34 Complimentary kiss (1/2)

She has to meet her therapist due to her previous days' outburst.

She never really goes alone to any checkup and Aaron always accompanied her as a personal physician which he started to think how to get rid of it

Waiting for his meeting to get over, Aarvi had dozed off on the couch due to lack of sleep. Aaron entered to see her peacefully napping.

”Shhh...”

He silenced his secretary at the door and cued the directors and secretary Wen to leave. Grabbing a soft knitted rug from the room closet, he covered her and helped her with a pillow removing her arm under her head gently saying, ”How can you sleep in such a small place?”

His Cupcake, thirteen-year-old Ava Kelly, and Aarvi Evans didn't look much different other than growing a little. Her petite face still looked dainty and her skin was still baby soft.

He smiled looking at her lips reminiscing the past.

Both studied in the same school. He was working part-time in a cafe nearby from the age of sixteen years. He had recently learned to prepare cupcakes and was good at it. He got to know Ava Kelly when she frequented the same cafe only for his cupcake.

Even though he was ready to give her a free cupcake, she always paid for it. He had even offered, if she helps him, she doesn't have to pay but she had asked 'how could help be priced? Help is help and business is a business.' She was helping him and still paid for the cupcakes.

Once he had said a cupcake will cost its price plus a complimentary kiss to the chef. Even though she was flabbergasted, since it was him, she had kissed his cheek and enjoyed the cupcake.

He had repeated it a few more days and the rest of the days she would voluntarily kiss his cheek and eat the cupcake.

'Doozy!' There are many kisses in the debt.

He had just tapped her nose, Aarvi woke up and saw Aaron tenderly looking at her. His sharpness had softened, instead of cold, he looked full of warmth and his gentle smile was worth watching.

Aaron didn't know what to do kneeling closer to her. If she had reacted, he wouldn't have found it difficult but her blank look gives him no clue.

Aarvi blinked a few times and thought when did she start having Aaron in her dreams. She always got her past in the dreams, 'Why did he come?' She again closed her eyes without believing Aaron was right there savoring his view.

Aaron: ”...”

He waved his hand in front of her face and voiced his thoughts in a low voice, ”You don't have the habit of...”

His voice shot her eyes open. Slowly, her forefinger poked his cheek to test and sat up in fluster. Without explanation, Aaron understood she thought he was in her dream.

Aarvi nodded as she was hungry but the next second she was in his arms. She held his shoulder to balance herself glaring at him. ”Doctor Rivas!”

Aaron nonchalantly left her in the ensuite and went out saying, ”Get fresh and come.”

Aarvi: ”...”

Her mouth was open like round O looking at his indifference as if it was common for him. 'When did he get so daring?' She looked at the mirror and scolded herself, ”Yeah! All because of you. Which idiot told you to cry and that too in this man's embrace? Ugh.”
