The Love In Marriage

29-

Vikram saw his wife emerging out of the washroom in the same clothes she had worn yesterday as she fussed around the room.

Keerthi frantically searched for her boots around. She just didn't want to show her legs off. The intimacy with her husband in the morning left her too embarrassed.

Vikram was disappointed to see his wife's legs covered when he glanced at her. She still looked flustered. He gave her some time to get over it as he made way to the washroom.

He came out to see his wife arranging breakfast on the small table next to the couch.

"Oh. The breakfast is here", Vikram said as he approached her. He was famished,"I had ordered for you. Hope it's fine."

"Yeah. It's cool",Keerthi dug into her breakfast.

They lazed on the couch after breakfast, wondering what to do.

"Do you want to go somewhere?", Vikram offered.

"I don't know", Keerthi answered.

They had grown up in the city. It was weird for them to go for sight seeing.

"Maybe we can hit the mall then. We'll do some shopping", Vikram shrugged.

Keerthi pondered on the idea. It wasn't so bad. They could kill some time.

"Okay. Cool", Keerthi said as she went to get her jacket.

She eyed it distastefully now. It was too hot outside. Keerthi would melt in it.

"Just ditch the jacket. Leave it in the car", Vikram advised.

Keerthi wasn't new to wearing a sleeveless dress a few inches above her knee. She just found it weird wearing it around her husband. Though she was relieved he didn't question her choice of clothing.

Her father never did.

She smiled in happiness thinking she could switch to shorts at night. She felt somewhat comfortable with him now. And her husband particularly didn't have a problem with the choice of her clothing.It was summer. She didn't want to wear heavy clothing.

Vikram pulled his wife towards him, wrapping an arm around her waist. "I hope you are smiling thinking of me",he flirted.

"You wish", Keerthi laughed, placing her hands on her husband's shoulders.

"I do", Vikram smirked.

"Nope", Keerthi shook her head.

"Want me to change that now?",Vikram smiled smugly.

Keerthi laughed."You can change it some other time. You said we'll do some shopping today. Let's go",she patted his shoulders.

Vikram released his wife,"Come on ",he held her hand.

Keerthi liked how her husband's hand enveloped hers,as he held her hand protectively, walking into a random store in the mall.

Keerthi skimmed through a few tops randomly, checking if she liked anything. Vikram was bored,just walking along his wife's side. He didn't exactly enjoy shopping. He just wanted to spend some time with his wife,not wanting to go home. He looked around, looking through the clothes to find any he would like to see his wife in.

Keerthi hummed,picking a few tops. She asked Vikram to wait as she went into the trial room.

Vikram walked a little to the inside,only to find ladies' nightgowns and intimates.

He quickly turned around , wanting to get out of there when his eyes fell on a red negligee. He found himself getting hard just imagining his wife in it. He walked towards the billing, quickly buying it. He didn't want to carry it with him though. His wife would question,and he wasn't sure how she would react if he told her he bought her a negligee. There was a long time for it. He hoped she used it in the future though,near future.
