A GIRL LIKE YOU

47

"I'm tireddddddd...." I rolled the words until I dropped back on the bed with a loud thud and closed my eyes.
Today has been crazy. I had to do so much. First Ansh and I woke up late in the morning, then our morning-uh-activities (insert air quotes here) got us more late. Around 11 we left for his other place a.k.a cherry pepper apartment. We were only supposed to collect our things and come back right away. But instead Ansh and I did more - uh- activities. It's just that part of the relationship where you can't keep your hands off each other, I totally blame that part. And also, we weren't sure when we'll be going back there, so we had to say the goodbye properly, after all, our relationship started there. It was almost 5 when we came back in the city and ate our lunch or whatever you wanna call it.  Then Ansh received a call from work and he had to go for I don't know something with the virus and game crashing stufd. I have no idea, I'll probably learn it later. But it was a wierd coincidence that as soon as we came back here, his colleagues started calling like they knew everything. I really don't know if they do. But I do know that Ansh mighy start gling back to work tomorrow onwards and that is going to suck because I am still not thinking about cancelling my 1 month long leave I took from my office for my wedding. I've recieved some messages about how they are sorry for what happened but I haven't replied to any of them. Better yet they think that I'm depressed and won't disturb me. I don't want to go back to work just now. I just want to be for a little while.
So anyways, Ansh dropped me off to Aaliyah's. Where I filled her in about everything. And then she got so excited she took me out for dinner and celebration. And surprise! On our way back we spotted a. apartment sale. It was like god just told the whole universe to do stuff since Ansh and I are back.
So Aaliyah and I went to check in. I really liked it and it's not that far but I'll probably go look for more before I make a decision.

"Me tooooooo..." Aaliyah drawled and collapsed beside me.
Finally we are back. And I miss Ansh. He hasn't texted or called ever since he left 4 hours ago. God, look at me. I'm counting hours like a fucking obsessed girlfriends I used to hate. People do change.
"I miss Ansh." I said and turned my head from the ceiling to look at Aaliyah.
She had a very weird expression on her face as she stared at nothing and her hand firmly pressed against her stomach.
Oh shit! Oh god!
I quickly sat up.
"Oh my god Aaliyah! Are you okay? Is there something wrong? Are you in pain? Oh my god! I should call vivaan!" I almost shouted as I tried to get up fast enough to grab my phone on the nightstand. But before that, Aaliyah sat up and took my hand and pressed the palm on her stomach.
I looked up at her. "What are you doing?!"
"Shut up Kiara. Just feel this."
That's when I let myself feel it. The baby was kicking! It was kicking!
"Oh my god. Its kicking!!!" I shouted and pressed my other palm as well.
Aaliyah laughed and I chuckled with her.
"Is it the first time?" I asked her.
"Yes." She said her voice rich with happiness and emotions.
"Shit. Vivaan missed it." I said and Aaliyah rolled her eyes.
"Come on. I'm glad somebody is here when I felt it. I'm glad it's you."
"Really?"
"Uh huh Godmother." Aaliyah said.
"What?!"
"What?"
I removed my hands and stood up.
"Was that joke?"
You better not be joking about this.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Aaliyah said.
I literally squealed, jumped twice, clapped my hands, laughed and then I smoldered Aaliyah in a bear hug a little too forcefully that we both fell down on the bed, Aaliyah underneatg me.
"I wasn't supposed to tell you this now. Vivaan will kill me."
I pulled away to look at her face.
"He knows?!"
Of course he does. Why wouldn't he? And they want me to be a godmother. That's just so awesome and crazy because I don't have one feature of being a mom. Well, I don't know if I do.
"You are crushing me Kiara." Aaliyah said and I realised I'm still on top of her.
Yikesss!!!
Before I could get up, I heard his familiar husky voice, "Are you cheating on me?!"
Ansh. Aaliyah must've left the doors unlock.
"Ha ha." I said and finally got up and looked at him. He looked disheveled with a week load of work but still sexy as hell.
"Keep your girlfriend in check Ansh. She was about to kiss me. Eww." Aaliyah said as she got up and took her pregnant belly amd herself out of the room. I rolled my eyes at her comment and Ansh chuckled.
"I missed you." Ansh said and walked towards me and pulled me in his arms.
I hugged him back. "I missed you too." I said and nuzzled his neck.
Ansh's hands roamed to my ass as he kneaded the muscle and tingle spread between my legs and my lower belly clenched. How I react so fast to his touch is beyong me.
"Aaliyah just called you my girlfriend." Ansh said. Did she?
I pulled away and looked at his face.
"Do you mind that?" I asked him cautiously.
"No. I just think that you are so much more to me than a 'Girl-Friend.' "
I looked at him in awe. He just knows all the right things to say. I leaned in to kiss him and tell him thank you.
But instead Ansh pulled away. What the hell?
"I'm not going to kiss you."
I swallowed. "Why?"
"Because you just kissed Aaliyah!"
"What?! It was- what?!" I said.
I'm confused. Because by the expression on his face it seems like he is serious. But he can't be right. He is joking.
Looking at my face he started laughing. "Look at you. If I didn't know you are absolutely into guys, I might have belived what I saw and that look of guilt on your face makes it more real."
"Guilt? This is not guilt! It's confusion."
I am annoyed. He thinks it's funny. It's not.
"Come here." Ansh said and mived towards me. I took a step back.
Well two can play this game, Ansh. It's my turn to have fun.
"Catch me if you want me." I said as seductively as I can, and then I ran out of the door.
A few moments later he was behind me. Trying to catch me. I spotted Aaliyah in the kitchen. She didn't first understand and ran behind her to make her a sheild.
"Come on Kiara. Don't be a kid." Ansh said.
"What's going on!" Aaliyah asked.
"She is not letting me kiss her." Ansh whined.
"Why the fudge not?!" Aaliyah shouted.
"He annoyed me." I raised my right eyebrow at him in challenge.
Then he lunged out to reach me and I sprinted away to the first room I spotted in the hall.
Surprisingly it was the nursery of the baby that Aaliyah and Vivaan had been decorating. There's still so much work here to do because they don't know the gender of the baby.
"You will pay for this tease." Ansh said as he came and we danced around the crib like kids trying to catch each other.
"I don't think so." I winked at him.
"Stop being sexy." Ansh said.
Ohhhh. Good idea. I backed away from the crib a little and we both paused and look at each other. Then I tuck my index finger in the strap of my camisole and slid it down seductively to display my bare shoulder.
Now I'm being sexy.
"That's it." Ansh's voice came out as a strangled moan as he kicked the door shut and closed the distance between us. This time I didn't move away. I wanted to kiss him now. I missed him.
I closed my eyes as his lips brushed mine. But the kiss never came. Instead I kept feeling his breaths against my mouth as his hands trailed down from my shoulders, to my breast, to my waist and then to the fly of my jeans. I opened my eyes and I saw lust and mischief in his expression.
"What are you doing?"
"Let's make a bet."
"A bet?"
"Yeah. Let's not kiss. Let's see who gives in first."
