***Sahana's P. O. V***

Walking towards the wine-red Honda City, Arush only let go off my hand to take out his car key and unlock the car.

"Hey wha...woa... What are you doing Sahana?" Arush asked as I put my hand on the back door.

"Getting into the car?" I said, unsure of my own answer.

"Right... But why the back seat?" Arush asked, raising his eyebrow.

"I... Uh... I.. " I stuttered, not knowing what to say.

In reality, my brain was in conflict can with my body which craved to be held by Arush again... craved his warmth.

"You are sitting in the front passenger seat Sahana" Arush said in a tone of finality, and without even waiting for my reply, he pulled open the door of the back seat, kept my bag and his bag and blazer inside the car and closed the door with a thud.

Then, Arush opened the front passenger door for me and rubbing the nape of his neck he said "Get in Sahana"

I nodded my head and with trembling feet made my way towards him and finally got into the car.

Closing the door behind me, Arush walked over to the driver's side in style and got in, putting on the seat belt once he shut the door and all the while I eyed him like a hawk, silently appreciating this Greek God's physique.

"Sahana... Belt" Arush said, bringing me to reality.

Blinking my eyes in confusion, I instantly darted my eyes to his pants belt, remember the incident from earlier and blushing again.

"Not my belt Sahana... I meant the seat belt" I heard Arush say in a soft tone and I shot my eyes to him - what seat belt?!

But Arush didn't say anything else... Instead, he started moving towards me and for some reason my heart started hammering inside the rib cage again, and I bit my lip to stop it from trembling in nervousness.

Arush stopped when his face was just an inch away from mine, and keeping his gaze locked on my face, I saw his hand moving towards my left. For one wild moment I thought he was reaching for my breast... But even before I could process what's going on, Arush's hands were near the right side of my waist, and only when I heard a loud click did I realize that he was putting on the seat belt for me.

Probably Arush guessed what was running in my mind because he shook his head as though in disbelief. I felt his warm hand on my face and suddenly, his thumb was tugging my lower lip out of the grip of my teeth, while his other hand was resting on the seat right above my head.

"You're adorable" he said finally and before I knew it, he had planted another kiss on my forehead, leaving me flustered and breathless.

I could actually feel my cheeks reddening and am a 100% sure that my blushing cheeks are one of the main reasons for global warming!!

"T... T... Thanks" I stuttered with Arush's breath still fanning my face.

"What was the thanks for?" Arush breathed, looking deeply into my eyes.

I started wondering - why did I say thanks in the first place?

"I.... I..." I stuttered in confusion - why was I thinking him?!

"What am I to do with you Sahana?! You're so cute" Arush said, smiling, with his hand caressing my cheek.

I closed my eyes to the amazing senses bursting throughout my body, this whole new feeling of WOW making my brain go haywire....my breathing became slow and even and I felt a little dizzy due to this overwhelming feeling. It felt so warm and so.... amazing.... can I please be like this forever?!

At that precise moment, I felt something hairy brush my cheeks, his breathing becoming uneven unlike mine before something wet and warm touched my cheek!

I shot my eyes open in time to see Arush's face lingering near my cheek and that's when I realized he'd just kissed my cheek.

Wait what?!

Arush slowly pulled away but still keeping his face an inch away from mine, he looked into my eyes, a sudden crease between his well grown eyebrow. Was that..... Was that rejection in his eyes?

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to..." Arush began but stopped seeing how I put my right hand on his cheek, not knowing what else to do.

Frankly speaking I myself didn't know what I was doing, and why, but all I knew is I couldn't bear to see that rejection in his eyes again, and I liked what was happening... what had happened so long...

Though he looked confused and a little shocked, I saw the feeling of rejection vanish from his eyes as realization dawned upon him - making his cheeks grow into a deeper shade of pink with every passing second.

Damn he looks so adorable!! And without able to control myself, I moved forward and without any hesitation, placed a small kiss on his bearded cheek.

Though I expected the beard to feel tough and maybe scratch my face, nothing of the sort happened! On the contrary, his beard felt smooth and soft - would that how his hair too would feel between my fingers?!

Arush's face now resembled a bright red ripe tomato as I moved away from him, and with great difficulty stopped myself from pinching his cheeks - why's he so adorable?!

A phone buzzed {normally it'd have been almost inaudible, but given the silence in the car and the heated moment, it sounded like a bomb blast} from somewhere within the car, making both me and him jump.

Still staying so close to me, Arush put his free hand  {the one that wasn't resting right above my head} inside his pocket and after a few seconds, retrieved his phone while muttering "sorry that's ... My phone"

Tearing his eyes away from me, Arush looked down at his phone, while I continued to observe his face - you know I could just spend my days looking at that face and reading his expression, as long as there's a smile etched on his pretty face!

"Hmpf it's a text from your brother.... Says he has  plans to watch a movie this evening and has already reached home... And that I and you are to meet him there if we're to join him for the movie" Arush said, still looking at his phone.

Another loud buzzing and Arush said "hmpf and this one's from Raj, saying he too is bailing out because he has plans with a girl"

I hardly took in what Arush was saying and couldn't even help myself from moving my hand towards his face and caressing his face. I slowly moved the tip of my index finger across his forehead, his perfect brow and along his perfect long nose. I caressed his beard with my thumb, feeling his beard - damn it's smooth! Finally moving my thumb to his lip, I caressed the length of his lip, reveling in the smoothness and softness and plumness of his lips - so warm and soft and plump!!

I smiled to myself, feeling his lip - it's smoother than even my lips!

I looked up to meet his eyes, which had gone dark now - dark with passion. His pupils had dialated completely, making me just realize what if done - Oh God!!

This isn't going to end well!!
