Secret Love Story #wattys2017 (COMPLETED)

The Same Page

Kajol-1998

I wake up to find Shah Rukh trying to slip his shoes off quietly with a plastic bag in his hands. I wipe the sleep from my eyes and smile at him as he crawls onto the bed and thrusts his hand into the bag and pulls out a paper bag tossing it to me. I catch it.
"How did you manage to leave and come back?" I laugh fishing out a croissant from the paper bag and taking a chunk from it. Shah Rukh smiles crossing his legs.
"Hotel key?" He points out the obvious. I can't believe we haven't been speaking for almost a whole year and now I've told him I want a baby with him. It just felt so right having his arms around me and I've been thinking a lot about the whole secrecy thing. Maybe if Shah Rukh and I had something which bonded us together like a child then my father would realise Shah Rukh loves me? I also just want Shah Rukh to understand that he means more to me than anything else in this world and that I am prepared to commit to him. Thinking about last night and the way everything just slotted into place makes me blush but there is something totally wrong with Shah Rukh. He's picking imaginary dust off his jeans and keeping his eyes trained on his legs.
"Are you okay?" I ask demolishing my croissant. Shah Rukh opens his mouth and lets out a deep breathe. He reaches for the carrier bag and pulls out a green prescription bag passing it to me. I furrow my eyebrows as I open the top and put my hand in pulling out a small cardboard box. I read the title in my head  and feel my eyebrows furrow even more.
"What's this?" I question Shah Rukh who blushes slightly keeping a straight face.
"It's the morning after pill," he says darting his eyes away from me. I nod my head unsure of why he's bothered to buy it me.
"Okay?" I elongate the word as Shah Rukh starts to chew on his lip.
"I just... You were upset and I feel as though I took advantage of you," he explains awkwardly, "I mean I'm glad you shouted at me because it made me realise what a prick I've been but you were upset when you said you wanted a baby." I slide the box back into the bag and put it on the bedside table. I crawl over to Shah Rukh and sit on my feet my legs folded under me. I place my hands in his and smile at him until he looks me in the eye.
"I love you and want a baby with you whether I'm happy, sad or somewhere in-between," I smile, "plus it was more like I took advantage of you." I blush thinking back to the events of last night. I was upset but I was thinking clearly and my thoughts were telling me to keep hold of Shah Rukh and tell him what I really want from life. I really want to start a family with him whether we are married or not. And there is the possibility that a baby might soften my fathers hard exterior but that is at the back of my mind. I need to get through this week, get back to see my father and work on my dreams with Shah Rukh.
"I second that," he laughs leaning forward to kiss me just as somebody knocks on my hotel door. I purse my lips still smiling as our faces hover close to each other.
"Kajol you're due in hair and make-up?" I hear Karan shout through the door. I bite my bottom lip trying to contain a laugh as I gaze into Shah Rukh's eyes. I guess we are now both on the same page?
"On my way," I call back hearing his footsteps retracting.
"I've always like the name Suhana for a girl," Shah Rukh mumbles before kissing my lips. So we are definitely on the same page.
