The Ruined Rainbow

CHAPTER 50

Ayesha

Saturday dawned out bright and clear. The sky almost greeted us with its pleasantness and warmth. Perhaps, symbolising the day ahead. If that's how the day is going to be, then I am all eyes and ears.

That morning, again, I woke up quite early, at around half past five. I half thought of taking a cab to my house to pack the clothes for two days. I also had to bathe.

But I decided against it.

Because 1) The devil beside me wouldn't allow that and 2) I didn't actually want to step out of the warmth I was experiencing right now.

Yeah, Sahil had his hands around my waist again, tighter if possible, and head snuggled to the crook of my neck. His wavy and silky long hairs all messed up.
Well, I am not a fan of messy things because I can never be a messy girl (I hope), but if messy things include messy hairs of my love, I am wholly messy.

Ha.

Looking at him, I felt that fire in my heart kindle again. The desire to kiss his lips arose again, fiercer than ever. But I silenced it with a lot of will power.

Sahil had said that it would be best if we left by seven in the morning because we could have the whole day for ourselves and can enjoy it much better.

Lonavala wasn't that far either; it was a mere two-hour journey from Mumbai and maximum could be delayed by a half-hour.

So, I shook Sahil, and he shrugged, mumbling excuses and keeping his head on the neck. Well, it did keep me warm.
Actually, it is not that cold out here, but Sahil had this crazy fantasy.

He decided that he was going to keep the temperature of the Air Conditioner the lowest and cover both of us with a warm duvet so that we could feel warm.

Though I did feel the original idea was something else, and I was getting a hundred per cent confirmation smell from Sahil, right now.

Well, who am I to complain?
(When I am equally enjoying it!)

Ha.

"Sahil, " I shook his hand but no reply, so as no other option left, and feeling slightly happy, I pecked his cheek.
That did the trick because a sleepy smile appeared in his face, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"I could have done that earlier, " I wondered to myself as Sahil sat upright, his back resting in the headboard and stretching himself.

"You could have. But I would have suggested a much better place to do so, " Sahil said carelessly, and I widened my eyes in shock, realising that I said that aloud.

Smiling at my flushed face, he went through some messages on his mobile.

"Hey! We have to get ready. " I said indignantly.

"Sure, but you do know where the bathroom is, right?" He asked, confused.

"I do, but what about my clothes? "

"Oh! " he said, comprehension drawing in his face, "I totally forgot. Come."

I followed him out of the room, and I was about to suggest that we leave after a cup of coffee, when he stopped outside the guest room.
