Married to you ✔

29• My heart is you

A week later

I stared upward into the dark night sky which was filled with stars. The atmosphere was chilling and the cool night breeze passed by tickling my face. I let out a deep sigh.

I couldn't believe that my Daadi was no more in this world. The whole week my maternal house had been filled with relatives, giving their sympathy and condolence. Unlike my parents, I cried in private, for I had to strengthen them.

Right then I felt his warm hands crawl around my waist. I breathed out slowly, melting in his arms instantly.

"Manik when did you come back from office?" I asked.

"Just a while ago." He said, softly as he dropped a kiss on my hair. "I am sorry." He whispered and I couldn't comprehend what that sorry was for?

"Why are you sorry?" I asked as I turned towards him. I met his gaze which were fixed on me.

"I couldn't get your favorite ice cream." He said, sighing.

I looked at the side to see a huge tub of chocolate ice cream on the small sofa.
I laughed softly. "You were sorry for that."

He nodded his head like a kid and I couldn't help but laugh.

I noticed his lips curving into a huge smile as I laughed. I stopped laughing and smiled, looking at him. "You know, I love the taste of something else more than my chocolate chocochip ice cream." I said.

"What is it?" He asked, tilting his head slightly.

"Come a bit closer then I will tell you." I said and he immediately bend towards me, curiosity written all over his face.

I leaned closer and kissed him ever so softly. He responded back almost instantly and I couldn't help but smile. He pulled me closer and I knit my fingers in his hair as we deepened the kiss.

That moment the time stopped for me and nothing around me mattered except for his lips that moulded perfectly against mine. It was a moment so perfect, a moment that I would want to live forever.

We pulled away, panting. "What was that for?" He breathed out.

"I love the taste of your lips more than my chocolate chocochip ice cream." I said as I deliberately bit my lips.

I saw his lips curve into a big smile and I tell you at that moment nothing else mattered. "I love it when you smile, it's cute." I said, smilingly. I knew I had been blushing profusely as I said this.

He pecked my lips lightly as he smiled wider. "Let's have our ice cream." He said as he slowly let go of my waist and held my hand.

We sat on the small couch in the balcony and grabbed our spoon. I took a bite of the ice cream and moaned happily as it melted in my mouth.

"You liked it?" He asked as he took a bite of it too.

"I like everything when you are around." I looked at him as I took one more bite.

"Someone really seems to be in mood today." He said, smilingly.

I just couldn't stop myself from staring at his face and he stared back for a while. "What is it?" He said.

"I love you Manik." I finally voiced out my feeling. "I realized life is too unpredictable and now I don't want to hold it back."

"But still you should have considered my feelings. I wanted to express my heart first." He said with a poker face. "You ruined it all."

"Then you can say it now." I said, trying to suppress my smile but I failed miserably.

"I-I would have said it if it was that easy to say." He abruptly turned his face to the other side. Gosh I just saw the monster blush.

"Okay then I will wait for you to confess." This time I said with a poker face. I seriously wanted to hear those three magical words from his mouth. Huff.

I saw him glance at me through the side of his eyes before he turned his gaze to the stars. "Tell me honestly do you want to hear it from me right now?"

"Yes, I want to." I said, over enthusiastically as I waggled my head.

"You are being too straightforward." He said with a poker face. His eyes had been fix to the stars. I couldn't stop admiring him. I pecked his cheeks lightly.

He looked at me."At this rate I might end up doing something to you."

"Then do it. I won't stop you." I said, leaning closer to him. He too leaned closer to me and rubbed his nose against mine. "You are being too naughty today."

"Then won't you punish this naughty girl?" I said, looking right in his eyes with a mischievous smile lingering on my lips.

"The pleasure is mine." He said in an equally mischievous tone before pressing his lips against mine.

But he pulled away the very next moment and I made a bad face. But before I could complain, he pulled me on his lap and he didn't even give me a second to register his action as he slammed his lips demandingly against mine.

I closed my eyes, feeling his warm soft lips against mine. The kiss turned more passionate and sizzling as our lips moved demandingly against one another. At one point his hands made it's way inside my loose T-shirt and his touch against my bare back only added fuel to my burning desires.

We pulled away, panting heavily. He touched his forehead with mine and softly whispered, "My heart is you."

"And I love you too." I said in a mocking way.

I knew he wanted to tease me. So he had intentionally been holding back those three magical words, which I longed to hear from him. After all once a monster, always a monster.
