A GIRL LIKE YOU

41

"What the-what?" He is totally confused. Obviously. "Where is this coming from?"

Oh you know that place Ansh, named insecurities which are rooted deep inside me and as soon as I find a reason to be happy in my miserable life, they crawl out and claw at my skin and make it so fucking hard to breath.

"Nothing. Nowhere!" I said and turned around.
"Kiara, what happened?!"
Ansh rounded and stood in front of me. He is angry. How dare he be angry? He was the one who got fucking lost with his ex-girlfriend who was eye fucking him the whole time on dinner. Is he so blind to not see that?

"Why don't you ask yourself?!" I hissed.
"God, woman stop making fucking riddles!"
"Don't shout at me!"
This is another side of him that I'm witnessing. That tells me just how much we still need to know about each other.
"Then tell me what's wrong?!"
"Where did you got lost with Preeti?" I asked. God, I sound like a jealous wife.
"What? Is this what this is about? Preeti? Really, Kiara? I already told you that we're just friends."
"That is not the answer of my question!"
Ansh ran his hands down his face. He really is frustrated now.
"Preeti suspected that something was going on between us. So she asked me and I told her the truth. It was like a five minute conversation where she told me that she is happy for me that I'm finally serious for someone."
He is serious for me?
"You're serious for me?"
"Can't you see that for yourself? You drive me crazy. I've never felt this way. Even what I had with Preeti, it was so different than what I have with you. She was stable, a safe choice. You're not. You challenge me, you make me want to kiss you and fuck you all the damn time."
"Why?"
"What?"
"Why me?"
"Because you are you. Kiara, baby what is wrong with you? Why are you doubting my feelings for you?"
Probably because I know that it will hurt like a bitch when it ends, so I might as well do the self destruction. Because that's what I do when I get overwhelmed. And right now I'm overwhelmed with love for this man in front of me.

Ansh took my face in his hands and stared at me. I have to tell him something. I can't tell him I love him. Not now.
"She is the love of your life. And I just don't want to be your second best." I said in a small voice and stared at his chest.
"The love of my life? Kiara she was some girl that I loved. That's all. It ended and I don't feel anything for her now. And My second best? Fuck this. I thought we needed time but you have to hear this. You are not my second best. You know why? Because I am in love with you."
I gasped and looked up at him. "Yes. I love you and I'm falling more and more by each passing second."

I stared at him wide eyed. He feels the same way for me. Oh my god. This magnetic force of a man loves me?
"Do you still doubt my feelings for you?" He asked almost pained.
"I love you." I blurted out. It was his turn to gasp now. "I love you." I said again, testing the words on my tongue.
"Kiara, you mean that?"
"Yes! I love you!" I said and smiled at him.
The gravity of the words settled down and I laughed. God, I'm so happy. I feel like I have something wet trailing down my cheeks. I'm a mess.
Ansh smiled and then he was on me. We forgot about his family or Preeti. We just got lost in the moment as Ansh locked the door and we fell on the bed together kissing. Not long after that, he was inside me, claiming me, making me his for good.
His hands covered my mouth to muffle my sounds and my nails dug in his back as we came together.
"I love you." He whispered in my ear.
"I love you." I said, my breath was heavy as if I've ran a mile.

He searched my face, settling on my mouth, and leans down to plant the gentlest kiss on my lips. I sigh as he drops his torso down to lay flush on my body. I reach around to faintly trace my fingers over his back as I rest my chin on his shoulder and stare up at the ceiling. He shivers lightly and buries his face in my neck, resting his lips against my pulsing vein.
A few moments later he lowered his head and nuzzled between my breasts. I closed my eyes and the sleep came early after the bliss.

I woke up to find an empty bed, with me covered up with a blanket laying all naked underneath it. I opened my eyes and sat up. The last night came to my mind and I smiled. I love Ansh. Ansh loves me.
I got up and got dressed. I have to go downstairs now and face his parents. And I'm feeling so weird about it. I don't know if they heard us last night. What they must think of me?

I looked in the mirror and tried to wipe of the silly smile out of my face. I took out my phone from the pocket of my jeans, to find a text from Ansh timed two hours ago.
'Good Morning Beautiful. I love you. Didn't want to leave the coziness of your chest but had to leave. Didn't want mom and dad to suspect. xx.'
I smiled at his text qnd didn't reply back. I'll probably see him in five minutes so what's the point.
I texted Aaliyah instead.
'I told him I love him. He told me he loves me back.' I sent the text.
The reply was instant. 'Holy Balls. I fucking knew it. Call me when you're free.'
I smiled and put my phone in my pocket.

Time to go back and face the real world. Before I could, come out of my hazy dreamy phase, I heard a very familiar and loud voice.
"I want to see my daughter!!!"
