Baby I'm Yours

Dil-Kashi

Murtasim woke up slowly, feeling the warmth of Meerab's body in his arms. She had her back to him, and his arms were wrapped around her waist. His face buried in her hair, he smiled, feeling content after days. He hadn't slept well for the last couple of days. Being away from her wasn't easy, especially now that he knew that she loved him. He tugged her closer to him and savored the moment he had been waiting for since they got married. He was getting late and had to get up soon, but this felt too good to give up. He decided to steal a few more moments before the day began.

As the clock made it's progress he had no choice but to get up. He tried to detangle his body from Meerab's with light movements, but she woke up, wrapping her arms around him again "ummm...Murtasim" she moaned and snuggled closer. He smiled. She was cute. snuggling into him like he was a teddy bear. "2 more minutes, please," she pleaded, resting her head on his heart. He had never been able to say no to her, and now he didn't want to. The way her body felt against him was sending currents in his body. He was turned on, but at the same time, his heart filled with warmth at her simple affectionate gesture.

"I'm sorry, tumhari neend kharab ho gayi but mujhe nikalna hoga. You sleep. I'll see you later tonight, " he said, placing a soft kiss on her forhead.

"Hmm.. it's fine. You get ready, I'll get your breakfast. " Meerab replied, waking up.

"It's fine, go back to sleep," he insisted, but as usual, she didn't listen to him.

"No, if you can drive all the way here to watch me sleep, then I can wake up early one day too..now go!" She said, pushing him towards the bathroom.

"Jaisa aap kahe Mrs. Khan, " he replied.

Meerab was seated on the dreaded sofa in their room with breakfast when he came out of the bath. He winked at her when he felt her gaze on him as he groomed his hair & beard. She just rolled her eyes and laughed at him. Murtasim marveled at the ease he felt with her. The joy her presence brought to the simplest of moments.

He walked over to the sofa and sat next to her. Meerab raised her eyebrows. "tumhe to samne baithna chahiye, na?"

He smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist, bringing her close to him so she was sitting right next to him. "I have to spend the whole day away from you. Why would I start now?" He asked as he nuzzled her neck.

Meerab blushed. "Kya baat hai aaj subah itna pyaar?" She asked, handing him a cup of coffee.

"Hume to roz hi pyar aata hai aap pe meri jaan...bas jatane ka mauka nahi milta," he whispered in her ear and placed a soft kiss on her neck.

"Murtasim!" She gasped and turned her head away. "Batein mat banao...aur nashta karo"

"I can do both," he said and held her hand. His thumb runs soft circles on the back of her hand.

Meerab shook her head, giving in and asked, "Main bhi chaloon tumhare saath?"

"Nahi, I'll be busy all day, and you would just get bored. I will try to wrap things early and come back tonight. " he declined her offer but softened the blow by running his knuckles along her jaw.

"You don't have to," Meerab replied
" There's no point in traveling all the way here just to sleep for a couple of hours. You can stay there tonight and come after the issue is resolved."

"If you think sleep is overrated, We could do other things besides sleeping while I am here," he said and winked at her.

"Murtasim!" She admonished, slapping his arm as he laughed at her reaction. "Mera wo Matlab nahi tha."

"I know." he said."I don't want to spend the night away from you." he continued, his eyes on hers.

"Me neither, but traveling back and forth is pointless. Just finish up the work and come back early tomorrow, " she suggested.
