CHAPTER FOUR: My first heartbeat for you..

KRITI POV

Date: 25th May 2024

London

18:00 pm

I stepped out of papa's car wearing a gorgeous red dress.

My black wavy hair is down and I was wearing minimal jewelry. I had light makeup on too.

As I turned around papa rolled his window down and looked at me seriously but with a soft face "Enjoy yourself but remember to be careful especially the boys understand Kriti"

I look back at him and nod "I understand papa, I promise to behave. Thank you. See you tonight."

He looked at me and smiled "Good. I will see you tonight."

He pulled the window back up and drove off, I watched and sighed at myself.

After calming my racing heart of nerves I enter the building.

It was huge but beautiful, filled with fairy lights, candles and decorations.

As I kept walking down the corridor I started to hear the pop music playing and saw other students dancing having the time of their lives.

I stare at the decorations until I hear a familiar voice.

A few minutes later

"Kriti, Over here!"

I turned around not to see Maya wearing a gorgeous yellow dress, not alone, but with a tall lean muscular male figure with dark hair and deep dark eyes who was wearing a green kurta that matches him very well and makes his dark eyes stand.

My heart pounds out of my chest without me realising it as I stare at the handsome stranger's face.

Then, Maya suddenly rushes up to me and hugs me.

I was caught off guard but quickly hugged her back.

She breaks the hug and looks at me smiling, her eyes filled with admiration "You look amazing Ki! Omg I am so jealous."

I laughed at her comment and smiled replying "Thank you Mai."

My eyes diverted to the stranger who approached us as Maya stepped back.

"Kriti this is-" before she could finish her sentence he spoke "I am Samir, Maya's cousin."

I then saw Maya roll her eyes as if she saw this coming.

My eyes locked back to Samir's which caused my stomach to do a backflip.

I was so confused this never happened before, I wonder what is happening to me right now.

Is it because of Samir?

I then noticed that both Samir and Maya were looking at me with confusion in their eyes.

That's when I realised he must be waiting for my reply which caused my cheeks to heat up with embarrassment.

"I am so sorry! I didn't mean to keep you waiting! I burst out.

Before he could say anything, I let out a sigh as I looked back at him "I am really sorry, I just have a lot on my mind right now. I am Kriti, Maya's best friend"

He gave me a soft smile with understanding in his dark brown eyes and replied "Don't worry about it. I think it's cute"

"C-cute!?" I stuttered in surprise and shock, my face red.

His cheeks then paint themselves red as he realised what he just said "I- uh-"

Before he could say anything else, Maya tuned in "Why don't you two get to know each other more. Maybe go and have a dance together", teasing us with a wink.

Then she walks away with her male friend Aarav who is the same age as her, leaving the two of us alone with the deep tension between us.

I couldn't look into his eyes, my eyes glued to the floor, my heart was racing like it's in a race.

I then heard him clear his throat which caused me to look up at him again.

His cheeks are still red but I had to admit it makes him look adorable.

He gave me a shy smile and said "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable".

My heart skipped a beat from his apology.

"It's okay, you don't need to apologise. It's just that no one called me that before I was just surprised that's all" I spoke trying not to look at his eyes as I felt shy.

"Really? You're okay with me calling you cute" He said making sure I meant it looking at me with a bit of surprise in his eyes.

"Yeah" I replied

He smiled and offered his hand "Will you have this dance with me?"

As he asked me this I felt butterflies in my stomach.

My cheeks are glowing red.

I looked back up at him with shyness in my eyes "S-sure" I said taking his hand as he whisks me to the dance floor holding one of my hand and his other hand resting on my waist as we danced.

I couldn't believe this! This is my first time dancing with a boy!
