The Beats Of My Heart | Meri Dil Ki Dhadkan

134

Never did I think that we'd christen the studio with our naughtiness, and yet we've done it.

Who would've ever thought?

Well, technically, Payal did - in the end she had a point about bringing condoms. I always keep some in my bag anyways, so it really wasn't necessary for her to mention it, but it's not like she knew. Plus Arnav came prepared as well, so all good!

When morning came, I found Arnav laying beside me, still asleep. Looking around, I found everything else still as it was from last night, rose petals and fake snow covering certain parts of the floor. Light was peeking through from some of the windows, though through the cracks of the curtains. Arnav had made sure to draw everything and lock up the doors as well, keeping everything tight and secure - not that anyone ever came out here, but still.

After all, better safe than sorry.

Glancing down, I noticed that I have my dupatta over me, no doubt Arnav having placed it. Looking around, I spotted Arnav's shirt and picked it up, then put it on.

"You look amazing."

A smile instantly took over my face and I looked back at Arnav, finding him smiling at me. I laid back down beside him, placing my hand over his chest.

"Did you sleep well," I murmured, then placed a kiss on his chest.

"With you by my side? Always, wife."

Unable to help my grin, I reached up and kissed him softly. "Thank you for last night."

"You're welcome, baby. Just promise me you won't make me do that again."

I couldn't help but to roll my eyes as I chuckled. "Oh, always so dramatic! I can't make any promises but I will say that you won't be doing this for a long time to come."

"And I'll make sure that time never does."

"Hmm, we should head back. It's still very early, I doubt anyone would be awake by the time we got back."

"What's this wife? You want us to sneak in like we're some naughty teenagers," he grinned.

"Stop joking Arnav, I'm being serious. Imagine what anyone would think if they caught us coming in like this?"

"Well I would hope that you're never naked around anyone but myself," he frowned.

"Be serious," I said, rolling my eyes, though I couldn't help my grin.

"I am quite serious - no one else is allowed to see you like this but me."

A thought quickly flashed in my mind and I immediately looked down. "Viren has," I nearly whispered.

"Hey...."

Arnav moved over me, caressing my cheek.

"He's gone," Arnav said softly. "He'll never bother us again."

I placed my hand over his. "I'm sorry-"

"Hush, don't baby... don't."

He covered my lips with his, calming me down.

"Don't let him ruin this moment," he murmured.

"You're right; we're happy, we just had a wonderful night, I won't let anything ruin it."

"There's my brave wife," and he placed a kiss on my cheek. "I love you."

"I love you, too, Arnav. So, shall we start getting ready so that we can sneak back into the house?"

"Sure," he smiled, and he helped me up.

*~*

Once we were ready and looked okay, we got into Arnav's car, which was parked outside, and headed home. Like I thought, no one had awakened yet when we reached home, so we were easily able to quietly sneak up upstairs and get into our room.
