PreeRan OS: 'I love you.'

Karan kissed her. He had no idea where the impulse came from but then he knew very little of what happened to him when Preeta Arora was around. She had tripped over something as usual and fallen against him as he caught her so that they were pressed against each other. It dimly registered in his mind that they had not come so close since the night of the haveli. She was smiling at him... it did things to him... that smile. There was also the added fact that they were pressed so close together that he could feel their hearts beat in rhythm, the thudding sensation bringing about a certain sense of euphoria within him so that before he knew it he had leaned down and pressed his lips against hers.

They were so soft... he felt his breath catch in his throat. He was kissing Preeta Arora. His kareli, his babydoll, his bestfriend. Any second now she was going to push him away and thrash him to hell but Karan couldn't bring himself to stop. Everything... all the promises he had made to protect their friendship, his indignation over liking her in that way, his confusion over whatever it was that she made him feel, the fact that she was engaged to another man... all of it seemed to melt away as he savored the feel of her against his mouth. Was it meant to feel so natural to be kissing her? She probably did not think so.

And yet... she wasn't pulling away either. No, instead she stood frozen in his arms as his mouth moved over hers in a gentle caress. And then she kissed him back.

He had obviously died. Then why did it feel like he had never been more fully alive than now, in this moment, as he held her to himself and poured everything that he felt in one single kiss? He'd be happy to die a thousand times if this was what it felt like.

At some point they straightened up so that he backed her up against the wall and she settled against him as he kissed her again and again and again. Her hands had gone to entwine themselves around his neck, one of them slipped into his hair now and he felt a groan escape him as she tugged at it.

She... giggled. It was such an innocent sound, waking him up a bit from his reverie and he slowly opened his eyes letting them settle over hers.

They were a warm brown, slightly glazed over from all the kissing and what unmistakably looked like... Love.

"I love you too." The words escaped him.

"What?" She spoke, her voice barely above a whisper.

"I... I love you." He managed between shaky breaths.

Emotion welled up in her eyes and he felt a flurry of concern... why was she crying? He hated to see her cry. He had once argued with her over the concept of happy tears' insisting that there was no such thing and that if she were happy then she should smile.

"Why are you...?"

But suddenly she was kissing him again and the words died in his throat. It was a hard kiss. Passionate. Just like her. It was also a statement. As the realization struck, he pulled her even closer, gently coaxing her to open her mouth. She shivered and he couldn't help but smile. He had kissed girls before but there was something so completely intoxicating about the woman in his arms right now that made him want to kiss her forever. The fact that she was completely unaware of the effect she had somehow made it even sexier.

As they pulled away a few minutes later, he couldn't help but be fascinated by how her eyes looked as dark as the night now. Smiling, he dropped a few kisses across her face and against her neck making her laugh before pulling her to himself in a hug.

It was strange that their first kiss should happen like this. Their relationship was a strange one too, not making much sense to those around them. They had nothing in common and yet they were bestfriends. There had been a time when they had hated each other too but that had changed when he saved her from those goons, it had changed when he helped her get her Mom out of prison, when they had teamed up to expose Sherlin, when he had saved her from the fire, when she had gone to jail to clear his name... Everytime... everytime something dramatic had propelled their relationship to the next stage and brought them closer. Yet it was an ordinary day when he chose to kiss her and tell her how he felt. Maybe because they had been in love longer than they cared to admit and right now it felt like in some other place, some other time... they had always been like this... laughing and crying and in love. Today and forever.

Loved the fact that there was no punnu here and you gave preeran some brain specially preeta .
