Kartik's POV
I have tried my best to move on from her but I am still stucked to where she left me. Both of us are here in New York and in the same hotel, Hotel Claridge's. It'll be a lie if I tell you that we've not spoken in spite of being in a same hotel because we have, infact more than just a hi, hello has happened. We talked about what's going in our life, upcoming projects, our families and other thing. What we've not had any conversation about is us. I don't know if she wants to talk about us, our past, our future or does she even thinks about us anymore. I've thought to make a conversation but stopped immediately due to fear of loosing this little moment. Not that I'm trying to rebrew pain from past but one has to take initiative right? We've been roaming together in the streets of New York for few days now and today Sara was gonna take me along with our team to some famous club. Neither of us are fan of clubbing but this time we thought to give it a go. Honestly I don't even care what the place is I just want to spend time with her be it in a club or some street.

Today, I've decided I'll will tell and ask everything that has piled up in my heart in these years. I got all ready and called Sara to ask if she was ready to go but she didn't picked up the call as I was all ready I thought to go to her room and check if she was ready. Our rooms were just 3-4 rooms far. I knocked on her door and asked if she was ready.
"Bass 2 min aarahi hu"
She replied. I was about to leave but suddenly I heard sound of lock. Sara opened the door. She was wearing a black crop top, black mini skirt that hugged her curves perfectly and high boots. She was looking very very hot, a total hot mess. I was staring at her like a maniac when she snapped her finger and asked if I was ok. I acted like nothing has happened and asked if she was ready to go. She asked me to come inside and wait for 2 mins.

"Areyy ready toh hai 2min kyu chahiye"
"Haan ready hu but I'm not sure about this outfit"
"Kyu? You look so fucking hot. Dekhta reh gaya tha ma-"(I stopped realizing what I said)
"I'm ready. Chalo chalte hai"

I should watch my mouth, I whispered and followed her as she went out of the room. We took a cab from hotel to the club. Sara was walking ahead so she quickly took back seat and sat on the window seat then I followed her and sat next to her. Her presence is enough for me. We finally reached the club. I really wanted to have Sara all by myself today as I was gonna talk my heart to her. I asked her friend and my manager if they could leave us alone and they agreed. And why wouldn't they both of them infact every member from our team knew about my feelings. We were dancing, jumping  and enjoying to our best. We got really tired and went aside from the dancing floor to the bar. Neither of us drink alcohol so we order a mock tail and started talking about random topics. Sara was just drinking her mocktail  and she complained about unusual taste which we didn't really care about. Suddenly Sara ran towards the dance floor and started dancing like no one was looking. Not that I've never seen her like that but still something felt wrong. I was seeing her from far away and I decided not to interrupt her at that moment as she was dancing like there's no tomorrow, she looked so stress free. A tall, white and quite good looking man came towards her and started dancing with her. Of course I couldn't see that so I went towards them, pulled Sara by her waist, kept her hands above my shoulder and started dancing with her. Sara is definitely drunk I thought to myself and continued dancing. We were dancing as if nothing has happened in last 3 years. Her body perfectly fitting in my arms, her hands over my shoulder and our body dancing in perfect rhythm, such a dreamy moment it was.
"Kartik mujhe na tumse bhaut important baat karni thi"
She murmured and hugged me. By now she was really drunk as she cannot handle drinks at all. I insisted her to go back but she was not listening at all. She just kept hugging as I hugged back. She was still murmuring something but I was unable to hear her properly due to loud music. I tried convincing her but Sara being Sara was not ready to move from there so I carried her in bridal style and took her outside the club. I made her sit on the bench that was placed in the parking area. Her head was rested on my shoulder.
"Main kabse kuch bolne ki koshish karr rahi hu, baat kyu nahi sun rahe" she pouted
"Accha sunnraha hu bata"
"Nahi aab nahi batana" she turned around
"Sara batade na sunnraha hu, aise naraz matt ho"
"Tum kabhi meri baat nahi sunte.Accha batati hu. I was telling...woh main bata rahi thi how muchhhh I love you-"

Wait she said what!!!!- I thought I was dreaming and listening what I wanted to listen from her mouth.
But she kept going...

"Pata hai kitna try kiya maine but move on karr hi nahi saki. Sochti thi chalo now I've moved on lekin jab bhi koi tumhara jikar karta tha, back to where I was. Jab bhi tumse related kuch ata tha insta main ya koi tumse related baat karta tha toh apne aap smile karne lagti thi. Uss din jab salloon (years) baad mile and when we hugged each other it felt home. Aur jab phir award show pe mile toh I didn't know how to react aur awkward dikha. Kitna kuch khena tha tumse parr sure nahi thi na tum kya sochte ho. Aur haan dekhatha maine tumhe mujhe dekhte hue par smart Hu na toh normal act kiya. Uske baad jitne bhi baar mile harr barr kuch alag feel hua. It felt like I was falling in love all over again." She paused
"Ruko ruko aur bhi batana tha parr abhi yaad nhi aaraha. Parr tum ruko haan main yaad karti hu. Haan, main bolrahi thi I-I love you aur-"

I pulled her in a very tight hug not letting her speak further. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. I was so speechless at that moment. I just held her in my arms and felt that instant sukoon that I've been searching for years. Then finally I realized what she really said, I LOVE YOU!!! SHE SAID SHE LOVES ME. I screamed to myself while still holding her in my arms. I kissed her forehead and kept hugging her. It's been more than 10mins now and sara was not moving at all. "Sara, are you ok?" I pulled her out from hug just to find her asleep. "I love you Sara" saying this I creased her face, kissed her forehead and picked her up in bridal style to take her back to the hotel. Of course I had so much to say but now now I didn't wanted her to forget what I've said next day as she was drunk.
I informed her friend and my manager about us. We reached the hotel and Sara was awake by now but was very drunk. I picked her up and headed towards the elevator. She wanted to stand and walk by herself. I said I will help her but her puppy face was enough for me to get convinced. She was standing holding my hands but suddenly she burried herself in my chest with her hands in my waist. I obviously hugged her back but this hug was not casual but more of a sensual hug. She was directly looking at my eyes. I was already on choke hold with how hot she was looking and now she is directly looking into my eyes. I controlled myself and stopped Sara too as I didn't wanted anything to happen as she was drunk. I took her to her to room but she didn't had her keys. So I took her to my room, took her shoes off and laid her on the bed. I was about to leave when she held my hands and pulled me asking to stay back. I tried convincing her but ofcourse I failed. I laid beside her thinking I'll go once she is asleep. I didn't realized when I felt asleep.

Sara's POV
After all those unplanned meetings now we were in New York City and in the same hotel. I miss him so much. Now I can't lie to myself, it's been years of me trying to convince myself that I've moved on, he doesn't affects me but not anymore. He does affects me, I love him infact have always loved him. He has no idea about how much I want to tell all these things to him. But will I say this? No. Why? Because I don't know what he feels, what he thinks about us, or does he even thinks about us anymore. Right all I know is I love him, I love Kartik.
It's been a few days now that we've been roaming around together. We've talked a lot about different things be it our personal life or professional life but what we've not talked about is us and I don't know if we'll ever talk about it. Today I was gonna take kartik along with his team and my friend to a very famous club. I wasn't sure if he would agree as he is not really into clubbing and all but he did. My phone was almost dead so I kept it in charge and started getting ready. "Sara are you ready" I heard a voice with a knock on my door. I was almost ready but I was not sure about the top I was wearing. I said I'll be ready in 2mins and went to open the door and saw kartik standing. Kartik was wearing a  white shirt with first three buttons unbuttoned, black formal pants and shiny black shoes.He looked fine af. I couldn't take my eyes off from him.I just kept staring at him but came back to reality with my friend's voice. But kartik was standing still, "Are you ok?" I snapped my fingers. He was acting as if I didn't notice him looking at me, such a bad actor he is in real life. I asked him to come inside and wait for two mins as I was not sure about the outfit. He complained why two more minutes when I was all ready.
"I'm not sure about this outfit" I replied
"Kyu? You look so fucking hot. Dekhta reh gaya tha mai-" he didn't complete the sentence.
This was enough for me to decide if the outfit was okay. I was speechless of what he said. My cheeks were turning red and I was not able to hide my smile anymore so I went outside asking them to come along to go to the club. I sat inside the cab. Kartik came and took his seat just beside me. Being around him was enough for my heartbeat to speed up. We reached there and entered inside the club. How I was wishing to spend some time with kartik and to my surprise both my friend and his manger started dancing together leaving us all alone. We danced like there's no tomorrow. Then we got off from the dance floor and went to take a drink. Neither of us drink alcohol so we ordered a Mocktail. We got our drinks and we started having it talking about how fun it was. My mocktail was tasting unsusual, I said this to kartik but we didn't really care about it. As I was drinking I realized it was an alcoholic drink and I was getting drunk. I was all drunk by the time I realized. I went on the dance floor and started dancing like no one was watching. Suddenly a tall, white man approached me for a dance. I didn't get a chance to agree or disagree and we were dancing already. As we were dancing I felt a hand in my waist, before I could realize who it was, I was in kartik's arm with his hands in my waist and my hands over his shoulder. We were dancing as if nothing has happened in last three years.

I was not in my sense and all I could think about was kartik and I dancing together. I hugged him in between the dance and told him I wanted to tell him something. He insisted a lot to go back but no I had decided to tell him what I felt. I was trying to tell him but he was not listening to me I don't know maybe because of loud music. Then he picked me up in a bridal style and took me outside the club. He made me sit on the bench. I was upset with him as he was not listening to what I was saying.

"Main kabse kuch bolne ki koshish karr rahi hu, baat kyu nahi sun rahe" I pouted
"Accha sunnraha hu bata" he insisted
"Nahi aab nahi batana" I turned around
"Sara batade na sunnraha hu, aise naraz matt ho"he insisted again
"Tum kabhi meri baat nahi sunte.Accha batati hu. I was telling...woh main bata rahi thi how muchhhh I love you-"  And I finally said it.
Itne din jo maan main tha finally maine bol diya. I didn't stopped here I said what I felt in last 3 years. How I felt when we met for the first time after years. How I felt like I was falling in love all over again. I said it all. Before I could complete my sentence he pulled me in a very tight hug and started sobbing. I was about to say something but I felt asleep as I was very drunk. I don't remember what happened after that. When I opened my eyes I was standing with kartik inside the elevator holding his hands. I burried myself in his chest and hugged him very tightly. I was staring straight into his eyes, I don't know what got into kartik but he pulled me back and picked me up. We were heading towards my room but I didn't have my keys so he took me to his room. He removed my shoes and made me lay on the bed. He was leaving but I stopped him holding his hands and insisted him to sleep beside me. At that moment all I wanted was him, kartik beside me. I took his hands and held them against my cheeks and fell asleep.
I woke up with severe headache. I looked around thinking this is not how my room looked like. Suddenly I felt a grip in my waist. Kartik was laying beside me while holding my waist and resting his head on my head. I didn't remember how I got here or what happened last night. Last thing I remember was kartik pulling me by waist for a dance. I tried getting up, pulled kartik's hand from my waist and was about to stand up.
"Sara please abhi nahi, 5min aur, tu bhi soja na"
He pulled ne back and hugged me like I was some soft toy. I tried waking him up but he was not listening at all.
"Are you still drunk?" I whispered in his ears.
"I was never drunk" he woke up saying that
If he's not drunk then why is he behaving like this, I asked myself.
"You don't remember what happened last night?" Kartik asked me while still holding me in his arms
" Not really, I do remember something but not everything. Last thing I remember is us dancing together"
" Toh madam ko main baat hi yaad nahi hai, WAAH"
He woke up saying this.
"You said it all"he said
I didn't get what he was saying, " said what?" I asked
" Everything you had in your heart"
I was not sure if I confessed my feelings to him but he just kept giving illogical answers to my questions.
" Ok fine. I'll find it myself" saying this I tried getting up from the bed as I was really irritated with his behavior but he pulled me again and kissed my forehead asking me to take care of myself and thanking me. I was so confused about what might have happened last night. Why was he behaving like that?Did I confess my feelings to him? Did something happened between us? There were lots of questions going on in my head but I decided to let it be as it was my birthday today and I didn't wanted to mess up my birthday.
