He complemented her after reaching near her making her feel hot all over because of which her cheeks turned more pink in colour. While she was busy hiding her face she just failed to notice that unknown dark but intense gaze of his face which solely focuses on her, as if she is the only one who's existing for him in the entire world.
I...Umm..." She couldn't be able to form any sentence at that time. But deep down she was feeling so happy that she wasn't able to stop herself from blushing more and more.
First time... for the very first time in her whole life he complemented her as 'beautiful'. No not just 'beautiful' but just using the word 'pretty'. At that time she wanted nothing except hugging and kissing him so bad.
"What're you thinking my Reina huh?" He asked huskily while holding a very amusing smirk on his face as if he is loving this moment of them very much. Now he was sitting on the side bench of her and his face is just an inch away from her face observing every little change that's happening on her face. At that moment his addictive scent just filled her nostrils making her eyes closed for a moment. 'God... how can a person smell so good!' She wandered inside her mind while taking a deep breath savouring his scent and the next moment she opened her eyes only to see his face even more closer than before.
And that was the moment she couldn't control herself anymore and subconsciously leaned more towards his face only to give a small peck on his lips making him remain frozen at his place.
'Ohh god did I just steal a kiss from him!' She thought and when she realised what she did it was too late because she saw no expression on his face at that moment.
Then only she realised that she's now just got stuck in a very big problem. She should not have done that without his permission, she thought.
He was not saying anything and that's what made her feel more anxious. And there she is fully ready to listen to his hurtful words. She knew she made a very grave mistake and it can't be undone but the next moment he said something unexpected that she was not even ready to hear that from him.
"Never even dare to do this to me again Reina, without my permission!" He said in his icy voice making her feel the shudder all over her body.
"Why? Did you ask me that day when you kissed me without my permission?" She also couldn't control herself anymore and burst out angrily at him. How dare he accuse her like this?
"I have already said that was a mistake." He said in his flat voice as if it doesn't matter to him at all.
"Then also think that this is a mistake of mine and I won't do it anymore." She replied with her unstable voice while tears had already started to brimming in her beautiful eyes.
"Stop it Stella!!!" He groaned angrily at her.
"No you stop V! Why are you always denying your feelings towards me?" She again burst out on him. That time he was saying something but she cut him up and continued...
"Let me speak V. You always say that you don't care for me and you only did that because of mama. But every time I can clearly see those feelings you are holding for me in your eyes. You might not want to accept it but this is the truth. This is the truth that deep down your heart cares for me. But I don't understand why you can't accept this. Just tell me V, am I lying?" She demanded the answer from him.
"No, it's not true." He said firmly.
"It IS TRUE and now also I can see that feeling in your eyes and can also see how hard you are struggling not to let out those feelings in your eyes. And I also know that you mean to that kiss we shared two months ago and also know that it was not a mistake. You did that because you wanted to be the owner of my very first kiss of my life but still you are denying it. You don't also want me to go out with Ryan only because you are jealous and you don't want me to see with any other man other than you! Tell me am I wrong V? Tell me?" She demanded the answer once again making him speechless for some moments.
"I don't want to talk about it." Finally he said this simple one line which just made her blood boil in more anger.
"You have to!!" But she still insisted to him.
"I just lost my appetite. Eat yourself, good night." Saying this he got up from his place ignoring her words completely and then only she regretted arguing with him about this matter. 'No no, how can he go like this. I have prepared all these dishes especially for him.' She thought and then without thinking twice she just held his hand making him halt on his steps.
At last she had to compromise herself because she knew that she just spoiled the moment by kissing him. She thought she would discuss this matter with him later because right now nothing matters more than his dinner. He must be tired because of the practice session and there is no way she will let him sleep on an empty stomach. And then finally he turned around to look at her.
"What?" He asked her in his common disinterested voice. She knows very well that he is faking it but didn't say anything to him. He just returned from school after practicing for hours and he must be feeling very hungry but still pretends that he is not hungry anymore! With this thought she chuckled slightly.
"Don't go! look I'm sorry for kissing you okay? It was not intentional, it just happened like that. No need to get angry about that. And by the way why are you even minding this kiss. Aren't you the one for whom the kissing thing is nothing. So please stay. See I have prepared all your favourite dishes specially for you." She said to him while trying to coax him but it's like it had the opposite effect on him. He then sat back in front of her and told her directly,
"I don't care who kisses me or who is not. I do not even mind or care about anyone who kisses me intentionally or not but one thing you should know is that you can't be that someone. I don't want YOU to kiss me okay?" Then he averted his eyes from her then again continued, "Because your kiss is different. Your kiss is not like those random girls." When she listened to it she got beyond happy. She thought maybe he felt her kisses very special but that happiness only remained for a few moments because what he said next to her, it again shattered her heart into millions of pieces. "Your kiss is different because....because it disgusting me. Do you understand? I don't like your kisses even a percent while kissing you. I just don't feel anything. That's why just keep away your filthy mouth from me and never ever dare to do that to me Stella! Keep it in your mind." He warned her and this time he again fixed his gaze on her only to see her glistening eyes full of tears but she was trying very hard not to let them fall down her cheeks.
She just remained motionless at her place. His words are directly piercing her heart like a very sharp needle. How can he even say that to her? Is he really desperate to hide his feelings from her that much that he didn't hesitate even a bit before letting out those hurtful words from his mouth! Really? She thought but then decided she shouldn't look weak in front of him from now on and that's why she acted like his words didn't affect her even a bit and ignored his words knowingly. But deep inside she wanted nothing but to cry so badly. Finally she fixed her composure and said calmly, "If you think like this V then it's ok. I will never kiss you. Just relax. Now just eat it before it gets cold. I know how hungry you must be now." With that she just started to serve him the foods which were prepared by her exclusively for him only.
He just kept staring at her constantly to find something on her face but except that deep hurt in her eyes he found nothing. Only he knew how he was feeling inside after letting out those words from his mouth which were not true at all. Not even a single word he said was true or he meant. In fact the truth was her kiss is the only kiss he can't get that out of his mind. Even after two months he is still craving to kiss those luscious lips of hers and when today she dared to peck his lips, she just managed to awaken the hungry beast that's residing within him at that moment and that's why not having any other choice he had to tell her those hurtful words...
