Tides of Love

Chapter 39

Nandini's pov

Waking up in my Manik's arms is my favourite thing, the way his breath tickles my neck as he hides his face in between my shoulder neck is so cute. He falls a sleep so much better in my neck or on my chest, but he refuses to sleep on my chest too long because he thinks he will crush me which is not true

Turning to face him I kiss his lips.

"Happy birthday handsome boy' I whisper kissing his lips again

His lips curve up in the tiniest little smile in his sleep, I love when he recognizes my touch even in his sleep, it's so cute.

I made sure not to move too much or make noises at all because if he wakes up my plans will be going down the drain so I place a couple pillows beside him and tip toe down to the living room where I cleaned up the rose peals really quick before going to my house

I showered and put on a baby blue dress and grabbed a set of clothes that I had gotten yesterday putting them in manik's car along with a couple other things. I then took a cab to this cafe, it's called the sweet bistro and we passed it on the way to that party we went to a while back.

Manik loves coffee from the cafe and even the little sweet treats they have, he is a super for those cupcakes and croissants so earlier yesterday I placed an order which I just have to pick up. I was hoping manik sleeps through it all because I know it will take me about 45 minutes to get there and come back

I know if he wakes up, he is going to ask a billion questions and tell me I should have woken him up and blah blah but I have plans for manik, a lot of them actually.

Reaching the cafe, I quickly grabbed my order which turned out so nice, it was beautiful, I am so excited. I wanted to call cabir and navya too but manik had mentioned a while ago he never celebrates his birthday and i's just a normal day for him so yeah plus they are both in LA right now for business anyways.

"Thank you" I mumble to the cab driver

i tip toed into manik's house and place the things on the kitchen table, making my way up to his room, I open the door slightly and I couldn't help but giggle. He was sleeping cuddling with the pillows and blankets, I took a few picture of him and grabbed his phone when it was vibrating like crazy

'Dad' the phone displayed

i hesitated but did pick up the phone putting it to my ear

"You stupid monkey, I have been calling from the past hour, are you sleeping drunk what the hell?" I giggle hearing his dad

"Oh, mhm manik?"

"Uncle, sorry mhm this is nandini"

"Ohhh nandini, hey sweetheart, how are you?"

"You know me?" i ask

"Of course I know you, did you think I wouldn't notice how much nicer and less bitchy my son is these past few months"

"Im sorry uncle, I didn't know it was you" I whisper

"Oh don't be silly, I a glad it was you but I am sorry for saying all the stupid things. Sometimes when I am nervous, I ramble" he says making me smile

"I do too, I ramble a lot"

"Nandini, Manik hasn't told me where you two stand and nor do I care. I am very happy that he got you in his life and though he is a bit of a hassle I am happy you have him"

"He isn't uncle, he is so nice and treats me so well. His anger though"

"Yup, malhotras are always angry" I giggle a bit

"Where is that monkey?" He asks

"Sleeping, hold on" he hums as I walk to the bed

"Manik, wake up"

"Nooo let me sleep" I smile

"Put me on speaker" his dad says

"Okay" I mumble putting him on speaker

"WAKE UP DIAPER KIDDD" his dad screams making manik jump a little

"Dad" he whispers, his voice still groggy

i hand him the phone and he curls up against me shoving his face in my stomach

"Hello"

"Happy birthday manik" his dad says

"Thanks dad"

"You are getting old monkey"

"how this is a nice birthday wish?" He asks frowning

"Champ you are still handsome but not for long, come on put a ring on her and I promise you she will always keep you happy"

"I will, soon"

"Ive got to go monkey but stay safe and I love you. Call me if you need anything, and you know I mean anything"

"I love you too dad and I will. Be safe and take care of yourself. Don't forget the medicines" he whispers and his dad hums

his dad cuts the call and manik looks up at me

"Happy birthday handsome" I whisper

He grins kissing my lips

"Thank you" he mumbles putting his face back on my stomach

i caress his hair massaging his shoulders as well, he hums in satisfaction making me smile. Manik never tells me how tired he is but every time I massage his shoulders he relaxes so nicely

"Sleep okay?" I ask

"Soo good, I love you baby"

"I love you so much more, I think it's time to wake up"

"No, cuddle with me please" he whines

"I will cuddle with you later tonight, for now I need you to get up and shower please"

"Noooo"

"I have some surprises for you handsome boy, come on wake up. I promise later tonight I have very chill plans"

"More surprises?" He asks

"Yes tons more"

"Arghhh why is everyone calling me" he whines when his phone rings again

"Because it's your birthday" I mumble kissing his lips

He rolls off me and picks up his phone, it was cabir and navy wishing him as well, as they talked I walked downstairs and got a tray ready. When I heard him get in the shower I walked upstairs to the room

Making the bed, I placed the tray in the middle and pulled the curtains letting the light in.
