know everything!"
"No I don't. Not the detailed version at least."
Of course she wants to hear the details. How did I forget, what my best friend likes?
Vivaan walked in and gave me water. "You look great Kiara. I thought you'll be all depressed when I'll see you next." He said.
"Me too." I drank the water and gave him the glass. He smiled and left us alone.
"Come on I'm waiting here!"
"What do you want to know? Be specific."
"How is he in bed?" Aaliyah blurted out, like she has already prepeared the twenty questions she'll be asking me.
"Why would you want to know?!!"
"Because I do! Lady, just spill already."
Don't wanna mess with a pregnant woman.
"Fine. He is great. Like really great." I sighed dreamily, thinking about this morning when we did it against the bathroom counter.
"Ohhhhh...." Aaliyah hooted. "Tell me more. Tell me more!" She clapped her hands and jumped on the bed like a little girl. God, she can be real wierd sometimes.
"Do you want me to go through everything?" I asked her.
I don't know why she wants to know. I sure as hell never wanted to know about her and Vivaan's personal business. I could puke just thinking about it.
"Yes! Yes I do. I'm miserable here with this big belly. Give me something to be excited about!"

Her adorable request made me cave in. We both slide sown and laid side by side on the bed as I went into the details of everything that happened ever since the wedding day.
