I'm feeling quite low lately, diving, driving and art is quite literally driving my up a non-existant wall.
But here we go *sigh*
Chapter 20: Volatile
"So what were you saying about damaged goods?" He teased.
She blushed, redder than any red he had ever seen, it was slowly travelling down to the rest of her body where he followed it with his lips, rousing her further, effectively ending the conversation between them.

Some may assume that Payal was horrible by nature? Others may assume that she was made this evil and then there were others, the ones whom could see past it all and see the lost child between the rifts of adulthood.
Child.
That's exactly what Payal was, a horrible child, who was told that she had to grow up, a child who was told that she was not allowed her ice cream that night.
A rather volatile child.
She grew up as an only child, a girl who was given everything within a bat of an eyelash, a girl who some may consider to be spoilt, to be rude, embarrassing and selfish but all had changed when Khushi had hopped into their lives. Her father decided to help her out regardless of her past, her father loved her, adored her and her had mother done the same up until that fateful day.
That day was probably the best day of Payals life, she had run in saying Khushi had stolen ice-cream from the local vendor, but really it was her and what followed was a thrashing of the worst kind, her ear would have been torn off if her father had not come in and stopped the tirade. Her mother beat her till she was yellowing from the fresh bruises and from then on anything that Payal wanted Khushi stole or took just because she was Khushi, be it her fathers love, or her school crush Khushi took it all and it was this that Payal used to set Garima alit, she would use khushi's past as a reminder of what kind of cheap daughter she was, use her cut hair, or acne marks to get her hit. She would use anything and everything and it would work.
But her father the saviour would come in and save her.
Up until that day.
That relished day she prided herself on.
A sinister smile crept up onto her face and she sighed in contentment resting against a fluffy pillow.

They were now half-lying half sitting on the sofa whilst they watched 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum', if anyone saw Arnav now they would assume him to be a clone dressed in the casuals he bought with him and resting against his wife's collar he looked too lazy too relaxed to be the shrewd manipulative business man, especially when he was watching a Bollywood movie, something only people could dream he would do.
He sighed against her skin when something caught his eye.
The forgotten brownies.
He rose in an abrupt movement causing his wife to moan out in protest.
"Where are you going Arnav?"
"Erm, I dropped something I'm just going to get it" He said, looking rather sheepish.
Her eyes followed him as he bent down to retrieve the pack of iced brownies he stood and extended the parcel towards her.
"What is it?"
"Open it and see!" He challenged.
She fingered the parcel with curiosity as her husband came and sat next to her, she caught a whiff of the fragrance and tore it open.
'He didn't' she kept saying to herself.
But he did, as her eyes took them in she kept on looking between her husband and the variously shaped brownies and then she leapt into her arms feathering kisses onto his face.
"You made" Kiss "Them" Kiss "For" Kiss "Me" She asked, her various kisses melting Arnav's firm control.
"Yes" He said laughing.
And that was when she kissed him on the lips making him laugh all the more, his laugh vibrating through her as his fingers met her hair, tangling between their softness.
Their soft pressed kisses were stopped as they felt something warm and sticky between them, Khushi was the first to feel it as all she was wearing was another one of Arnav's shirts which was quite low buttoned.
"Uh-oh" She said.
He laughed again, laughed out loud and said.
"No worries we can lick it off" He said an evil glint to his eye.
