I Need You To Be There... For a little more than Always!!

Part 83:

After about two hours of sound sleeping, Manik was woken up feeling a soft pair of lips over his forehead. The heavenly scent of those long traces in his face made him come to his scenes as he felt those kisses trail downwards to both of his eyes and then to his cheeks.

He kept his eyes closed as his arms moved forward gripping her waist as he felt her moving towards his lips.

Manik felt her smile against his lips as she bit his lower lip and murmured over his lips,

Nandini: Time to wake up Mr. Malhotra!

And before he knew she was out of his arms, standing up beside the bed with a smirk on her face.

Manik: Nandini.... That was torture! U can't do that

Manik whined with a groan.

Nandini chuckled at him as she turned around towards the couch and opened up a suitcase which Manik realised was his.

Nandini: I can..... And now that u r up, freshen up fast coz its almost time for lunch everyone will be waiting for us.

Manik made a grumpy face as he got up from the bed and moved towards her taking her in a back hug.

Manik: Do we really hv to go?

Nandini: Unfortunately Yes, coz apparently u hv a really formal conversation with Amms after the lunch. Followed by another one with Rishab and Abhi....

Manik looked at her in confusion as he said,

Manik: Why do I hv a feeling that this is gonna be scary?

Nandini: Maybe it will....

Nandini said softly before getting out of his hold and turning to face him properly.

Nandini: But I know u'll handle them.... Now go and freshen up!

She said handing him over the towel as she pushed him towards the washroom.

Manik smiled at her reply as he turned around towards the washroom. A few minutes later, he was back into the room to see Nandini sitting on the couch using her phone waiting for him, it was then that he noticed her wearing a quite comfortable outfit, which was black pyjama pants and a loose warm T-shirt almost reaching her thighs. He smiled at her cuteness and noticed that she had let out an equally comfortable outfit for him on the bed. Manik changed quickly and motioned for her hand.

Manik: Shall we??

Nandini looked up smiling at him as she held his hand only to be pulled closer against him as he wrapped his arm around her waist making her chuckle as they walked out. They got out of the Villa walking towards the Moorthy Mansion, when Nandini said,

Nandini: Nice story by the way!!

Manik looked at her confused when she handed him over his phone.

Nandini: I didn't know that we hv known each other for 6 years....

Realisation drew into his eyes as he stopped and looked down at her.

Manik: Nandini.... I... I m sry we didn't get to discuss this through and I just went out and announced it.... I-

Nandini: Manik... Its ohk! And moreover it was much believable and didn't give off much so I m fine with it...

Manik smiled broadly at her and started walking again. When he asked,

Manik: How did u get to know anyways??

Nandini: Hmn.. Lets just say, it has been years since I hv woken up to find thousands of notifications on my phone.
