Amortentia | drabble series

• 33 •

Starting off my welcome back to Wattpad with a drabble that's way too long to be a drabble. Ah, how much I missed writing something that wasn't an academic paper (and didn't make me want to kill myself)!

As a knock resonated on the wooden door of his home office, Shivaay called out a distracted "Come in". Seconds later, his lovely wife walked in, looking like a blooming rose in the blush-pink chiffon kurti she was wearing. Shivaay smiled up at her from his chair, the important email he was typing just a second ago all but forgotten. To his surprise, Annika came and sat down right on his lap.

"Hi," She murmured against his jaw. Shivaay looked at her quizzically. It was usually he who initiated these random bursts of romance and by the look in her beautiful eyes, he could tell she was up to something. Seducing him was her number-one way of getting anything she wanted.

"Hello to you," Shivaay replied with an amused smile. Annika was now playing with his tie, her feet propped up against one of the arms of his revolving chair while leaning her back against the other. She was like a kitten curled up on his lap, Shivaay thought with a fond smile. His Billi.

"What's up, babe?" 

"We're going to watch the movie at 5, no?" Annika asked. The family was going to watch Endgame that had just come out in the theatres today.

"Yeah, of course. I'm just trying to finish my work early for that." Saying that Shivaay turned to his laptop again, typing away even as Annika kept sitting atop him.

"Can Rudra come?" Annika mumbled after a while, so soft that Shivaay almost didn't hear her. He frowned.

"Of course not, darling. He has his final exams going on, for God's sake! And didn't he cry enough about it to me that now he's sent you?"

"He didn't send me," Annika scowled. "I just want him to come. It'll be no fun without him, Shivaay. And think about it, if he doesn't watch now, he'll get so many spoilers by the time his exams are over!"

"...and that's worse than failing his exams?"

"Oh pfft, he won't fail. It's just a matter of 4 hours, Shiv. He'll study hard the whole night, pakka!"

"Nope," Shivaay was adamant. But his wife was no less.

"Baby, please please please please?" With every 'please', she peppered kisses along his jawline, tracing his hard chest with her own soft hands. Shivaay closed his eyes. This was pure blackmailing. "I'll do anything you want, promise."

"Anything?" Shivaay asked, now interested. Pushing his laptop away, he turned to properly face his wife. Annika nodded, although apprehensive.

"Fine, Rudra can come," He said, and Annika let out a squeal, hugging him tightly. "But in return, you, missus, will finally have to wear that apparently 'outrageous piece of clothing' that I got for you last week."

Even as Annika gasped and cursed herself, she knew there was no getting out of this. Oh, the things she had to do for her Rudy!
