Great update Grace.

I loved Prem's reaction at the grocery store. In a way he deserved it. He really started realize how valuable Heer is to him. But I really enjoyed Prem's jealousy during and after the poker game. I know it may sound mean but he really needed to know how much Heer means to him and sometimes it takes jealousy to make us realize that.

Raj and Heer's breakup was good. It was a peaceful break up, I guess you can call it. I am so glad Raj got the hint that Heer was interested to go back to Prem. Thank goodness that is over.

Heer winning all the poker games was hilarious. Good for her.

Veera, Ashleesha and Sanjana grilling the chicken....I mean Prem was the best 😆. I don't blame Veera for her protectiveness for her friend but I hope all three of them will accept Prem soon.

It was nice to see Ashleesha getting along with Rishab and Sanjana with Prashant but who will Veera end up with?

Thank you for the PM. I can't wait to read your next chapter. Your PH love scenes always make me 😳, so I guess your next chapter will really make me 😳 😳 more. 😆

loved it alot

Recently there seems to be more hot romance stuff going on with some of the writings on the forum *cough*soapsick*cough*. The title of this part Love probably deserves more masala? But for now I really wanted to just highlight some of the everyday fun and tender moments between the two. There is a bit of spice but nothing completely flaming...a mild order shall I say? I don't know if I'll ever be able to write something quite like that as I generally don't really write that way and of course with the rules on the forum don't want to get myself into any trouble 😛. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy the next part. I had a lot of fun writing it.

Thank you all who have taken the time to Comment and/or Hit the Like Button! Really means a lot to me 😃

Part 10: Love

Prem and Heer collapsed onto the couch exhausted from the party that had just ended. Meher, Preet, Veera, and Nihaal had stayed behind to help the couple clean up and didn't leave until well after eight pm. "I can't believe the party lasted from 12-8," Prem said.

"That means everyone was enjoying themselves. You threw a good party," Heer replied.

"We did," Prem corrected. Heer smiled at him and leaned her head on his shoulder. He moved his arm around so she could cuddle closer to him. They sat on the couch for a few minutes in silence just enjoying the peacefulness of the moment.

"I don't think I'll be able to eat anything for a week," Heer finally grumbled.

"I told you to stop eating the paneer tikka," Prem replied. "It's pretty filling."

"I know I just couldn't stop," Heer giggled. "They were soooo good." The compliment made Prem smile even more. "I'm going to have to go on a diet. Having a Master Chef as a boyfriend is going to wreck my waist line."

"What are you complaining about? Your figure is fine Heer," Prem said.

"No, it isn't...I have a pudge," she pouted tapping her tummy.

"Everyone gets one after eating...especially since we've been eating all day," Prem replied slapping his gut, "See..." Heer giggled and poked his stomach. "Oh, before I forget I have something for you," Prem said and got up from the couch much to Heer's disappointment. She frowned at having lost her cushion. "It's a copy of my house key," Prem said handing it to her. "I thought it would be easier this way. You'd be able to come over any time you like." She stared at the house key and glanced at him realizing what this meant. "Don't think too much Heer," Prem replied seeing the way she was looking at him. "It's just a key."

She leaned back onto him and gently pondered as she played with the key, "Should I empty a drawer out for you?"

"If you want to...would make things a lot easier if I end up spending the night," Prem simply stated. "I'll make some room for you too." Heer snuggled closer to him resting her head on his chest and sighed. "Do you want stay over?" he asked.

Heer snickered a little and said, "Convince me."

"I have a big comfy bed...enough room for two," Prem replied. Heer just shook her head giggling. "No? Hmmm...I'll be your personal body warmer." The comment only made her titter even more. Prem frowned, "I guess there's only one thing left to do," and quickly slid out from underneath Heer to scoop her into his arms. "Satisfied?" he asked.

"Saves me from walking I guess...you taking me home this way?" Heer replied sarcastically.

Prem dropped her at the foot of the stairs furrowing his eyebrows, "Still not convinced, huh?"

"You're not thinking," Heer simply replied.

"Not thinking?" Prem said and then smirked as he pinned her against the wall. He felt Heer's slender fingers run through his silky hair as they passionately kissed. He gently slid his hand up her white shorts to caress her thigh pulling her leg up which she automatically wrapped around his right leg. A soft moan escaped Heer's lips as he leaned his lower waist closer into her. Prem grunted in frustration when she placed her hands on his chest slightly pushing him away. "Say it," she commanded.

"It," he replied. Heer slapped his chest in disapproval. "Say it?" he ventured again.

"Preeem," Heer whined.

"I want you?" he continued to guess.

"I'm seriously going home," Heer replied fed up that he had completely ruined the moment.

"I love you," Prem quickly corrected. He then smiled rubbing his nose against her nose, "Do you think I didn't know?"

"Took you long enough," she pouted untangling herself from him indicating she was no longer in the mood. Prem smirked and quickly scooped her up in his arms making her scream. "Do you really think I'm just going to let you go home?" he asked as he ran up the stairs.

"Prem, put me down," she ordered.

"Nope," he replied shaking his head knowing she really didn't mean what she was saying.

"Put me down," Heer repeated.

"No, no, no, no, no," Prem childishly shouted as he pushed his way into his room.

A few seconds later a cluster of flirtatious giggles erupted from behind the closed bedroom door. The giggling eventually led way to sweet murmurs and lovesick moans as the night crawled forward.

**************************************************

Prem silently crept his way through the dark into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door. The lone door light was blinding but eventually his eyes adjusted and he was able to scan the contents that lay inside. He had managed to slip away from Heer without disturbing her sleep so he could come downstairs to find something to eat. His stomach rumbled and he patted it asking it to be patient while he decided what to fill it with. He was surprised to feel a pair of slim hands encircle him right above the waistband of his boxers. A soft smile formed on his mouth and a tiny shiver went down his spine as he felt the delicate touch of her lips kissing his bare back. "Sorry, I thought I was able to get up without waking you," Prem apologized.

"You did. I got woken up by my stomach," Heer replied as a warm chortle escaped her throat.

Prem laughed and turned around to see her wearing his white cotton dress shirt again. "You like wearing my dress shirts," he mused.

"They're comfy and they smell like you," Heer explained with a smile. "And I don't have my PJs with me...these are the next best thing."

He chuckled and then asked, "So what will it be?"

"Something light..." Heer replied.

"There's a little bit of crunchy ramen noodle salad left...don't know how crunchy the noodles may be," Prem said.

"I'll take it. There's some fruit left too, isn't there...could you grab some?" Heer asked.

Prem nodded and started taking things out of the fridge for them. A few minutes later they were sitting at the dining room table eating. "Are you sure you don't want some chicken?" Prem asked.

Heer shook her head, "I'm fine with my salad."

"How's that report you're working on?" Prem asked.

"Heh, it's going," Heer answered. "Going very slow...but I think I can talk my editor into giving me an extension."

"That's good," he replied and took a sip of water.

"What about you and your clients. Roshni hasn't done anything yet has she?" Heer asked rather worriedly.

"I think those were just empty threats. She's smart not stupid...she knows she can't afford to screw around with the clients. It will affect the firm's reputation. Half those projects are already in the completion phase anyways so she can't do anything...besides Bob spread my client list out evenly among those remaining. Preet has Mr. Tanaka...haha...it's driving him crazy," Prem said. "The only thing Roshni can do is just bad mouth me which won't get her anywhere considering the work I've done. But we'll see...I haven't really found a job yet...just working on these little side projects for friends." Heer remained thoughtfully silent. "Don't worry Heer I'll be fine."

She gave an understanding half grin and went back to eating her food.

Heer smiled excitedly as she drove her car down the familiar neighborhood road. It was like she was on auto pilot her body naturally knowing when to make the left turn or what street to slow down at. This was perhaps the result of driving in this same area for the past four months that her brain had simply condition her body to know exactly what to do. She parked the car in the driveway and stepped out feeling a strange mixture of eager hesitation. It had been one whole week since she last saw him. She had been called away to attend an important conference in Washington D.C. and even though they talked on the phone she still missed him. It just wasn't the same as seeing him in person. She couldn't wait to feel his arms engulf her into a hug, see that beautiful smile of his, and breathe in his intoxicating scent. But part of her was slightly wary of what lay before her as she slowly opened the front door. He had been extremely busy the past month trying to get picked for a building project. He was still contracting on his own and the stress of his situation was starting to wear at him. He was worried but he did his best not to pass his anxiety over to her. He also made the effort to take breaks and step away from work even if it was just a Sunday brunch, a movie on Saturday, or an hour walk in the park. She appreciated his gesture and did her best not to demand too much of his time while he worked on the project.

When she walked across the threshold she was relieved to see the place was still relatively clean. She was afraid he'd let himself go while she was away. Prem was busy sketching and measuring things on his drafting pad in the dining room table; his supplies scattered everywhere. She never understood why he insisted on doing his work at the dining room table when he had his own office upstairs with the proper architectural drafting table to complete his work. Every time she asked he simply complained about the lightening upstairs. He was only in his office when he needed to work on the digital layouts. Prem lifted his head when he heard Heer come in and beamed a huge smile. He had a pencil tucked behind each ear, his hair hung low on his forehead and the back of his neck indicating he needed a haircut, and his facial hair had grown unruly; not yet a full beard but extremely rough. "Hey! You're back early," he greeted her as she jumped into his arms.

"I took an early flight," Heer replied enjoying his bear hug. "Prem, how many days have you've been wearing this outfit?" she asked when they broke apart.

"Two days? Why?" Prem asked inspecting his white shirt and black track pants.

"You've got a coffee stain on the front," Heer said in disbelief that he was wearing something dirty for two days.

"Oh, yeah I just did that this morning. I'll was going to change later tonight before bed," Prem simply explained. "So how was your flight?"

"It was fine. I'm a bit tired but so glad to be back home. D.C. was fun but the conference was a bit nerve wracking," Heer replied.

"Did that guy finally leave you alone?" Prem asked.

"Zac?" Heer answered making a face. "No, he kept trying to hit on me even after I told him I had a boyfriend and was not at all interested in him."

"Next time just say you're married to a big strong body builder who'd break him in half if he tries anything," Prem replied.

"I'll have to remember to do that the next time," Heer chuckled. Prem grinned and gave her a loving kiss. The new sensation of his fuller facial hair against her skin wasn't too appealing to her. "Are you trying to grow a beard?" she inquired when the kiss broke.

"What, don't like the look?" Prem asked as he purposely rubbed his face against her cheek.

Heer playfully pushed him away and pouted, "No."

"I'll shave as soon as I get the project. Ever since I stopped shaving I've been on a roll," Prem explained and went back to the dining room to finish up some work.

Heer sighed shaking her head at his superstitious behavior and went into the kitchen to inspect if there were any dishes that needed to be washed. She smiled when saw it clean. The one place she knew for sure she needed check was the laundry room. And sure enough the clothes hamper was overflowing with clothes. When she had left his hamper was full and he had promised her he would do his laundry. She puffed her cheeks out into a pout and then went to work on separating his clothes so she could do a load. She had just finished throwing his clothes in the washer when she heard the house phone ring. She heard the murmurs of some discussion going on and then the racing of feet as they crossed the wooden floors towards the laundry room. Prem came running into the room extremely excited. "I got the project Heer!" he shouted and swung her around in the air while he hugged her.

"What, you did? That's fantastic!" Heer cheered.

"Yeah, it turns out that the project I've been working on was actually being sponsored by Mr. Tanaka. He was out of town last month and was letting some of his business associates handle the selection process. When he came back and found out I was one of the candidates he told his associated he wanted me. He just personally called me to tell me I got it. He said he sometimes test out architects by making them work on strange request to see how they respond to pressure and customer demands'guess that explains the toilet bowl and upside down house...and if they do well he keeps them in mind for big projects...he said he liked my work when I was working at the firm and wished that I hadn't left," Prem explained.

"I'm so happy for you. I had complete faith in your abilities. I knew it was only a matter of time," Heer said.

"Thanks for having so much faith in me," Prem replied and gave her kiss.

"Now," Heer commanded as she grabbed his face, "Would you please shave this thing off!"

Prem chuckled, "Okay. But I have a better idea." The next thing Heer knew she was being dragged upstairs into the master bathroom.

Heer stared at the item being handed to her and glanced at Prem with worry. "Oh come on, it isn't like you haven't shaved before," he replied. The bottom half of his face was lathered up in shaving cream and he was standing in front of the sink waiting for Heer to take his razor.

"But I usually shave myself...I've never shaved anyone else before," Heer replied.

"I trust you," Prem answered. "It's no different." Heer bite her lower lip and hesitantly took the razor from his hand. He smiled and obediently stood still well she began her work. He could feel the gently pressure she placed as the blade grazed across his skin cutting the hair off the side of his face. Heer took her time being as delicate as possible so she wouldn't accidentally nick him. She paused ever so often to wash the razor in the sink getting rid of the hair and shaving cream it collected.

A few minutes later smooth baby like skin appeared where shaving cream once hung. "Do the bottom underneath your chin and throat yourself. I don't want to nick you there," Heer said handing the razor back to him. Prem smirked and quickly finished the rest himself. "Wait," he replied grabbing Heer before she left. "I think you got some shaving cream on you."

Heer stared at him, "Where?"

"Here," he replied and rubbed some of the residual shaving cream on his face onto hers. "Preeem!" she yelled. He laughed and ran out of the bathroom as she gave chase. Prem hopped onto and over the bed as he ran around the room to make his escape from her grasp. Heer grabbed a pillow and swung it at him only to have it be caught and yanked suddenly sending her flying onto the bed. Prem followed on top and they tussled for a few minutes before the revengeful behavior gave way to a romantic kiss. They both quickly broke apart and gagged as the shaving cream interrupted their enjoyment. "Ugh, Prem!" Heer shouted.

Prem stick his tongue out displaying his displeasure in the taste in his mouth, "Uhh...that's disgusting."

"Well of course shaving cream isn't meant to be eaten," Heer replied. "I need to wash my mouth."

"Mouthwash," Prem said as he followed her into the bathroom.

Heer handed the bottle to him as she had already taken a cap full and stood there swishing her mouth. She bent down to spit the minty liquid out and suddenly felt a splash of something wet falling on her neck. She immediately stood up and looked at Prem in disbelief. "Did you just spit on me? How could you? I was right there."

Prem sheepishly grin, "Sorry, I did it without realizing. It's really strong." Heer scrunched her face and began slapping his shoulder. "Aahhhhh...okay, I get it," he replied moving away from her.

"I'm all sticky now," Heer said rather annoyed.

"I can fix that," Prem replied and pulled her into the shower with him.

"What are you doing?!" Heer squealed as the shower head sprang to life and rain down on them instantly soaking their clothes. "Now I'm all wet."

"At least you're not sticky anymore," Prem said sarcastically. Heer rolled her eyes at him while he smirked and lifted the hand held shower head down to purposely spray the rest of her body.

"Preeem!" she cried with a mixture of playful anger.

"What? Just helping you wash off the shaving cream and mouthwash, sweetheart," Prem grinned mischievously. Heer grabbed the hand held shower head away from him and sprayed him in the face. He just stood there smiling gladly taking his punishment. He slipped his hands around her waist to pull her closer but Heer shifted her body in time so her back was facing him. Prem held her firmly while she squirmed trying to break away from his hold. "Stop trying to play hard to get," he commanded and gently rubbed his nose against her cheek. Heer smirked and then sighed as she felt his fingers brush across her skin as he moved the long wet strands of her hair away so he could kiss her neck. Giving into the moment the shower head slipped from her hand and swung backwards clanking into the wall scaring both of them. After the initial shock they both started laughing, Heer hiding her face in the crook of Prem's neck while he held her securely. Heer lifted her head and caught his eyes; a glowing intensity illuminating from them. She grinned knowing exactly what he wanted. She gently kissed him at first but eventually the kiss deepened; their tongues fervently greeting each other after the long week apart. Heer suddenly pulled away much to Prem's disappointment and said with a rather accusatory tone, "This was your plan the whole time wasn't it?"

Prem smirked, "Yea."

"You know all you had to do was ask and I would have been more than willing," Heer replied playing with his damp hair on the back of his neck.

"But you got it admit it was a lot more fun this way," Prem replied moving his eyebrows up and down playfully causing Heer to giggle. "So, Ms. Maan your boyfriend has been extremely lonely without you for the past week what are you going to do to make up for it?"

"Hmmm," she playfully pondered, "...bake him some cookies?"

"That's nice...and what else?" Prem probed.

"Take him to go get a haircut!" Heer cheered. "Cause he needs one really badly."

"Heeeer," he whined.

"Preeem," she mocked back. He frowned and tired leaving the shower only to be pulled back. Heer gave him a tiny smile and inched closer to him. Her long wet eyelashes batting delicately at him as her eyes displayed the emotion of love. "You're not going anywhere until I'm done with you," she commanded. Prem grinned as her lips touched his and they enjoyed another round of sensual kissing. Heer slowly moved her hands down his chest and lifted the end of his shirt upwards. Prem paused and peeled the wet shirt off his torso letting it drop to the floor with a heavy thud. He was expecting some more kissing when Heer suddenly said, "Stay here," and then exited the shower. She came back with the can of shaving cream and his razor. Prem stared at her with a perplexed look. "You know how I hate chest hair. I figure if you didn't shave then you weren't maintaining this either," she explained.

"You're serious?" Prem asked.

"Stand still," she ordered. "You're the one that started this."

"Are you going to cut my hair next?" Prem asked as he let her lather him up.

"Unless you want some uneven funky hairdo," Heer chuckled. "I said I'll take you to go get your hair cut. You know maybe we should get you that new Nivea product for men...the Active3...shampoo, soap, and shaving gel...all in one. It will save you time in the mornings. You just need to get a fog free mirror installed here and you'll be all set." Not wanting to waste any more water Heer turned the shower off and went to concentrate on her task. Prem puffed his cheeks into a slight pout depressed that things were not working out as exactly as he had planned. "Stand straight and don't slouch," Heer ordered. He nodded his head and said, "Yes, dear."

**************************************************

Heer sat curled up in the leather recliner in her Victoria Secret blue-green plaid pajama shorts and blue v-neck t-shirt with her hair wrapped tightly up in a towel and the New York Times crossword in her hands. She reflective bit on the back of her pen trying to figure out what number 21 across was. "You know if you keep biting the pen that way you're going to break it and get ink mouth," Prem warned. "I think that's just as bad if not worse than shaving cream mouth." Heer glanced up and saw him rubbing his hair dry with a hand towel. He was wearing his red basketball shorts and had his white ribbed tank carelessly thrown over his left shoulder. She couldn't help but admire her own work. He looked clean and his muscles were more defined on his chest after his shave. She stuck her tongue out at him in protest. "Okay don't say I didn't warn you later," he replied and put on his tank.

"Prem are you going to clean the dining room table off?" Heer asked. "How are we supposed to have dinner?"

"Yea, I'll go do that," he answered.

A few seconds later Heer was gagging as blue ink spilled into her mouth. Prem laughed at the sight of blue dribble on the side of her mouth. "I told you didn't I?" Heer ignored his jest and raced upstairs to brush her teeth and wash her mouth out. Prem continued to clean up his work area moving his things back upstairs. When he was finished he went to check on her in the master bath. "Heer? You okay?" he asked.

She nodded her head and spite out some mouth wash. "Ugh...that was bad," she replied. Prem just smirked earning him a smack on the arm. "Stop laughing."

"I'm surprised after all the countless times I've seen that happen to you...you still haven't learned to stop chewing on your pens." Prem replied.

"I've gotten better," Heer defended.

"What do you do at work? I bet no one wants to use your pens," Prem said.

"I use pencils," Heer simply answered. "For some reason I don't chew my pencils. And I do have some pens and they aren't chewed on thank you very much."

Prem grinned. "So what do you want to eat tonight?"

"I'm fine with anything," Heer replied.

"I'm not really in the mood to cook," Prem said. "Okay if we order pizza?"

"Sounds great," Heer said in agreement and began walking out of the bedroom.

"You know you owe me some cookies," Prem said. "Where are my cookies?" he demanded childishly.

"I can't snap my fingers and make them appear," Heer replied.

"Is there a fee?" Prem asked causing Heer to look at him strangely. Prem smirked and pulled her closer giving her a kiss. "Minty," he replied after they broke apart.

Heer laughed and then handed him the cordless phone in the living room. "You dial and I'll go make the cookies." Prem smiled and did as he was told.

**************************************************

A half eaten large pizza, two cans of Pepsi, and a plate of cookies later; Prem and Heer were curled up comfortably on the living room couch watching television. Heer yawned and rubbed her eyes sleepily. "I'm going to bed Prem," she announced.

"I'll be up in a few," he replied. "I'm going to finish the movie."

"Okay," she said giving him a quick kiss and then went upstairs.

Prem smiled at her retreating figure and then went back to watching the movie that was playing on television. An hour later the movie ended and he switched the TV off. Prem cleared the coffee table and put the pizza into the fridge before trudging himself up the stairs to his room. He quietly opened the door and made his way into the bathroom to brush his teeth and get ready for bed. He smiled at himself in the mirror inspecting the shaving work Heer had done for him. He decided they should have these shaving parties more often. Prem turned the bathroom light off and crept silently to the bed so he wouldn't disturb Heer who was clutching the bedcovers peacefully sleeping. He gently slipped himself inside what little cover was available and turned towards Heer watching her angelic face and listening to her soft breathing as she slept.

Prem gingerly brushed his fingers from the top of her forehead down tucking her hair back behind her ear. He sighed to himself thankful that he was able to have this second chance with her. The last four months seemed to have flown by and he was in awe at how their relationship seemed so much stronger like they had never been apart. He reflected back to those lonely four years and how the only reason he was able to survive were the memories he had of her; those sweet memories that he cherished so deeply in his heart that would wake him at night haunting him, taunting him, and reminding him of what he lost yet still comforting him. He could see her, sense her, hear her laughter, taste her lips, and feel her warm embrace and love. Now he didn't have to live on those memories because she was here in the flesh in front of him. He was determined to drink fully this loved they shared and live without any regrets. He still had a lot to make up for and he was resolute in spending the rest of his life making new memories with her to replace the hurtful ones that he had caused her. Prem caressed her sleeping face and then gently placed a kiss on her forehead. Heer sleepily opened her eyes causing him to frown that he had woken her. "Sorry," he apologized.

Heer shook her head and offered the covers, "I took the covers again didn't I?"

Prem softly chuckled, "A little bit." He settled comfortably back into bed with her, the covers now evenly spread around them. Heer snuggled her head on his chest and fell back into a deep slumber. Prem grinned at how tired she was from her business trip and gently stroked her hair letting the silky strands flow between his fingers. He sighed happily and then closed his eyes slipping into a peaceful sleep.
