AKANSHA POV:

"Well! Thanks for the compliment ",I smiled at him.

'It seems that if I don't get angry with his words, he will be pissed. Then I shall gladly do that ',I thought with a smirk appearing on my face.

In return, he just shook his head and sat down by the steps.

I would feel good if he spoke something in return but why is he silent? I sat beside him in silence.

"Are you angry at me? ",I asked, looking at him.

"Angry? Why will I be? It's your money! You can do any mad things with it! I cannot ask you. I haven't seen such a stupid, dumb girl in my life. "

"I just helped her. And it's a thoughtful, kind, pleasant act! And I am not the one who lavishly spends my money. I know what I want and what I need. You need not find fault in that. And I am not a stupid, dumb girl ",I said sternly and stood to walk away from him.

He really tests my patience. I am trying my best to control my anger but he somehow makes me angry.

Let that thought of controlling my anger against him go to hell! He can't always insult me.

A hand gripped me, not allowing me to move further.

I turned towards him, "What? "

"I know I shouldn't have said those words. To tell the truth, I didn't expect a girl to give all the money she had to help someone. I have seen girls flaunting their money. You are really a Mother Teresa ",he said with a chuckle.

"I am not Mother Teresa! She is so pure unlike me ",I huffed.

"I shouldn't say this but I can't control it anymore. You look so cute when you are angry ",he laughed.

"You---",I glared at him and hit him on his shoulder.

He started laughing hard in return! The nerve of him! I turned to go but he stopped me again.

"Okay. Okay. I am not laughing anymore. You are so sweet, and kind-hearted ",he said with a smile.

"I know. "

"Can we go somewhere to a silent place? I hate the medicine smell ",he said with disgust.

"There is a beach nearby. Can we go there? "

"Well! That is better than staying here. "

**********

"Two Masala Peanuts, bro ",I asked the vendor.

I then paid for it and got the peanuts from the vendor. He then moved his food truck to search for the crowd.

Thank goodness I found him before he left. Parth was shocked to see me shouting at the vendor to stop the food truck. How can I miss my favorite snack when I see it? Never!

Since it's still mid-afternoon, the place was so isolated. The high school students, working people and adults with small children may come in the evening. But I love this serene, calm silence more. There won't be any sound or disturbance around us.

I saw Parth sitting on the sand looking at waves crashing on the shore.

"Someone is enjoying the scenery ",I said while sitting beside him, giving his peanuts in his hands while munching my own snack.

"What's there to see? I was just simply sitting doing nothing ",he stated while eating the peanuts.

"What? Are you kidding me? Don't you love the scenery? Can't you feel it? ",I asked him, shocked.

"The beach is here. The waves are crashing on the shore and moving back. Is there anything special? "

"Oh god! Have you ever had fun at the beach? ",I asked him, hoping for him to say yes.

"Fun at the beach? No. The beach is so plain. What's there to play? ",he asked, confused.

"Jesus Christ! How can there be a person like this in this world? ",I asked God looking up.

"Will you enlighten me with your thoughts? "

"Have you ever had fun in your life? ",I asked, looking at him.

"And I am not speaking about the parties at clubs, flirting, kissing, making out, playing games, sports. I am speaking about real fun ",I said, eying him.

"If you put those things aside, maybe no. "

"Have you spent your time with Andy and Theo? "

"Yeah! We watch movies, speak a lot, drink a lot, and play a lot of games ",he said, offended by my inquiry.

"That's a relief to hear! The thing you do with your friends is one kind of fun; get that in your thick head. "

"Now, see the beach ",I said looking at the beach.

"Then? ",he asked, amused.

"Can you hear anything? "

"Yes. "

"What do you hear? ", I asked him excitedly, thinking it's easy for him to understand.

"Your bickering ", he replied in a duh tone.

Ugh! You are really great to think that he is easy to handle. How did you forget that he is THE GREAT PARTH SAXTON??

"Close your eyes! In that way you will hear better ",I instructed him.

"Can you hear the sound of the waves crashing on the shore? ",I asked him more clearly.

"Yes, I can hear it ",he answered me.

"Good. Can you feel the breeze brushing your hair and face? ",I asked him softly.

"Yes ",he said after a moment.

"Can you now feel nature? The calm, serene, joyous feeling forming on your heart??!! Now slowly open your eyes to see the beautiful creation of god ",I whispered, staring at him.

I saw him opening his eyes witnessing the waves of the sea touching the shore and going back. He looked at it in awe.

"The waves always fight to reach the shore but it could withhold only for a few seconds. That's what life is. We should keep fighting for what we love! Even though the waves look so angry crashing on shore, it calms down when it kisses the shore ",I said looking at the waves.

"You have a way with your words ",Parth said with admiration.

"Do you like beaches? "

"Like? No!! I love beaches! ",I shouted with excitement.

I then removed my sandals and laid on the beach facing the sky. Parth too laid down beside me, mimicking my actions laying his hands below his head.

"You are not so monstrous like you portray ",I said after a few minutes of peaceful silence.

"You think so? "

"Yes. If you were like that, then you would have shouted at me for suggesting this idea and would have dragged me home not accepting to come with me to the beach ", I said with a smile playing on my face.

"Don't think that I am a good man. I am far, far from that ",he said with a smile on his face.

"Says the one who accepted my idea. Or did you accept it because you wanted to sleep with me? ",I asked with a chuckle.

Now, his face looks so grim and gloomy. Oops! I think I said the wrong thing! Akansha! Can't you keep your mouth from speaking stupid things. Now, the peaceful atmosphere around us suddenly changed into a dense, and solid one.

"I am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I know that it was not your intention. I was just kidding! I am very sorry ",I whispered to him.

I then saw something like regret flickering on his eyes. But it vanished the next second! I must have imagined it.

"Have you admired the sky like this before? ",I asked him, changing the subject.

That did the trick! He looked at the sky and a smile formed on his face the next second. "No. But it's a lovely sight. I guess I missed so many things in my life ",he said with his deep, husky voice.

"I used to regularly visit beaches but for a few months I was a little busy. I am so happy to feel this amazing, mind-blowing feeling again. And also this breath-taking view. It's purely insane. "

"So, do you know what's the main thing they do at the beach? ",I asked him with mischievousness dancing in my eyes.

"What's that? ",he asked curiously.

"This! ",I shouted, flicking the sand I had grabbed on my hand towards him.

He shrieked and tried to move but the damage was done. I laughed clutching my stomach gauging his reaction. He looked so shocked and funny!

"This is called the sand fight. So, how are you feeling now? ",I asked him with a chuckle.

"Oh! You are asking me!! That's so sweet of you! Let me demonstrate it for you so that you could feel the exact feeling I felt when you threw the sand at me ",he said, gathering the sand in his hands.

"No, you shouldn't! I just showed the benefits of the beach. You can't mistreat the teacher who taught you that ",I tried to calm him down with my words.

But the evil grin was still intact on his face. Oh no! This is not going as I expected!

"Ouch!! ",I yelped when the sand crashed on me disturbing my thoughts.

"Parth ",I whined. I then gathered the sand and threw it on him.

"You-- ",he tried to move but it hit his chest hard.

"Hahaha! Serves you right ",I laughed.

"You are dead today ",he said with an evil glint in his eyes.

"No!!! ",I squealed and started running away from him.

I turned back to see what he was doing! But before I could do so, I was tackled down to the ground with a very heavy, beefy, strong-muscular body hovering me from behind.

I tried to move but he securely put his heavy weight on me, squashing me.

"Do you accept defeat? ",he asked with his lips slightly touching my earlobe. A shiver ran towards my body.

"Yes ",I whispered, ignoring the warmth of Parth spreading throughout my body.

He then rolled sideways allowing me to move. Using the chance, I stood up fast and kicked his stomach, sticking my tongue out teasing him.

"I am not afraid of you. And I don't accept the defeat. I just tricked you ",I said with a chuckle.

He smirked in return. Why is he smirking?

"Woah!!! ",I bellowed when Parth pulled me the next second towards him, making me fall on him.

I was on the top hovering him. He then rolled with me which made him hover me now with his both hands on either side of me caging me. And his deep, black eyes looked deep into his eyes.

"SO, how did you trick me? ",he asked with a smug smile.

"Uh... ",was all my reply, not able to form a word out of me. He is s- so close to my comfort!

To make it worse, his eyes become more dense, thick with raw emotions! Slowly, the whole world vanished and I could only feel him and his eyes taking me in.

I then felt his strong, firm, rigid hands stroking my cheek. His fingers touched my hair tendrils and slowly brushed my cheek and locked it securely behind my ears.

His touch is so soft like a feather grazing my skin! No longer able to look at his deep, penetrating eyes, I looked down avoiding his powerful gaze.

I then felt his firm hands touching my chin making me see his sparkling eyes again. There! Those eyes! It's making me vulnerable! It's making me feel things I haven't felt before! What are you doing to me, Parth?

He slowly leaned down and kissed my cheeks so softly making me feel so flushed. He then slightly inched closer making his lips falling short of my lips only by an inch of a single strand of a hair.

O Lord!! This is so intense!! He waited for a few moments waiting for me to push him. But for the love of God, I couldn't even move an inch! I am trapped in his eyes! What magic did he do to me? I can only hear the lub-dub sound of our hearts and his breath fanning on my face.

Sensing no resistance from me, he slowly moved, vanishing the small, small distance between our lips.

And his lips finally connected mine. My breath hitched on my throat. The feeling was bliss; out of the world. I expected him to be rough and hard but he kissed me softly, tempting me with great passion. He nibbled my upper lip and sucked it like drinking honey. My lips parted slightly, tasting him. He felt divine. My lips too started responding to him mimicking his actions.

After what felt like an eternity, his lips left mine due to shortness of breath. His eyes still kept gazing at me and then slowly, he gazed at my lips.

"What are you doing to me, Akansha? ",he groaned and crashed his lips into mine again. He kissed me possessively, damn hard and deep this time. This is so much more intense than before. His arms securely held my waist awaking more feelings I haven't felt before in my entire life. My stomach fluttered with so many unknown, desirable emotions. He plunged his tongue into my mouth starting to battle with my tongue. I tried to mimic his actions as best as I could. I grabbed the back of his head and gripped him tight.

"Pa-- Parth ",I moaned loudly between the kisses which made him grunt and kiss me more fiercely with passion. "Parth ",I gasped when an electric shiver ran throughout my body.

Feeling so breathless, he left my lips and sucked my neck, biting it softly.

"Pa--Parth ",I gasped.

He then slowly looked into my eyes and flashed a grin looking so handsome. Staring at him, a smile formed on it's own by lips and looked down, flushed and shy, not able to look at him. It's so sizzling and hot feeling him so close with his penetrating gaze.

He chuckled in response and held my chin in his hands and made me look at him.

"What are you doing to me, Akansha? ",he asked in his raspy voice and his ablaze gaze.

I tried to move which made him sit on the sand. He then gave his hand to help me to sit. And I gladly accepted it, having no energy left.

We both sat beside each other looking at the waves with no words shared between us.

Did I really kiss him? It was like a dream, a mind-blowing dream! This is the first real kiss of mine. The reality crashed on my mind. Is this a good thing to do with Parth? But why am I not regretting it? I just loved each and every second of what had happened a few minutes back. For how long were we kissing? I have no idea! But it was so magical and I loved it very much. But what is he thinking now? Was I a bad kisser? Is he regretting it? Now, I get why he has a big girl-fan base. He looks so handsome and he knows how to kiss a girl damn well. Any girl would fall for him!

Am I also another girl whom he kissed? This thought made me gloomy, glum and dejected.

*********************************************************************

Woah!!! Finally, they kissed!! It was high time they kissed, don't you think so?

It was such a challenging task to complete this chapter!!

I hope you loved this chapter! Is Akansha's thought justifiable? What will Akansha do next? Will she share her insecurities with Parth? Or will she hide it? Or will she get scared and walk away from Parth? Or will Parth find her thoughts himself?

Stay tuned to know what happens next!

With love,

S.M. Skyler.
