'A good night sleep', Akshay never experienced it for a long time. He struggled to sleep for years. Most of the time he can't sleep more than 4 hours, some times he can't sleep till 4 in the morning. Today he slept really well and his body is very relaxed. All credit goes to this wonderful woman who is still sleeping besides him.

Her chest is rising and falling in steady rhythm. Smita is sleeping with open mouth. Akshay placed his hand on her chin and closed her mouth. She returned to her previous pose within minutes. He finds it cute. He caressed her hairs and she liked his touch. Her body moved towards him. He pulled her towards him and secured her between in his arms. His eyes fix on her swollen lips and memories of last night refreshed in his mind.

A smile came on his face immediately which is usual nowadays. Subtle movement of hers awake the desire in him and he doesn't mind repeating the act.
He slide inside the blanket and his eyes noticed his marks on her body. She looks extremely beautiful in her naked glory and he wondered why she is so conscious about her appearance. Attraction worked at first stage later other things also matters. He passed that first stage long time ago. He is into her more than she thinks. She brings comfort, peace and pleasure in his life which none did  till now . She just need to say once and things will be done as per her wishes. Problem is she rarely asks for anything. She is content with life, he is not angry with that but...

He felt her movements, she is waking up. A yawn escaped from her mouth. she stretched her hands, soon realized her naked self and cover herself with the sheets.

"Good morning "he said with warm smile.

" Good morning "she rubbed her eyes and looked towards him." You are smiling"she is surprised with the development.

"Yes." he reply with same smile. He knew she won't believe and blink her eyes. He moved towards the head rest of bed and lean on it.

"but you rarely do that" she mumbled to herself and he listened. He gesture her to come close. She searched  clues of joke but there isn't any. She took baby steps towards him and he make her sit between his legs.

"Akshay its your personal space"

"Our space" he corrected her and pull her closer to him. Her back is facing his chest. He placed his chin on crook of  her neck. His hands were on her waist.

"how's last night? " he whispered in her ear.

"Good" he noticed her curled toes and he can give guarantee of blush on her face.

"Am I good?

" Ya"

"in bed?

" ya"

"Are you satisfied?"

"Ya" with each question her voice turn low pitch and this time its faint whisper.

"I am not on birth control." after several minutes she spoke.

"Not a matter of worry. I am glad you expressed your concern."

"I did blunder in Akshita's time. I snatched your right to decide whether you want to be father or not." guilt is present in her voice.

"Don't regret that. Akshita is best decision of your life. Earlier I didn't have anything to  look forward. I have everything but I don't have peace of mind. I was burning with anger and frustration. I was angry with life, now I am not , I have my guiding light. "

" I am so happy today. "Smita chirped and tried to move away.

" I know, till now you have made thousands of plans to celebrate "her smile dropped." Stay with me for some more time. "he concluded and she remained as such. He hummed few lines and she closed her eyes. Her attention fully on the melodious song and his is on her.

" Smita

"Hmm

" I need to tell you something. "

" I am listening. "she said, still in the hangover of  song. She is repeating it mentally. Akshay was nervous but he decided to go with flow. He will tell her things which he wanted to tell from a long time.

"There is a phrase 'To love and to be loved is best thing in the world'. Those were mere words for me. I never believed that but things changed after you arrived." he clasped his hand with hers and kissed her hand.

"You introduce love to me before that I am unaware of it. You evoked warm feelings in my heart which is ice cold before. You know, my eyes used to search you, my ears used to try to hear your giggles whenever I came home." he recalled their time spent together.

" Do you know why I love your smile the most?" he asked. She opened her mouth to say something but words stuck midway.

"You were the first person who welcomed me with a smile. My presence never disgusted you. You used to talk so many things with enthusiasm. At that time shine in your eyes and smile on your face is incredible to watch. I don't know what you had  talk but I still remember the events . "his hand were roaming softly on her skin and she is listening everything patiently.

" You know my favourite food? "

" Ghevar(sweet dish) and that too homemade. "she whispered

" It was not. I lied to you so you stop bothering me but you did unexpected. You tried to make it everyday. After each failing attempt there is sadness on your face and I regret for my lie. You cook, fail then feed it to animals. On the day fifteen you succeed and I took sigh of relief. I ate whole plate alone and you wondered how I did that. Truth is my stomach was full that night. I had dinner with my client but when I saw you made it, I can't stop myself from eating, I can't share this with anyone. You were the first person who did this kind of efforts for me. There are many firsts you did for me. I never realised when I fell in love with you "

He listened whimpers of her " It took seven years to hear this from you."she murmurs and he turns her to face him. She didn't look him. Tears were flowing from her eyes. The three words he expected came from her mouth" I hate you, I hate you, I hate you."

" Smita..

" You ,dominate alpha male,I hate you." she start hitting his chest. "You kept me waiting for years. You played with my heart. You gave me mixed signal. You, cruel, stupid, grumpy, lier, ... "many curse words came from her mouth. He holds her hand and hugged her tightly. He listens everything she muttered." but still I love you. I love you so much that it hurts me. "
