Ria was Karan's closest friend since the time they were in school. Their family had shifted to the same building in which Karan resided. Their families had become good friends and would go out on joint picnics and even have dinner parties at each other's home. Ria was a good looking girl, quite slender. She was always into sports and athletics. Karan and Ria used to go to the same school and so they used to travel together when their parents did not have time for them to pick and drop them to school. It started becoming more often after they grew older. As luck would have it, Ria got admitted to the same Junior college as Karan under Science section. They used to be in different class but the entire college knew that they were always together to come to college and go back from college. There was true friendship which had grown between the two. They did share a bond between them but Karan and the entire college knew that it was more of a brother and sister kind of bond. Karan would always take side of Ria on matters and Ria would consult Karan on all matters related to studies.
Ria started feeling attracted to Karan but Karan never showed any feelings of that kind of attraction to Ria. Their meetings got confined to weekends once Ria joined Bachelors course for Biology whereas Karan joined engineering. Karan had felt a deep pain when he had to travel alone to his engineering college and even Ria missed Karan's company. On weekends, Ria and Karan would meet and discuss about their studies and college life. They would tease each other about not having girlfriend and boyfriend and being studious. Their family gatherings too had reduced after Karan's father started putting more focus on his work and Ria's father too got busy on his work tours. Ria's mother and Karan's mother were on daily talking terms and used to discuss about how their only child was growing under their supervision.
So that day morning which was Saturday, Karan met Ria in the building compound after a long time. They chatted about the studies and Karan invited her to have lunch with him. He knew that being Saturday, his mother would go out in the afternoon to market for getting vegetable and other household supplies with Ria's mother. Rekha when informed took the opportunity to call Ria's mother too for lunch.
During lunch time, Karan was sitting across Ria, with Rekha on his one side and Shriya (Ria's mother) on the other side. Karan was observing Ria and he was captivated at the way she was looking at him. She was still slender like when they had met but she had started looking good. Her eyes were quite expressive. Karan's eyes were roaming and checking her breasts in her T-shirt which were looking great. Her breasts had started to grow when she had turned eighteen but at her present age, her breasts looked larger and firmer in contrast to her slender frame. From the glass table top, Karan also looked at her hips and the flare of his buttocks in the jeans pants, which were spread finely on the chair that she was sitting on. Ria too found Karan's eyes roaming on her body and she gave similar treatment to Karan's body with a mischievous smile. While Shriya and Rekha were in animated conversion discussing their shopping list, Karan and Ria were sipping in their beauty while munching on the lunch.
The two mothers left for shopping leaving behind Karan and Ria at Karan's home. Ria told her mother that she would go to her friend's place in some time.
Karan was first to break the awkward silence that had descended between them. He said,
"Ria, you not being around every day, I have started feeling dejected. I felt good hanging around you and talking to you. Now a days, there are only studies and no good friends in college."
Ria was quick to reply,
"Same here Karan. I have found it too difficult to make friends especially with males. None of them treat me so well or is as considerate as you do."
Karan looked at Ria and he felt for the first time that Ria was very good looking and would be worthy of being his girlfriend. He looked lovingly at Ria and he smiled. Ria looked at him quizzingly and asked,
"What! Why are you looking at me this way?"
Karan replied,
"You know, the time I spent away from you, I realized, I have some kind of connection with you. Maybe it is attraction or is this what people call love?"
Ria eyes twinkled. She shied and decided to just nod her head but very subtly. It felt as if Ria's thoughts after a long time were resonating into Karan's mind. Ria was gazing in Karan's eyes but she shied and looked down when Karan winked at her. To Ria's surprise, Karan's pant was nearly sporting a tent. Ria could not say anything. She too was excited but she was not expecting this level of affection from Karan. Ria felt good and nervous at the same time. She jokingly asked Karan,
"It seems you have a perverted way of saying it too."
Karan looked down at his crotch and he too laughed. He put his hand on his crotch and said,
"Sorry Ria. This did not come out well. I am embarrassed."
Ria shied too. After a pregnant pause, Ria said,
"Karan, I have been in love with you for a long time. This is the first time, you have seen me in that way. It feels good to see that you stand not only with me but your body too stands for me."
Karan was shocked to hear this. Karan was overjoyed. He had been blind not to have approached Ria with his love and confusion. He always felt being part of friendly family, how would Ria think about it. And here was Ria, who always wanted to feel special and be loved by Karan.
They professed their love to each other. They came close to each other and held each other's hands. They were looking into each other's eyes and then Karan was up close to Ria's face. He was looking at her eyes and eyelids and then looked down at her light brown wet lips. Ria had an habit of moving her tongue on her lips to keep it moist. Karan felt intoxicated looking at her wet lips and he slightly tilted his head and moved a bit forward. He did not have to do anything further because Ria moved rest of the distance and placed her lips on Karan's and they had their first lovely kiss. Karan had closed his eyes but Ria was overjoyed at this. She reached out and held Karan's head and started pushing her lips and kissed him on his lips and used her tongue to wet his dry lips. Karan too raised his hands and moved it through her long flowing hair and held her head. They both started to deep kiss each other.
Karan and Ria melted into each other. Ria had tears of joy which wet her cheeks while Karan had his lips wet with his and Ria's saliva exchanging vows of true love. Karan was still enjoying the pleasure of Ria's tongue in his mouth when he felt a hard pressure in his crotch. He opened his eyes to look down and it was Ria's hand that was pressing his hard erection on his jeans pant. Karan moved back and said,
"Ria!"
Ria replied,
"What! I was just checking if you are truly in love with me!"
Karan looked quizzingly at Ria. This was going too fast for him but he was not the one who was going to complain. Ria added,
"Karan, you have given me a lot of sleepless wet nights and I wanted to check if you too are feeling it now or not?"
Karan nodded his head and said,
"I get erect at odd times and have to discharge myself at night. And you know what, your face flashes in front of me most of the times."
Ria smiled and again caught Karan saying,
"Only most of the times, not all the times. Who is the other person Karan?"
Karan coughed to save himself from saying his mother and replied,
"For the rest of the times, it is the imagination of your nude body that flashes during those times."
Ria shied and turned deep red. Even she had the same thing in her mind. And meeting of minds felt like a déjà vu and truly unbelievable. Ria still had her hand pressed against Karan's hard on and she felt movement as if Karan's penis was grumbling under her hand. She gently patted him and said,
"It seems your erection is trying to make a point."
"No Ria," said Karan. "It is going to reach the point in no time, if you keep on pressing on it."
