When You LOVED Me...

20.

*Unedited*

He was so understanding.

How can it be possible?

After I embarrassed myself further in his embrace, and ruined his nice grey-blue shirt, I calmed down a bit. But the awkwardness had crossed the level for me.

But my subconscious hadn't said anything since then, so, maybe he enjoyed it as much as I did, the comfort. No one had done that for me.
Except my bff, but it was ages ago.

Most of the time very simple comment, would left me hurt. Hence I didn't had many friends, they were supposed to joke, that you hadn't took to heart, which wasn't the case for me.
And no one like to walk on thin ice. Even I wasn't. But he was actually doing it, because there was no reason for him to pretend, right?

We were sitting on the dining table right now. He hadn't ask me the reason why I was crying. Can you believe it? He was perfect, he knows how to give space and when to provide comfort. I am thankful, he didn't ask, because if he did, I would deliberately lie to him, which I don't want to do.

He placed a perfectly decorated plate filled with paneer,fried rice,salad and chapattis in front of me. I looked up at him and he smiled.

"Thankyou"

"Eat" he nodded.

I bit into my lip, "

"Are you not eating?" I asked him because he hadn't served for himself.

"I am, you go first." I wanted to say something, but decided against it. I slowly ate a mouthful of rice first. All time Aaron watched me like,I am an alien.

"How was it?" He asked cheerfully. He was different person when it comes to cooking.

"Delicious" I smiled. His smile is infectious. "Now, please eat with me."

"As you wish Mam." He said with slight accent and tipped his head like a butler and started to make a plate for himself.

"Why did you asked me about my cooking skills and said that there will be no one to cook for me, when it was most of the time you cook for both of us?" I asked remembering the little incident.

"I wasn't so sure, then. And I am possessive about my kitchen. One time, Arnav try to cook something without anyone's knowing and almost burned the whole kitchen. So, better safe than sorry." He sat down on the head chair and took a bite.

"Yeah" I paused unsure. "Arnav doesn't know how to cook, interesting."

"It is hilarious, you have to see his face when he stood in the kitchen. It was so obvious it's not his thing" he chuckled remembering some inside joke, his always talk about them with excitement. It was obvious that he loves them.

I just smiled.

"Krish was good at cooking, he actually cook better than me. I don't know how he learned though."

"From your, Mom."

My expression changed hearing than word. I hummed and lowered my eyes. Aaron must have caught the change in air but didn't point it out.

The rest of the dinner passed in silence.

After that dinner, I helped Aaron in washing the dishes.

I thought that our night time was over. I am glad that Aaron lifted my mood up somehow. But as soon as I go back to my room, I will go back to drowning. I was reluctant to leave Aaron's presence. But it was also I who had decided to not bother him so much by being around. He was obviously too caring to point out that I was a bit too mu-

"Mia"

"Yes"

"Wanna watch a movie, after this?"

"Now?"

"Of course"

"Oh, okay."

I put the dishes on their places after drying them and Aaron went to the living room to search for a movie.

"Which Genre you like?"

Of course, Romance.

"Anything would be fine" he nodded at that. It was my first time watching movie with him. Why I am feeling exited about this?

"Ok sit down, it will start in a minute" He played the movie and switched off the light, giving it a threatre like feel. He returned with two big cup in his hands.

"What is it?"

"Hot chocolate" he said nonchalantly and sat down beside me handling me the cup. In our little talks I had told him that I like chocolates, but I hadn't thought he would remember it.

Why it has to be every cliche thing that I like. I was slightly embarrassed to tell him about it. But it didn't felt too much awkward then.

I stared at the screen engrossed in the movie and took a sip, melted at the taste of warm and cool liquid. I almost moaned at the taste. It erased all the thoughts in my head and gave a fuzzy filling, like I was on cloud nine.

Chocolates always gave me the filling that everything was alright or going to be.

But was it because of only chocolate right now?
