As soon as we park I jump out running to the gate but it was locked making me pout as I walk back to Manik who was just stepping out of the car
"What's wrong?" He asks
"It's closed" I whisper
He grabs my arm walking to the door again, he pulls the door and it opens making me smile as I run in to see a whole bunch of people here
"Woah so pretty" I whisper seeing the ice cream flavours
"Did you want a cone or a cup?" Manik asks
"Cup, I want mango, vanilla, strawberry and then I want chocolate brownie in different cup" I say
the lady there gives such big scoops making me smile as I clap, ahh it looks so yummy.
"Here you go sweetie"
"Thank you" I whisper grabbing both the cups
"Penut butter cup with the white chocolate" manik says
He grabs his cup and pays for it, I wanted to eat in the car so we both walked back to the car. I put both the cups on the dashboard getting strapped in
"Did you wanna go to to a lookout?" He ask
"Can we?"
"It's a couple minutes away"
"Perfect, I know your old self needs to head to bed soon" I giggle
"You think im old?"
"Yeah, how old are you anyways?" I ask
"26" he answers
"Damnn you are aging quick mr malhotra" I tease
"Mrs malhotra don't make me start teasing you"
"This is gorgeous, how did you find this?" I ask as he parks the car at this mountain
"This is a normal lookout but i have this other one thats more private, not many know about it" he says
"Then why didn't we go there?"
"It's an hour or two away from here"
"Midnight road trip sounds perfect to me"
"I have a meeting in a few hours but I can take you some other time"
"Right, I forgot about that. Whats this meeting about?"
"A couple clubs"
"Sex clubs? Or like"
"A all rounder club, have you been to starlight before?" He asks me
"Mhm the name does sound familiar but no I haven't"
"It's a club owned by us malhotra's, there are strippers, private booths, bookings. It's in downtown. The last couple weeks, there has been a lot of drug dealing going in which is prohibited in my clubs, the meeting basically solidifies a plan and strategies to help and prevent the deals from happening with our club"
I like that he was truthful with me, he didn't hesitate before telling me what the problem is, when he said I am his better half, he meant it
"Does this happen often? The drug deals"
"Sometimes, I mean we do have lots of security and precautions but these things are bound to happen" he explains
"Manik" he hums
"Thank you for being so open and blunt with me" I whisper feeding him the brownie ice cream
"I will always tell you the truth, it doesn't matter how bad it is and I expect he same from you" I hum at him
I had finished all my ice cream and now as we were driving back I felt my stomach being weird and starting to hurt a little bit because it was a lot of ice cream.
We were laying in bed once we got home, manik was working on something on his laptop while I laid there in pain, I didn't want him to yell at me
"Hey whats wrong?" I hear his voice so I turned away from him laying on my side
"Just sleepy" I whisper
The lights shut and I felt Manik's hand on me arm
"Turn towards me" he says
"I can't sleep on that side" I lie
"Nandini" he warns
I take a quick breath and turn to him.
"What hurts?" He asks
"Nothing" I whisper being shocked
How the heck does he know, I was trying my best not to show any expressions and I haven't mentioned it o him either
"Nandini what hurt?" He asks again
"My stomach, I think I had way too much ice cream" I whisper
"Silly girl, no amount of ice cream is too much" he teases making me giggle
"See you know the goods" I say
He reaches over and places his hand on my stomach and the instant warmth of his hand makes me lean closer.
"I am going to give you a pill okay, take that and the cramping should get better soon okay" he says
"No, I don't do well with any pills, they are hard to swallow and why take it"
"because you are in pain" he says like im a little stupid
"Can I just borrow your hand" I ask
"I am not about to cut my arm off"
"You are stupid and slow, argh shh sleep" I whisper grabbing his arm turning my back to his chest pulling his arm to me
"Don't call me names"
"Why not" I ask
"Nandini"
"Im your wife hubby, I have the right to sometimes call you things like monster" he chuckles a bit
"Not in public okay"
"Why? Does it bruise your big ego?" I tease turning my head to look at him
"No" I smile leaning up a bit nudging my nose against his chin
"You aren't such a monster after all, there is a heart beneath all the cold ice sheath and I hope to melt it soon" I whisper
"go to sleep" he says
I turn my head curling up in his arms, I felt his lips on the back of my head and I did hear him mumbling something but I was far into my sleep to even notice or register the words
