Hello. This is just a drabble that I wrote because I was itching to write something. And, I happened to watch an episode of IPK which inspired this. Take a guess as to which scene I am talking about.
Ignore the typos.
ArHi Drabble No. 1
"Arnav" Khushi called from inside the attached bath. Her husband was startled out of his semi awake state when he heard her loud voice. She called him again before he could respond.
Arnav yawned as he lifted his head off the pillow to shout back, "What is it, Khushi? Why the hell are you screaming the house down! Do you want to wake everyone else up at 5am?"
"You infuriating man! You are the one who woke me up at 4.45am. Ungodly hour, that! And, you are yelling at me!" she snapped back from the other side of the door.
Arnav wanted to walk out of the room & sleep in the guestroom. But she would give him hell if he dared to do so. So, he rubbed his eyes & sat up, leaning against the headboard of the bed.
"Woman, you need to catch an early flight out to Mumbai. I am doing YOU a favour. Remember?" he asked. There was no gratitude in this world, he sighed.
"Right. The flight is at 8.15am! You & your time sense is such a pain. And, now in my half awake state, I have forgotten to bring my towel inside. Give it to me. I don't want to get the bedroom floor wet." she said, huffing.
Arnav groaned & banged his head to the wall behind him. He saw her towel lying at the foot of their bed. He pushed off the comforter, got off the bed & stretched while yawning again.
"Arnav" she called back, wondering if he had fallen asleep yet again.
Arnav shook his head. "Coming. Will you give me a minute?" he said, exasperated.
"I am freezing here." she snapped.
God, she was cranky as hell when woken up early, Arnav thought.
He picked up the towel & walked to the bathroom door to knock on it.
Arnav was still yawning as he heard the door being unlocked. He extended the towel to the opening door, only to be unceremoniously yanked inside the bathroom.
"What the!" he exclaimed only to see his wife locking the door & giving him a triumphant smirk.
"You're naked." he said, a little dazed.
"Duh." she said, laughing.
She launched herself at him while he caught her deftly. She smacked a kiss to his jaw.
"I figured, we needed something to get by this week of separation." she said as she nipped his ear lobe making his breath hitch & bringing him back to reality.
Arnav groaned as he pulled her closer. "You bet! You planned the towel thing?" he asked as he nuzzled her cheek.
Khushi pushed away & gave him a "get real" look.
He laughed, pulling her back into his arms & kissing her mouth. "What was I thinking! Of course, you didn't plan it." he said.
"Will you keep talking or get to work?" she said looking pointedly at the track pants he was wearing.
Arnav chuckled. "Will you ever go about things like a normal person?" he asked rhetorically, pulling himself away from her to get rid of his clothes.
Khushi gave him another "get real" look & shivered from the cold.
"Ok done." he said as he got rid of the pants & she jumped his bones. They were to make up for a week, after all.
