***************************************************************************************

AKANSHA POV:

Shit! Shit! Shit! How did I forget to bring my dress with me? If Parth hadn't distracted me, I would have taken my clothes from my bag. Since I would be alone, Parth asked me to stay at his house. And since I love Parth, I gladly accepted it. But when am I going to express my feelings? How am I going to?

But the problem for now is that my dress is outside and I am only in a bathrobe. Parth must have gone to the kitchen or hall or somewhere else. With little hope in my heart, I opened the door and peeped to see if Parth was there. And luckily no one was there! Yay!!

Oh no!! What is he doing at that corner with the flower stand? But luckily since his back was facing me, I slowly tip-toed towards my bag which was lying safely on the bed.

Everything went smoothly until I reached my bag. "Ouch! ",I yelped when the bed contacted my ankle in full force. I mean in a hurry, I hit my leg causing me to yelp in pain.

I looked at Parth to see him jerk in panic! Sweat beads formed on his head. Is he nervous seeing me in a robe?

"It's okay Parth; you can continue your work. I am going to change. "

His face changed from panic to relief! This wasn't what I expected from him! I am standing in a Fucking bathrobe and he looks so calm about it now!

"What are you wearing Akansha? ",Parth asked suddenly as if he just now recognized that I am wearing a bathrobe! Bathrobe? Oh shit!! I need to change.

With that thought in mind, I rushed inside with my clothes.

I heard Parth calling me but I ignored it and rushed inside and locked the bathroom door.

Even though I wished to tease him, I am feeling a little shy to do it!! Akansha!! You love him!! There is nothing wrong with teasing him!! Then why did you run like a scared rabbit when Parth called you? Maybe I was nervous. Next time it won't happen. Yes!! It won't happen! I guess so.

I changed into my dress and looked at the mirror for the last time and walked outside to see Parth nowhere to be found. When I expect to see him, he is not here. When I didn't expect him to be here, he was there! It's all my fate! What to do now?

I took my phone out to see Kryz's message that Andy is loved by her father and mother. Even though her dad was a little strict with him at first, he has warmed up with him later.

'I am so happy for you' ,I added a smiley emoji and sent the message.

'Have you said it to Parth?' ,her message came after a few seconds.

'Not yet.... Um.. I'm nervous', I texted my dilemma to her.

'Just go for it girl!! ', came her reply.

'Will do. Enjoy there ', I replied to her.

'You too babe. Waiting for the good news ',she texted back.

"So, Kansha has decided to show her beauty to the world ",I heard Parth's voice from a distance, making me jerk a little.

I looked at my simple pair of loose-fit pants and a simple shirt having a mickey mouse face on it! Is he making fun of me?

"I made pasta for tonight. Is that okay for you? "

Pasta? Parth made it? "You know how to make Pasta? ",I asked, a little shocked.

"What do you think of me? I too know how to cook pasta for emergencies", Parth defended himself.

"So, what else do you know to cook? ",I asked him, serving myself the pasta made by Parth eagerly to taste it.

"Um.. Is it necessary for me to answer? ",Parth asked reluctantly.

"I got the answer ",I smiled at him and then took a mouthful of pasta!

"Yummy!!! It's so delicious, Parthu!! You are great at what you make ",I praised him, savoring the taste of the pasta.

"That's a great compliment coming from Kansha ",Parth bowed to me with a huge grin playing on his face.

He then sat next to me serving himself a plate of pasta.

We had our chit-chats and had a great fun-filled dinner.

"I loved your pasta Parth! I am now a fan of your pasta ",I praised his food for the umpteenth time tonight.

"Thank you Kansha! If you say anymore about it, then I will feel like you are teasing me ",Parth chuckled. I looked shocked as he was teasing me. Looking at my shocked face, he laughed more.

"You wanted to laugh right? I shall help you better ",I said and started tickling him.

"What are you doing? ....Stop!! ",he tried to stop me but I kept tickling him. One moment, I was tickling him but the next moment, I fell on top of him on the bed. How did we reach the bed?

I tried to get up but Parth rolled us over so that I was now sandwiched between Parth and the bed.

"Parthu ",I gasped from the impact. His eyes grew dark with passion and desire. My heart trembled with anxiety.

I brushed my hands on the back of his head, closing my eyes waiting for him to close the distance.

I felt his head dipping down and his lips brushed slightly with mine making me shiver at his close contact.

He then ardently, passionately kissed me. I responded to him back feverishly. I felt his hands roaming all over my body feeling me.

"Parthu ",I gasped between the kisses when I felt Parth's hands on my waist. I heard a grunt sound leaving Parth's mouth when I felt Parth removing my shirt. My whole body was flaming with desire! Desire for Parthu!! In a flip moment, his shirt was removed too. Now, my hands roamed freely feeling his strong muscles.

I felt his hands moving upper and upper freely. I felt hot! Parth broke the kiss and nuzzled his head on my neck taking a deep breath. He then started peppering kisses from my neck to my collarbone lusciously.

"Parthu ",I gasped desirously when he kissed a particular spot on my neck. I then felt Parth's hands touch the clasp of my bra making me still at his touch.

It caused me to come back to my senses.

"Parthu ",I held my hand on his, stopping him, suddenly feeling nervous.

He stared at me with desire, lust, want and passion. I stared at him nervously. The sexual tension was still in the air. Parth groaned and sat beside me. I think he is regretting taking advantage of me.

When he tried to get up, I stopped him holding his hands.

"Parthu ",I called him. "I-- I am sorry. I am just nervous ",I said to him looking down.

"There is nothing wrong with you. I guess I am going a little fast ",Parth said in his husky voice.

"No ",I said. "It's...it's just that I haven't been in such situations before. I-- I don't kno-- know what to do. I ---I am just nervous ",I stuttered. I don't know whether he understood me!!

"You haven't been in these situations? ",Parth asked, confused.

"Um.. ",I shied to tell him that I haven't done it before. How can I say it aloud? He has a great experience in this. But I have zero experience. What if I am not enough for him? What if he thi---

"Kansha.. Are y-- you te-- telling me that you're a vi-- virgin? ",Parth asked shocked.

I just nodded my head in response.

"Fuck ",he cursed. I felt Parth trying to get up but I held his hands again stopping him.

"Parthu ",I called him.

"I--- I know I should have asked about this before. It's--- it's my fault-- it's all my fault. I shouldn't have ",Parth mumbled more to himself.

"Parthu ",I called him, making him look at me. He held a guilty face.

"Parthu--- I don't know whether this is the correct time to say it. But I can't hide my feelings anymore. I love you! I love you Parth! ",I expressed my feelings.

He looked dumbfounded. "I know that you don't believe in love. But the feelings I feel for you is love. I am sure about it. You make me feel so many feelings and emotions that I haven't felt before in my entire life. You are the perfect match to me. You know me very well. You don't judge me like others. You support me in everything I do. You were my support whenever I felt depressed. I know that I haven't said to you that you were my first kiss. That moment was a very magical one. And I will cherish it for my whole life. I even want my first time with the one I love. And I want you Parthu because I love you. "

Parth looked astounded. "Am I your first kiss? ",Parth asked in a daze.

"Yes ",I nodded shyly. His face was stricken with pain, remorse, shame and guilt.

"Parthu ",I called him. "I loved each and every second spent with you. I am extremely glad that you are my first kiss. Don't feel bad Parthu ",I exclaimed.

His eyes and face still held an unknown emotion. I hugged him tight trying to make my point physically. The touch of skin to skin made my body sizzle with passion. But my top priority for now is to make Parth at peace. I can feel that he is stressed about something. Is it because I confessed my feelings?

"I know that my confession would have been a great shock to you. But I really love you!! I love you Parthu! And don't feel pressurized. I shall wait patiently for your answer. I know that it would have been so hard for you to share your childhood with me. The deeper I came to know about you, the deeper the love fluttered inside my heart!! ",I said, still hugging him.

I still felt his body stiffen under me.

I retreated and looked at his uneasy eyes with my warm-filled love eyes.

"What's bothering you Parthu? ",I asked him earnestly.

"I --- I am a playboy Kansha ",Parth whispered warily.

"You were a playboy Parth. And I don't care about the past. You were sincere with me. I was sincere with you. That's enough for me. And I--- I trust you Parthu ",I said sincerely, staring at his deep, black orbs.

His eyes flashed with regret and guilt for a second. But it disappeared the next moment with eyes filled with no emotions; nothing.

"I just wanted to express my feelings. Don't feel pressured at all. Take your own time ",I said with a smile.

I then leaned closer and pecked his lips but he stayed still as a statue. I felt a little disappointment for his lack of response. I know that my confession was abrupt. But now instead of feeling content, I am feeling insecure. Did I read all the signs between us correctly? Did I misunderstand the connection between us? Since he didn't respond to me, I stood up to give him some space. But to my sheer happiness, I felt Parth gripping my hands not allowing me to move further.

He looked at me with his eyes burning with fire, desire and passion. I suddenly felt shy with his hot, penetrating gaze. Being topless made me highly comfortable.

"Parthu ", I called him.

I heard a grunt sound. And then I felt Parth pulling me towards him fast and I fell on him. At the next moment, I was lying beside Parth with his arms encircling my waist on the bed. And my hands were firmly pressed on his bare chest. A shiver ran throughout my whole body feeling him. Gosh!! I am going to faint soon.

"I am highly privileged and glad that I am your first kiss ",Parth rasped with his breath fanning my face.

His lips formed into a genuine smile and he looked at me with a spark on his eyes which naturally made me smile at him.

He then leaned down and pecked my lips so softly. The kiss was so deep and passionate, making me lose my senses completely to him. I then heard an animalistic groan and then Parth broke the kiss.

"Let's stop. Or I won't be able to control myself ",Parth said in a gruff voice.

"But I don't want to stop ",I whined, losing the warmth I got from him a few seconds before.

"Trust me Kansha! It takes all my strength to stop this. I would love to continue! But I know that you are not yet ready for it. We have more time with us. Let's take it slow and steady. "

I nodded my head not knowing what to say. Parth chuckled seeing me. He then switched off the light from the bedside and then he encircled his hands on my waist and pulled me close, so that my head rested on his chest and my small, petite body was fully engulfed in his large, bulk, well-built body.

Shit! Did I just offer him my virginity a few seconds before? My cheeks reddened with shame. Argh!! Thank goodness Parth stopped me. Or else, I am sure that I would have gladly accepted him. The respect and love I felt towards Parth grew more. I am glad that Parth didn't tease me for what had happened just now.

"Good night Kansha ",I heard Parth say and felt his lips touching my forehead softly. This gesture of his warmed my heart very, very much. He is too sweet and kind. I am glad that I found my love in him. I am truly damn lucky to love him.

"Good night Parthu ",I whispered, placing my arms on his waist leaving no space between us.

But he didn't ask me whether I would be his girlfriend. Doesn't he have the same feelings as me? Maybe he is confused too. And I don't blame him since I spoke a lot, making him nervous. But I am glad that he didn't push me away. He will surely express his feelings openly one day. I am sure of it. With that happy thought in my mind, I drifted to a beautiful sleep with Parth beside me.

********

The sunrays fell on my face distracting my beauty sleep. I tried to hide the rays falling on my face with my hands but it was too late as I had woken up already. I slowly blinked my eyes to adjust the light.

When I tried to get up, I felt a hand on my bare waist. Hand? I turned to look at Parth who was sleeping peacefully. Oh Gosh!! Yesterday's events rushed in my mind making me embarrassed about myself. Wasn't I even in the state of wearing my shirt back yesterday?

But this is all common in relationships, right? I looked at his adorable face. The last time when I was in his bed, I was scared and in the process, I fell from the bed, falling flat on the floor. And my head hurt pretty bad as I was drunk. But now, I am feeling happy and excited to know what will happen next between us.

Parth is looking like a cute, adorable, innocent boy. One cannot find fault from this innocent face of his. Normally, he would look like a hard person to approach but now his face is so soft that even a small child will not fear him. If I say this to him, he will be definitely offended. It will be fun to tease him.

After so many struggles, I somehow managed to remove his hands from my waist. But the next second, his hands went searching for me naturally in his sleep. I moved the nearby pillow next to him. He snuggled in the pillow and grunted in approval as the pillow smelled of me. I chuckled seeing his actions. It seems he loves me too. He will confess about it soon. I then reached my bag and took my phone to see that the time was 11.12 a.m. Did we sleep throughout the morning? My stomach grunted in response asking me for food.

Someone is hungry. Let's freshen up and go down to cook something. Parth too will get up soon. So, let me prepare brunch (breakfast + lunch) since it's going to be noon soon.

I freshened myself and walked out to see Parth still sleeping peacefully. So, without disturbing him, I walked out. Even though I have come to his house a lot by now, the ways are still confusing me a lot!

I somehow managed to reach the kitchen. Since Parth has given leave for the workers this weekend, no one was at the house.

Since it's the first time I am making him food at his house, I decided to make Aloo Parathas, a North Indian dish. I searched the pantry and found potatoes and tomatoes.

To make delicious Aloo Paratha, we must first boil the potatoes. I then mashed those potatoes in a large bowl and covered it and kept it in the fridge to cool it down. I then took the ghee and coriander leaves from the fridge. The spices like red chili powder and garam masala powder were placed in the nearby cabinet. But where the hell is this wheat powder, a very important ingredient?

I looked at the top most cabinet to see certain containers present there. I guess the wheat flour must be there. But how am I supposed to take it from there? It's very much above my reach. Is everyone at Parth's house abnormal in height? Ugh! I tried to reach it but no luck.

I then felt someone behind me. At that moment a hand reached beside me to take the container I was trying to take. I jerked back in fright but another hand held me securely not allowing me to move.

Yayy!! Akansha managed to express her feelings. And what will be Parth's mindset after Akansha's confession?

And who is that person in the kitchen? Any guesses? Stay tuned to know what happened next ;)

Aloo Parathas is a bread dish originating from the Indian subcontinent. It consists of unleavened dough rolled with a mixture of spices, which is cooked on a hot with butter or ghee.
