Just the two of us

The darkness around the space was astonishingly certain that the light which shone by the stars and the moon reflected throughout the small room. The room in a tiny yet cozy little appartment which was been rented a year before in Hyderabad. Mr and Mrs Kapoor living here and together working meticulously in a big analytical company as an analyst. They both decided to take a break as it was a weekend and were enjoying themselves in each other's company.
They both have mutual feelings for each other but yet haven't confessed it. Ram wanted to do it as quickly as possible but decided to wait for a while and requested her to watch the film with her to which she reluctantly agreed.
Priya shivered and curled inwards, rubbing the backs of her arms with the opposite hand. She bit her lip as the chill during the winter as well as the AC was hitting her bare hands and anticipation worked their way simultaneously up her spine and she eyed her husband in the dark.
Ram was still staring at the screen, watching the credits of the film doctor strange as the last few names scroll upwards  from nothing and disappearing into just as much darkness. He was waiting in anticipation for the film. The faint leftover light illuminated his long blonde lashes and she wondered how on earth it was fair for a man to be so beautiful. He was tall and thick with broad shoulders that make me go crazy about him , his broad chest along with his breathing seems like always raging out like a beast. He worked out, for sure, but also ate like a bull when they we're out to dinner, devouring everything on his plate and sneaking fries off of hers. The heavy muscles in his arms were enough to drive her insane and she had spent more than half of the movie with her arm pressed against his, accidentally on purpose sharing the same armrest. She could feel how firm he was, how warm, even through the layers of clothing between them, and the thought was so distracting, that she had nearly missed the half of the scenes in the movie. Not that she had paid much attention to the rest of it.
Her mind was a mess, playing over every single moment of their dinner before the movie, wondering if she had said the right things, smiled at the right moments, laughed when called for. She already knew she’d messed up royally when she swallowed her Coke too fast and burped like a monster right in front of him. Her cheeks had burned hot and embarrassment had sunk deep down her stomach. He hadn’t mentioned anything; he just smiled politely with those gorgeous, plump lips and went back to his dinner.
Oh, if only she wasn’t so disgusting, maybe she’d have a chance with him. If she wore more makeup, knew how to do her hair properly, dressed better. Maybe if she were just a little bit prettier, a little thinner, a little… Ah, what did it matter? Ram was too perfect for her, too handsome, way too out of her league.
Ram ran his hands down his thighs again, he ran his fingers on his forehead to wipe it discretely trying to wick away the sweat from his palms before he had to touch her again. Even in the cold theater, he was sweating. There was just something about her that made him more anxious than he had been in forever.
Priya was short and perfectly thick, with curves in all the right places; curves that he wanted to sink his teeth into. Her dressing sense is always the same throughout the working days. But apart from this Ram never left a stone to admire her. Her hair was pulled back in a simple ponytail and hung down her back in natural ashen ringlets and her eyes, unmasked by color or synthetic lashes, shone a bright blue that reminded him of summers on the lake as a kid. She was stunning without even trying, and it made his stomach churn in a desire to confess his feelings to her.
Anytime she looked at him, Ram felt his cheeks burn. Each time he made her laugh, his heart swelled with the sound. When he caught her staring it was as if the sun were looking at him and even the tips of his ears glowed bright pink. She was too much for him, too beautiful, too down-to-earth, and just plain lovely.
Once Priya and Ram had gone to McDonald's on a Sunday to eat burgers there. Priya ate a cheeseburger and fries with him. Hell, she’d burped in front of him and Ram had only one thought in that brief moment when her true self was exposed: she was absolutely beautiful.
If only he wasn’t so shy. If only he could have spent the last one hundred and thirteen minutes holding her hand instead of staring blankly at the big screen dreaming of holding her hand, maybe he’d have half a chance. He hadn’t a clue what the movie was about save for a random car chase that had caught his attention for a little while, but the plot? Characters? He had no idea. He wondered if he’d picked the wrong type of movie for the evening , if Priya had liked it at all, but then again, she was probably bored with him anyway.
Nearing to the end of the film there was a  power cut due to which the screen flashed off and for a moment, the world was plunged into utter darkness.
Priya held her breath, still chewing nervously on the corner of her lip, as she waited patiently for the light to come.
Half an hour passed by the electricity came back. But they decided to keep the lights off. She asked him whether he wants to watch the film further to which he instantly denied. There was an awkward silence throughout the room. None of them spoke for few minutes.
Both of them were thinking out the way to confess. Heat blazing up their cheeks with uneven breaths that echoed throughout the room. Both them stared at which other for the next few minutes their lips gently parted, their hands hovering, reaching in the dark.

Ram felt the blush hit his cheeks and he ducked his chin, looking up at her through thick and unfair lashes.

Priya exhaled too quickly and sucked in her bottom lip to compensate, biting down hard to stop herself from blushing. With his thumb pad he let off her lower lips with the teeth and she shivered due to his touch.

He gently seeked permission through his eyes and she gave a simple nod in yes as she gave up on her lips and simply surrendering herself to him.

Finally their lips mated swingling around each other and left after few minutes to get their breaths as they placed their heads together.

Both looked at each other and blushed.

He cleared his throat.

“So… what do you think?”

Her black coal eyes glazed over as his voice filled her ears. “Think?”

Ram laughed softly. “About the movie.”

She shook herself back into reality. “Yeah, I-I liked it. You?”

“Was alright.” He shrugged and stood up, holding out a hand for her.

Priya took it, sinking her tiny hand into his big palm and smiling as he helped her up.

“Such a gentleman.”

He grinned and let his fingers close tighter around hers. “Only if you really want me to be…”

Her heart skipped. She took a breath and jumped. “You don’t have to be all the time.”

Ram felt the butterflies churning in his gut and he squeezed her hand, tugging her a step closer. “Good,” he said, taking the leap with her, bending to reach for her lips, “because I’ve wanted to do this all night…”
