16. At the door of love!

Hello family!
I am back finally. Waiting for all your love and comments! Enjoy!

~Love is always at your door, you just need to put in the right key~

Manik Malhotra, in his twenty seven years of life, had never been more embarrassed, and Nandini Manik Malhotra had never been more amused, as they were now, driving back home, after the hearty dinner at her Appa's place. Neelesh Murthy had left no stone unturned to tease The couple, and while it had only made Nandini laugh crazily, Manik had felt utterly shy at his comments and winks. Her Appa was so proud of his decision to get them married, watching these happy content expressions on their faces, and he didn't even hold back taunting both of them, since both of them had denied the proposal at first. And now, Nandini was still laughing at Manik's expense, while he sat, rolling his lips in, trying his best to concentrate only on driving.

" I won't be able to keep her happy, blah blah blah", Neelesh Murthy had poked his tongue out at Manik, who had immediately lowered his head, biting his smile away. And the memory of his mentor, making faces like a little kid, teasing the hell out of him, made him smile all the way back, along with Nandini, who just somehow could not stop laughing.

Opening up the main lock, Nandini entered first, followed by Manik, and she immediately sprawled up on the couch, holding her stomach. It was paining her, the unnerving continuous laughter, and Manik's Expressions were not at all helping.

" I can't believe you felt so shy Manik!", Nandini chuckled, as Manik settled down beside her, sipping on some water.

" What was I supposed to do if your father, who is also my mentor, asks you how I have been in bed?", He puffed his cheeks, and didn't look at her as he snapped cutely, but it only made Nandini laugh more.

It was true, her Appa was not exactly like every other father, but she knew that he had been trying to fill her mother's role too, and also, she was habituated of his baseless tease and weird questions. With Manik, all these years he had been a professional teacher, and he was new to this comedy and humour side of her Appa.

" Stop laughing Nandini!", He pleaded, but Nandini didn't listen, and continued to giggle, while she made her way up the couch and towards the room, but a pull on her hand, abruptly made her turn and land directly on him.

Manik saw her eyes getting wide, and cheeks getting red, as she struggled to move up, but he caged her in his arms, as his right hand traversed through her left cheek bone, sensually tucking her loose strands beneath her ears.

" Let's do something so that to have an answer to your Appa the next time, no?", he rubbed his nose all over her cheeks, and could see her breathing getting heavier. Nandini had no control over her reaction. Having him that close, plus his scent, always drove her mad.

" Manik!", The voice almost sounded like a moan, and it only did break the control he was holding on to, as his lips started to worship the exposed area of her neck, and face. The sexual tension between both of them, was extremely palpable, as Nandini could find herself responding to every touch of his. His hands roaming on her bare waist, was giving her goosebumps.

Nandini, involuntarily, moved her hand to the nape of his neck, and slightly tugged his hairs, feeling his lips on her collarbone, and that, broke his trance. He came back to his senses, abruptly opening his eyes, and sighed, before leaning in to kiss her forehead, before dropping his forehead on hers.

" You should go change!", He bit his lip, when he saw a naughty smirk forming on her lips, but she refrained from speaking, lest it would embarrass him more and made her way to the room. She loved these small adventures of them, and didn't wanna loose this opportunity to be close to him. She still wasn't sure if all these that she felt for him, was love, but she knew she loved being around him, at the least.
