Silent Affair (On Hold)

Chapter Thirty Five

Sunlight began to peek in to the room, awakening Khushi. She slowly opened her eyes, her vision at first blurry, and then clearing up and reminding her where she was.

Wait, so then last night... it wasn't a dream.

A small smile spread across Khushi's face as blush rose to her cheeks. She remembered the events of the night before, and her body instantly hummed, giving her a small reminder of the feelings she had felt the previous night.

"Morning."

Khushi looked up to see Arnav at the door, dressed casually in pjs and a t-shirt. She looked away, feeling her cheeks heat even more. Arnav couldn't help his smile and made his way over to her, sitting down beside and placing a kiss on her cheek.

"How are you feeling," he asked softly, placing his fingers in her hair, cradling her cheek.

Khushi nuzzled into his embrace, letting him know that she was okay.

"You sure?"

Khushi nodded and placed a kiss in the palm of his hand, then placed her hand over her stomach.

"I had a feeling," Arnav grinned. "You were so picky last night with your food," he chuckled.

Khushi frowned at him. It was with good intentions, I didn't want to end up eating any snails you might have tried to sneak in there. 

"Okay, okay, put the frown away before they become permanent," and he kissed her forehead.

Instantly, Khushi's frown went away.

"Good. I already ordered breakfast for us and it should be up soon. Why don't you get ready and meet me in the other room."

Khushi nodded and Arnav placed another kiss on her forehead. He got up and was about to leave, when he turned back around and nuzzled Khushi's nose.

"Love you," he said softly.

Khushi couldn't help her grin and nuzzled him in return, making Arnav smile.

"Now quickly get ready. Next thing you know the food arrives and it'll get cold."

Khushi nodded and Arnav left the room, shutting the door behind him. After a few moments passed, Khushi laid back down and wiggled with joy, beaming brightly!

This is real, it's all real! Last night was real, this just now was real - it's all real!

Khushi reached her arms out and felt the bed beneath her.

Last night... it was magical. He was so kind- except for those few moments he teased me, she frowned, but I guess he did so that I would be comfortable. But all in all... oh my gosh!

Khushi sat back up and looked around the room. Her sari was no longer a mess and was folded properly, courtesy of Arnav. She went over to it and held it, remembering the brief moments with it the night before. Bunching it up in her hands, she buried her face in it and let out a small squeal.

I'm not dreaming at all!

Khushi placed the sari down and quickly went into the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror and analyzed herself - she didn't look any different, other than the ridiculous grin on her face, but she felt different. She remembered the way Arnav had touched her and her hands moved her in that way, remembering the night before.

Last night was truly magical and Arnav....

Khushi looked back up into the mirror, briefly glancing at her lips before looking at her eyes.
