Finding us

Chapter 34

"What happened??" Rohan asked again gently, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.

Priya looked into his astonishingly beautiful eyes and told him everything without holding back.

Once she was done, she took a deep breath and smiled sadly at him.

"There's a theory that I believe in.... In every relationship, there's a reacher, and a settler. The reacher always reaches for someone way out of their league. And the settler settles for someone who's beneath them" Priya whispered, tears stinging her eyes.

He was so out of her league! How could she think, even for one second, that a guy like him would belong to her??

Rohan didn't say anything, but stared at her and cupped her face, looking deep into her eyes.

"That explains a lot!" He shook his head and smiled sadly, making her frown.

"By that theory, you're the settler and I'm the reacher" he kissed her eyes one after the other, and she blinked. He's gone mad, it's official!

"Why am I the settler?" She pouted and raised her eyebrow.

"Look at you! You're smart, pretty, funny.... You're so damn successful in your career. You're so mature. You're like this whole package!! And I'm just this guy who got into the industry thanks to his family. I am known as a ladies' man. People just assume I'm a man-slut! But you took me in, with open arms, not once questioning my character" Rohan smiled sadly, twining his fingers with her's before pecking her lips.

"You're rich. You're famous. You could have had literally anybody you wanted! And yet.... You're with me?" Priya's eyes stung with tears again.

This all felt like such a beautiful dream? Even his PA looked so much more prettier than herself!

Priya didn't even belong in this world of blitz and glamour!! She was a simple homely girl, that's all!

"You're so beautiful and smart and independent. You could choose any guy and yet, you settled for me" Rohan pecked her lips.

"You're out of my league Rohan" she fought her tears.

"Me? Out of your league? You don't have a baggage! And most of all, you're so sexy!! And all this, is for me!" He sighed, looking rather contented as he waved dreamily at her chest.

Priya's mouth fell open, her cheeks turning marroon in the speed of light. Her eyes went wide with shock and her heart skipped several beats. That familiar dull ache was back at the base of her belly and her breath hitched in her throat.

"Arre..." She swatted at his arm as he continued to smirk and gaze her with that glint in his eyes, making her squirm on the spot. This was the first time that he'd been so vocal about his thoughts regarding her, and she felt her insides tingle and she blushed.

"And did I mention, that you're a great kisser?? You're an awesome package... My awesome package. That's why, I'm the luckiest guy on Earth, and you're the settler!" Rohan shrugged causally, pecking her lips again and again.

But Priya's cheeks turned crimson and she tried to glare at him - he's intentionally deviating from the topic at hand.

Why doesn't he understand that he's out of her league?? It's so simple! But all he did was purse his lips to control his smirk.

"If I tell you're out of my league, it means you're out of my league!" She hissed finally, glaring at him and swatting his arm again as he snaked his arms around her waist.

Rohan just arched his eyebrow before he burst out laughing.

"Ok ok... Can this guy who's out of your league, kiss you now?? I've missed you and specially these lips of your's" He said, his voice thick with desire, smirking at her and running his thumb over her lower lip.
