Extremely Slow love

38

When Naina woke up in the morning, she saw that Meera was sleeping beside her.

Naina was shocked. She looked at Meera.

She looks so cute while sleeping, yet so grumpy. She hasn't applied lip balm, I feel like pulling the sheet and making her fall off the bed.

Naina took some lip balm and started applying it to Meera's lips when Meera suddenly opened her eyes.

"You could have waited a bit; I wouldn't have objected," she said with a smile.

"I was applying lip balm; your lips got chapped because of me," Naina said angrily.

"Go ahead," Meera said.

As Naina applied lip balm to Meera, Naina's mom came in and said,

"Sorry, sorry! I thought you both hadn't woken up yet."

"Mom, nothing like that is happening; we're both women."

"Yes, but she's my daughter-in-law." 

"Daughter-in-law?" 

"Maaa, who told you I'm interested in Meera?"

"I'm your mother. I've seen you smiling at her, and how your cheeks would blush like roses when you looked at Meera."

Meera was laughing a lot after hearing that, while Naina seemed irritated.

Meera said, "Thank you, mother-in-law, you're the best. You opened the door for me, so thank you."

Naina said angrily, "Mom, there's nothing between me and Meera; even I hate her."

"Hate! Then why were you applying lip balm?" her mother asked.

"I was just worried," Naina replied.

"You're worried but not in love," her mother said.

"Whose side are you on, mom?"

"I'm on Meera's side. My daughter-in-law is so beautiful; I was thinking who the best match for you would be, and she's the best choice."

"Maaaaaa," Naina said, feeling shy, and then went to the bathroom.

Meera hugged Naina's mom and said, "Make some potato parathas."

"I'll bring them right away," her mom replied. 

Someone knocked on the bathroom door.

"Mom, you... Meera?" Naina said in surprise.

Meera went in and said, "Let's freshen up together."

"No way! Get out," Naina replied.

"Don't raise your voice too much, or I'll make noise in a way that will embarrass your mom," Meera threatened.

"You're blackmailing me again," Naina said angrily.

"Well, I have the right to, as your girlfriend." Meera made cute puppy eyes and spoke.

"You have no right. I've already broken up with you," Naina replied.

"Fine, tell me why you broke up with me. Because I asked you to kiss me?" Meera questioned.

"Damn, I'm trapped. Fine. I'll wear clothes, but I won't take them off," Naina conceded.

"Fine! I'm going to take a shower without clothes. You take off my clothes. Meera said.

"Huh? I don't want to see you," Naina replied.

"You're dying to see me like this, you want to see me without clothes." Meera teased.
