Fishing for comfort
Sharanbir opened the door for them.
"dadooo?" Leela squealed
"I stayed home since I knew you were coming" he said with childlike satisfaction
Trisha was amused
"Ms Shanbag" he called
she walked upto him nervously
"Can I get a hug?" he let go of his cane it clattered to the floor as he pulled her closer
"Good good" he muttered a slow groan escaping his old squishy body
"There was lot of traffic" she said as he wudnt let go
"I am happy you came back" he said
"Why will she not?" Leela asked innocently
"You know its her father's house beta she might want to stay there" Mandira was quick to explain her father in law
ashvin had given his Mom a hug and already gone to his room
"Are u making fish for me?" he asked releasing Trisha from his hold
"You think I learned to cook?" she chuckled
"I think you KNOW how to cook, you are just afraid" he said firmly
She colored self consciously
"I am a great judge of people Ms Shanbag" he said firmly
"Leela how did u enjoy?" Mandira hated the attention her konkani DIL was receiving
"OH MY GOSH... OH MY GOSH... Mom Tri's home... OH MY GOSH" Leela scrolled through her phone
"I saw you sent me pictures" Mandira stalled her
"NO YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS... they actually have a granary, the floor was like lil square tiles of various colors, it even had the triangle slot for lamps, just like the movies"
You are a lucky girl" Sharanbir said compassionately
"Its an old house" she said sadly
"I LOVE IT" Leela said
"chalo theek hai, pehle jao, freshen up, I fixed dinner"
"No fish?" he asked his grand daughter in law
"If she has cooked means..."
"We can eat tomorrow"
"Nahi... kal bana legi fish" mandira said struggling to be polite
"Mere liye kya laayi?" Sharanbir asked
"Just a small Udupi Krishna" Trisha said almost embarrassed
"Oh I know... I know... I know where she even bought from" Leela chimed
Trisha opened her bag and handed him a small box with a red cellophane wrapped idol, that looked like sandalwood but wasnt
"u like krishna?" he asked
She touched her pendant
"Oh yes" he nodded anda whispered a thanks as he unwrapped it
"You take your things inside" Mandira instructed her
She picked up everyone's and put Leela's in her room, hers in her own room and took his to his
He was stretched out on the bed on his laptop
"Is he done fawning over you?" he asked without looking up
"what is fawning?" she asked, clueless
He set his laptop down and got off the bed as she staggered back to the wall
"Ashwinnn" she warned "Dont lie to me... I have Google" she warned waving a finger
He was amused... everything she said was amusing to him
"why are you laughing?" she questioned
He bend down as she pushed him away, as she tried to nuzzle him, they played
the game for a few minutes enjoying touching each other, the intimacy long overdue after spending the whole day in travel
"was that the guy, ...the guy you dated?" he asked gruffly
She turned crimson
"You know?" she whispered
Desire hijacked her body making her a putty in his hands. She opened her mouth to the purposeful thrust of his tongue, welcoming it into the confines of her mouth
Tangling with it in a deer and predator game, shuddering, as desire whipped her body into waves of stinging pleasure
Like the steaming hot sea wave on a sunny Ullal summer afternoon, it was exhilarating to imagine how turned on he was by her... as much... more than she was by him
She cooed as if her veins was filled with bubbling champagne
He let his hand dip into her gurjari kurta and cupped her curve
Ashwinnn" she pressed her curve on his hand to stop the fondling...unsuccessfully.. "Trish" "trish" he repeated as if insisting she only remember this one way of being addressed
"I realized when he said your name like that" he said, kissing her again as if he wanted to rid himself of the memory of her name as sounded out by Jayadev.
she didnt have to ask if he hated the way Jayadev said her name... she knew
