MaNan FF- Nandini's lifeline( ch17- pg61) - Page 28

In her dream, Nandini was running down the stairs chasing after her brother. He had stolen her diary and was threatening to read it. Being a 14 year old Nandini preferred to confess to her blank pages than her therapist. She was running behind Cabir in the entire house shouting and throwing harmless curses at him when she suddenly bumped into something. More like a someone.

He immediately caught hold of her wrist and dragged her in the direction of her room. Nandini's worst nightmare had his hand curled around hers and was forcing her enough to scare her. She looked at her father with scared eyes already fearing the blow that would soon come as soon as he stopped dragging her. She closed her eyes hoping to vanish somewhere. The blow never came.

Nandini sat bolt upright in her bed. She was still clutching the book to her chest. Wiping her forehead with the back of her hand she reached towards her phone on the bedside table. 2. 45 Am. she immediately regretted telling Manik to leave because obviously she was scared of going back to bed alone.

She had her suspicion whether he'd be asleep. The two of them were so used to each other's warmth that Nandini was sure he'd be lying awake in his bed, the one he had hardly slept in since he was a kid staring at the dark ceiling above.

She dialed his number and was happy to be answered at the very first ring.

"What happened? Are you alright?" said Manik's frantic voice from the other end of the line.

"I'm fine now." She whispered.

"I'll be there in a minute." He said with finality in his voice and hung up.

Nandini immediately dumped whatever was on the bed onto the study table's chair and settled on her side. In no time she saw the window open and her six food boyfriend enter.

He looked as good as ever, a muscle tank, log hanging sweatpants and messy hair. Without a word he came close to her and engulfed her in a bone crushing hug.

"I'm alright. I'm alright." Nandini kept whispering as he continued to crush her.

"I know you had a nightmare. Just trying to erase the bad memories." He said untangling himself from her and setting right next to her.

"I'm sorry if I sounded rude earlier, it's too much to take in at once." She said as her snuggled up to his chest with his arms around her.

Manik just looked down at her with hooded eyes. Without a word, he pulled her down so he was totally on top of her. Her eyes widened but she didn't say anything. He balanced himself on his elbows so his entire weight wouldn't be on her.

Slowly with one of his hands, he moved aside the lock of hair that had fallen on her face and bent down. She sucked in air as his lips touched her cheek. He pecked her jaw line a few too many times, and then slowly moved down to her chin. Once he was done with both her cheeks, he kissed her eyes. Nandini help his face between her hands and pulled him down to her lips. His lips crashed hers uncertain at first, but it was hardly a second before his expertise was put to work. Nandini let him kiss her; he entered into her mouth and explored her. It was her tingles right till her toes. Her hands moved from his face to his hair and she tangled and pulled his hair gaining positive moans from him. After what seemed like infinity, he slipped a little further and started suckling at her neck. This time, Nandini was the one making tiny moaning sounds. Involuntarily, her legs tangled around his hip pulling him even closer.

At this Manik looked up at Nandini. He caught hold of her hands and pinned them to either sides tangling their fingers. His lips were back on hers.

Something at the back of Nandini's mind clicked and immediately before she knew it, she had pushed Manik off her and was at the edge of her bed. Her cheeks flushed and she felt the blood rising in them. Without looking at him, she switched off the bedside lamp, got into her blanket and turned the other way.

"We should go to sleep. It's late." She mumbled but thankfully he heard. A minute later when she was starting to get worried whether he'd left again, his hands snaked around her waist and she was pulled into a hard chest.

With her back facing him, she finally drifted to a peaceful sleep contemplating what she would say to him the next morning.
