Promised Love

37. Tum Tak

Next day.

Abhimanyu's POV

I wake up to the sound of an exceptionally loud car horn. Rubbing my eyes I shift to the side only to bump into a soft body next to me.

Just by the feel of having her in my arms first thing after waking up, I sigh in contentment. I wrap my arm around her waist and burry my face in her splayed out hair.

She is turned away from me and her even breathing tells me she is still fast asleep. So I start peppering kisses on her neck and on the side of her face to wake her up.

"Good morning, sleeping beauty." I mumble against her neck when she yawns and stretches her arms.

"Mmmm good morning." She moans groggily. I nip at her earlobe.

I push the blanket away, revealing the cotton t-shirt and yoga pants she is wearing. As I continue my assault on her neck, she traces my spine with her gentle hands.

"We should stop, what if mom and dad hear us." She utters. But she says one thing and does another, because a second later her mouth is on me. Hungry and demanding. I groan and climb on top of her and she immediately moans into my mouth in response.

"I love you." She says into my mouth and I smile against her lips.

Suddenly the sound of clattering of utensils reaches us and we both break apart at the speed of light.

"Crap!" I curse. I can't believe I have to be sneaky with my own wife. Saanvi chuckles and gets up.
I watch her as she goes into the bathroom leaving the door open behind her and starts brushing her teeth in my washroom.

"You know what I was thinking?" I start. She wiggles her eyebrows questioningly and washes her hands. I rise up from the bed, enter beside her and put paste on my own toothbrush.

"Let's get a house." Her movement halts at my words and she looks at me like I am joking.

"Are you serious?" She asks wiping her face with a hand towel.

I stand behind her. We both keep our eyes trained on our reflection in the mirror as I encircle my hands around her midsection.

"I don't want to be sneaking with my wife, for god's sake. I love my parents, but I could use the distance. Plus we won't go far, it'll be two hours away tops." I explain. With each word of mine her smile grows.

"Yeah...I'd like that. Having our own place, that'll be nice. But we have to be kind of close to my parent's house as well."

I squeeze her. "Obviously."

"So do you have any place in mind?" She asks.

I shrug. "I don't know...I was thinking maybe a villa complex. I mean I prefer independent houses and villas to apartments any day. But building a house would take very long and all the plots are very far from here..."

"Villa complex definitely." She nods seriously. "I love that idea."

I twirl her around so she is facing me. "Great then. I'm going to start looking. But we have to break the news to mom and dad as well."

"Yeah... let's see how that goes." She trails off. I am as unsure and anxious about breaking this to mom and dad as her. I have no idea how they are going to take this.

"But first, finish brushing. Your spitting toothpaste all over me." She giggles and ducks from under my arm.

I roll my eyes and spit into the washbasin. Suddenly mom knocks on the door. "Abhi! Abhi wake up! Saanvi is not in her room." She calls out from the other side of the door.
