Arranged To Be His 🩵

Chapter 28

"Manik" he hums a bit as I take a huge breath

"It's been 4 months"

"Almost 5" he corrects making me shake my head at him

"It's been almost 5 months since we got married and every day I feel this sense of security, this care from you. Every day is a new adventure, I learn so much about you, your personality, and not just you but me. I am getting to know myself better as well. I remember us talking about love and fairytales, I wanted to fall in love with someone like those beautiful fairytales"

"Nandini" he interrupts

"I didn't marry you with the intentions of falling for you, especially not after you made it clear that love wasn't your cup of tea. You see I tend to ignore all these little details and I know this is going to weird and I don't know how you will react to it but"

"You are scaring me" he says

"I never thought I would, but I have fallen in love with you manik, and I continue to fall so deep in love. Sometimes it feels illegal to be feeling such things for a certain someone. You know the books made me feel giddy about love when I read it but I mhm, this love that I feel for you is different. At first I just thought I was crazy but I'm not. My heart beats like crazy, sometimes a million miles an hour when im with you. My stomach feels giddy when you kiss my head, my hands feel like they belong when you hold them. With you everything is intense and so calm at the same time. I belong with you manik and I love you. The way our hands work perfectly together or the way our bodies mold so perfectly together makes me wonder if I was created jsut for you. I know you say you aren't the one to love or fall in love but I also can't live without telling you how much I love you"

His eyes had widened but his jaw was relaxed so I knew he wasn't upset or angry with me. His hands were still locked behind me as his thumbs caressed my lower back gently.

"I love you too nandini" he whispers

"I know it's not like I can force you to love woahh wait a minute, what did you juat say"

"I love you nandini, I love you" my eyes tear up a little hearing him

"I wasn't the one to love, I didn't think I ever could, love for me was overrated until you. I feel secure and safe with you, now that sounds messed up being this huge mafia person, knowing self defence, fuck I have killed people but somehow when you hug me and the way your head rests right where my heart is, I feel relaxed and at peace, I feel like I am safe. When I am walking out of an intense meeting and I see that beautiful smile on your face, I feel like life is worth it. The way you try and match your breathing with mine when you hug me and the way your tiny little hands fit in mine makes me also feel like we are meant to be. Nandini I have never met another human being like you, I have felt the way I feel for you. I feel normal and like a person when you are running around creating a havoc, when you don't really care who watches you when you are dancing in shorts on ur bed, it makes me realize that you are the reason I am happy and smiling all the time. I love you nandini, I love you so much"

I scream jumping up in his arms as he twirls me around making me laugh

"Ahhh this is perfect, I love you" I mumble

"I love you more" he mumbles placing me down

His eyes look into mine and I giggle seeing him smiling at me, I love it.

He leans down placing his lips on mine making me smile against his lips. his soft chapped lips on mine was everything I had ever imagined and more.

His hands held my face as he kept his lips still letting me adjust to the fact that I was kissing him, I was kissing my husband. i held onto his t shirt as his lips start moving with mine.

The feeling of being on a roller coaster and that giddiness and those tingles that you get in your stomach, that's exactly how I felt. i assume this is what being on ecstasy feels like.

I lean up on my tippy toes moving my head to the left, gosh he tastes so good, the way his lips work on mine, I have never felt this before. it was all the things I read in books, when you can't get enough of a person or when their lips land on yours, you forget the world. And I was forgetting everything else but manik

i pull back from manik's lips when I hear something, looking up I saw fireworks making me smile wider than I was before, even though that wasn't possible. This is perfect, so so perfect

"Manik" I whisper

"I know baby girl" he whispers kissing my head holding me close to him as watch the fireworks

Im not sure why there were fireworks but all I know is it was perfect timing.

"Are you hungry?" Manik asks

I look at him nodding, I have gotten so much better with food. i actually have a couple things I eat all the time like mhm those crunchy grapes that manik got me ones and then now I ask for them all the time or mhm chips, these spicy chips ahh so good

"Can we get some pizza?" I ask

"Of course, ill order it in. Did you wanna shower while I do that?"

i nod grabbing my clothes from my suitcase, I was grinning the whole time I was showering, I could't help replay the kiss, the moments with manik that have already made this trip so special for us.

"Food is here" I hear him

I quickly hop out of the shower pulling on shorts and a t-shirt, the smell of the cheesy goodness reaches my nose making me smile

"Yummm" I whisper

"Wait for me?" He says kissing my head before walking to the shower

I organize the pizza boxes and the wings on the bed, I then picked a show we can watch because manik only watches cricket or movies.
