Tale of Two Lovebirds

Chapter 43

"What is the meeting about?" Ranveer asked Deepika from the foot of the bed, where he sat watching her clad in a robe, fresh out of the shower and about to start getting ready.

"I'm not sure, Ria lost the letter the teacher sent for us." Deepika said and he chuckled.

"That is suspicious! Did she get in trouble? Every time my mom got called to school was because I was in deep trouble..." Ranveer said remembering his fun school days. They were fun for him, for his parents surely a headache.

Deepika smiled picturing the mischievous little boy she's seen in his mother's photo albums getting in trouble. "No, I don't think so..." She explained as she grabbed a bottle of body lotion from the dresser and started applying it to her arms. "Luckily, you married me so our kids' mischievousness is a little watered-down."

Now it was his turn to smile. "What are you talking about? I've heard a lot about you from your mom and dad..." He said teasing her.

"That was before school!" She reiterated. "I was always behaved... Even now." She pursed her lips in order not to laugh and then lifted a foot to the edge of the bed so she could apply lotion to her legs.

"Let me help you with that..." He said quickly scooting closer, his hands reaching her leg before he even reached for the lotion.

"Noo... You're going to make me late for the meeting." She knew her still-mischievous husband a little too well and yet she didn't do anything to stop his hands from running up and down her calf. He looked up at her with a naughty smile and leaned closer, kissing her knee. "Ranveer. Seriously."

"What? It's just a kiss..." He said with a wink and she shook her head, smiling and avoiding looking at him again. She headed to the closet then and he followed her.

"You're distracting me!" She whined and he laughed, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind and kissing her neck.

"You're too distracting. I can't get enough of you, baby." He whispered without letting her go.

"Shh, no! Go back to sleep." She said patting his hands and he only hugged her closer.

"You woke me up." He blamed her.

"It's ten already! I need to change, help me chose what to wear." She said trying to divert his attention.

"It all looks great on you." He said with a shrug.

"Ranveer!" He's impossible...

"Give me a kiss and I let you go."

"One only." She tried to negotiate.

"One." He agreed.

"Just one."

"Just one."

She turned around with a smile and his lips soon found hers, his arms still around her. He was such a good kisser that it was difficult for her to stick to her own words. It was just one kiss but nobody said anything about length, hands and tongues. She pulled away before it was too late and he apologized with a small smile, aware of how irresistible he is to her as well.

"How long is this meeting?" He asked making her shake her head again.

"Why don't you come with me, Mr. Sexy? The teachers will be happy to see you." She teased and that sure made his smile grow bigger.

"And Dhruv?" He had a day off and was supposed to stay home with the baby.

"We'll bring him too." She reasoned. It didn't sound like a bad idea at all, their baby boy was the best behaved baby they ever met. He got his papa's looks and his mommy's calm personality - if it wasn't too early to tell.
