Day 1
Me and Naina sat in her small but beautiful one bedroom house drinking beer and celebrating our appraisals. Naina is my colleague. We both work in different teams and ever since the holi festival we have grown very close to each other. I'm the introverted guy at our office who silently handles the finances of the company. I was withdrawn and living in my own world coming out of a bad 3 year long relationship. I had wasted my time on a selfish and unappreciative girl and stupid enough not to realise it. She cheated on me and I broke up with her, finally coming to my senses.
Naina was totally opposite to me. At the time, she was working in the sales team and was full of energy. She had broken up from her ex, who just like mine thought it was 'okay' to bang another person while still in a relationship. But this did not stop her from smiling that beautiful smile of hers and enjoying life to the fullest. 'If you fall in love and come out heartbroken, make sure you come out brave and kind. Brave enough to fall back in love with someone else and kind enough not to break their heart' She told me this.
On the day of Holi, we had a celebration in our office which is when we spoke for the first time. She put colours on my face, wishing me 'happy holi' I didn't know then that it was the start of her colouring my life as well. We went out to have snacks along with other colleagues. When she started asking me questions.
'So what's your name?'
'Kabir'
'What do you do at the office?' She asked another question.
'I handle finance and accounting' I replied.
'And? What exactly do you do? I mean what in finance?' she asked again. Why wouldn't this girl let me be. I was happy being quiet.
'It feels like you are taking my interview. Ask me something else other than office' I replied carelessly. She might stop at least now. The rest of the colleagues had become silent and watched us with curiosity.
'Okay what do you do to have fun? What are your hobbies?' She asked, still taking interest in me.
'I read novels. I play cricket. I cook among a lot of other things' I replied.
'You read? What's your favourite book? And your favourite author?' she asked. This girl loved asking questions.
'I like many authors but Sidney Sheldon and Jeffrey Archer are my top favorites. And Kane and Able is my all time favourite book' She wanted to keep talking but the others came in breaking our conversation.
I got to know later that she loved reading novels as well. And we had started becoming friends.
As each day passed, we started getting closer, spending more time with each other. Getting to know one another. When we went to Fenny's, our first outing together, we shared our dreadful past and each understood the pain inflicted on the other. From there we shifted to drinking in her house every other day. She was staying in a rented place, alone as her parents house was 20+ kms away from the office. This house went on to become our love nest.
On one such day, while boozing and celebrating, I finally decided it was time I bid goodbye to my brooding self and take the beautiful risk called 'love'. And so, I asked her out. She said yes almost immediately. I learned later on that she had a crush on me from past many months. Since that day of Holi. She said she saw sadness in my eyes. The same sadness that clawed her heart. Everyone thought I was just an introverted guy. But no one had recognised the sadness inside me.
She would make excuses everyday just to talk to me. Get to know me. She was the bold one taking the first step. She had taken a lot of steps. And she said she had always dreamt of this day.
She came and sat next to me looking into my eyes. She was wearing a black trousers and a shirt. Her hair was left open and she looked radiant. I saw genuine love in her eyes. Something I had never seen in my ex.
You will always feel the 'right moment' in your heart to go for a kiss and this was one. I placed my hand on her cheeks and bent down going in for the kiss. I felt her soft lips press into mine. Small pecks followed by deeper kisses. I pulled her closer, mashing my body against hers. She put her hands around my neck while I had mine around her back. I wanted to feel her. My hands were roaming all over her, feeling her body. Now, she wasn't a slim, size zero girl. Rather, she was a thick, curvaceous girl at 5'4 height. Darker chocolatey skin colour. Black silky but curvy hair. I loved everything about her. My left hand was now feeling her bottom while the right one was trying to feel her tits over her shirt. She was biting my lower lip while her hands were trying to unbutton my shirt.
I broke the kiss, threw my shirt away undoing the buttons. I went back for the kiss while my hands worked on her shirt. She lifted her hands up in the air, letting me take it off of her.
Our kiss was now deeper. Parting my lips, I would run my tongue over her lip first and then kiss her. She parted her lips, taking my tongue in, letting me explore her mouth. Every now and then she would push her own tongue into my mouth.
I was squeezing her tits over her padded bra. I kissed her chin, her cheeks and went nibbling her left ear. I came down, kissing her neck... Kissing her heaving chest... and down to her cleavage. I wanted to feel her bare tits. I went to unhook her bra when she stopped me. 'Baby.. no. Let's not rush and do everything in one night' She said. She was breathing heavily. She wanted it as well. But she was right. I agreed. And we stopped at kissing.
