Chapter 27

Hello! Here's a cute little chapter, a quick update before I go away on a trip. It's not very eventful but I didn't want to keep you waiting much longer. Thanks for reading!

Chapter 27

"Did they forget about us?" Deepika wondered a few minutes later. Whoever knocked on the door went away after Ranveer asked them to wait because they were not yet ready.

"We should go..." He said half joking, getting up from where he was sitting on the massage table.

"No! Let's wait another minute." She insisted and he saw her fixing the towel covering her upper body. Said towel was smaller than the one covering her hips and legs; she was too exposed for his liking.

"Are you cold?" He asked and she shook her head. She rarely complained about rooms being cold but he still asked. She said she wasn't cold and he didn't really care for her answer. He grabbed the towel on his table, unfolded it and covered her upper half with it.

"I'm not cold!" She exclaimed as he smoothed the towel over her.

"It's cold in here, I don't want you to get sick." He argued and she gave him a look. She knew that was not the reason why he covered her with his towel.

"Ranveer..." She said his name with the same tone she uses for Ria when she misbehaves.

And he kissed her so she couldn't say anything else. And she smiled against his lips, not being able to get upset. And just then they heard a knock again and the door opened.

He turned immediately, impatient to see who entered the room.

"Told you..." Deepika whispered when two women entered the room, the guy nowhere to be seen. Ranveer smiled at her and walked back to his table.

"Enjoy your massage." He told his wife and couldn't help but chuckle when the masseuse looked at her furrowing her brow, probably wondering why she was covered from neck to toe.

His own masseuse also wondered why he did not have a towel. It was of utmost importance for them to respect their clients privacy. She was about to go in search of a towel for him when her colleague handed her the extra towel her client was using. That after said client said it was her husband's and that she didn't need it.

He struggled not to laugh at the confusion he created and laid down on his table, his wife holding back giggles as well as she watched him with amusement.

Soon he felt the masseuse's hands on his head, massaging his scalp and he couldn't help closing his eyes and relaxing in her hands. Deepika closed her eyes as well. She was laying on her side, so she could take a peek of him every once in a while. She felt thankful that the guy didn't end up being their masseur, otherwise Ranveer wouldn't have been able to relax and enjoy the experience.

...

Several minutes later...

"That feels good..."

Ranveer's eyes shot open.

"Yeah, there..."

He didn't realize he fell asleep halfway through the massage and for a moment he was confused as to where he was because of how Deepika sounded. He turned his head to look at her, she was clearly enjoying what the lady was doing to her back.

"Mmm..." She purred.

"Deepu!" He whispered trying not to get the masseuses attention and Deepika opened her yes. "Shhh..."

What? Deepika asked without words, it was the frown on her face that said it. She didn't fall asleep but was half conscious and too relaxed, to the point she didn't realize she was verbalizing her thoughts.

Ranveer did fall asleep and his sleepy brain was thinking... things. Things that were based on previous experiences.

"You're disturbing my sleep." He argued and she made a face again, to preoccupied with her massage to pay attention to what he was saying.

The hour flew by and Ranveer, who wasn't very thrilled at the beginning, was now wondering why they didn't book at least a 90-minute massage instead of just one short hour. Sixty minutes were clearly not enough!

"I feel rejuvenated!" He said with enthusiasm as they returned to their suite.

"See! And you wanted to leave." Deepika said making fun of him.

"How is your back now?" He asked instead, not wanting to talk about his dislike for male massage providers.

"Much better. I wish I could take that lady home with me." She joked.

It wasn't a bad idea, Ranveer thought. He would also love to get a massage like that one more often. "Maybe I can learn." He said jokingly and again, he thought it would be a good idea if they both did and they could massage each other...

"Aw, you're so sweet baby." Deepika said squeezing his hand. "But I think these people need to study and get certified to give prenatal massages."

"I don't need to get certified if I'm only going to massage you." He reasoned and Deepika chuckled.

"By the time you're done studying, I'm going to have given birth already." She argued.

"I'm a fast learner! Besides, this is only our second child. I'll be an expert next year for number three." He joked, loving her reaction to his comment.

"Next year already? Oy... Give me a break." She quickly retorted, equally amused.

He laughed and let go of her hand to hook his right arm around her shoulders, bringing her closer to him as they walked back to their suite. She wrapped her left arm around his waist, feeling happy and relaxed. On their way back they noticed a few beach beds by the ocean and they looked at each other, both thinking it seemed more exciting to hang out there, enjoying the nice ocean breeze and the sound of the waves rather than in their hotel room.

"Where are your parents?" Ria's cousin, Sami, asked. Sami and her family were visiting Dada and Dadi and she noticed Ria was there but not her parents.

"They work. I stay with dada and dadi." Ria explained.

"Oh... Your mom have the baby already?"

"No." Ri sighed. Why did it take so long?! She couldn't wait to meet her little baby brother.

"I stayed here with dadi when my sister was born. My mumma and papa came back with the baby. Maybe your parents come back with the baby." Sami said and Ria's eyes grew big. Could it be possible? They said they had to leave because of work!

"No, Sami! Mummy say the baby is small and not ready!" Ri argued.

Sami shrugged. She really thought Ria's parents went away to the hospital, just like hers.

A confused Ria frowned, she didn't think her parents lied but if Sami was right that would mean she will finally get to meet her baby brother!

Ria wanted to ask if this was true but the adults were busy talking. Sami had other plans. "Show me your toys." She said grabbing Ria's hand. Ri had previously told her she had brought some new toys her papa bought for her and Sami wanted to play. They were in her bag in dadi's bedroom and they rushed there. Ri wanted to find out about her baby brother but she wanted to play too.
