A PRETENSE...

Chapter 13

*Mihira Pov*

I don't even know what I was doing as my brain got stuck to the point of his voice saying 'I like you, Mihi!'. What? Does he like me? But why? Why does he like me?

However, when I heard someone calling my name, I was brought out of my thoughts and finally pushed him away a bit so that I can concentrate on my breathing now as I even forgot to breathe.

I stared at him and he stared back but glanced at the door when we both heard footsteps reaching us. I tried to calm my heartbeat so that I can talk to... to... senior!

Yes! I can talk to Senior who is approaching us I guess but he suddenly held my hand before pulling me away from the door and walked towards the back end of the room where there is a corner far away from the sight of the door.

Then he pulled me down to kneel on the floor as if completely hiding from the person that is opening the door now.

"Mihira!" I heard my name again and I opened my mouth to answer as instinct, but Abhi covered my mouth with his hand before shaking his head.

"Why?" I whispered pushing his hand away but he covered my mouth again without replying until Senior left the room but I felt my phone vibrating.

I frowned seeing that my phone is vibrating and then I remember why didn't I change it into a normal ringing tone even during lunch as I didn't want anyone to disturb me while confessing.

Confessing? My eyes widened realizing what I had just done and what just happened between us. I immediately pushed his hand away before covering my mouth with my hand and glanced at his lips.

Did I just... Did we just... I groaned before lifting my eyes but found his eyes staring at my covered mouth. I turned away while trying to think everything clearly instead of getting shocked by each thing happening now.

"Why did you kissed me?" I asked finally removing my hand but didn't raise my voice finally fearing of getting noticed by anyone.

"Because I like you." He whispered back and I turned to stare at him.

"That was my first kiss." I whispered while ignoring his words as I don't want to get lost into my thoughts again.

"It was the same for me too." He whispered back and my expression changed from confusion to shock within a few seconds.

"Then what about your Ex-girlfriends? There were three of them." I pointed out and he repeated the question asking, "Then what about your Ex-Boyfriends? I remember them to be two."

"I was getting to know them." I replied but he didn't give any reply with a frown.

"Why are we talking about them? I didn't plan this out and it just happened." He mumbled and I sighed not exactly blaming him because I kissed him back too right.

"I realized my feelings a while back but didn't know how to express them. However, when you said you will be confessing your feelings, I couldn't sit back anymore." He continued while holding my hand in his.

"I am not lying or anything. What is your response?" he added staring at my face.

"I... I... I need to think, Abhi." I whispered to which he gave a shocked look.

"Are you thinking about Ajay? Do you still want to confess to him?" he asked after a few minutes while checking for my reaction.

"No! After... kissing you like that, if I go and confess then it will be completely disrespectful towards him and towards myself too and... of course you." I replied after thinking about it for a few seconds and he sighed closing his eyes.
