Kiara had a little hope, that he would come back. But she realised everytime they fought, she went back to him, he never came to her first. She wanted to accept the truth that he isn't coming back and focus on her own self. She couldn't let go of him. She went to her friend Tara told her about Aiden and mark. Tara comforted her, hugged her. Kaira cried in Tara's arms. Tara told her, " sometimes holding on does more damage, let go kaira, let go!". Kaira knew he was not coming back, she never imagined her life without him. Her world revolved around him. But kaira wanted to pull herself together, she deleted all her pictures with him, deleted texts between them. She threw all the things he gave her or little things she kept as memory. She burnt all letters. But she couldn't bring herself to burn his small picture. She wanted to keep that and a bracelet that he gave her. She tried moving on. Indulged herself in family. Her family loved her very much, she was pampered more when she started opening up. She didn't share about her relationship with her family. She was trying to find happiness in little things. She wanted to forget about Aiden but she couldn't. She tried focussing on her career. During this she met Mark's ex-friend. He texted kaira, slowly they started talking. Kaira closed her heart for anyone, she was just replying to him. He knew kaira has no intentions of friendship even but he kept pushing his luck. He was extrovert and straightforward. He kept bothering her, telling her about his day, about random stuff. He was famous among girls. He was self obsessed and would start praising himself anywhere. She spoke to him to pass time, to not think of Aiden. Months passed since she last spoke to Aiden. But she missed him everyday. Mark's ex-friend, Harry was fun to hang out with. She started going out with him. They were just friends. She set the boundaries straight. Even Harry didn't find her attractive to date.He also went through breakups and was looking for a friend. He and kaira made a bucket list and started doing things from that list. They went to concert together, they went on a long road trip together, they went for just coffee, they went for adventure park together. They started finding little happiness together. Though after a while, her friendship meant alot to him, she didn't let him in much. She didn't want to get hurt, so she kept telling her heart he is just a friend who will disappear soon. Harry was a type of boy who gets bored easily. He doesn't hangout with anyone for more than a month. He had commitment issues, so he was never in long relationship. He always ghosted his girlfriend even though he loved her. He was friends with his ex. He found peace with kaira. Kaira was in love with Aiden but Harry thought kaira is cold to him because she is still in love with Mark. He didn't know any details about her relationship with Mark and she didn't bother sharing. They used to sleep together on call with each other. She wanted to text Adrian but she thought Adrian might have moved on , he might be happy with another girl who has no drama, don't text. Adrian also deleted her contact, blocked her. They both were disconnected for months. Kaira thought it was the end of their story and not to expect Aiden to come back.She had dreams where Aiden would come, grab her and kiss her. But later she realised they were just dreams. Moving on and not thinking about Adrian was the most difficult thing for her. Later Harry got a job, he got busy. He and kaira would hangout only during weekends. Even though he was busy, he missed kaira. Slowly their friendship started fading, she started ignoring him. She started focusing on herself. She started self care, started working out. She worked for her career. Harry didn't want their bond to end that way, even though he was busy, he took out time for her. Harry is a soft hearted boy, who is kind with everyone. Harry was Kiara's bestfriend.
Kiara and Harry used to watch movies together on weekends. One weekend while watching movie Harry hugged her. Kiara hugged him back. Harry gazed into Kiara's eyes, she got nervous. He grabbed her close on bed, put a hand on her eyes and told," close your eyes I have something to tell". Kiara got nervous in the heated moment and she went a little away from him. She made a lame joke to dissolve the heat. They continued watching movie, harry grabbed her closer. Harry wanted to kiss her so bad but he thought," what if this spoil our friendship?What if I lose her? what if I kiss her and it goes all weird?" he looked at her, he couldn't control himself. He grabbed her, hugged her tight, pulled her a little away. Looked into her eyes, she got shy and looked away. Grabbed her face, stared into her eyes even though she wanted to pull away. He said fuck it and kissed her. She didn't react, Kiara was speechless. She never thought anything romantic with him. She didn't want to make things awkward but she pushed him away. He said, " I'm sorry, I just couldn't control. You are irresistible". Kiara told, " you are Mark's bestfriend. I can't do it. You are my bestfriend, I feel the most comfortable with you, I want to do it." He apologized and asked, " do you regret?" she felt nothing, neither she felt excited nor regretful. She thought, "what the heck am I doing?what about Adrian?". She looked at him, he looked low and guilty. She didn't want to break her best friend's heart, she told him," I dont regret our kiss", it was half true, since she felt nothing. As soon as he heard it, he grabbed her, pulled her in and kissed her with intimacy. He showered her with kisses all over her face. Harry was confused since she didn't show any emotions on her face. She liked Harry but she wasn't over Adrian. She was thinking, " I don't want to be that girl who kissed many boys, not judging but I don't want to be. But Harry isn't any boy, he is the perfect boy any girl could ask for. He is a good kisser. And he looks really happy to be with her. She went closer to him, kissed him back.
oh girl, I'm crazy for you. I went nuts when you kissed me back, he said.
