" Kiss Me "

She's different. She's really different. She's different because she's real. He can tell you a lot about her. She's someone with an enormous heart.

She will go to great lengths and risk herself in helping out someone. She's the one damnest specimen of craziness with class and confidence with vulnerability.

Annika Shivaay Singh Oberoi, she's unafraid of being an open book. She wouldn't expect anyone to notice her or to listen to the things she has to convey for attention. She's really fragile and it takes very minuscule for her to be hurt, as she takes everything in heart.

It was an Arranged Marriage with unaffected feelings. She know where to draw the line and be a woman. She can handle herself, as she's the alpha in her own way. No wonder he like her.

She's honest and beautiful. And he couldn't help but grin as an egocentric, having all herself just to be his.

She's timid when it comes to intimacy. He have no complaints but her bashful eyes with the fluttering eyelashes. A sight to behold. Letting someone closer to her is a rare thing to be happened.

He have his own terms of desires and subjects to be poured on her. She always take care of him. And the smile which flashes on his lips while looking at her, he have to believe in the love inside of him even if she's not there to witness it as it blooms. By all means.

" Boss you have a text message "

Shivaay heard the Google Assistant's voice and kept the Espresso Cup on the table while licking his lower lip, intaking the bitterness into his taste bud. He sighed in relief picking up his phone.

"Finally...man, finally, the network is back" Shivaay clicked on the text message and astonished to find innumerable messages and missed calls from his wife. Despite, the shock he felt loved.

Shivaay paid the bill amount to the waiter and walked towards the exit, flipping his phone. The rain has reduced, seemed like a good condition to drive back.

"Thank God ! It's just drizzling" Shivaay unlocked his mobile to call his wife and that's when he saw a figure came running towards him.

"Annie ?! What are you doing here ? God you're drenched. Mad Woman, come here" Shivaay questioned or say fumbled in worry and took out his coat to cover her trembling body.

"I called and texted you several times but you were not responding. So I took the alternative way and ended up taking bath in the rain" Annika said while pressing a nervous smile.

"What would I do with you Annie ?" Shivaay disbelievingly nodded and led towards his car.

"I came in my car Shivaay" he stopped and propped backwards to see her car parked, door left unclosed. Clumsy kid.

Shivaay got the key from her and locked the car. "Khanna will bring the car. For now, come with me." Annika nodded pulling the coat closer above her chest.

Shivaay explained the fatigue situation with her and wiped the rain droplets from her face with a handkerchief. "Shivaay, I'm so dumb nahh.." Shivaay smiled and pressed a butterfly kiss against her cold palm.

Strangely Annika was silent, all the way to their house. "Is everything alright Annie ?" Shivaay asked sensing something amiss. Annika without a word just nodded. She further pulled and bear the coat with her body.

Reaching their house, Shivaay informed Khanna to bring her car. He felt her hand's back brushing against his. Shivaay's inner radiance ceased to shine. This girl has his heart already.

He knew that from the excitement that filled her and him, on their Sangeet Ceremony and when they first saw each other, into their eyes that he was in love with her.

She interlocked her hand with his hand. God, it's never been her. He know, she's initiating intimacy despite her phobia. He said nothing but felt wonderful.

She's a philematophobia person. The fear of kissing, is common among inexperienced kissers and newbie spouses. But she dissipates the most and quick.

Neither he have the experience of kissing someone, but he always wanted to have her lips on his, the intense pull.
But her comfort is what he prioritise than his need.

"You don't have to be nervous Annie. Relax" Shivaay assured and pressed the hold. The moment was only showing tree in forest, Milky Way in galaxy, and grain of sand into his enigma, and that's so much more than that.

To be Continued...
