Our Way Back

62. In each other's arms

A D V I K A

"Damn! Your apartment it bigger than it looks in the video calls dude!", Mansi exclaims.

All of them make themselves comfortable in the house after putting away their luggage.

"Why the hell do you have so many bags for just a week??", I ask them looking at the amount of luggage they had.

"Ask your dear lover and sister!", Rushi says rolling his eyes.

"Vishal why do you want your whole wardrobe with you?", I remove my heels and breath out a sigh of relief.

"Hey...it's not the whole wardrobe okay, what do you know?", He says.

"Oh please I know it very well", I shut him up.

We all went to change into comfortable clothes and freshen up.

We argued about who would occupy the bedrooms and who would take the couch. Vishal offered to the couch letting me and Mansi stay in one bedroom while Adnan Rushi took the other, but Mansi put up a fight that Vishal would stay with me in my room and she would take the couch. Vishal couldn't argue any further and shifted his luggage into my room for the week.
I had put on the heating in the house so that no one freezed.

I had taken my shower and was arranging my dressing table when Vishal emerged from the bathroom with a towel around his waist and started looking for his clothes from the 2 huge travel cases he had brought.

I shamelessly stared at him through the mirror in front of me. It was nothing that I hadn't seen before but still it's like you can never have enough of it.

"Enjoying the view?", Vishal asked me pulling the tshirt over his head.

"Nothing unique...", I reply in an uninterested tone.

I start pulling up my hair in a bun and he puts on his sweatpants.

"Is it? But still you were enjoying it seemed.", He said smirking.

He didn't know what I was and what I had become in the last few years! I wasn't gonna blush or hide my face due to such small things, if that's what he expected me to do.

I got up from my place and walked up to him. I held his tshirt in between my thumb and index finger and pulled him closer and went up on my toes. As I neared his face, my face changed the route and went towards his ear.

I so loved teasing him!!

"Nothing I haven't already seen!", I whisper in his ear seductively and pull away looking at his face. He stood their astonished and walk out of the room as if nothing happened.

We all sat in the living room talking and catching up with each other about the past months. Vishal joined me on the couch, so now he was sitting with me on one couch while Rushi and Mansi occupied the other and Adnan spread up on the bean bag.

I was tired after a long day so as Vishal sat on the couch I took the opportunity and laid across the couch laying my head along with the small pillow on his lap.

"How did you'll plan all of this?", I finally ask them.

"Your dear sister gave us the breaking news.", Vishal said and I looked at Mansi.

"You weren't supposed to bitch!", I widened my eyes at her.

"Then how would we make your birthday special! You should be thanking me and not cursing me", Mansi snapped back at me.

"But how did you contact these guys?", I ask her

"What do you take me to be huh? Obviously Rohit helped me, I am better at planning things than you!", She said proudly before I could give throw my comeback at her Rushi interrupted us, "Stop it yaar, we shouldn't have brought these two together you know, they are worse than us bickering", he states.

"Oh please, have you seen how you three fight like dogs, shouting and kicking each other!", I laugh at him.

"Oh Advika.... you're insulting dogs!", Mansi says and I high five her in the air as we're were out of each others hand reach.

"Women I tell you!", Adnan says dramatically rolling his eyes and the boys burst out laughing

We talk for some more time and Vishal keeps running his fingers through my hair. I don't realise when I drift off to sleep on the couch itself while talking.

I feel someone pick me up bridal style and carry me to the bedroom. I hadn't been in deep sleep so when he picked me up I knew it but didn't say anything as I was lazy to get up and walk to bed.

He gently placed me on the bed and got into the sheets beside me and whispered an 'I love you' giving me a peck on my cheek.
I turned to look at him and open my eyes.

"You were awake!", he said smiling shyly.

"Since you picked me up from the couch!", I say smirking.

"Lazy!"

"That I am!", I say and move closer to him and rest my arm around his waist and he pulls me closer putting one hand behind my head and the other around my waist.

Our faces were just inches apart from each other and we could feel each other's breath. Vishal wasn't very sure of making the first move since the evening, I had noticed and so even this time I leaned in connecting our lips.
The sync we established was smooth and slow paced. He held my face and I relaxed into his proximity. The sparks shooting in my body won't stop nor did the kiss! After quite a few moments we pulled back panting for air and starting laughing connecting out foreheads to each other's.

"Can't get enough of me?", I asked him raising my eyebrow and smirking at him

"Never can get enough of you", he kissed my forehead and we drifted off to sleep

This would probably the best sleep I have gotten in years! And more than that, the thought of waking up to him sleeping beside me was more peaceful!
