Tiya tossed and turned but sleep was far away from her eyes. Everyone was sleeping except her. She looked at Meele who was sleeping beside her then she turned towards Parul who was on her left side, " they all are sleeping, what happened to my sleep," she mumbled to herself.

In irritation she sat up and looked around, Sunny was snoring lightly," He and his snoring," she giggled .

They planned to stay in Kapoor villa . After coming back from Oberoi house they all changed into night attire and slipped inside mattress. This big room has home theatre system and floor was beautifully covered with mattresses . It was especially designed for them , since childhood they share this room ,they watch movie here ,enjoy video games ,do their pajama party and after getting tired they all sleep together.

Tiya reached for her mobile and checked the time. It was already three in the morning, "They will soon wake up to get ready for airport ," she thought and  kept back her mobile and laid back again, tried to sleep but suddenly grumbling of her stomach made her sit back.

" I am feeling hungry," she mumbled to herself, "urhhh I didn't had dinner properly and now urhhh," She sowly slipped out of the comforter, then she tiptoed and walked out of the room. She passed the corridor, whole house was shining in blue dim light.

Tonight during dinner Kiaan was sitting beside her and his eyes were on her, he was whispering sorry for whole time which made her uncomfortable and now she was hungry,"damn", she gave her self mental slap, "Kiaan and his eyes, his kiss and his sorry," she mumbled and ran down the stairs. She could still feel tingling sensation of his kiss.

Kapoor house being her second home, she knows everything about this place from number of stairs to food in the fridge. She smiled and walked inside the kitchen. She wanted to make this her first home, her home. She reached for the light but suddenly an arm shot out and pulled her against his chest. Tiya went rigid, thief she thought and was about to screamed but his hand came over her mouth, Tiya wiggled in his arms but he tightened his hold.

"Stop it Wifey," Kiaan laughed when she tried to bite his hand, "It's me Piya," Kiaan removed his hand still laughing. Tiya relaxed a little and took a deep breath.

"What are you doing here in the kitchen?" She asked without turning towards him.

"What do we do in kitchen?" he laughed pulling her closer his chest touching her back.

"Leave me," she struggled, her heart hammered with his closeness . Kiaan ran his hand roaming up and down her waist, " tattoo girl" he rubbed his fingers over her top, just above her tattoo then he leaned over "my wife seems hungry," he whispered in her ear.

Tiya leaned back against him "yes Kiaan I'm really hungry," she said without hesitation. Kiaan then turned her around .

"Then join me," he took her hand and walked towards the kitchen counter.

He switch his mobile light and then sat her on the top of the counter, "Sit here ,I will get something for you to eat" he said kissing her forehead.

Tiya took his hand and tried to get down , "I will help myself," she said but Kiaan holds her back , "I know due to me you didn't had your dinner properly so let me help you," he smiled and started checking food in the fridge.

"Dal, aloo gobi, Partha, fried rice, dahi Bundi, pasta, salad, steamed vegetables," he turned and looked at her.

Tiya smiled , she can eat everything, she thought licking her lips. Kiaan gulped hard, don't tease me wifey he thought and turned and looked inside the fridge, " Tell me Piya what do you wanna have ," he asked without looking at her.

"Ummm..." She licked her lips again, "some fried rice, dahi bondi, Paratha, aloo gobhi, dal and check there must be dhaniya chutney in green box ," she smiled sweetly and looked beside her, "you are having protein shake ," she asked.

Kiaan took a plate and bowl and filled it with food then he kept plate inside microwave to heat the food. After heating he took the plate, by then Tiya jumped down and sat on chair. Kiaan kept the plate on dining table, " I thought of having just protein shake but now I think I will eat this with you," he said and took a bite of Paratha. They both ate in silence .

After finishing Tiya took the plate to sink and kept it there, suddenly Kiaan walk behind her, " I am sorry," he said turning her so that he could look into her eyes.

"Don't start it again," she said and lightly touched his arm , " let me go," she said .

" Piya we have different relationship ,I....I don't know how to explain but that kiss, I mean...." he paused and looked at her , this time she too was meeting his eyes without any hesitation, " I don't regret kissing you," he said .

Tiya closed her eyes, blush crept over her cheeks, "Key...Keyaan," She pressed her lips together; this man is driving her wild, she wanted him to kiss her again, now at this moment, She shook her thought and looked away.

"I had stolen your first kiss ,I am sorry for that," he said but Tiya didn't turned her eyes were filled with tears she doesn't want Kiaan to see her in tears. Why don't you understand Kiaan that I love you, she thought.

Kiaan looked at Tiya who again was looking away . This time he was not feeling angry instead he felt the pull of attracted towards her ,as if she had him on a piece of string. Kiaan took a deep breath thinking Tiya will get married soon, he was sure but he doesn't want her to go away , she is the right person for him.

She will not leave him and she can never hurt him. With her he will always be free and independent. He doesn't get hurt like Harshvardhan, she won't hurt him the way Karishma had broken his father once, he thought his eyes fixed on Tiya who cleaned the plate and bowl and kept it aside.

Tiya will be right wife for him , she understands him and it's not necessary to have love in arranged marriage, he thought pulling Tiya towards him. He then nudged her neck inhaling deeply he kissed her pulse, " I want us to be more than friends, let's be girlfriend and boyfriend and if you felt something for me during vacation then we will take it further," Kiaan said he leaned in and was about to kiss her lips when someone switch on the light.

"What's going on?" Ridhima looked at them .

"Umm Ridhi ma we both were feeling hungry," Tiya said showing the empty plate .

"I can see that ..."Ridhima smirked and then looked at her son, Whose eyes were fixed on his Piya. Tiya shook him causing Kiaan to turn and walk to his mother,"what are you doing here mom?" he asked.

"Your dad had meeting in Kolkata and he is leaving in an hour so I came to make tea for him," she said.

"Hmm his morning tea," Kiaan kissed his mother's cheek "ok then good night again," he smiled and left without looking back at Tiya.

Tiya too nodded and ran back to the room. Kiaan went to his room while Tiya went to common room were all were still sleeping . She tiptoed and slipped inside the comforter.

" What have I done , I asked Piya to be my girlfriend," Kiaan looked around he was in his room , " I was so into my own world that instead of going to common room I came to my room ," he thought pulling comforter over his head.

Tiya closed her eyes ,she was feeling sleepy but before going into her dream land she smiled thinking about Kiaan and his proposal but she made sure she will not say yes , now he need to woo her.

After an hour✒️

"Get up sleepy head," Samaira shook Tiya , " it's already 4:30 darling Tiya get up from your dream baby," Parul laughed and shook Tiya who was not ready to get up.

"Ummm... no I want to sleep more," Tiya pushed them back.

"Ok Parul I am going to get ready let her sleep, we will tell Honey that sleep is more important to her ," Meele laughed.

Suddenly Tiya pushed her comforter away , " No I am coming," she smiled sweetly.

After getting ready they all were having coffee in kitchen when Aarav entered, " Flight is late due to heavy rain," he said.

"Where is Kiaan?" Sunny asked Aarav.

" He is not getting up," Aarav took a slice of bread and spreads some butter on it.

" Actually Tiya and Kiaan had late night party in the kitchen ," Samaira laughed looking at her friend who was blushing like a bride .

"We both were hungry," she tried to explain .

" Yes we know Tiya Piya ," they laughed .

" Now go and wake him up ," Kunal said looking at Tiya who was sitting on the chair and sipping her tea.

"Why are you asking me to wake him up why don't you go and wake him," Tiya snatched bread from her brother's hand and took a bite ," Thank you," she smiled sweetly at him.

" We all tried baby girl now it's your turn," Aarav said and pulled her up ," please try to wake him ," he said looking towards the door .

" okay," Tiya poured coffee in Kiaan mug and ran upstairs to his room.

Tiya lightly pushed the door and walked inside the room. Kiaan was still sleeping ,she kept the coffee mug on side table and kneeled over his bed, "Kiaan get up we have to go to airport ," she said .

"It's already five why are you still here ,his flight must have landed ," he said peeping out of his comforter.

" It's raining heavily so his flight is delayed," she said.

" I'm not coming," Kiaan got up walked into his bathroom and shut the door . Tiya shook her head and knocked , "Honey is coming Kiaan ,get ready and come with us, I got your coffee also ," she said .

"I don't care ," Kiaan peep through the door , " go Tiya you are wasting time here, I am not coming to airport," he said closing the door again.

Tiya knocked again ," Please Kiaan," she pleaded.

Kiaan didn't opened the door this time, " wait I am coming in 15 minutes but don't go down I need to talk to you," he said .

After 15 minutes he came out dressed in black denim and white t-shirt . He kneeled down where Tiya was sitting , " have you thought about my proposal," he asked cupping her cheeks in his palm.

"I ... I don't know .." Tiya lightly pushed him away and got up.

Kiaan too got up and pulled her against his chest, " you know me ,we know each other let's try this new relationship if we felt that we are compatable then we will get married but no one should know about this" he said.

"You are dealing like Karan uncle," Tiya pushed him away.

"Really," he laughed.

"Karan uncle had asked Rinky aunty same question when they made a fake engagement thingy," Tiya said and was again pulled back.

"I am not doing engagement or anything I am just asking you to be my girl friend, if during vacation we fall in love with each other then you won't marry anyone else coz then you will be my real wifey," he explained.

"Ohh really" Tiya said sarcastically,.

Kiaan kissed her cheek, " you are planning to get married to a stranger," he said looking into her eyes . Ohh why I always feel like kissing you he thought and looked away.

"I need time to think," she said.

" Okay ," Kiaan replied.

" No I will only think if you come with us to pick Honey from airport," she smirked.

Kiaan nodded and pulled her tightly into hug. I know Kiaan you don't love me but I love it that you want me and soon you will love me I am sure , she thought.
