"Would you wanna go out with me for ice cream?" I hear him asking

"Like now?" I ask leaning my head on his shoulder looking up at him

"Yeah?"

"Oh hell yeahhhh,lets goooo" I run in the room moving his arm away

I search for my sandals and finding them I slip them on, I also grabbed his phone and saw him chuckling at my actions but that's fine, I want ice cream now

He grabs my hand before I could run and we slowly walked to the driveway, way too god damn slow in my opinion but hey whatever.

"Shh stop, sit down" he says opening the door for me

"Ice cream" I yelll laughing

He shakes his head at me getting in the driver's seat. There is something about him wanting to drive us instead of waking up Ronald, it's not a big thing but to me it is because my father would always wake people up and ask them to do things for them instead of doing it himself

he would wake up our driver if he wanted to go somewhere with mom at night or he would wake up the chef if he was hungry in the middle of the night even though he could make something small for himself but nope.

"Will you breath a little?" He asks

"Huh? Breath who?" I ask

"You are holding your breath, I will get us ice cream, no need to faint cause of it"

"You are being nice and that means you forgive me fully?" I ask him

"I already forgave you but I don't want a repeat of it again"

"It won't happen again" I assure him

"Good girl" he praises and I giggle at how weird but good his words sounded

"Can we roll the windows down please?" I ask him

he rolls them down right away turning the air conditioning off, the soft beautiful midnight breeze touches my face making me smile closing my eyes

"You know Manik"

he hums

"If I ever pass away or you know die in a violent crime haha"

"It's no fucking funny" he growls making me turn my head towards him

His jaw was clenched, this man is literally going to break his jaw one day

"I was"

"Do not mention death, not something I wanna hear come out of that mouth"

"Shhh I was saying when that happens I will want to become the wind. And if I die before you then know that every time the wind touches your face it will be me saying hi to you" I whisper to him

The car stops abruptly as he pulls on the side of highway. His head turns to me and he grabs my chin pulling me closer to him but none of his actions hurt me, his hold was firm but not painful

"I will not sit here listening to you tell me this bullshit. I am not letting anything happen to you and if something does happen I go before you" his words are always so powerful that it scares me a bit how in control he was of his words

"These demons in your head will be gone, I will get rid of them but you cannot think about dying, you are not dying. Do you understand me?" He asks

"It's not about the demons in my head, it was a comment"

"I don't want you thinking about these comments, anything to do with death, doesn't fucking fly with me here do you get that or not?" He asks

His eyes were spitting anger, he was upset and it made my heart swell a little to see him so worked up just hearing me say something like that

i lift my hand up placing it on his face, I caress his cheek a little poking him making me giggle but his expressions don't change, his eyes do soften a bit but he was still bothered

"I won't talk about death, I promise it wasn't something I was insinuating. I just like the wind, and I know thats where ill go after this world"

"No you won't becasue I will take you with me even after"

"dang it, you won't leave me even in heaven?" I tease

"Who says you are going to heaven?" he asks making me chuckle

"I guess being the devil's wife doesn't really get you access to heaven right?" He chuckles shaking his head a little at my words

I lean closer and kiss his cheeks, I could tell he was taken back a bit but he doesn't say anything

"I understand what you mean and I will not talk about it again"

"If it's in your head then yes I wanna hear it, I need you to share it but Nandini why is it that you think about death so much?"

"It's something that kept me going when things got bad, it was something I knew could put me out of my pain but I will be very honest with you, ever since we got married, I haven't once thought about it"

"You promise you haven't?" He asks

"I promise you I haven't, the only thing I keep thinking about is how things will be with us and you mostly you. Gosh Manik, you keep me busy man"

He kissed my nose pulling back starting the car again

"Ill always keep you busy" he says

"Dang, I din't know sex was gonna be offered in the car like this"

"Oh shut up, I do not have sex in cars that aren't my absolute favourite" he smirks

"So this isn't a favourite?" I ask

"Well it is but arun took it that one time remember and though I did get it detailed and cleaned completely I do not wish to"

"To have sex at the same surface as your best friend?" I ask

"No, I just don't wanna devour my wife in a car for the first time"

When I tell you my cheeks heat up and my throat closed a little as I gulped down at nothing, ahhhh his words gosh oh my goddd

"This is a nice sight" he whispers

"Mhm um what is?" I ask recovering from his words

No, how the hell was I kidding, I don't think I could ever recover from his words again

"You blushing and I am the reason behind it"

"Oh don't be so cocky, it's not you"

"It's me and it will always be me darling, you better get that in this head" he says patting my head like I'm a child

"How do you feed your ego?" I ask

"By looking at you" he says making me snort a little

"Yeah? What else do you do by looking at me?"

"A lot actually"

"Ahhh ice creammmm" I yell seeing the little ice cream parlour
