Chapter 65 — Our First Kiss

Veeresh looked at Poornima for a few seconds, still processing the fact that she had kissed him first.

A slow smile appeared on his face.

He gently pulled her closer.

Veeresh: "Our first kiss."

Poornima looked at him shyly.

Poornima: "Don't make it a big deal, Veer."

Veeresh smiled.

Veeresh: "How can I not?"

He gently kissed her again.

This time, Poornima smiled against the kiss and happily kissed him back.

When they finally pulled apart, Poornima looked at him with a soft smile.

Poornima: "Happy now?"

Veeresh: "Very."

She shook her head, smiling.

Poornima: "You're still an asshole."

Veeresh laughed softly.

Veeresh: "And you're still my Poons."

Poornima moved closer and rested her head against his chest.

Veeresh wrapped his arms around her and held her comfortably.

Neither of them wanted to talk about the past anymore that night.

For once, there was no anger, no fear and no uncertainty between them.

Poornima closed her eyes with a small smile.

Veeresh gently kissed her forehead.

Veeresh: "Good night, Poons."

Poornima: "Good night, Veer."

They stayed close to each other and slowly fell asleep in each other's arms, both smiling quietly after the moment they had finally shared.
