DEDICATION: Secrets are fun to keep, But how long are they fun?

Chapter Twelve

                       Alia's Pov
It's been days since that confession but it still hurts the same. One part of my mind wants to reason with Abhimanyu of course he was drunk maybe he was not in his senses but the other part of my mind feels used. Was I used by him?

More worst than anything is him hating and regretting our kiss which is one of my sweetest memory. All I know is I liked being in his arms, I felt safe and protected. I liked his lips on mine it gave me a sense of familiarity, warmth and comfort. I'd be lucky to have him for myself. But serendipity wasn't in my favor.

"Alia are you crying?" Sitara said. I didn't notice when the tear fall of my eyes. I haven't told anyone about anything that has happened in this two three days.
"No, but I got to know about something today." I said in a suspicious manner to distract Sitara or she'll not stop until she knows the truth to my luck she took it.
Her face was a mix of happiness and guilt.
"Stupid you should have told me. You guys are the perfect couple and are finally together it's a happy thing. But you are gone today. Why didn't you say anything?" I said and mischeifly started chasing Sitara cursing here with laughter and smiles. But I knew she realized my smile didn't quite reach my eyes. She said nothing of course to respect my privacy.

It was late night when I heard the door bell ring. Normally Sitara wakes up on small voices but today she was sound asleep. Who could it be this late at night? I opened the door and found the most unexpected person on my door step.

"Abhimanyu, what are you doing here this late?" I said clearly shocked.
"Was that all I had to do to get you talking?" He said in a rough voice.
"Are you okay?" He sounded a little sick. I touched his forehead he didn't have fever.
"What are you doing here in the middle of night?" I said he just put a hand on my mouth.
"Oh come on not here. At least let me in." I let him in and before I can ask the same question which I've been asking him since he showed up this late he said something,

"I'm sorry Alia. These is why I came here today. I want to tell you something. I really meant that kiss from all my heart. Alia I'm not using you I'd never do it. I like you Alia actually I'm falling for you the more you're with me the more I want you for forever. I know I'm not in a circumstance to say all this but I'm tied. I want to be with you with all my heart. Everytime I'm alone my heart looks for you, not only when I'm alone my heart looks for you everytime everywhere. I never used you Alia I mean everything. I want you. I need you." He said in a husky voice and slowly started covering the distance in between our lips.

I was about to give in when reason hit me.
"Abhimanyu, what are you doing? Are you even in your senses? What about your wife?"
"Alia please can we forget about all this for once. Please be mine for now. Let the world be. Please just be mine for this night." He said pain and need mixed in his voice. That time all I wanted was him too. There was nothing more comfortable than his touch and nothing more safe than his embrace.

I kept my reasons aside and closed the distance in between our lips. He was kissing me with all the love. It felt so light and soft as if he thinks I'm made of glass and could break if he puts any pressure.

I bit his lower lip to which he moaned in his husky voice which tempted me more. After few minutes of us making out I separated from him.

His eyes finding mine. He was trying to say something. I knew what. I grabbed his hands took him to my bedroom and closed the door behind him.

"As you said let's forget about the rest of the world. Be mine for tonight. I'm all yours." I said and he smiled.

He then started to kiss me slowly and gently again. I bit his lower lip a little harder this time.

"Are you playing princess?" He said moaning a little in between the kiss.
"Just reminding you that I'm not a glass doll." I said bitting his upper lip this time.

"Well noted princess." Hearing him call me princess was the mellifluous sound to my ears. He started kissing me this time more passionately his tongue exploring my mouth. He lightly bit my lower lip leaving a mark.

"Ahh.."
"Sorry princess but you said you aren't a glass doll right?" He said teasing Me I hit his chest. He again looked into my eyes as if asking me for permission. I nodded my head.

He picked me up and gently kept me on the bed leaned on me kissing me passionately and the night went into a blur as I spent it in his arms passionately, lovingly and safely sleeping under those muscular arms.

Next morning I woke up early and Abhimanyu was right besides me half naked. Sleeping in his muscular arms made me feel so small yet at the same time safe. I looked at his face. He looked more handsome while sleeping. I slowly brushed my fingers against his lip remembering last night which brought a smile on my face. He smiled as well and pulled me closer to his chest and I buried my face into his warm bold and masculine chest hearing his heart beats.

The happiness was short lived when reasons crossed my mind. Yesterday we lost control and have messed up. What does this mean to both of us? What next? What about his wife?

I guess he felt my uneasiness and looked in my eyes. My eyes conveyed him my message. He pulled me more closer.

"I know what's going on in your mind Alia? I'll tell you everything I promise. And once you heard everything you can decide what you want to do about us? But one thing is constant. Whatever I said yesterday I meant every word. And yesterday night was the best night. It's true it's the most special thing for me. You're the most important for me princess." He looked into my eyes. His eyes were somehow so much comforting.

He left a brief kiss on my forehead before taking his things and leaving. We are going to meet after the college today.

I don't know what is served for me today but I will never regret the decision I made last night. It was the sweetest night for me.
