Tale of Two Lovebirds

Chapter 31

Hello amigos! This chapter is a little longer than the previous one in hopes of making the story progress while still [half-] fulfilling Ayu's request and also Sweeta's (last part of the story). Enjoy!

Chapter 31

"What are you doing?" Deepika inquired when she saw Ranveer trying to type on his phone using only his left thumb. She smiled because he couldn't use his right hand, as it was busy holding one of hers. They were now walking along the sea shore after leaving the comfy beach bed behind, too full from their delicious meal to lay down again.

"Checking Twitter." He answered and she shook her head; "no underwear after 10 pm" wasn't their only rule, "no phones during our alone time" was also one of them. It got instituted early into their relationship and they still followed it. Their time alone was so precious they couldn't afford to waste any of it.

So he asked her to hold his sandals along with hers so he could check Twitter while they were strolling on a beautiful beach? Sandals in hand and all, she playfully tried to reach for his phone to take away the distraction. All she managed to do though was get sand from the shoes on him, she couldn't grab the phone as he quickly withdrew his hand.

"Arre! Hold on, I'm almost done." He exclaimed.

"What are you tweeting?" She insisted and he put his phone back in his short's back pocket.

"Nothing." He said with a smile and she didn't believe him.

"I can look on my phone, you know?" She stopped walking to grab hers from her purse. "Hold this." She said handing him their sandals and he chuckled, taking them from her. They were still holding hands and he didn't let go, so she fumbled through her small albeit full-of-stuff purse with one hand. It was her right one though, so it wasn't that hard.

She made a cute face once she found his tweet on her busy timeline. "So sweet..." She said looking moved by what she read. What he shared was a picture of the ocean clicked from the beach bed, accompanied by a tweet in which he gushed not only about the excellent view but also about the delicious food and the wonderful company.

Before he knew it, she was planting a smooch on his cheek with her right arm around his neck. She loved how romantic he was and the beautiful things that went through his even more beautiful head. "I forgive you for breaking the phone rule." She whispered before kissing his cheek again. She didn't really get upset though and he knew it. He would also call her out when she spent too much time on her phone.

She didn't immediately put the device away after the kisses so he attempted to get revenge, dropping the sandals on the sand and reaching for her phone like she had done earlier when he was tweeting. "Wait!" She exclaimed. Unlike her, he succeeded at getting a hold of her phone but she didn't let go of it. "I want to take a picture too!" She complained, pulling the device and he loosened his grip, letting her have it back. She quickly loaded the camera app, tapped the "flip camera" button and held the phone up. He smiled upon seeing himself next to her on the screen and leaned closer so she could click a selfie with him.

Deepika grinned when she took a closer look at the picture she had just taken; Ranveer was showing one of his most beautiful smiles and the bright blue sea could be seen in the background. They were posing cheek to cheek, her hair was messy because of the breeze and she didn't have make-up on but she didn't mind because she looked and felt happy. Plus she was wearing sunglasses anyways, aviators, and so was he. Happy coincidence.

"Send it to me too." He said assuming she was sending the picture to his mom (to show it to Ria) or to her sister or her parents. She nodded and a few seconds later he received a notification on his phone but it wasn't an SMS from her, it was Twitter telling him she had tweeted.
