My Solace [Smriti & Perry]

Goa

Smriti and Perry filled with excitement and anticipation, embarked on their very first trip to Goa. With hearts brimming with love and spirits high, they set out to explore every corner of this enchanting coastal paradise, eager to create unforgettable memories together.

"Lets go and have the best time of our life time" said Pez gleefully
Smriti just looked at Pez and smiled looking at her excitement.

Their journey began with a scenic drive along the winding roads of Goa, surrounded by lush greenery and swaying palms. As they arrived at their quaint beachfront villa, the gentle sound of waves crashing against the shore welcomed them, setting the perfect backdrop for their romantic getaway.

"Let's just rest today and tomorrow we can explore Goa" said Smriti as it was late and she could see Perry was exhausted but would not admit it.

They separated and went towards their respected rooms.

Their days in Goa were filled with adventure and discovery. Smriti and Perry started their mornings with leisurely strolls along the pristine beaches, hand in hand, as they watched the sunrise paint the sky in vibrant hues of orange and pink. They would then indulge in delicious breakfasts at charming seaside cafes, feasting on fresh fruit, fluffy pancakes, and aromatic coffee.

Eager to immerse themselves in the local culture, Smriti and Perry set out to explore the vibrant markets and bustling streets of Goa's coastal towns. They wandered through colorful bazaars, admiring handcrafted souvenirs and striking up conversations with friendly vendors. Together, they sampled street food delights like crispy Goan samosas, spicy fish curry, and mouthwatering coconut desserts, savoring each bite with joy.

But their exploration didn't stop at the surface. Smriti and Perry were eager to delve deeper into the rich history and heritage of Goa. They visited ancient temples and majestic forts, marveling at the intricate architecture and learning about the storied past of each landmark. From the awe-inspiring ruins of Chapora Fort to the serene beauty of Mangueshi Temple, they were captivated by the magic of Goa's cultural tapestry.

Venturing further inland, Smriti and Perry discovered hidden gems tucked away in the lush countryside. They embarked on scenic hikes through verdant jungles, following winding trails that led to breathtaking waterfalls and secluded lagoons. In these tranquil settings, they found solace in each other's company, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the melody of birdsong.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in shades of gold and crimson, Smriti and Perry would often find themselves lost in the moment, sharing stories and dreams beneath the canopy of stars. They danced barefoot on the sand, their laughter mingling with the gentle rhythm of the waves, as they celebrated their love and the adventure of a lifetime.

But amidst the romance and excitement, Smriti and Perry also cherished moments of quiet intimacy. They would steal away to secluded corners of their villa, where they would cuddle beneath soft blankets, lost in the warmth of each other's embrace, as they watched the moon rise over the shimmering sea.

As their time in Goa drew to a close, Smriti and Perry knew that they had experienced something truly magical. They had explored every corner of this beautiful state, discovering not only its natural wonders and cultural treasures but also the depth of their care and connection with each other.

Smriti's POV

" I an so happy that i could enjoy this moment of solitude with you. In our hustled lives you are my safe space . You are my solace. I said truthfully pouring her emotions into it.

"you literally made me believe that second chances exists Mandy. So i grateful for that " Perry said smiling.

I just smiled at that and said
"Ok enough of these emotional talk pack your bags and let's move to the next destination. That is one and only Rajasthan." Perry instantly jumped in excitement

" i am so ready for it especially because its with you" she admitted boldly.

Smriti who was initially shocked replied
" um Pez can i ask you a something?"

"Yea" she replied

"Have you prepared any sort of wish list? Um i coincidentally heard your talk the other day where you mentioned about it."

"Yea i have and no problem i can talk loud when i am really excited" she said with a chuckle making me smile. Damn the amount of times i have smiled in couple of days i am surprised how my mouth has not bursted open.

" could you share it with me.( she looked perplexed) only if you are comfortable. I just want to help you fullfill it."

"Ok only because i trust you. Don't break it ok i really want this thing to work out" she said pointing between us

"Yea i too want things to work out so yes i promise i will never break your trust but you have to promise me same" i asked her points my pinky finger. She chuckled and hooked her finger with mine and promised.

" by the way i didn't knew that The Icy Queen would make pinky promises." She said teasingly

" its like Vami's and my thing so it kinda stuck with me i guess" i replied awkwardly while rubbing my neck but she just shook her head and said
" you are such a softi" i glared at her
"No, I gave a reputation to maintain so don't tell anyone ok. It's our little secret."
She was full on laughing at me now and then she pinched my cheeks making me blush.
Oh god she got one more thing to tease me for. I then thought of taking my chance and pulled her towards me making her chest collide with my chest.

I looked at her and pecked her cheeks then her eyes, then her nose,her heart started beating fast. My  lips hovering just above hers. I thought that Now someone will interrupt us but no one did. I looked in my eyes asking for the permission,she blushed and blinked her eyes, I leaned closer, my left hand wrapped around her waist securely, and right hand caressing her cheeks. Her hands reached to my neck, and intertwined in my soft and silky hairs.
Chilled breeze hitting us, I felt goose bumps feeling the sensation. I started Breathing heavily and leaned in closer, my lips just above hers, and within a moment my lips were on hers. Our lips met, and we melted in a slow and passionate kiss. We Kissed untill we Both were out of breath. We pulled out to catch our breaths, we collided our foreheads with each other's. She was Breathing heavily, when I cupped her face in my palm and said,
"Breathe Jaan breathe"

And like this on good note they bid farewell to Goa, their hearts were filled with gratitude for the memories they had created together, and the promise of many more adventures yet to come.
