Amaira's POV

Waking up too early to get ready is something someone can least expect from me, but today I woke at 5:00am, or we could say I couldn't sleep the whole night. The night I spent thinking about Reyansh, our first meet, the staycation, the friendly meet, the birthday, the cry session, and finally the confession.

I couldn't help but feel whole zoo in my stomach whenever I think about the confession. I never expected it to be this way, both of us crying and confessing; it seems like kdrama, right? I think so too.

I now have my dream boy, my man, my love, Reyansh.

Finally, the day I always dreamed about came true—our first date—it's happening today. He is taking me on an official first date; he hasn't yet told me about places we are going to visit; he kept it as a secret and said he has everything planned for today. I just have to get ready and meet him near my house at 11:00am.

With the continuous thoughts of Reyansh running in my mind and the wide smile that never left my lips, I descended down from my room to the main room and saw my mom in the kitchen. I went towards her and backhugged her, squeezing her little in my hug, feeling the lovely warmth she radiates.

"So happy today, what's the matter??? anything special?"  Mom asked, and I just flashed a wide smile, showing my teeth.
"Nothing, just a good start to a day. Seeing my mom in the kitchen making my favorite breakfast, what will I need more?" I said dramatically and was about to exit the kitchen when she said, "It seems like your long-wished dream has come true."

I stopped in my tracks and turned backwards, confusion visible on my face. "Umm, what do you want to say ???" I said, biting my lips, controlling my smile. "By anyhow you confessed to Reyansh or he confessed to you?" She asked, wiggling her eyebrows. I just smiled and went towards her.

Sitting on the kitchen counter, I told her everything about yesterday, and she was hearing calmly. I finished my story and looked at her to notice tears in her eyes. She came towards me and cupped my cheeks. "I am happy for you," she said, giving a peck on the forehead.

"I know Reyansh is a nice guy. I have always heard many things about him from you and Aayan, and I always ended up hearing only positive things. I know he will keep you happy; his eyes hold pure adoration for you, even as your photos can depict it. I am happy for you genuinely. But remember relationships are not always easy. This is just a start. It might seem happy in the beginning, but with time difficulties will also come in your path, and my dear, always try to solve these difficulties together. Trust is very important in relationships, so make sure you trust him and he does too. Focus on balancing relationships and careers. Give both equal attention." Mom advised, giving me a new hope and lesson to move forward in this relationship.

We both hugged each other. Coming out of the hug, I asked, "What about Papa? Will he agree ??" She patted my head. "Don't worry about him, Baccha; he always wishes for your happiness. He might not suddenly but will gradually accept Reyansh," she said. Giving her a smile I went out of the kitchen towards my room to get ready for the date.

To get dressed in my favorite outfit, spraying my favorite perfume to meet my favorite human is all I have dreamed of always.

Getting ready I left the house a little early than time to buy flowers. Flowers for boyfriend? Yes absolutely. It's not always about girls receiving flowers. Sometimes giving flowers to our loved ones, then they might be men or women, is a form of love, and I would love to give Reyansh flowers. I went out and bought a bouquet of roses.

I noticed Reyansh's car taking a turn to park it near the house. I went towards the car with a wide smile playing on my lips. As soon as he came out of the car, I engulfed him in a hug, and he reciprocated immediately, hugging me tighter, his face in the crook of my neck, and I could feel his warm breaths.

We broke the hug, and I gave him the bouquet. Taking the bouquet, he kept looking towards it, smiling widely, adoration visible in his eyes. He looked towards me and gave me a quick peck on the lips and immediately sat inside the car. I froze at my place, realizing what just happened.

He called my name from inside the car, and I came out of the shock, blush coating my cheeks and my heart beating fast. I shyly sat inside the car, and within a sec he leaned forward. My eyes remained wide open seeing him so close, and I involuntary leaned back. He smirked a little, coming closer. I kept my palms on my lips. He chuckled, seeing my reaction. He buckled the seatbelt and went back to his seat.

"You thought I was going to kiss you? Don't worry, we will kiss soon," he said, smiling. I slightly hit his hand; my cheeks must have tainted with maroon. "Shut up and start the car. God knows what you are blabbering early in the morning," I said. He just chuckled and started the car.

Soon we reached a movie theater, and excitement rushed through me. I love movies, but I never often come to watch movies in theaters. "Which movie are we going to watch today?" I said, smiling brightly, excitement clear in my voice. "Ramaiya vastavaiya," he said, and my excitement doubled. He knew I loved that movie so much, and it was released a few years ago, but I came across it recently, and there is no chance this movie is going to be played in theaters again.

"But how is it possible?" I asked, confusion written all over my face. He just chuckles and explains, "There was a scheme about a month ago to request any old movie, and lucky 7 winners movies will be played for a week, so today it's day 5, and my requested movie, Ramaiya Vastavaiya, will be playing today," he said, and I was surprised to hear it.

(A/N little did Amaira know the real efforts Reyansh took to get this movie played.)

"So you have already planned it? And what if I had said no to you?" I said, "Then I might have bought someone special," he said teasingly. "Uh, go bring your someone special. I am leaving," I said and turned to leave when he held my hand and made me stop. He was laughing, showing his cute dimples, but I glared at him, and he immediately kept quiet.

"My someone special is already with me," he said and forwarded his right hand. "Can we hold hands?" He asked, Butterflies, "yes," I said nervously. He held my hand in his, securing it in a delicate but protective grip. We both then went to watch the movie.

3 hours later,

Coming out of the movie theater, we had our lunch, and now we are heading towards the mall. Although I don't like to roam much in malls, I agreed because I planned to gift him an outfit. So I took him towards the men's section; he was confused, but I told him to just be patient. We headed towards the rows, and after selecting an appropriate outfit, I gave it to him to try it.

I was sitting on the sofa waiting for him, and that's when he came out of the trial room dressed up in the outfit. Black shirt with first two buttons open, silver chain on his neck, rolled up sleeves, and sleek black trouser, he came out in this outfit, and I can't keep my eyes to myself because Reyansh in this outfit is a rare sight to see.

Seeing him approaching me with the smile playing on his lips, my mouth remained hung open. He was looking handsome, hot, stunning, and whatnot. I couldn't take my eyes off him.

He came and stood in front of me. I could hear some girls whispering, "Oh, he is so handsome." "How can someone be so hot?" "Can I ask him his number?" they whispered, and when I turned back to look at them, they were literally eyeing him from head to toe. It spoiled my mood to a point that I turned to Reyansh and told him to get changed without even giving him the compliments I planned to give.

Reyansh's POV:

She told me to change the outfit without giving any compliments. For a minute I felt bad, but when I noticed she was throwing glares at someone, I looked in the direction and saw two girls looking at me.

I smirked, knowing that she was jealous because of them. I held her hand and took her quickly inside the trial room.

Her eyes widened due to the sudden pull. "What happened?" She asked, frowning. I removed the few strands of hair from her face and tucked them at the back of her ears. "Umm, nothing. Just saw my girl getting jealous, and you know I can't resist the urge to let her know that I am only hers," I said, and saw her ears getting a shade of pink along with her cheeks.

I was so close to her that my own heart was beating at the highest speed. I noticed her breathing heavily as I went closer to her.

There was almost no space between us. She moved back until her back hit the mirror of the trial room, and I towered over her, our foreheads attached, noses brushing against each other.

She was staring deeply into my eyes, and neither I nor I broke the eye contact. The urge to kiss her until we are out of breaths was raising inside me, but I controlled myself. I never in my life want her to be uncomfortable.

I moved closer to her lips, more closer, closer, and now that I am so close that a single movement and my lips will land on her, and finally I can get her taste.

"may I?" I whispered my voice decibels lower than actual; she looked up in my eyes, her cheeks flushed with the prettiest shade of pink; she nodded her head slowly, shyly smiling. As I leaned closer towards her lips, she closed her eyes. Sensing her nervousness, I was about to back off, but she held me by my collar.

"It's ok if you are not comfortable." I said, looking at her closed eyes, "It's not like that; um, actually, it's my first kiss, so I am nervous," she said, and I smiled hearing her genuine answer.

I took her palm and kept it on the left side of my chest, where my heart was beating very fast. Feeling the thumping of my heart against her palms, she opened her eyes immediately, looking into mine. "It's my first kiss too," I said. She smiled widely, softly caressing my chest with her hand.

I moved close to her lips, still looking into her eyes, and she nodded. I attached my lips to her, and I could feel blood rushing through my whole body; butterflies erupting make me go crazy.

Her soft lips on mine are like a delight for me.

None of us moved our lips. We just kissed. No makeout, no tongue, nothing, just a kiss, which felt like heaven. Our First Kiss.

"Excuse me, sir/mam, can you please come out? Customers are waiting for the trial room." We heard a voice from outside, and we broke the kiss.

Amaira shyly left the room after giving me a sweet smile. I changed my clothes immediately and took them out with me directly to the cash counter without glancing at anyone.

I could feel stares at me; even when I noticed the two girls who were whispering about me were fuming in anger after seeing me, I couldn't understand why everyone was chuckling seeing me.

I went towards the cash counter, where she was waiting for me impatiently. I reached there and handed her the clothes, as she had already warned me that she was going to pay, so I gave her the clothes; she took them without glancing at me, still smiling shyly.

She handed them at the cash counter, and the women's were also giggling seeing me. "Amaira, why is everyone laughing looking at me?" I whispered enough for her to hear slightly pouting. She looked at me and started laughing. She came near me close to my face and wiped the remnants of her lipstick from my lips. "Because my lipstick was on you, and maybe until now everyone knows about our relationship," she said, wiping her thumb with a handkerchief.

I slide my hand around her waist; she glared at me, indicating that everyone is present in the surroundings, but I care no less about anyone else. "Let them know whom I belong to," I said, and she shyly nodded her head.

Paying for the outfit, we took the bag and headed towards the car. Settling inside the car, I took her hand and interwined it with mine and started the car.

As I was driving the car, taking glances at her, I saw her smiling the whole time since we sat; our eyes met. She chuckled and said, "I never expected my first kiss to be inside the trial room." "Me too," I said, smiling.

I could see her staring at my side profile, so I asked, "You want to say something? You have literally been staring at me for the past 5 minutes."

"How can you be so perfect, Reyansh?" she questioned more, like she stated that I am perfect. I just smiled widely, looking at her.

"Because I am with you," I said, and I could see crimson color coating her cheeks.

"Bas bas chalo chalo har baat pe flirt karna chalu hojate ho," she said and covered her face with both plams, hiding her blushed cheeks.

"If stating what's true is considered flirting, then you might have to deal with this flirty boy for the rest of your life," I said, and that's how, with sweet banter, laughing, giggling, and smiling, we continued our journey towards the beach.

Author's POV:

Later, they watched the sunset at a nearby beach, explored and enjoyed the street food, and finally their first date came to an end.

Reyansh dropped Amaira near her house. They hugged each other for good 10 minutes, absorbing the warmth of each other, and then bid their goodbyes.
