Best friends?

Chapter14~Revelations~

It was a bright morning and a  weekend that is cherry on the top, birds chirping and two people were sleeping forgetting the world.

The sun peeked through the curtains which made nandini stir in her sleep. She rubbed her eyes and opened them with great difficulty and found herself trapped between manik's arms.

He was holding her from her waist and their legs were entangled. Nandini was fully awake now and she woke up with a jerk making him stir a little.

"Manik you just drooled all over my pillow." She shouted so loud that he woke up.

"Ew! I have drool on my hair too like seriously." She said looking at him and made a disgusted face. She stated at him with angry looks.

That's how real life is. We have drool on our pillows, bad breath and messy hair which gives us a zombie look unlike those sickening cheesy movies where people have perfect hair and makeup in the morning. Because real life is not perfect.

"You look cute." He complimented while putting his head on his hand where his weight was supported by his elbow.

"No more cuddling for you." She said with a final tone and he made a bad face.

"Sugarplum please its not a big deal. You fart on my face all the time." He defended himself to remove the ban from no cuddling.

Nandini shook her head at his ways to pursue her. Cuddling is mostly a girl thing but manik is the one who lives for cuddling. He loves to cuddle with her and doesn't care what others think.

"Fine" She mumbled and a big smile broke on manik's face.

Nandini went to bathroom to freshen up and manik followed her.

"Ab susu karne bhi saath aaoge tum." She said making an annoyed face.

"I thought nahane mein help karoonga main tumhari." He smirked.

"Gross manik get out." She yelled and pushed him out of the bathroom. Manik burst out laughing at her reaction and she smiled a little hiding from him.

Because it was so long since she smiled genuinely.

Nandini quickly got out of the bathroom after brushing her teeth to get her clothes.

"My turn." Manik shouted from afar and the next thing she knew he was in the bathroom.

She marched towards the door and started banging it.

"Manik Malhotra get out I need to shower I'm getting late. I'm not unemployed unlike you." She yelled while banging the door.

"Nope not happening. You can chill for now. See you in a while." He said and the next thing he switched on the shower much to her annoyance.

A forever later.

"I hate you." She whisper yelled as soon as manik came out of the shower with an intoxicating smell which hit nandini's nostrils making her weak. He was bared chest with a towel hanging low on his waist.

Manik took steps towards her and she just looked away from him. He reached near her and leaned to her ears. She immeditely closed her eyes in anticipation.

"Nah! You love me." He whispered ever so slowly which made her shudder.

He came near her and she was looking into his eyes not able to look away.

Before he can move further something stopped him.

"One more step and I will pull your towel and I'm not even scared of you." Nandini said with her hand on his towel which was wrapped around his waist. Her eyes challenged him and he has a scared expression because she can actually do it.
