DEVANSHI'S POV:

We came back to Jaipur and in two days We need to leave for Mumbai. Too tired, changing into a pj set, I entered the comforter. But I was wide awake, despite being so tired. After quiet some time, the bedroom door opened and he entered, looking in my direction and smiled. I responded with one too and asked "What took you so long?".

He was leaning against the door, hair messed, sleeves of his shirt folded, giving me an exclusive view of his veiny arms. He was muscular but not too muscular, it felt like he had an athlete and a fighter's combination for his body. His shirt's upper buttons open, Face bright and lips in a smirk. "Done checking me out."
Rolling my eyes I turned to the opposite side and he took a few strides getting closer to bed, I guess he stopped beside the bed saying "Roll your eyes next time and you'll be doing it for hours." I turned shocked at his warning looked at his face and he didn't seem like joking but then he asked.

"Were you waiting for me."

May be yes. But I didn't want to admit it and so stayed silent. He sighed and turned towards the washroom and I breathed in relief.

In a few minutes, he was back in the room, I felt bed sunk by his weight and in a two seconds he pulled me towards him hugging me from back. He didn't wear a shirt today.My heartbeats rose and I could feel his toned torso against my back and even my top wasn't that covered. I could feel him too much. Keeping his face in the crook of my neck, he brushed his nose there, inhaling he tightened his arm around my waist. " I was with Dad and Daatasa, discussing an upcoming project."

I just nodded to his answer and he spoke against my cheek "I would love you waiting for me."

I didn't say anything but bit my inner cheeks, trying to control my smile. He pecked my cheek and saying "Good night" Slept peacefully.

I kept my calf on his knee and then was able to sleep. I don't know why but even when I used to sleep with my teddy, keeping it beside me, I would keep an arm and leg from beside in side way position. May be it was a habit because, I and Akshu growing in a middle class family didn't have separate rooms, not until a few years ago. We didn't like seeing each other's face, so turning to opposite side We both sleep in this position locking each other as I was scared of ghosts and often had nightmares.

Next Morning:

I woke up at my usual time, did some yoga and reading. Later, doing my morning business got dressed in a saree.

I was getting ready, wearing my toe rings I remembered the anklets he gave. I had removed them and I knew he had those as I was awake.

Wanting to ask for them, I looked on the bed to see If he was awake only to find him already staring at me with a wide smile. He was in a half sitting position giving me a show of his ravishing torso, toned muscles. His slight puffy chest, the abs, I couldn't help but wonder what it would feel touching his bare torso beneath my fingers. I was into my thoughts forgetting about his gaze on me and when my eyes travelled to his face, again that stupid smirk.
