Blinded

Dearly Parted

Ann opened her eyes, and for a moment panicked not having him next to her in bed. Then hearing a snore she turned around to see him sleeping in the most awkward position with one arm hanging over on the chaise lounge. He was about to roll over and fall flat on his face. She slithered out of her covers and tip toed to him being careful not to wake him up. She tried to adjust his position by putting her arm around his shoulder to support him, when he hugged her instead rolling over on top of her. He snored out loud again and squished her in his sleep as if he was adjusting a pillow for his comfort.

She couldn't help but giggle when his stubble graced her skin tickling her. Shivaay woke up startled and confused. It took a while for him to realise that he was lying so comfortably on top of her, and this perfect pillow was his annoying wife. Whom he hated right now.

"Ann you gotta be kidding me!" He sat back up wriggling himself up, making a face as if he was a rodent stuck in a mouse trap.

"Sor..Sorry...You were about to fall off the couch...I just wanted to help...I swear it was an accident!"

"Whatever you...You stay two feet away from me! At all times! I don't trust you one bit!"

He wiped his shoulders and his face off as if she'd give him something contagious. Ann frowned staring at him with her furrowed brows.

"What? Excuse me? Ohhh you think...you think...You make me sound like some wanton woman Mr.Oberoi! I could have very well let you fall flat on your face and break your perfect teeth...I was trying to help you!"

"Pfft help I don't need your help...Psycho..."

He blurted under his breath and bit his lower lip realising he intact said it out loud.

"Did you? Did you just call me a Psycho?" Her eyes widened and her nose became smaller.

"I...I...did...because you are..." He stuck with it. He thought it. Might as well say it out loud!

She aimed a pillow at him frustrated and it landed straight on his face.

"Seriously? Ann! Grow up!"

Another pillow landed on his head and he caught the next one that was about to pound him on his nose again.

"I am not playing this stupid game with you!"

He threw the pillow back at her. "OUCH...OW!"

Trying to duck, Ann knocked her toe on the coffee table, and she hopped in one place.

"Are you okay?" He sounded worried and she laughed out loud in contempt.

"Huh...As if you give two hoots about me...If you do you'd never even said what you just said! I...I am not even...URGH!"

He raised an eyebrow, and a smug smirk took over his handsome face making her swoon over him all over again this morning. All in all he was right. She wanted to be close to him. Closer than a pillow he rests his head on.

" I know I am rather good looking, but you can't keep throwing yourself at me! Not going to work...This you and me is temporary...If you don't respect the boundaries I have set, I am leaving you!" 

He said sounding like a snob with his nose up in air. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists irritated. What does he think of himself? Prince of  Persia? Well he's hotter...She disciplined her childish heart with a pinch.

"FINE...I...I will stay two feet apart from you at all times...By the way I am not throwing my self at you! Who said you are good looking? Right now you...you just look like a grumpy wild cat who took a bath!"

"Pfffft grumpy wild cat? For your information, I was voted the prom king in college!"

"Yeah by whom your good old Mrs.Fernandez?" She lulled.
