I wake up getting irritated from the constant knocking at the door and drag myself towards the door. I open it and find Monami standing in front of it. All of my sleepiness goes away when she wishes me "Good Morning" with a smile on her face. Her smile it is intoxicating and probably the best thing to start my day with it. I am lost in the thoughts of her smile when I notice her leaving.

My first morning as a boyfriend and I most probably, actually definitely messed up. I did not wish her back she was waiting for it, she is leaving. Like this I am going to be the worst boyfriend. I curse myself and start running behind her only to trip off the stair and wake up as it was all a dream. Yes a fucking dream, first morning and I am dreaming of my girlfriend. No never I will be hers and she will be mine till eternity.

I happily jump out of the bed when I hear constant knocking on the door. I open my door smiling "Good M..." the words get stuck and I gulp them. Thanks larynx but you can keep them.

"Good Morning Karan , you didn't say it so I thought I should only wish you. You might not consider me a friend anymore but you are still a friend from my end."

"Faizi it is nothing like that." I like him as I said earlier but my excitement died out seeing him as I thought I would be leaving my dream. My first morning as a boyfriend didn't need to start off by seeing him, actually any person except that beautiful face which I can stare at without blinking, the face of my girlfriend.

"I know I know Karan, you texted me last night so I thought of congratulating you early in the morning before going to training ground."

"You were going to the training ground this early..??" raising an eyebrow I asked confused.

"Actually Karan going to training ground at 07:15 when the training starts at 7:30 is not early, trust me"

"7:15" I repeat shocked and look at the wall clock.. "This means I am late" I grab my clothes and run to the bathroom. Get out of your boyfriend mode Karan Shergill back to trainer mode .. I explain myself.

At exactly 7:28 I am at the training ground. I am fast with my morning routine. I see her in the line of cadets glancing at me and smile back at her when she turns her face to the other side.

I am standing outside the mess waiting the cadets to arrive for their breakfast. I look at my watch it has just been 5 minutes but it already seems like an hour, I haven't met my girlfriend since morning I need to meet her, hug her I have just seen her face that too for 10 minutes because I was called for an official meeting by Batra Sir.

I hide myself when I notice the cadets arriving. Monami is walking at last talking to cadet Chitra. As she was about to enter the mess I grab her wrist and pull her towards me. With my hand on her mouth our faces were inches close. My heart started pounding faster as I felt her breath on my face. I removed my hand.

She let out a sigh .. "Karan you scared me I could have gotten a heart attack."

"You are a doctor Monami, you will take care of your heart."

She kept her hands across my neck .. "So let me remind you Special Agent Karan Shergill I have given the responsibility of my heart to you, it is you who has to take care of it."

"I will take care of it. In return you also have to take care of my heart. Promise me you will never break it"

All the cadets burst out in laughter.

"I should get going before anybody asks for me and they all start looking for me"

I move back a little allowing her to go to her friends. I know this is our professional place and we should be ready for disturbances all the time but they could have delayed it a little she would have given me the promise, may be next time. She gives me a peck on my cheek dragging me out of the thoughts and I smile at her.

"A date...???" I question Monami who tip toed out of her room and hiding from all is sitting in a chair in front of me planning a date for us.

"Yes a date but something different this time." She answers my question, I couldn't read her expression she seemed happy and irritated at the same time. May be she elated with the idea of date and exasperated because I was questioning her.

"Different in what terms..???"

She jumps up in the chair and folds her legs ready to explain me her date idea. She has done a lot of planning it seems.

"So the plan is that we will go for a movie and then have fun in the gaming zone. Sounds like a plan right...??"

She comes near me and pats my shoulders "I know I know you are also bored of the restaurant dates and want something fun something casual... Am I right...?? Or Am I right...???"

She has never sounded so excited and contended for something before this though I am not really a movie buff I give a nod with a big smile on my face. This smile was not fake, her ecstatic face made me grin ear to ear from my heart automatically.

She jumped all around the room and sunk into the chair panting.

"Karan" she whispered still trying to catch her breath.

"Monami" I whisper back, I don't know why honestly. She stood up from her chair and hugged me and I without any hesitation hug her back. Our first hug as a couple, it was much more intimate than the hugs we have had earlier, it was special in every sense.

After the hug I lean forward to kiss her and she shuts her eyes tight and moves a little back. I kiss her forehead then the corner of her lips.

"When we kiss for the first time I want your eyes open till our lips decide to take control. Take your time." I whisper in her ear.

"Karan .. I .. actually..."

"I know you need time, our relationship is just at the beginning stage .. and the longer the wait the sweeter the kiss" She lets out a small laugh when I wink at her.

I have to wait.
