17.celebrate together

Adaa POV

"you think this is going to work? this engagement for them and situationship for us thing", I know he can sense my worry and understand how complicated of a topic it is. "for once trust me", his palm caressed my cheek and his lips met my forehead for a brief time. I want to trust him so I nod. We are back to his apartment at 6 in the evening.  The day went by due to the exhaustion and we found ourselves in each other's arms, sharing the warmth.

Nervous, that is what I would say if you ask me how I feel. Today my family wants to meet his family over lunch. To discuss the engagement and stuff.  currently, I am in front of his mirror giving the final touch to my maroon saree. He is in his Oxford button-down shirt in navy blue colour along with cream pants. If I wasn't this nervous I would have kissed him right away, why does he look so fine with minimal effort? 

He is watching me formerly, and my breath hitched when I lift my eyes. His eyes held emotions that I couldn't figure out, so deep, the jet black turned light with emotions and darker with lust. "How do I look?" it was more like a whisper. what happened to me.

He swiftly collected me in his arms, his hand sneaking around my bare waist, his face in the crook of my neck. A small kiss on my shoulder blades and my breath shuddered. I was wearing a simple chain and black metal jhumkas and my hair was tied up as a messy fish tale. 

"It's ok, we can do it", he leaves his grip on my waist and cupping my face, I nod. We made our way to my home. By the time we reach, everything is ready and they are waiting for his family. I went to my mom while he went to my dad. 

soon his family arrived, and everyone started to talk, slowly my nervousness fading away. "Adaa, Veer go and stand together, let me take a pic." we stood up smiling at his mom. We stood in the middle of the hall together. His mom clicked the pic of us smiling but not touching each other. 

"Bro, come a little close, you are a couple so behave like one.", by the time my brother could finish his sentence, his left hand went to my waist bringing me close and my head snapped in his direction just to be greeted with his mischievous smile. His little action made my tummy flatter.

"done", my brother's voice got me out of my trance and out of his hands. I don't wanna lose my leftover sanity in front of them. By the time I went to sit everyone had that teasing smile on their faces. especially, my mother, she is such a tease. We sit beside each other, everyone comes forward keeping kumkum and feeding sweet. 

By the end of the day, we came back home, not before having dinner. Everything went well and I am so glad for that. "Did I ever say that you look so ethereal in a saree", he is on the bed waiting for me and I am doing my night routine. 

"No, you didn't", I said smiling. 

"Well, I want to show you then." in a second I am in bed with him hovering above me. His hand went to my nightgown gliding on my thighs. 

"In brown you look so peaceful, yet dangerous. you look like earth, holding up all together, the mountains and the oceans. calms and storms. cold and warm. your eyes shining like the sun, skin glowing like an ocean, hair falling like leaves, your feet moving like rivers, smile blooming like a flower."

I was so lost in his eyes, sincere brimming inside his eyes. I kissed him, rather than rough and need, it was soft and caring. He pulled back and kissed my nose. "We are tired, let's sleep", he said getting up and pulling me into his hug, scooping me with him.
