Cold Hearts

Chapter 23

*Aman Pov*

I actually thought we are moving forward but hearing her words just made one thing clear. That it may not happen anytime soon.

I can understand that she is terrified but I never thought she will pretend just to make sure I am close to Angel. I am happy about one thing that because of all these I got close to that baby.

But it just hurts a little to know the girl I love actually doesn't even like me. I wanted to move away from this room but she is not letting me at all.

Then suddenly she pulled me by my collar and pressed her lips. I just froze in that moment. Pia continued to press her lips but I didn't move at all.

"I know you are angry at me but kiss me back." She mumbled on my lips and placed her both hands around my neck.

And that's when I moved my lips along with her as she is doing. She tugged me even more near her making me press her between me and the door.

Placing my hands on her waist tightly I kissed her back following her direction. Few seconds later we stopped to take breath and then I pressed few kisses on her jaw and then to her neck.

"Aman!" she said tugging my hair making me stop in my tracks.                          

I moved back a little to see that she closed her eyes and by my moment she opened her eyes dazedly asking "What happened?"

"You said 'Aman'!" I replied frowning.

"Is that a wrong thing to do Aman?" She asked looking at me.

"You stopped saying my name for all these years like you said to Nikhila." I stated what I heard the first day of our marriage.

"Yeah! But l just don't want to call you by any other name anymore." She said shaking her head.

I smiled and said "I loved my first kiss."

"First kiss?" she asked confused. I cursed myself in my mind and started thinking to give some reply to that.

"I too felt like this is my first kiss." She said smiling and hugged me.

I hugged her back and asked "Are you still pretending?"

She cursed herself loudly and removed herself from me saying "I never pretended any of our moments Aman. But the way I moved forward is for Angel if I am being honest."

"So that means whatever you said to me that day after dragging me from my office are true?" I asked her.

"Yes everything is true but the reason behind is the thing I hided from you. Call me a coward but I am terrified to move forward." She replied placing her forehead on my shoulder.

"And now?" I asked her with small hope.

"Now the reason will be for us to move forward. And you must trust me because I am sure if I moved away from you then you will still take care of Angel." She replied looking at me.

"This time shall we date really?" I asked placing my hands on both sides of her head.

"Yes! We will and I will not over react." She replied smiling.

"Your smile is beautiful and I missed it so much." I said smiling back.

"I always smile Aman." She said frowning.

"But not with your eyes. And yes I can tell the difference immediately." I said and placed my hand on the door knob.

"Where are you going? Are you still angry at me?" she asked frowning.
