Tides of Love

Chapter 40

"Nandini" he screams

"I am not in London that you are screaming"

"Be nice to me, It's my birthday" he giggles making me smile

"Yeah?"

"Yes you rude women, can you please hand me my towel?" He asks

"What if I wanna see you in your birthday suit" I tease

"You don't gotta ask me twice" he says

"Manikkk, stay in there" I scream hearing the door of the bathroom click

His laugh echos in the bathroom making me smile, he has such a pretty laugh. I hand him his towel, a few minutes alter he comes out in jeans and a t shirt

"You look handsome" I whisper

"thank you my love" he kisses my head

"Come on, breaky time" I say

"You got us breakfast?" He asks sitting on the bed on the other side of the tray

"I did, it's all your favourite, I hope you like it" I whisper nervously

I mean yes I know he likes all of this but I'm still nervous, I haven't really done anything like this for anyone really, not even for myself so I am a bit on the fence with everything.

I contemplated so much yesterday before going ahead with the decor and at the end I kinda just went with it because why not. He seemed to love it so that was great.

"Nandini you didn't have to do this" he whispers, his eyes glued on the tray

"I wanted to"

"This is too much" he mumbles

"No it's not, it's the bare minimum Manik"

"the cafe is like an hour away"

"Manikkk"

"What? I just don't want you to mhm be bothered, having to order it from there and they don't even do deliveries"

this wasn't the Manik I knew, he had something else in his head

"Hey, look at me" I whisper grabbing his hand

"I just don't wanna bother you and you already did so much for me yesterday and this just all is too much Nandini"

His eyes weren't looking in mine instead he was trying everything to avoid contact

"Mani, this is barely anything, this is nothing. I just wanted to make you feel special plus I know how much you love this cafe" I whisper

His eyes tear up a little as he leans his head onto my shoulder grabbing my waist.

"She always said it's a give and take, if she gave something, id have to give back" he whispers

"All I want and need back is love, maybe a few kisses every hours but that's all I need"

"I am sorry, I just"

"Relax, just breath into it" he nods holding me close

"I love you' he whispers

"I love you more, come on lets finish this breakfast and then you and I are going somewhere special" I tell him

"Where?" He asks

"Ohh a very very interesting place" I say

he chuckles pulling his face out of my neck, I kiss his lips wiping his face

"Illuminating" I whisper making him laugh

We ate together and this man was having the time of his life picking apart all the digesting tomatoes i wouldn't eat
