Rick and Rose were lying on the bed admiring the view above them, the sky was shining full of stars. They felt complete. It was like there was so much to talk but nothing was exactly there.

"Rick" he heard her call him in a small tone.

"hmm"

"Thank you for today, I never thought you would ever do something like this for me," said Rose what was in her mind

"Why would you think of me like that" Rick said making a face as if he was wronged

"Don't get me wrong, but I just thought that you needed some time"

"You are right, I too thought that I didn't want all this right now in my life," he said which made Rose sad for a moment, but she listened to him continuing...

"But when I saw you yesterday night going inside I was standing there. I felt a pang of sadness engulf my body in that movement. I was not able to bear that separation. I wanted to stop you and hug you tightly in my arms and never let you go" "And in that movement, I realized that I have fallen for you so very deeply and that there is no coming back now"

"And in that movement, I decided to plan all this, I don't believe in waiting for the right time, I just know I have to do it today"

When he turned his head to look at Rose, she was crying, there were tears in her eyes so he quickly got up and wiped those tears and asked her

"Why are you crying?"

"I don't know, I am just very happy that you take this decision. I love you Rick, and I don't know what happened but I'm also not able to think about my life without you in it. I never cared about money nor did I search for any person with a big bank balance. All I ever wanted was someone who could take care of me just like my dad and love me like my mom and you are just like that, I am sure they will also like you as much as I do" said Rose

Listening to her Rick got silent, he was feeling guilty for lying to her. Lying that he is not rich. It looks like he is disrespecting her, but it is important for him.

He doesn't want to spend his whole life with someone who is just after his money. He wanted love and respect to be the foundation of their relationship. And now that he found her, he wants to be extra careful. He doesn't want to regret his decision and go through the pain of heartbreak.

He decided to tell her the truth very soon.

They were now facing each other. Their faces are just an inch apart.

"What happened, why do you look sad?" asked Rose while watching him

"Ah. Nothing I was just admiring you, your beauty, your presence, your energy. I can't resist you, Rose. Whenever I'm with you my body works automatically, like I don't have control over it" he kept on saying all these things, and Rose blushed hard at his boldness.

He saw Rose sitting like an obedient kid, her head was down due to embracement, just by looking at her his body was reacting differently, but he told her they would take things slow. So, that doesn't mean that their night has ended. RIGHT????

Rose's hand was in his hand, they were sitting on the bed close, so close that they could feel heat erupting from their bodies.

And soon Rick decides to close the distance between their lips. He leans forward and captures her lips.

Their kiss lasted for more than one minute leaving both of them breathless, their bodies wanted more, but Rick controlled his emotions and got back to his senses before it was too late.

Rose's eyes were misty due to kissing she looked so alluring to him that he was having a hard time controlling his needs.

Rose too looked at him with needy eyes, but she also knew they could not cross the boundaries until their families were involved. Rick got the idea of how difficult it was going to be around her. He was cursing himself under his breath.

His hands itched to touch her, to kiss her, to feel her, he wanted her beside him, wanted to make her his soon, like very soon.

"So, are we going to spend the night here?" asked Rose

"Why you don't want to?" Rick countered

"No, it's not like that, I was just thinking, ah... forget it," she said waving her hand in the air and somewhat feeling stupid.

"If you don't want to, we can go back to the hotel," Rick said

"No no, I was just asking, nothing is wrong, I am okay"

"Rose I want to spend this night knowing about you and making this relationship stronger, that's it nothing at all," Rick said

"Even I want to know about you, like everything"........

They kept on talking, asking questions about each other's life, and without knowing dozed off to sleep.
