Few More Reasons To Live

Chapter 36

TANISHKA'S POV

It's One-thirty three at night and here I'm sitting on the kitchen counter waiting for him. No I'm not waiting for anyone I'm just having my midnight icecream yeah that's all.

We are back to his mantion. Shahanaz's reception went well and then after two days I and mateo decided to come home. Maa and baba was really sad , they were crying their heartout and stopping us. They love mateo. But I was missing home. I don't know, I had only spend some time here but now it feels like I know this place from ages. I love the vibes. So after a lots of good-byes we finally arrived here, yesterday. I slept the whole day. And while having dinner Josh informed that in one of the warehouses they own was attacked by one of his enemy.

So he literally ran to his car not before telling me to finish my food and sleep well. And he gave forehead kisses. Kisses.

And then he disappeared in his car. He didn't came home today. Not that I was waiting for him all night and all morning and all afternoon and all evening. I'm hungry. I haven't had my lunch. I ate icecream in breakfast. And yesterday's dinner well after Mateo left I too left for my room. No Mateo no food. It's my slogan.

He'll go furious, if he got to know about this. My health matters to him alot. He treats me like a soft, delicate flower. I'll lie if I say I don't like all this things. His attention is all I need. CRAVE.

I raised my head and saw the clock, it's two o' fucking clock where the hell is he from yesterday. Not that I'm desperate to see him . I'm not. And neither am I waiting for him. I'm just having my icecream because you know No Mateo No Food. And for me ice cream isn't food, it's just icecream so I can have it. I'm ravenous. When will he come.

The sound of car engine pulled me out of my thoughts and I don't need to run out and see who is it. It's Mateo , I know. I recognise his arrival from the sound of his car. My mother too always knew that it's my father's vehicle and I on the other hand always got confused, I wonder how the hell my mother can recognise a vehicle's sound but now I understood. You can recognise the person from the sound of the vehicle.

Mateo walks like a ghost ; I have noticed. The sound of door opening and closing reached my ear but no footsteps heard. Why the hell he is taking so much time, my ice cream is almost finished.

"What are you doing piccola ?" a small smile escape from my lips, finally I got the privilege to hear his voice. Here he is , with me , in our home. No I didn't think that. Take it slow tanishka take it slow.

I felt someone's hand on my face , as I turned my head my heart skipped a whole fucking blood pumping session. This man is the death of me. His face so close to mine yet so far. His fingers are creasing my cheeks then my jaw and stopping on my lips. Don't do this. He is brushing my lips with his thumb, koi toh rok lo inko. This is so distracting , his mere presence make my concentration fly out of the window and now here he is so close to me , standing brushing his thumb on my lips and asking what am I doing.

"Baby where lost, thinking about me." he pulled my face closer to his by holding my chin.

"No- no where" I replied with so much difficulty, his breath is mingling with mine. Hot and minty with chocolate and nuts. I'm on the kitchen counter sitting with my legs crossed then also he is taller than me, he stands infront of me and looks so much sundar. And it reminds me of our hot kiss session which we share on the reception day. That kiss was so hot and demanding , I loved it. The way his lips feel on mine , I still remember the feeling. He was kissing me with so much passion, the roughness was the indication of his possessive love, his hand feels like heaven on my body, his lips were my Amrit which I drank happily. Just the thought of him kissing me, do something to my lower region. My lips parted on their own inviting him but he wants to torture me and our closeness doesn't helping either. His effect on me is like  a forest fire, one can never escape from it. Just like I can't escape him, not that I want to.

"Why haven't you slept yet"

"I wanted to-to eat ice-ice cream"

"Or you were waiting for me"

"You're so full of yourself ha-ha-ha why would I wait for you" I chuckled to hide the truth that yes I was waiting for you.

"Dinner, you must be hungry right. Wait I'll reheat the food" he stares at me for a good two whole minutes and then just hummed and went to his room , I mean our.

I arranged the table, heated the food, water is already there, juice checked. Now I'm waiting for the lov-, for the, for Mateo. After sometime he came wearing a casual tshirt and lowers. He looks hot in anything he wears, how can a person look so good all the time. God has really invested his time making him.

"What would you like to eat sir?" I asked trying to make his mood good. I know mafia things are very stressful. So I'm just trying to make his day a little awful.

"Are you on the menu" a smirk playing on his lips, not me blushing.

"No. We have other things -"

"Ohh you broke my heart ouch , it hurts here" he cried out loud putting his hand on his chest I can't help but laugh out loud, he is a total drama.

"Enough Mateo now let's eat" I tried to control my laughter and serve us dinner.

"Why two plates?" He asked with a straight face and soft voice.

"You don't want me to eat" I said in a sad voice and lowered my head. A little teasing won't harm.

"Baby, look at me" he pulled my face up "It's your home, do what the ever you want. Eat , sleep, change the curtains or paint the house, break it or build it. It's your home. I'm just asking you haven't you eaten dinner hmm?" Shit why he is like this with me, why so soft. He make me feel so good , so safe and so loved.

"I was just-you know-I can't eat without you and let's eats" I really don't wanna admit that I was waiting for him since yesterday and didn't had my food because I was dying worrying about him.

"Ohh so you were worried about me and was waiting for me" my head spin at the speed of light, I'm surprised my neck bone didn't fractured. How the hell he knows.

"Don't look at me like that,  I know you" he laughed. He laughed. His laughter is like a current to my body. His smile,  his laugh brings an another sence of peace to me.

"Let's eat and then you'll get punishment" he said while feeding me. What punishment. What did I do.

"So you think you didn't do anything." He said while feeding me another morsel. Ohh fuck did I said that out loud .

"Yes sweetheart, you did. Now answer me why haven't you eaten since yesterday" his voice soft,  a cute smile is playing on his lips. Dimples. His dimples are on display but I didn't ignore the tightness of his voice.

"Hmm no Mateo no Food, my slogan. How is it" I asked while eating another bite from his hand. Ohh the food taste heaven from his hand.

"She is crazy" he whispered but I heard it.

"Yes she is , for you" I flirted and he blushed. He is blushing and I too can't control my smile either.

"Just be ready for the punishment baby"  his eyes darkened, a playful grin is proudly sitting on his lips. His eyes never leave mine while he eats his food but I feel like  he is eating me. Fuck his eyes. My heart raced, cheeks heated up and something ached on my lower region. What are you doing to me Mateo.
