"Deep pink, baby pink, hot pink, coral pink, congo pink, china pink, charm pink, cherry blossom pink, candy pink, bright pink, brink pink, cameo pink, cerise pink or carnation pink? Which one do you think would look good?" Khushi asked going through the different colored room wallpapers in the book.
"How does it matter Khushi? It's all the same, PINK!" An exasperated Arnav came and sat by his 7 months pregnant wife. Khushi gave Arnav a disapproving look before getting back to the book again, "I want it to be perfect for our daughter!" Khushi declared in a discussion-over tone. Arnav got up with a sigh and started pacing the nursery's length in frustration. It had been like forever since Khushi and him got to spend some time together. In the whole last month, it's either been shopping for the coming baby, designing the nursery, looking for names, or something else...related to the baby. Arnav ran a frustrated hand through his hair and stilled looking at his excited wife. Urgh...why is she so hell bent on making him blame the baby who wasn't even born yet.
"Khushi...look, just choose any color, I'm sure she'll love it!" Arnav went and sat beside Khushi before snatching the book away from her hands. "Arnav!" Khushi let out a startled gasp before reaching out to get the book back. "Enough of this...get ready. We're going out for dinner" Arnav declared and started walking out of the door when her voice startled him.
"I'm not coming!" Khushi crossed her arms on her chest and faced the other way. Arnav let out a defeated sigh and walked back towards her and slumped on the couch next to her. "Fine.." Arnav handed the book back to Khushi who happily took and started skimming through the pages once again.
Arnav was about to leave his crazy wife so she could choose whatever she wanted to when suddenly an idea clicked in his mind.
Khushi was totally engrossed in the book when she felt two arms snaking around her waist. Shocked, she gasped and turned to look at the owner of those arms which was not so surprisingly, Arnav. Arnav leaned his head on her shoulder and pouted making Khushi giggle and turn back to the book she was looking at earlier. A while passed, they kept sitting like that. Another two minutes passed when Khushi felt something ticklish on her neck and turned a little to see Arnav leaving butterfly kisses all over the side of her neck...his hand slowly moving up and down, caressing her baby bump.
Khushi arched her neck sideways, giving him more access to her milky skin. She was slowly getting intoxicated by his cologne, kisses and...well, everything about him was intoxicating. Khushi turned into his arms to face him...he started leaning in towards her pink plump lips...Khushi closed her eyes in anticipation. Her breath was coming out in short gasps. A little while later, Khushi still had her eyes closed...waiting for him to make the move. Three to four more minutes passed, when not sensing him near her...Khushi opened one of her eyes only to witness Arnav sitting at a distance, his arms crossed over his chest and a smirk playing on his lips.
"I'm sorry Khushi for distracting you...you should get back to the book. There must be a lot to do" Arnav got up and left the room with the smirk still in place leaving Khushi's mouth hanging open in the air. Khushi looked around to locate the book, lifeless on the floor where it was forgotten.
Khushi picked up the book and closed it properly before putting it on the table besides the couch. After keeping the book, Khushi placed her hands on her hips and got up with a you-don't-get-away-after-messing-with-KKGSR expression and stomped behind Arnav to finish their unfinished business.
