13 Reasons Why... I 💓 you

#13

I love you,
Cause you let me steal your clothes!

"Niti have you seem my green jumper?" Parth asked shivering a bit.

"What?" He heard a bit of shuffling and then as if she wasn't even there, she came out and rushed back inside. He caught a side eye glimpse, too vague, but he was certain she did that.

"Seriously, babe have you seen my jumper" he said a bit impatiently, hugging his arms around himself. It wasn't really so cold, but when you were standing half naked at 7:30 in the morning- he supposed that explained why he was in the verge of his teeth chattering.

"I don't know" her voice came out loud from inside the bathroom. "It must be in the closet... or maybe you gave it for laundry" she said.

"Why are you talking from there? What are you even doing in the bathroom with the door open?" He asked frowning.

"Uh I'm... I'm washing my hands" she said and set the tap running as she spoke. She slapped a hand on her face- seriously she couldn't have been more obvious if she tried.

"That was a shit show!" Parth exclaimed frankly.

"Fine, alright I'm coming out. Don't be mad at me" she said stepping out of the bathroom, shivering a little. She had nothing but his jumper on.

"So that's where it went" he said cocking his head and arching an eyebrow.

"Don't make that face" Niti said crossing her arms. "I know I've done this before, which is why you should have guessed, and-"

"And lied about it too, in that same pathetic way that you always do! You're a very bad liar and if you ever had to lie about something big and important, you would, without a doubt get caught" he said with a mix of amusement and hopelessness.

"I'm not planning to be a criminal mastermind, at least for the time being, so you don't worry about me going to jail" she said bluntly but with sacharine sweetness.

"Mocking are we?" He asked. She didn't answer, just smiled thinking about the nonsense they were babbling.

"Anyway so there is a very good reason I put it on" she said, clearing her throat as she felt the blush creep up her cheeks. "So you remember I had this interview coming up?" She asked.

"Uh-huh" Parth replied nodding his head. Of course he did. They'd discussed about it and overall Niti seemed pretty confident.

"Right so I don't... I have just been a ball of nerves since yesterday. I- You noticed didnt you?" She asked seeing realisation hit him.

"I did. I just didn't link it with this" he said sincerely. "You were very confident what happened?" He asked walking up to her and squeezing her shoulders to ease the posture.

"I am still pretty confident I can pull this off... I'm just a tiny weeny bit nervous as well" she admitted.

"You've nothing to be nervous about. You're gonna ace it like always" he said kissing the crown of her head.

"I know. That's what you always say and that's how you always make me feel" she said wrapping her hands around his neck. "And that's why I said there was a very good reason I wore this" she said and he looked confused.

"Which would be" he asked and she wanted to laugh really. He could say all that intelligent, supportive stuff and then be the most dense one can be.

"Cause it smells like you doofus" she mumbled into his chest as she hugged him hard.

"I'm glad I can work the magic" he said pulling away and winking at her.

"But I didn't know you wanted to wear it" she said suddenly realising where this conversation cropped from. "Wait a sec, I'll just" she said pulling at the jumper to take it off.

"No" he said opening the closet to take something out. "I've gotten used to seeing you in my clothes every now and then and I can't say I don't like it. Besides you anyway you look better in them than I do."

"You can wear one of mine but I'm afraid it'll be more of a tank top and less of a sweater on you" she said and he gave a hearty laugh.

"Yeah well we can save the height jokes for tonight" he said, "along with champagne and sex to celebrate your new job" he said cheekily.

"I like the confidence" she said.

"I bet you do as you do everything else about me" he shot back.
