"Are you okay?" Aashi asked Prem the following day, seeing him deep in thought. He was remembering the night before and was silently enjoying the utter agony he saw on Arjun's face. He liked replaying that in his mind. Seeing Aashi hanging from his arm must have really broken Arjun.
"I'm fine baby" he was testing the waters now - seeing what he could get away calling her. He wanted to progress their relationship. Who knew when her memory would return? He wanted to make sure things were a little more concrete between them before that happened.
Aashi didn't know how to respond to this "baby" talk. It felt strange. He had never called her this. But maybe this is how he used to talk to her before she forgot. Maybe he was just trying to go back to how they were. But was she ready for that?
"Are you okay?" He stood up and approached her. She seemed to be in another world.
"Yea I'm fine all good" she said quickly pushing her thoughts aside.
He took a step closer to her and brushed a stray strand of hair away from her face. She was so beautiful and he couldn't believe that she was standing in front of him - what a dream come true.
"What were you thinking baby?" He edged closer. She wanted to step back instinctively. But she didn't want to offend her fiancé.
"N-nothing" she stuttered feeling the warmth of his body close to her. He slowly placed an eager hand on her cheek and bent down. "Wait, Prem what are you doing?" Aashi said pressing a hand against his chest to halt him.
"Baby I just wanted to kiss you, like we used to. We used to do so much more but I thought we could start off with a kiss?" His heart was pounding against his chest with desperate yearning to taste her lips.
"Oh" she looked into his eyes and felt bad denying him like this. He had been so patient with her since she had lost her memory so didn't she owe it to him to at least try to return back to their normal routine?
He took her silence as acceptance. He put his arm around her waist and drew her in close and places his lips on hers. She didn't withdraw or object but this didn't feel right at all.
