With every step Arnav took forward, Khushi took one back. He kept going until he had cornered her against the wall - a bird catching their prey was the first thought that sprung to Khushi's mind when she saw the hungry look in his eyes. Khushi looked up into his chocolate brown orbs and was mesmerised. His gaze pierced into her soul - a gaze so strong and full of desire that she had no choice but to look away.
Her cheeks were burning, her heart racing so fast that she felt it would burst out of her chest any second.
"A-Arnav j-ji?" Her voice shook as she saw him lift his hand, and ever-so-gently stroke her face, teasing her, leaving a burning trail where his fingers had been. Fireworks exploded in the pit of her stomach, and she was overwhelmed by the torrent of feelings.
In his eyes, she saw desire but there was something else - something that he had tried to conceal but failed. His eyes displayed confusion, concern, regret all at once. He inched closer, wreaking havoc with Khushi's heartbeat. He slowly moved a stray strand of hair from Khushi's face.
"Khushi?" That one word uttered from his mouth held all the emotion that couldn't be conveyed through his eyes. He moved closer, and closer...
Until Khushi forcefully pushed him away.
