## Romantic & Intense: Late Night Chat

**(12:00 AM, Abir and Nisha are messaging)**

**Abir:** Still awake?

**Nisha:** Hmm, can't sleep. It feels really hot tonight.

**Abir:** Why don't you open the window? There’s a light breeze outside.

**Nisha:** I did. But the way the air is touching my skin... it’s making me feel restless. I feel like it would be better if someone were here with me.

**Abir:** What would you do if I were there?

**Nisha:** (After a while) I don’t know... maybe I’d just sit beside you with my head on your shoulder. Or... no, never mind.

**Abir:** Tell me, why are you being shy? I already know what you’re thinking. I can tell just by looking into your eyes.

**Nisha:** Ugh! You understand too much. Actually... in that moment, maybe I’d want something else. Something that would stay just between the two of us.

**Abir:** And what would that be? Explain it to me a little.

**Nisha:** Like... turning off all the lights in the room and closing the distance between us. Feeling your touch near my ear... and...

**Abir:** And?

**Nisha:** And nothing. It’s getting very late. Let’s talk tomorrow.

**Abir:** Why are you running away? I’ve only just begun...

❤

**(12:15 AM, the chat continues)**

**Abir:** Why are you running away? I’ve only just begun...

**Nisha:** You’ve become very naughty. Do you know, hearing these things from you is giving me goosebumps?

**Abir:** Really? Well, if I were actually in front of you right now, and I leaned in close to whisper something, what would you do?

**Nisha:** (A heart emoji) I don’t know... maybe I’d close my eyes. When the warmth of your breath hit my neck, I don’t think I could hold myself back anymore.

**Abir:** I can actually imagine how you’d feel in that moment. Nisha, that black mole on your neck... I’m so tempted by it.

**Nisha:** Oh, Abir! You’re crossing the line. My body feels like it’s going numb. It feels like a strange intoxication is taking over.

**Abir:** Of course it is. This night belongs entirely to the two of us. Imagine I’m very close to you, my hand running through your hair... and slowly, my fingers graze your cheek and move downward...

**Nisha:** Stop... I can’t take any more. Do you know what I’m feeling right now?

**Abir:** What are you feeling?

**Nisha:** I feel like if this chat could somehow turn into reality... maybe this night would never end.

**Abir:** The night is still young. Are you going to tell me more of what you’re hiding?

❤

**(12:30 AM, the chat continues)**

**Abir:** The night is still young. Are you going to tell me more of what you’re hiding?

**Nisha:** You’re very stubborn, aren’t you? Okay, listen... I’m lying in bed right now, thinking only of you. The curtains are fluttering in the wind, and the moonlight is falling directly on me.

**Abir:** (A fire emoji) What if I were there as a shadow over you instead of that light? Would you push me away?

**Nisha:** No... I wouldn’t. Instead, I’d hold you even tighter. It’s like I can smell the familiar scent of your perfume right now. My heart rate is up, Abir.

**Abir:** Mine too. Nisha, are you wearing that silk nightdress? Just thinking about it touching your skin does something to me.

**Nisha:** (Blushing emoji) How did you know? Yes, I’m wearing that. It’s very thin and comfortable... but right now, it’s making me feel so restless. I feel like I’d be more at peace without it.

**Abir:** Do you want me to come and relieve you of that restlessness? When my hand finds the curve of your waist, won’t you stop me?

**Nisha:** Do I even have the strength to stop you? I’m completely lost in this intoxication of you. Right now, I just want to look into your deep eyes... and when your lips gently touch my forehead—

**Abir:** Just the forehead? I wanted to go much deeper. To a place where no one has reached before.

**Nisha:** Abir... please... don’t say any more. I can see everything when I close my eyes. My whole body is trembling.
