Journey

Confessions

Neil was really exhausted by the time they came back. He walked into the room but Avni was nowhere to be spotted. Neil then glanced at the door, that lead to the beach from their room. There Avni was, walking towards the sea. Neil quickly followed her. "Everyone should learn from you, on how to give mini heart attacks." Neil complained. "I just wanted to check this place out.. I'm sorry." Neil gave her a smile.
They walked along the beach in silence. Neil suddenly caught her hand. Avni turned to him. She could not comprehend the emotions on his face. "Avni I'm scared. I'm scared already. I know it doesn't make sense because it's been a few days only. But I am. I am afraid to lose you. Afraid that we might not get another moment like this. I'm not sure if you are happy with this marriage. But I am. I cannot imagine a better wife for me, than you. I... I am in love with you!" The last line came in a whisper, barely audible for Avni. She was startled with mixed emotions. She didn't realize that tears were rolling down her cheek. She felt completed. She felt as if someone pulled her out from drowning in life. She have had the most toughest trials in life. Hence she never hoped to have someone who would love her selflessly. But now she's tired. She does not have courage to face life alone. "I'm sorry— I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry." All of a sudden Neil turned around to leave. But Avni hugged her from behind, which froze his steps. She was trembling while she could not stop herself from crying. Neil let her linger in the moment, spill out all the burden in her heart. "Enough now. I wont ever let you down. Never let you leave, or these tears to leave from your eyes." He treated her like a baby. Slowly cupped her face and kisses on her eyes. Avni moved closer to Neil, who tightened his hands around her. Slowly Neil moved to her cheeks, lingering his lips there. Both their breaths deepening. Slowly, yet carefully Neil quickly pecked on her lips. Pulling away slowly to check on her reaction. Avni had her eyes closed. She could not process what was happening, but one thing she is sure. Her wants were now mutual as his. Wanting to experience and explore the new feelings she discovered, eversince she have seen Neil. Now he's her lawful husband. There shall not be any boundaries between them.
Neil again crashed his lips on Avni's. It was as soft as he imagined. He was shocked when she started to respond. They were both drowning in the moment. Avni draped her fingers in Neil's hair, while he tightened the embrace. They were forced to move apart, because of the lack of oxygen. Neil caressed Avni's face, ever so gently, and lifted her into his arms-not leaving the eye lock. With every step taken towards the room, their heart beat increased. Neil put Avni down and didn't waste a moment. His fingers were dancing on her back. While his lips working on her neck. Avni gasped with the quick movement, when Neil turned her around to face him. He again kissed on the lips. It didn't take long until their clothes were scattered all over the floor. Neil carried Avni to bed, gently placing her down and moving closer. Avni can now feel the weight of his body on her.
His lips were lingering on her earlobe now, moving slowly to her neck. She let out a gasp, which made Neil more comfortable to carry on. His hands tirelessly explored her body. It was a drug to him! Avni responding to each movement of him, and their souls became one.

Neil caressed the navel of Avni, who was fast asleep in his arms. Exhausted, but so content. Life does not become easy quiet yet. His sixth sense says there's a lot to discover about her. There's an unknown hollowness in her eyes. Which he have to fill up with his love. Neil slowly placed a kiss on her neck, holding her more tightly in his arms. Avni stirred in her sleep and hugged him back. The full moon light glowing on their skin, the wind blowing through the open windows and beach door. The only audible sound was that of the waves and the steady breath of the sleeping souls.
