When work becomes routine. Then probably every other day would be the same to workaholics. Those two crazy might be crazy in some level but way too perfectionist in their field. Not to mention more like obsessed with success.
May be that's one of the reason for their bond.
He turned around the bed and tossed his sheets around not finding her near by. He tried really hard to open his eyes to look for her. But he definitely smelt something nice.
With very much difficulty he straddled or more like tracked back to the scent.. It was her of course.
"Plum! What are you doing! I thought today was our day-off. I mean its rare to have these and I don't want you to spend them apart not even a single inch away from me" His warning was so sweet she came in and kissed his cheek.
"Finally you are awake. I thought I had to push you down the stairs to wake you."
"Chodo usse. What's all this mess!? Why are murdering the kitchen like this?!"
"Well its Easter I thought I would make something. I'm already sad that I missed the vigil yesterday doing some pretty unholy things with you so atleast I'll keep up with some traditions."
"Oh really. Ms.Murthy. I dinno you could cook! I mean literally of these few months all I have seen you eat is takeouts..energy drinks... Granola bars.. This is something new and refreshing sight to see"
"Well you are technically correct. I still don't know how to cook. I mean this goop around here started as fudge.. But quite hardened so thought we could eat it as hard chocolate and I duno what it is now"
"Good god woman. What in heaven's name is that thing?!, Nevertheless you smell delicious. Come here. Come here."
She came near him. And gave him a peck.
"Wow you taste delicious too".
''Enough okay Manik! Go bathe and get ready . Lets go to the easter hunt or church or somewhere. I'm tired of being cooped up in this apartment and going back and forth to shifts and our fights!''
''Finally! Mujhe Nandu ki sath date milegi!!''
''what!'' ?!? What does that even mean Manik?!''
''All we have been doing so far is do the afterpart of every single date and we were living like vampires hidden away from sun, i wanna go to brunch with you! My girlfriend!''
''okay loser! Go get ready!'' She screamed at him and started clearing off the trash from the kitchen.
Both were finally off to something new ,their official first date. She dressed in nice sundress which was so unlike her and he was comfortable in his own!
''Its nice'' . ''I mean this is nice. Back at home we hid our relationship and it was quite reasonable for various reasons but here we neednt be afraid of anything! I mean i dont wanna miss out on anything'' she said as she wiped her mouth with the napkin.
''Well technically we did get to know lot about each other when we first met and after whole lotta alcohol down remember! ?
''Yeah manik! The song which played our favourite. And our drunk conversation about neo-classical vs romanticism''
''Yeah B26 the jukebox number! What was that song again!'' ,'' happiness was just outside my window'' he started singing the song.
''Stop Manik! People can see and hear us, you know!'' She hovered over him and threw the cash on the check and pulled him outta the restaurant!''
'' i know ! Crazy times! I miss sneaking around and having fun! Everything seems super straight, now that i can have whatever whenever i want!'', you get what i'm saying'' Manik said.
''Yeah i know! All those adrenAline rushes! Those midnight sexy times! The freakout during shifts! Oh my god! Seems like we have gotten like a old married couple, Manik''
'' i hate being one of the boring ass couple!''
He started laughing.
''You know. This is the first time you ever called us together as a couple''
''Lets head back to some bar and recreate what we did on our first meet''
''Yeah somethings never get old! Like you calling me plum! I thought that was some wierd name you used on every other girl you nail in bar''
''Now i just melt when you call me that manik''
'' same here too! Except for the word Manik when you come with you legs wrapped around me'' he started to pull her legs again!
''Comon manik dont make it yucky! I am talking about being romantic!''
''Well i can be too''
He pulled her close to him and kissed her deep.
''I love this girl!!'' He shouted in the street .
'' and I unfortunately love this clown'' she giggled to the people who were clearly interested at the strange indian couple yelling stuffs in the middle of the road!
The MacRamon bar, few minutes later
Both were almost half drunk and not a care in the world of how they could get home.
''You know manik! I think we both love roleplays''
''What is that now!'' He started giggling.
''I promised some reminiscing old times here! Comon man! Bring your 'A' game!''
'' well last time also lotta tequila were involved! So check on that! And next is me throwing onto you so impulsively that you give in''
''I'm sorry! What now!''
He pulled her so deep in for a kiss that she felt stars flying around her. He started pushing her onto the restroom And locked it from inside.
He was literally on fire and making her beg for him. He pushed her sundress down in one single stroke by pulling out the knot of her halter dress! She stood there all cold. He started marking his territory yet again by giving untimely bruised over her body and the rest is all the known story!
After few minutes they both stepped out of the room to find a bunch of angry full-bladdered ladies to whom they apologised hastily and fled their way back to road!
