Happiness for everyone☺️
“You were supposed to arrive AFTER I returned from work, not before” he was hopping mad… it was 9:40 PM
He had ran to the flat only to be told by his Amma that she had just left with the kid
He had followed her home
“If you are afraid of the private interactions I have with your Mum how did you expect us to even be married A? Unless you expected to quit your job and monitor us” she laughed sadly
“I am not afraid…” he lied
“You are…. That’s OK too… we have to be honest with each other”
Jaidrith was in the shower singing
Aatreya’s heart melted. “Is he this good?” he asked in shock
Mrunalini smiled
“I am not afraid of my Mum…. I am not afraid of you, I just don’t want any one to be hurt”
“In this situation its impossible sorry” she was chopping eggplant furiously
“Why cant we all have what we want?” he scowled
Leaned on the wall with such force he sent a grocery list white board flying
He bend down to pick it up, and hung it as she bedn down to pick up the wall clip
Standing up only to ram into him
He just grabbed her and held her tight
“I smell like a rental car and sweat” she glowered
“Why didn’t you take yours?”
“My transmission is bothering me”
“Let me take a look” he buried his face in her neck and inhaled
“I want you to know if I had a do over I would do the Lonavla meeting so differently”
“The first or second one?:”
“Both… I wouldn’t have been selfish and stupid, I would have followed u home, asked for your number… something”
She tried to pull away
“Its been so long since I held you”
“You are clean and I am dirty” she said simply
They both froze
They both read too much into it
“Let me kiss you please?”
“You cant stay the night” she whispered pulling away from his caressing hands
“U think I don’t know that?”
She tangled her legs with his and burrowed her face into his chest drinking the scent of of his clean body, his firm body was a tapestry of deliciously varying textures and small thrills of ectasy slithered across her skin as she measured herself against his rigid length
Her parted lips brushed against his collar bone and he groaned, , as he held her body closer pressing her curves to his lower body
She pushed her smooth cotton shorts clad thighs between his legs twisting her upper body to allow her peaks to scrape his tee shirt clad chest, he uttered a agonized groan
“I am staying” he barked
His hands caging her ribs, his thumbs placed under the mounds stroking a glistening sheen of perspiration slicking across his upper lip
The sandiness of his smooth shaven jaw, the warm wet whip of his tongue as they traversed the front of her tee first, later yanked it up, boldly soaking and tasting her skin
Sweet hot chills shivered down her body, his bone melting caresses and the way he devoured her skin, causing her to thrash wildly against him, everytime she shut her eyes in delirium he stopped completely until she opened them so they could look at what they did to each other
Continuing to consume her while they were fully clothed standing in her kitchen
He used her hands on himself and used his on her, to drive her to the pinnacle of pleasure, reimprinting his identity in her mind, they swayed and shook and swayed finally settling down to regain their breath
“I want more” she whispered in agony
“Glad to hear it” he whispered on her perspiration drenched ear
“Thanks” she muttered softly
He gently soothed her hair possessively
“I missed you, I have a picture of your eyes in the night, on the roof” he said with a smile
She sighed resting her face on his hammering chest
They heard the bathroom door unbolt
She pulled away straightening her clothes, and went to the sink to wash her face
He left the room to go check on the kid
She didn’t leave the kitchen until she finished cooking dinner for herself
He had eaten at Atty’s already
He returned to the kitchen around 30 minutes later and found her bent over a pestle and stone crushing some spices
“Are we ready to eat?” he asked casually
“U want to stay for dinner?” she turned perplexed
“U wont feed me?” he smiled
“I will” she nodded innocently
“Well then lets eat”
“Ur Mum must be waiting”
“I told her I am going to be late” he said coldly
“You want to live the rest of your life running between Khar and Chembur” she giggled opening the pressure cooker recoiling from the steam
“Well that depends on you Mrunalini” he leaned on the kitchen door jamb
She turned around and leaned on the counter without making eye contact
“If our umm.. u know… brief excursion to paradise (tilting his head to point to the spot where they were standing) didn’t convince you… I can try harder” growling
“OK” she nodded
He laughed
“We have to talk I am not going home until I do”
A quick giant melee ensued as Dhru refused to eat despite Pramila texting Aatreya about how poorly he had eaten, Mrunalini relented and agreed on a middle ground, if he ate a bowl of rice he could have mango sorbet, there was none in the freezer, Aatreya went to get it with Dhru tagging along, Mrunalini showered and set the “table” on the living room dhurrie
Dhru ate half his rice all his sorbet and went to bed, too tired to argue falling asleep quickly
“I Have no idea when did “I” start wanting what you want” she muttered serving Aatreya rice
“You make it sound like I am wishing for something criminal” he sulked
“No… its not… we are different people you are normal I am not… Ur family is normal mine is not, it would be a miracle for it to work”
“We have talked about it like a 100 times” he was pissed
“We always come back to it because there will never be approval from your family”
“What did my Mum say”
“she was polite and respectful and kind and said she did not see a future for you WITH ME”
Mrunalini hid her tears
She had already thrown up in anxiety after returning home, the whole matter gave her terror vibes
“Its not her place to choose”
“Then you will be back to visiting your wife when your parents are in town”
“Id be damned if I do that”
“OK U can spend ur time with ur parents then” she chuckled misreading his statement
“You have not officially agreed except for that one time about ring sizing… I am still convincing and begging you and wishing you would be bold”
“We should just hook up whenever we want until you get married to who your Mum picks” she said quietly “Everyone can get what they want then…”
He stopped eating and just stared
