Discordance

Chapter Sixty-Nine (pun intended)

With her jaw on the floor, Akshara disembarked the little golf cart and while she wanted to skip and walk over to their little bungalow to take everything in, she had to at least reel it in a little bit with the staff around as they unloaded their bags and brought them inside the room.

"EEEP" she let out a little squeal after realizing that she really couldn't contain her excitement, staff's presence be damned. With her mouth slightly open she blinked rapidly as the grandness of their room hit her in the solar plexus like a punch, whooshing the breath out of her. Their secluded bungalow was located on the edge of the beach and she was literally 10 steps away from the crystal clear blue of the water but they also had an infinity pool that overlooked the water and she could just imagine herself being spoilt for choice...maybe the pool could be a night thing and the open vast ocean her day time frolicking spot.

The numerous shades of the Indian ocean and the crashing waves reverberated in their huge room, the walls and the white tasteful décor with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the water in the most wonderful way. This was heaven and her eyes weren't quick enough to take everything in. Her flat sandals slapped on the floor as she rushed from one corner of the room to the next but all she wanted to do was run out of their balcony and straight into the ocean.

"It's a private spot, nobody will be back here so the beach is pretty much secluded all times of the day." Abhimanyu's amused voice came from behind her, and she turned to him in surprise almost forgetting he was privy to each emotion crossing her face.

Never in her life had she expected this to be her life and her heart and mind were slightly overwhelmed trying to corelate her surroundings to her feelings, a lot of the feelings were overshadowed by her love for her stupid husband who felt like he could make her throat go dry by doing these grand gestures.

"Abhimanyu.." she whispered and even to her own ears she sounded like a woman too far gone in love. She slowly twirled a finger around, blinking rapidly before bouncing up to him and locking her hands behind his neck. SO what if she had to stretch all the way up to her tiptoes?

With his lip tipped up at the corner, he raised an eyebrow up at her giving her time to find the words. "You do too much for me...this is beautiful. I don't need all of this but I appreciate it so much."

"This is the least I could do my monkey" he finally grinned, that dimple peeking in his jaw as he circled his arms around her waist stroking her sides "Plus I'll be very honest, I needed this more than you do and watching you in swimsuits is my retribution for allowing you to go over and stay away with your brothers." Blushing at his words, she bit her lip but as his words registered, she pulled away slightly frowning up at him.

"Where did the swimsuits come from?" she wanted to break character and smile at the way his eyes twinkled but she also wanted him to smile so she was naturally in a tough spot.

Abhimanyu gave a long-suffering sigh and Akshara almost giggled at him but let him speak his mind "I deserved a little gift for staying away from you so naturally I just bought some."

"Aah" she said nodding once in mock understanding, looking away from him as her fingers played with the soft hair at the nape of his neck.

"Naturally they'll cover every inch of my body then?" she said tugging the hair gently, laughing out loud when he with a straight face nodded down at her "Naturally".

Suddenly despite the breeze blowing in from the Ocean, Akshara felt sweaty, yet her entire body was covered in goosebumps. In a split-second decision, she raised on her tiptoes again and dropped a small kiss on his warm, inviting lips "love you" she whispered against his mouth and pulled her arms away, needing to turn away from his startled yet way too bright eyes.
