My meeting ran a bit longer than it was supposed to but once I was done, I walked back into the room to find the cutest site ever. Nandini was laying on her stomach, her legs moving side to side as she sketched on a random notepad she found in the room
"Maniii" she giggles as I sat beside her
"What is my little muffin drawing?' I ask
"Look I drew flowers and hearts and some nice plants" she says showing me all her sticky notes
"Very pretty"
"Thank you, how was your meeting?" She asks
"It was good, did you wanna get out of here and grab some yummy food on our way home. We can eat in our balcony and then we can talk having ice cream on the hammock"
"Yes please, that sounds perfect" she says nodding making me smile
"Very well, lets get going"
She folds the blanekt placing it on the side where I grabbed it from, putting her sandals on she fixes her top and jeans grabbing my hand
"Off we go" she says making me chuckle
"Off we go, wanna tell me what you want eat?"
"Chowmein" she says licking her lips
She is so cute!!!
"Who lives on a pineapple under the sea, SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS" I hear her singing in the bathroom making me laugh
She sings horrendous songs like really horrendous ones while she showers or just walking around the house
"Manik say it" she yells
"Yes sponge bob square pants" I repeat
She hums the rest of whatever song that is happily coming out of the bathroom
"Ready to talk?" I ask
"Yes" she says nodding
When we got home we had an early dinner and some desert in the balcony, and now we are going to talk about everything finally
"You said hammock' she says seeing me sit on the bed
"Go pick a side, I will bring blankets"
"You are so silly mani, there are no sides on the hammock it's like a big whoop" she mumbles gesturing how low hammocks really go
I grabbed a blanket following her out to the hammock, I sit down and she looks in my lap, knowing she wants to sit in my arms I look up and nod at her
"Come on" I mumble
She happily gets comfortable in my lap and leans onto my chest slowly
"You won't get upset at all right?" She asks
"No I won't"
"The year and bit of our engagement was very abusive for me" she says
"What?" I hear myself blurting out
"Everything looked good, I mean him as a person looked good until we got engaged then things started getting weird like that first meeting alone at the cafe where he ordered us a coffee and a scone but I don't eat scones nor do I drink coffee so I told him that I don't drink warm coffee and if I could get an iced to which he said yes in front of the server but as soon as the server left he was pissed because I disrespected him. He didn't even let me drink the coffee, then I had to open the door for him and I'm not saying I wouldn't open the door but the way he forced me to open the car door for him was so humiliating" she says
