AAAAH THE UPDATE :D First off...I can't say how excited I got to see that you updated LOLL I had a horrible and irritatingly interrupted sleep last night...and after 2hrs of finally falling asleep peacefully, I woke up to the sound of the hoover (as you can imagine that was NOT FUN LOL) but as soon as I checked my phone and saw 2-3 wallposts on my FB with everyone telling me BREATHLESS IS UPDATED..it saved me from killing someone LOL you saved my morning!!!! 😆 So I read the update on my phone this morning but the stupid thing wouldn't let me log into my I-F account...thus I had to wait to comment! -_-
Chapter 14: Sweat and Sports Bras
I love the way you've taken the setting of a GYM! I honestly dont think I've seen that one in an AR FF before =)) Atleast not one I've read. Love the relationship the girls sharee...it's so nice to see how Riddhima's fit in so well with the gang and she's already so friendly with Anj & Muski! I literally ROFL'd at Riddhima's question: "Did they spray viagra in the air or something?" 🤣
- - "while other girls turned to chocolate, ranting conversations with their best friends and excessive amounts of alcohol to relieve their stress... Riddhima worked out. Listening to good music, feeling the brisk air on her cheeks and enduring the burn in her legs was the way she released her frustration." -
^ Now THAT was quite inspiring 😆 I think I might just start making more use of that gym membership of mine! :D
I don't know what it is about the way you write, Aphrodite, but you really bring the smallest moments alive! Even something as simple as Riddhima drinking water or putting the lid on her bottle of water LOL it all seems so clear in my mind while reading...It's as though it's really happening. You have an amazingly natural flair for writing. AHH I can't help but randomly add a huge thanks to Mira here, for recommending this FF to me LOL!
I love how the slightest touch from Armaan makes her lose her mind 😳 I don't think I'll ever love a love story as much as that of Armaan-Riddhima...actually, I'm sure of it. And FF's like yours make me fall even more in love with them!!
The way you allow us to know what the characters are thinking and feeling, as well as what they're saying, brings them to life even more. I love how we know what's going on in their hearts and minds, even if it's different to what they're voicing!
"I'm hot and sticky and unbelievably gross."
Armaan scoffed at her last two words....Oh okay Riddhima.
^ THAT was um...REALLY HOT LOL!
Riddhima laughed nervously, "I didn't know the guys in Goa were so.... attentive."
Armaan rolled his eyes.... keep it in your pants boys.
^ LMFAOOOOOOOO!! One does kinda wonder whether Armaan's advice here is for the other guys or himself ;)
Seeing how friendly and easy Atul/Rahul are around Riddhima, and yet there's that slight tension between Armaan-Riddhima even though they have become friends...lights the chemistry between AR on fiiiire! I LOVE that tension!
Armaan-Rahul's convo, with Rahul being slightly protective over Riddhima and wondering what she was doing in Armaan's room, was adorable! Armaan & Rahul's friendship is really cuute and real!
"I know...as much as you like to think I'm some kind of sex fiend. I can control myself, believe it or not." Armaan rolled his eyes at him.
ROFL ROFL ROFLL!
"Definitely definitely page 92." Armaan stated in between laughs. "Damn Anjali...we all know you'd be flexible in bed. You don't need to show it off to all your admirers."
🤣 🤣
Atul-Anjali's segment was adorable and Rahul-Muskaan's track is even cuter! Honestly, I'm a diehard AR fan and never read FF's of other couples...However, I've read every word of Breathless! Including the parts on RM/AA/AN...and they're equally well written. So hats off to youu! I found the part with Anji doing yoga HILARIOUS 😆 I was in bed LOL'ing (like actually laughing out loud LOL)!
Riddhima thinking of Armaan in the shower was 😳 /tehe I'm guessing that she, like Armaan, will also start realising there are some feelings there now ;) I LOOOOOOVED Armaan & Riddhima's little banter outside the changing room...Especially Riddhima's lie/joke about what she told Rahul ROFL! Armaan reacting, to her asking how she ended up in his bed, in a comic way rather than seriously..was totally Armaan!!
The chapter had the perfect balance of cuteness and hotness ;) I laughed lots and yes, I blushed (credit to Armaan) LOL Thank you thank you thank youu for updating! And I hope you update a bit more regularly 😳 because this FF has become really special to me. I guess after DMG ended ('my' DMG ended back in Sept2009) Breathless is one of the few things keeping alive the undeniable and unmatchable magic of AR's love for me! Taaake care, lots of love and PLEASE be back soon LOL! xx
