Hey everyone, Here comes Day 2 of Michi's married life. Sorry for the delay in updating this time. I had a very busy week. I am playing a low key in this part and will save hot hot stuff for the honeymoon updates 😉. So, here it comes. Cheers 😃
Prachi whimpered softly. The bright morning sun was pouring into the room through the huge windows and the chill of the sea breaze was soothing. Tucked under the duvet and staying cosy and warm, Prachi smiled feeling a featherlight caress on her cheek. Her eyes fluttered open and her smile widened on seeing Milind's blurry face. As always, imagining Milind's face first thing in the morning was the best way to start the day, she thought sleepily and closer her eyes again and disappeared deeper into the duvet. Enjoying her waking up process, Milind traced her cheeks again with a smile. She looked like a child at that moment. A strong wave of love and tenderness filled him at the sight of her and his fingers slowly traced her lips. He smiled as her lips parted immediately. Her sleep getting disturbed, Prachi whimpered again and stretched her body langrously. She winced and frowed deeply as her tender and overworked muscles screamed in protest.
"Wake up, sleepyhead. Time to rise and shine, my wife", Milind said softly and brushed his lips against hers. Prachi froze and her eyes flew open in shock. Her mushy brain slowly registered that Milind was very much real and he was sitting on the bed and leaning closer to her with a tender smile.
"Goodmorning, Mrs. Mishra", he greeted her huskily and the last of fogginess cleared from Prachi's head. Oh god, he is her husband now and she is in her marriage bed and……….it's the morning after their wedding night!!!! Milind watched in amazement as her face flushed a bright red. So, his wife was fully awake atlast. He laughed softly as she sat up with a start and moved away from him swiftly, holding the sheet protectively around her. Her head was bent and eyes downcast, her face going redder by the minute. The memories of last night flooded in her head and Prachi struggled as a wave of utter shyness washed over her. Oh god, how was she going to meet his eyes!! Milind tucked her messed up hair behind her ear and she bit her lip shyly and winced as her teeth grazed her very tender lips. She gasped in shock as Milind ran his tongue softly over the spot and moved further away from him.
Chuckling, Milind cupped her face, "Hey, you couldn't take your eyes off me last night. Don't go all coy and shy on me now", he said naughtily. Prachi's face flamed and slowly she looked up at him and looked down immediately.
Smiling, Milind brushed his nose against hers, "Oh dear, am I going to wait for hours for you to even utter a word? Don't be so heartless, darling" he said huskily. A delicate shudder went through Prachi as he traced a finger down her arm. Blushing she tried to get off the bed and he held her hand.
"Alright, Cherry! I will be good now. I am dying for some coffee, honey. Won't you join me?" he asked softly. Giving a shy smile, Prachi reached for the coffee pot set on the side table. Milind stopped her, "No darling, Let me", he said and handed a cup to her. Prachi stole sneaky glances at him from the corner of her eyes as they sipped their coffee in silence. She wanted to say so much to him, tell him how much she loved him but she was too shy to even look at him. Her mind raced back to the night before and she blushed delicately but moved closer to him unknowingly.
With a smile, Milind put his arm around her. His hand traced patterns on her arm almost absentmindedly. He leaned closer to her and whispered softly, "Are you ready for that long awaited shower, Prachi?" he drawled on her name seductively. Prachi gasped in shock and colour flooded to her face. Oh no……no please…….not that …….not now…….A shiver went through her and she pulled the sheet around her protectively and she moved away from him. Watching her reaction, Milind frowned. "Prachi", he reached out to her and stilled as she shook her head slowly. She lifted her silently pleading eyes towards him. Milind looked at her silently for a few seconds and gave a slow smile. One hand cupped her cheek, his thumb gently caressingly her bright red cheek.
"Go on then. I will get breakfast ready. Nothing fancy but enough to keep us till Mom arrives here", he said softly. His heart felt constricted on seeing her eyes filling with absolute relief. He watched silently as she rushed into the bathroom. He raked his fingers in his hair. Oh god, she is still so shy!, he thought to himself. "One at a time, honey! But I will strip every bit of that shyness from you. Wait and watch, my cherry girl. I have all the time in the world", he said to himself, grinning wickedly. Whistling softly to himself, he picked up the coffee tray and walked to the kitchen.
Prachi flinched as the warm jets of water hit her soft skin, which had gone all tender, thanks to Milind's unrelenting hands and mouth. Prachi bit her lip shyly. Her body felt different to her own touch. It was as if her body remembered only his touch, she smiled shyly and blushed even more as she saw the tell tale marks where his teeth had grazed her skin in the throes of passion. Her soft skin had to bear the result of her love for his stubble. She closed her eyes as tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks. Could life be any more beautiful than this? What did she ever do to deserve such a wonderful person as her soulmate? Her lips wobbled slightly as her heart constricted in a silent prayer. She stood for a long time under the soothing warmth of the water.
Opening the door, she peeped into the room, her eyes quickly searching. Relieved to find the room empty, she stepped out. Standing in front of the dressing table mirror, she ran her hands through her now dry hair. Holding the pallu of her heavily worked dark maroon and beige coloured saree, she was busy trying to pin it on her shoulder, when her eyes met Milind's in the mirror. Leaning against the wall, he was watching her. Freshly showered, his still wet and messed up; his casually thrown unbuttoned shirt gave her an eyeful of his masculine chest. He looked devilishly handsome and she couldn't move her eyes away. He slowly walked towards her and her nervous fingers fumbled with her pallu. Without a word, he took the safety pin from her hand and pinned the saree. His eyes met hers again in the mirror and Prachi's face grew hot. His fingers played with her silky hair and Prachi bit back a moan at his soothing touch on her scalp. "Beautiful", he murmured softly and turned her towards him. "Say something, honey", he said huskily.
Prachi drew a deep breath, "What?" she croacked and licked her suddenly dry lips.
Milind's eyes grew darker and stayed fixed at her lips. "There are a lot of things to say, Prachi. You can tell me how much you love me…………..how crazy you are about me. You can tell me that all you want to do this minute is just kiss me senseless", he said a seductively low voice, his thumb caressing her lips as he spoke.
Feeling breathless, Prachi raised her shy eyes towards him, "I love you………I am crazy about you" she said huskily.
Milind gave a slow grin, "That's my girl. But you missed out the kissing me senselessly bit", he said naughtily. Blushing, Prachi tried to push him away but his arms only tightened around her. "Hey, why should I be the one to kiss you all the time? You never do", he complained.
Prachi gave a shy smile, "I did", she said softly.
Milind raised his eyebrows, "When did you kiss me? Today?" he asked her.
Prachi shook her head. "Then, was it last night?" he asked again.
Prachi nodded shyly, "yes…….a lot" she said in a low voice, wishing that he would drop the subject.
Milind struggled to keep a straight face, "Well, I don't remember any such thing. Did you kiss me when we were sitting on that loveseat?" he asked with a frown. Surprised and confused, Prachi shook her head.
"When we were on the bed?" he asked again. Prachi nodded slowly.
"Oh, what was I doing to you before you kissed me?" he asked looking way too innocently.
"You were……..", Prachi stopped realising with horror what she was about to blurt out. Her cheeks turned a deep red and Milind bit the inside of his cheek to keep himself from laughing out aloud. Oh god, he was enjoying this way too much.
He nuzzled her neck, holding a squirmish Prachi close,. "And what did I do after you kissed me? Tell me darling. Help me remember it", he said huskily and Prachi struggled to answer as the events of lastnight flooded into her mind. She gave a shudder and unable to stop himself anymore, Milind chuckled softly.
Realising that he had been teasing her, Prachi protested and buried her flaming face in his chest, "Mi……lind".
"Do you know how many times you took my name last night, Prachi?" he murmured against her ear. Prachi whimpered, burying her face deeper in his chest. "Hmmm, I never knew that my name could sound in so many different ways on your lips. It was a gasp…….a protest……..a whimper……..a surrender……..a plea……..a prayer …..and so many more things, darling. I remember each and every second Prachi. I know how many times you kissed me and when" he said huskily and Prachi closed her eyes tightly, getting pulled back into the magical web his words were creating. Milind pulled her head back and looked at her, "It's been hours, Cherry. Isn't it time we kissed eachother senseless?" he asked huskily.
Prachi drew a shuddering breath in and lifted her face up and towards him in silent invitation. Milind's eyes smouldered with black fire and with a groan, covered his mouth over hers. One hand clutched her hair, holding her head still and the other trailed down her back, played at her waist and moved lower boldly, holding her close against him. Prachi's hands travelled up to his shoulder, holding on to him with all her might as her knees were dangerously close to giving away as his mouth wrecked havoc on her senses. A loud beep sounded on his phone and Prachi moaned a protest as he moved away. Breathing heavily, he held her close to him, his hand caressing her head resting against his chest. Pulling himself together, he pulled the phone out of his pocket. He chuckled softly, reading the message. He bent down to kiss Prachi's head and smiled at her confused, bright red face. "A warning from Vicky", he said and showed his phone to her.
"You guys have exactly one hour to wind up whatever you are doing right now. My poor heart can't stand any shocks, so get decent quickly", it read.
Gasping, Prachi tried to move away from him. Laughing, Milind held her close, "Don't worry, honey. A lot of things can be done in one hour. We will wind it all up in our own pace", he winked at her.
Vicky's warning had effectively brought Prachi back to reality and she pushed Milind away and hurried to brush her hair.
Chuckling, Milind took the hairbrush out of her hands. "All that can wait, Prachi. I am starving and I know you are too. Afterall, we did share last night's hardwork. Let's eat first", he said teasingly and pulling a blushing Prachi along, walked into the garden.
Seated comfortably with his arm around her, Prachi smiled shyly as she passed the cup of coffee to him. They had eaten toast and fruits that Milind had hurriedly put together. The morning sun was pleasantly warm through the glass roof and the bright blue sea in the distance added a soothing calmness to the morning. With a sigh, Prachi closed her eyes and leaned against his shoulder.
Milind's finger traced her cheek, "I am going to miss you, sweetheart. Do you really have to go?" he asked.
Smiling at the tone of his voice, she nodded, her eyes still closed. "You will also be there in the evening though", she said softly.
"It will be hours before I come there. You are so heartless, Prachi", he complained softly.
Smiling, Prachi's finger traced a pattern on his shirt, "Come soon", she said huskily and buried her face in his shoulder at his soft laugh.
"Now that's better. You are not so heartless after all" he said and kissed her lips.
His phone beeped again. "Half-an-hour", the message read. Laughing, Milind stood up and pulled her along, "It's definitely time to get decent now. They will be here soon", he said and they walked back into the house.
Prachi smoothed her clammy and nervous hands down her saree and pulled the pallu covering her head properly. She could hear the laughter and voices of her in-laws and Vicky's parents in the front hall. Vicky walked in behind them, twirling the car keys around his finger. He stopped in front of Milind and his eyebrows rose questioningly. Milind gave a meaningful wink and they grinned at eachother.
"Hey, where is the new bride hiding? Is Prachi BHABHI not going to welcome us?" his teasing voice boomed across the room.
Prachi hurriedly walked towards them and touched the feet of the elders. She blushed delicately as they blessed her. Her bright red face and her son's happy and content eyes was enough for Shweta and she smiled happily at Anand.
Vicky put his arm around Shweta's shoulder, "Mausi, your son and daughter-in-law looks well rested. Did you guys have a good night's sleep lastnight?" he asked innocently.
Milind just grinned widely but Prachi looked at him confused and surprised. Vicky burst out laughing, "Oh god, Prachi. That was too easy" he said and realising that he had been teasing them, Prachi went bright red. "Give me some credit, Prachi. My brother has got the "Cat that got the cream" look on his face. No….No…more like "Cat that got the whole pot of cream" look. I know that sleep would have been the last thing on your minds lastnight. Am I correct?" he laughed again and Prachi closed her eyes, too embarrassed to look at anyone.
Laughing, Shweta smacked his head, "Enough now, Vicky. Don't embarrass the poor girl" she chided him.
Shreya quickly led Prachi in, "Your uncle and two of your aunts would be here soon, Prachi. Your parents have invited us for dinner tonight. So, we will be there in the evening………along with Milind", she said teasingly and Prachi blushed more.
Inspite of their protests, Shweta fed both Milind and Prachi more food. Vicky continued with his teasing remarks now and then and shut up only after Milind kicked him hard on his shin. Their parents just hid their smiles pretending to have not heard. Prachi's relatives arrived soon and Prachi rushed to get ready. She gasped as Milind's strong arms enclosed her as soon as she stepped out of the room. Worried that someone might see them, she struggled to get away. Effectively holding her still, Milind's mouth covered hers, kissing her urgently.
"Oh man, give it a break guys. You have been at it all night", came Vicky's exasperated voice and horrified, Prachi pulled herself away and ran from there.
Grinning, Milind raked his fingers through his hair, "Aw, man, I love her", he said softly.
Laughing, Vicky slapped his back, "That's clearly written all over your face, bro. Come on now, people are waiting", he said and they walked out together.
A loud shriek went out as soon as her cousins and friends saw Prachi and she smiled happily as she was welcomed with an aarthi. She smiled at her mother shyly as Premlatha atlast managed to have a minute alone with her daughter. Inder had been overjoyed as if he hadn't seen his daughter for a year and monopolised her time till Gayathri bua pulled him away. Then her other relatives and Prachi's friends took over. Knowing that the peace and quiet won't last for long, Premlatha sat next to her daughter. She had so much to ask her daughter about the first day in her husband's home. Prachi gently reassured her mother how kind her in-laws and Vicky's parents were to her.
Premlatha held her daughter's hand, "Aur Milind, Prachi? Milind kaisa tha……mera matlab…"she struggled to phrase her question, her mother's heart worrying. Her daughter had looked radiant but Premlatha but she looked at Prachi hoping that she wouldn't find anything worrying behind that radiant and happy look in her daughter's eyes.
Prachi's face flamed but understanding her mother's worry, she squeazed her hand, "Milind bahut ache hai Mama. Mujhse bahut pyar karte hain", she said softly. Her heart constricted to see the relief on her mother's face. She smiled shyly as her mother hugged her.
The rest of the afternoon passed quickly for Prachi. Lisa had come later and dragging Prachi away from other's eyes, she looked at her with raised eyebrows, "So?" she asked her. With a shy smile, Prachi nodded and hugged her friend. Laughing, Lisa hugged her back, "See, I did tell you. May god bless you with so much happiness all your life", she said sincerely and they smiled at eachother, their eyes moist. Pooja had been helping Premlatha even before Prachi came and she wouldn't stay when Milind and his family arrives. Prachi was overjoyed to know that her parents would soon be meeting Vicky's and Milind's parents for dinner. Even Inder and Premlatha were going to join them. Only Prachi and Milind would be on their honeymoon. She smiled watching Neev carry another big box of sweets. He had been running around the house carrying one thing or the other from the minute she had arrived. Catching his eye, she gave a shy smile. Neev stood still for a minute watching her with a smile. She looked different today, radiantly beautiful with a permanent shy smile on her lips. He could see that she had become Milind's in every way. His heart sincerely wished that the happiness in his best friend's face would never dim, her smile never falter. He smiled at her again and with a sigh, walked away.
The afternoon only became noisier the minute Reba and Rita arrived. They immediately pounced on Prachi, teasing her to the hilt so much so that even Lisa and Pooja felt pity for her. Unable to handle them any more, Prachi buried her face in her hands and the girls laughed aloud. Pooja left soon afterwards and Prachi stayed in her room, surrounded by her friends and cousins.
"Sis, I found one", whispered Reba to Rita pointing the side of Prachi's neck. The girls giggled to themselves and within minutes Rita shouted, "Two".
Prachi looked at her surprised, "What?" she asked them.
Reba hugged her from behind, "Lovebites, my darling Prachi", she giggled and the room erupted in a chorus of ooooooooooooohhhhhhs. A horrified Prachi went crimson and pulled her saree closer to her body.
"Are you girls bothering my darling wife?" said a voice from the doorway. Shocked to see Milind there, the girls went quiet. Reba and Rita started giggling.
"What are you doing here, Milind? Shall I call Inder uncle?" asked Lisa naughtily.
Milind grinned realising they had all been teasing Prachi. Throwing an arrogant look around the room, he walked straight to Prachi and put his arm around his blushing wife. "Who would have the right to stop me from coming into my wife's room? Not even your Inder uncle, Lisa", he said.
He settled comfortably on the bed and pulled Prachi down next to him. Prachi struggled to move away from him but in vain as the girls only started teasing them more. Milind matched them word for word and Prachi only blushed more, glaring at her husband now and then.
Atlast Lisa said, "Alright, Milind. I can see that you are desperate to get us out of this room. Carry on", she laughed and pulled the other girls along with her.
"Close the door behind you, Lisa" Milind called out to her and winked at her as she laughed.
As soon as the girls left, Milind tightened his arms around Prachi, "Where you waiting for me?" he asked, nuzzling her neck.
Squirming, Prachi shook her head, "Not at all", she said softly. Why should she tell him that he had been on her mind all day and that she had kept looking at her watch wondering what was keeping him so long?
Milind laughed softly, "Liar", he whispered against her ear and Prachi gasped as his fingers traced her waist.
"Prachi beta, Sab log niche intezaar ………", Premlatha walked into the room and she stopped on seeing Prachi in Milind's arms. Embarrassed, she cleared her throat as they jumped apart. "Sorry, Dono jaldi neeche aa jana", she mumbled and turned to walk away.
"I was just telling Prachi that we should be going down" he winked at a glaring Prachi. "She never listens to me, Aunty…….sorry…….Mama" smiled Milind naughtily, remembering she said that he shouldn't be calling her aunty anymore.
Premlatha touched his arm with a fond smile, "Mein Prachi ko samjha doongi beta. Bas ab tum dono neeche aajao. Jaldi bhi toh nikalna hai", she said and walked down with them.
Inder watched his daughter walk straightly towards Shweta and sit down next to her. Seeing her among Milind's family, it struck him how things had changed within a day. He can see how happy she was and as a father that was what he had been praying for. He had been waiting all morning for her to come home but the hours had passed so quickly and now she would be leaving soon. He knew that was how things would be. She would just visit them and then go back to her home. Pal bhar mein parayi ho gayi hai meri bachchi, he sighed and his eyes grew moist. Dinner was an elaborate affair and conversation was pleasant and funny.
Walking into the garden, Inder handed a glass of juice to Anand, "Anandji, would Prachi and Milind travel with us to London? They should be back from honeymoon by then", he asked.
Thanking him for the drink, Anand smiled, "No, Inderji. They would go to London straight from their honeymoon. Don't worry, Prachi will be there to welcome you when you arrive. It would give her a few days to settle down before the reception" he said.
Inder nodded. There were still so many things to do. He smiled as Milind joined them.
"Dad, we should be leaving now. It's getting late", he said.
Inder agreed immediately. It was getting late. As they walked out, Inder asked Milind, "Milind, would you and Prachi come home again before leaving for your honeymoon? We won't see her for another two to three weeks" he said.
Milind smiled at him, "I don't think that would be possible. We are having lunch with my friends tomorrow before they all leave India and dinner will be at home with our relatives. We will leave the day after tomorrow", he said apologetically. Seeing Inder's face fall, Milind touched his arm, "Don't worry about Prachi. I will look after her. You would be coming to the airport to see us off, anyway", he said softly. Inder nodded with a smile and walked with him to the car.
After lots of hugs and goodbyes, Milind and Prachi got into the car. They were driving straight to the beach house and Vicky was going to follow them in his car to make sure they were okay. Vicky was not very sure if Milind would be able to concentrate on his driving with his new bride sitting next to him but Milind had rubbished his concern and was adamant that he would drive the car. Prachi leaned back on her seat and rolled the window down. The cool breaze was soothing and she sighed. She had been feeling very emotional after leaving her home that evening. Her heart squeezed in pain as she recalled that all her relatives had treated her like a precious guest in her own home. Even her room had felt different. She sighed again and looked at Milind as he tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. She smiled meeting his eye. But then she was prepared to leave the whole world behind her for him. She sighed again and leaning back, closed her eyes. A melodious song drifting through the car speakers and the cool breaze slowly lulled her to sleep. Milind smiled as he watched her sleep. He had wanted to say so much to her but realising that she was feeling a bit emotional, he had kept quiet. He swiftly parked the car at the beach house and turned to a sleeping Prachi.
"Wake up, honey. We are home", he said softly. She was deep asleep and he frowned when she didn't even stir after his repeated attempts to wake her up. He got out of the car and Vicky walked towards him.
"What's up, bro?" he asked Milind.
"Prachi's asleep", Milind said softly and smiled sheepishly as Vicky chuckled.
"Aw, you poor boy! Now do the decent thing and let her get some sleep", Vicky winked at him.
Miling grinned, "Open the door, bro", he threw the keys at him and Vicky walked to the door still chuckling.
Prachi whimpered a protest as he lifted her in his arms gently. He stilled wondering if she was going to wake up but Prachi rested her head against his neck comfortably and continued to sleep. With a sigh, he walked inside carrying her.
"What did you do to put her to sleep in the car,…….sing lullaby or what?" Vicky asked naughtily and Milind laughed.
"Get going bro! Lock the door and throw the keys in through the window", he instructed Vicky.
Laughing, Vicky did as he said, "Sleep tight, Milind", he shouted through the window and walked back to his car.
Milind gently laid her on the bed and stood up, looking at her. She promptly curled up on her side and continued to sleep. She was still wearing a heavily embroidered saree and a lot of jewellery and he wondered if he should change her into something comfortable. He stopped himself realising that the minute he touched her, all his decent thoughts would flee. Smiling to himself, he went to freshen up.
Milind stretched comfortably on the garden lounger and took another gulp of coke from the can. It was close to midnight and the moon was bright and high in the sky and the night air was crisp. It was a warm night and he had discarded his shirt already. He closed his eyes in content. He was married to the love of his love and his beautiful wife was sleeping inside peacefully. Life was as beautiful as it could ever be and he wondered what more could he want. He sighed happily.
Prachi never knew what disturbed her and she woke up with a start. Confused to find herself in the room, she struggled to remember. Realising with horror that she had fallen asleep in the car, she got up quickly. Wondering where Milind was, she freshened up quickly and went looking for him. Finding him in the garden, she stood there watching him for a minute. He looked relaxed but she was worried if he was upset with her. How could she have slept like that? She chided herself. She was sure that Milind would have put her to bed and was more embarrassed knowing that Vicky would tease her about it the next day. She walked towards him slowly, her heart thudding in nervousness. Alerted by the sound of her anklets, he opened his eyes in surprise.
Straigtening up on seeing her, he said, "Hey, you woke up". Seeing her wriggling her hands nervously, he smiled and stretched out his arm, "Come here", he beckoned her closer.
Prachi walked closer to him and gasped as he pulled her down on his lap. She hid her face in his shoulder, murmuring softly, "Sorry".
Milind smiled, holding her close, "What for, you silly girl? I should be the one to say sorry. I should have realised how tired you would have been. We should have left early", he said softly.
Prachi pressed her hand to his chest, relishing the warmth and the hardness of his chest against her hand. She was not complaining of tiredness, she thought to herself, embarrassed at her own thoughts.
"Do you want a drink?" Milind asked her and she shook her head. "Do you want to go back to sleep?" he asked.
She hesitated too shy to say no. He would then ask her what she was planning to do if not sleep. She bit her lip and stayed silent.
Milind smiled. "You need to change, honey. Let's go in. It's late already and we should get some sleep", he said softly and without waiting for her reply, he got up.
Confused and surprised, Prachi walked back into the room. Her eyes kept sneaking back to him as she removed her jewellery.
"I am going to take a shower, Prachi. The night is just too warm for me. Don't wait up for me. Go to sleep or go and take a shower if you want to", he said and walked to the bathroom.
Prachi watched his retreating back with dismay. Only this morning he was asking her about the long awaited shower. Confusion and disappointment filled her. She wondered if he was upset with her. Struggling with her thoughts, she called his name softly, "Milind".
Hiding his smile, Milind turned to her with an innocent look, "Yes, sweetheart, Do you need anything?" he asked.
Prachi's face fell. She shook her head, "Nothing", she said in a small voice and turned back to brush her hair. She looked up in surprise as he stood close behind her.
With a wicked smile on his lips, he whispered close to her ears, "You were trying to tell me that water is precious, right?" he asked.
Prachi gasped and went bright red realising that he had been teasing her all along.
"You have a splitsecond to answer, Prachi. Yes or No?" he asked with a grin.
"Yes", Prachi murmured way too softly and buried her face in his chest as he laughed heartily.
"Sweet and spicy, Eager and shy…….You are a mindblowing combination, honey. Do you have any idea what you do to me?" he asked huskily, his arms holding her close. Prachi buried her face deeper too shy to say anything. "What are we waiting for, Cherry? Let's go and do our bit to help the environment" he said naughtily. Prachi gave a small shriek as he lifted her in his arms. Prachi buried her burning face in his neck and with a chuckle, he walked towards the bathroom.
