~ Sweet Delights ~
Nandini's POV
The subtle sheen of the warmed my drowsy eyes , causing them to flutter for a few moments. It was way past midnight and my stomach twisting into knots. I cloaked my mouth with the back of my palm and suppressed a yawn.
Momentarily my eyes pursued the crumpled sheets hoping to find his ardent face.
Asleep. Serene and calm.
But he wasn't there. Why wasn't he here? He'd never leave the bed. Not at night.
My thought racing trying to make some sense of him. He'd probably in the washroom. I was about to bury my heavy face in the cozy comfort of my pillow when I the squeak of the pantry door jolted to my ears.
So that's where he was, my my, Manik Malhotra is raiding the kitchen and I exactly seem to know what he wants. Forcing my elbows into the mattress I thrust myself up and ended up landing safely on my feet. Then tiptoe, I marched my way into the kitchen.
The refrigerator, half open.There he stood, his eyes hunting down every corner, the faint gleam emitting from inside illuminating his well preserved chest. I stood there breathless, gaping at him, he was a sight I could never get bored of. But right now I had other plans.
My hands made their way to the polished wooden shelf. I gently pulled out a box. Then hurried back to the doorway and switched on the lighting.
"Looking for something,Manik" I cocked an eyebrow at him.
"Well you see... I ...erm...was" Couldn't help but giggle when he was at a loss for his words.
"Its fine" I tried not to sound rather amused, "I exactly happen to know what you want"
I raised the box over my head making it visible , to him and then flipped away the lid, taking out a small vanilla cupcake covered with melted chocolate and crusted with crunchy nuts.
"Manik, I very well know that you came looking for this, and for your information I have no intention of giving it you. I want to eat it.You can buy another one for yourself"I crossed my arms tight, hoping it would make my point clear to him.
"But Nandu...You know I love them and they are limited edition" He pouted. Innocently yet with a glow in his eyes, hinting at the mischeif hidden in his eyes.
"If you think I'll fall for that Manik, then your dead wrong,I am not sharing. I.Wont.Give.This.To.You" I snapped staring at the well structured piece of food in my palm.
"Well that leaves me with no choice but to take it from you" He shot back.
"But if you need to take this from me you have to catch me first" I yelled at him
Retreat. Flee. Dodge.
I ran as fast as my half-sleepy legs could carry me. He charged right behind me.
Out of breath. Panting. Cant run anymore.
I leaned myself against the wall of the dining hall. I was sure he was away. Probably looking for me: upstairs. I ogled at the luscious treat. Safely kept, in mine palm.
"I should probably eat it now,before he comes down"I lifted my eyes to find him standing there.
Oh my! What have I got myself into ?
He inched closer.Slowly. Taking one step at a time.
I wanted to run. Badly. But I was too damn tired.
Neither could I move back. I was already at the wall. Now he's gonna eat this.
Not fair.
He placed both his arms by my side. Caging me.
He leaned in. His nose brushing against mine. I swiftly thrust the cupcake into my mouth. Score! Now he can't have it.
"Nandini, do you think that is going to stop me from having it" He smirked.
His arm slithered down my waist. His body harboring against mine.He bit my bottom lip.
Then barged his way into my mouth and reached for the piece I still had in my mouth.
I should have swallowed it.
His tongue battling against mine. I felt him tearing the cake within my mouth and taking it out into his.
After he finished his share of what was mine he licked his lips, almost teasingly. He tilted my chin up and cleaned the bits of chocolate left on my lips with his.
My cheeks flushed Pink. Red. Then Crimson.
He placed a soft peck on my forehead and held me. Tighter.
"Nandini, I have never eaten a cupcake like that before. I must say it tasted way better that I'm considering eating it , like that , Always.You are the sweetest delight ever." He whispered into my ears.
"Well, yet another first Mr.Malhotra" I whispered back curling my arms around his neck.
"Yes,another first Mrs.Malhotra. It's always firsts with you" He uttered burying his lips in mine .
