Finding us

Chapter 11

Still rubbing the spot on her cheek, Priya stood rooted to her place, hardly able to think, or breathe.

She didn't know who she was at that moment, but the spot on her cheek where Rohan had just kissed burned, and slowly her whole face burned.

ROHAN. KISSED. ME?!?!?!?!?! she blinked once, twice, thrice.

Rohan kissed my cheek!! Her eyes grew wide.

ROHAN KISSED MY CHEEK!!!!! A shy smile curled her lips and biting her lip, she patted her cheek which continued to burn.

Priya looked up to find Rohan looking away, towards the pot on the stove, and a small part of her told that he'd just been gazing at her.

Did he see how she blushed? Did he see the effect of his kiss on her cheek?

Did he see her patting her cheek?

The possibility that he's seen her blushing and all coy thanks to his kiss made her feel very shy and she slumped down on the sofa, taking the dress he'd just given her.

She brushed the fabric of the dress to her cheek and moaned at how soft it felt.

This wasn't office wear... Maybe she could wear it to some party?

Priya flicked her gaze to the man working in the kitchen, with his lips curled in a smile.

Okay he's just seen her caressing the dress too?!

Earth, please split open and suck me in... This is too much embarrassment for one day! She pouted at the floor.

But taking off the stilettos, she put them back neatly inside the box and neatly folded the dress too.

Taking them both, she got to her feet, deciding to put them inside in her wardrobe.

"I um... I'll keep these inside" she spoke to the floor as she passed by the kitchen and without waiting for any reply from Rohan and stormed into her bedroom.

Priya felt incredibly shy and she just couldn't stop the blush on her cheeks or the shy smile on her lips!

Never .. never ever had she felt her heart race so much and yet feel so calm! Never ever had she blushed so much... Ever!!

Even with her one and only ex Kiran, she'd never felt like this!!

A few feet outside the bedroom, Rohan bustled around the now familiar kitchen, making khichdi and salad. In reality, he wanted to take Priya in his arms and kiss her tenderly. Or at least hug her tightly and just live in the moment with her for as long as he could.

But the prospect of a dinner together sounded good too - a chance to get closer perhaps? They say that a candle-lit dinner is the simplest way for a couple to come closer and he now needed all the luck in world to get as close to Priya as possible!

Washing the rice at the sink, Rohan peeked to his side to find Priya walking out of her bedroom. And a desire rose in him - to cook for her like this everyday, and to have her hug him from behind and rest her cheek on his back, and he'd turn around and wrap his arms around her and kiss the top of her head. They'd then share a meal together? Spend some time together, and then go to bed together.

How would it feel to wake up every morning with her by his side? Would she wake him up with a kiss? Or more?

Rohan felt his groin jumping to life and a sheepish smile tugged his lips.

How would it feel to have her soft warm hands touch him? How would it feel to make love to her? How would it feel to...

"Need any help?" Priya's voice snapped him to reality.
