24. A Talk Over The Door

My meow, this chapter is exclusively dedicated for you. 

The beaming rays across the room through blinds somehow hit Aradhana's face, breaking her slumber. Rudra's protective arms wrapped her waist and his chin placed over her head made Aradhana feel so good. 

Visualizing Rudra's handsome face, Aradhana was awestruck for a moment. She closed her eyes and mentally sketch her plan 'Long weekend is here. So is my pampering. First, I will put my wax to heat in microwave. By the time it's hot, I will be done with my brush and threading along with my morning tea. I will prepare some for Rudra as well. Pedicure. Waxing. Manicure. That sounds so awesome. Bubble bathe, too. It makes my whole plan so perfect'

Aradhana mentally patted her back. Without breaking Rudra's slumber, Aradhana slipped out of his arms lock. It looks more handsome than I visualized, Aradhana thought looking at his face . She quickly placed a soft peck on his cheeks. Aradhana got into some action. It has already been more than an hour. 

Rudra woke up with an urgency. The moment Rudra tried unlatching the knob of the bathroom, he realized it's locked. 'Aradhana. What are you doing?' Rudra questioned her as he took a big yawn. 'Me. I am practicing for scuba diving.' Aradhana had a hilarious answer to his question, making Rudra wonder 'What did she just say? Scuba diving in bathroom.'

'Whatever it is. Just come out as soon as possible' Rudra roared this time when he heard her 'Ouch' 'Are you okay?' Rudra sounds concerned, little did he know she took off last strip, completing her waxing. 'Fifteen minutes Rudra. I need the bathroom after that. You have be quick. Because I am yet to bathe' Her words sufficed to make Rudra wide awake. 'You are yet to bathe? What are you even doing inside?' Rudra is completely astonished. Focussing on her manicure, Aradhana requested 'Ten minutes please' 'It's nature's call. I just can't hold it more. You just come outside right now. Please understand' Rudra argued with her over the door.

Few minutes later, Aradhana announced 'I am done with manicure. I am coming outside. Be quick today' Her words halted Rudra's parade. Rudra quickly grabbed towel and clothes while Aradhana set up her bubbles in bathtub. Wrapping towel over her torso which showed good amount of her cleavage, Aradhana stepped outside the bathroom. Rudra hurriedly rushed in the bathroom that he failed to notice an absolutely hot and sexy figure who just walked out of the restroom. His actions was so quick that Aradhana failed to notice, he took his stuffs along.

In a fraction, they switched their places. Ten minutes later, Aradhana was tired of waiting. She knocked at the door 'Rudra, come out. I can't stay like this for too much. What's taking so long?' Rudra gargled as he finished brushing his teeth. 'Done with brushing. I will bathe and come' Rudra answered her question innocently. 'You are such a cheater, Rudra.' Aradhana banged the door with her palms, hurting herself. 'Aah. Ouch.' Aradhana winced in pain. 'Stop hurting yourself, Aru' Rudra faked concerned as he enjoyed being on this side of the door. Rudra slide away the shower curtain and exclaimed 'Oh. That's so sweet of you, Aradhana. Bubble bathe for me' 'Hey. Don't you spoil my bubble set up in bathtub' Aradhana sounds furious. 'How will I bathe then?' Rudra's talk was interrupted by the doorbell.

'Go. Open the door' Rudra suggested Aradhana. 'Excuse me?' Aradhana raised her brows. 'Someone is at the doorstep. Aradhana, please open the door' Rudra requested her this time. 'Idiot, how am I supposed to open the door?' Aradhana tried turning the knob, hoping the door of the bathroom is unlocked. 'Aru, you have to open apartment's door not bathroom's' Rudra chuckled, playing with the bubbles. He is definitely having gala time with bubbles. 'Don't you act smart. I need my clothes' Aradhana was annoyed. 'Why?' Rudra blew a bubble over his palms. 'Because I am in towel. I will open the apartment's door only if you want me to seduce the person waiting at other side' Rudra's eyes popped out as he listened to Aradhana and second doorbell.

In a hurry, Rudra took her clothes which accidentally fell on wet floor of the bathroom. 'Aradhana.' Rudra squeezed his eyes. 'Now what, Rudra?' Aradhana folded her arms across her chest. 'Your clothes fell on wet floor' Rudra lowered his head. 'You are useless. Anyways, I am going to open the door' Aradhana wasn't in mood to argue to Rudra. 'Wait.' Rudra lent his shirt and asked 'Wear this. I had wore this previous night. It's decent enough to cover yourself' Rudra was apologetic for his act. 

Aradhana felt shy and hesitant to ask Rudra pass out her personal wear. Nevertheless, Aradhana wore his shirt which was too long and loose for her. She could feel his cologne lingering with her body. Rudra, on the other hand thought 'I will be always late to the office if she ever become Mrs. Rajput. Fuck Rudra, what are you even thinking?' Rudra got to back to play with bubbles while Aradhana opened the door as it's third time bell rung. It seems, the person at the other end is pissed off, a real bad.

Rudra's eagerness be like 

Oooops ! Did he forgot to notice gorgeous lady stepping out of restroom? 

What if the person at door fall head over heels with this beauty?
