Chapter 45
She woke up with a slight smile for reasons completely unknown to her...she got up and stretched her body to get rid of the lingering lethargy that the drink from the previous night had caused. When she opened her eyes fully, she was shocked to see that she was sleeping in Aditya's living room..on the couch.
He must have dropped me here last night..and tucked me away...her eyes gleamed when she held up the sheet that covered her. She looked around but there was no sign of him...he was nowhere to be seen...a little disappointed, she made her way to the bathroom.
She had to be up and about if she was to make it to her flight. She was going away for a week to the Caribbean to her cousin's place. When she saw herself in the mirror, curiosity filled her mind...she looked a bit different but couldn't really tell what the difference was. Whatever it was...it was very subtle and glaringly obvious, both at the same time.
Just then her hand came up to caress the skin on her forehead...right where he had kissed her. She closed her eyes as it transported her to the open deck of the cruise the night before...she felt the skin everywhere he had touched her...her cheeks, her forehead and her lips...and quite mysteriously, all those spots felt softer...smoother...and more appealing.
She somehow managed to bring herself out of her reverie and removed the top she was still wearing from last night. When she pulled it up to her face to remove it completely, her hands automatically stopped when she inhaled his scent...she remembered their dance from last night and a chill went down her spine causing her to arch when the sight flashed by her mind...she had dug deep into his crook and he had placed her arms across her belly to bring her closer...She held the towel rack firmly then...to prevent from falling...she thought she was going to melt from the heat that enveloped her body now. She managed to get a hold of her emotions and urged herself to think practically when her mind refused to wash all his closeness that she so badly wanted to preserve. And as she forced herself into the shower she wondered if she would get to see him before going to the airport...

He lay in his bed lazing around, not wanting to get up...not wanting to part with the thoughts that filled his mind...her thoughts from last night. He jerked up in bed when he realized she was going to be away for a whole week. He quickly got ready and made his way out the house in hope of catching her before she leaves. When he got to the bottom of the stairs and opened his front door, he saw her standing right in front of him...wearing the warmest smile he had ever seen.
He pulled her inside and closed the door behind her...taking her by surprise. When the surprise refused to leave her face, he backed her against the door crushing her lips with his with such force that she stood completely still...although her heart was now pounding in her chest. His lips started trailing down her chin and through her neck where it stayed to rub the soft skin at its base between his lips. Overwhelmed by this new feeling, her hands automatically moved up his arms and around his neck...snaking through his hair. His hand went behind her around the waist and he pulled her closer to him then...making her arch giving him more access to the neck. A wildness took over him as his hands started pressing against her shirt as they moved around her back.
"I love you Rohan..." he heard her say in a moan and his lips and hands and his whole body stopped moving all at the same time...he went completely motionless... She stood still at the same time he did...she realized what he had realized at the same time. He looked from her neck up to her face...terror running through his chest clenching and pinching hard...his face and mind both went blank when he saw it wasn't her...it was Naina...
