"Arnav, do you remember her?"

"I do... Her face may not be clear anymore but memories spent with her are always with me." He tightened his arms around me.We were still in the cemetery. The silence was peaceful. I was wrapped in his arms and I liked it. It was perfect and comforting to rest my head on his kind heart.

"I wish I could have met her, the woman who gave birth to a genius and not to mention an arrogant fool" I smirked. I was teasing him to lighten up the mood.

He pulled me back to look at my face. His raised his eyebrows in mockery. "Oh! Genius and Arrogant fool in the same sentence. Someone wants to be punished" His face suddenly changed into an evil grin.

I looked at him scared." wha-" I couldn't complete the sentence as I was bombarded with tickle attack. I had a bad case of tickling.

"Aahh! Sto-op!"

"Nope! This is your punishment miss Aesha" Arnav was too laughing.

"Pl-pleasse!"

He didn't hear my plea and continued ticking. In order to stop him, I grabbed his shirt and suddenly the mixture of mine tickle reaction and action made us both fall down on the grass.

He was right on top of me. The tickle war forgotten and we were closer than ever. His eyes solely focused on mine, so did mine on his. The cool air of cemetery had no effect against our warm breath against each other. His eyes flickered towards something else and he leaned closer, eliminating the little space we had.

I wanted to see in the depth of his eyes but my eyes betrayed me as they closed on its own. Few seconds passed,the moment was like from any romance book except the books didn't have my all the time except now dearest Cell phone.

The sound of cell phone startled us, pulling us apart. Arnav looked here and there, avoiding my eyes. I stumbled around to grab my phone that was placed forgotten on the soil.

I looked at the caller id. I was a little disoriented from our recent event. It was Nina calling.

I slide the answer option and placed the phone on my ears.

"H-h" I cleared my throat "Hey Nina"

"Aesha, where are you?" She asked a little tensed.

"I am with Arnav, what happened?" I asked, now alert.

"Actually, Dee called and they are worried about you. Its really late now and your phone was out of reach. I told them that we just got busy in talking and you were just leaving my house. I am so relieved that your phone worked." She explained

"Thank you, Nina. Don't worry, I will be going back now." I assured her. She was the best friend ever.

"Okay. Sorry to disturb you, love birds" She giggled and disconnected the phone. Okay, she was the worst friend ever. I blushed remembering what happened.

I looked at Arnav. He was already standing. He took a breath and then stared at me.

"I-I have to go"

He nodded. He held out his hand and pulled me up. He didn't leave my hand till we reach the car. I guess we were one step more closer.
