Tale of Two Lovebirds

Chapter 23

Deepika took a deep breath as she and Ranveer walked back to their suite. He still had an arm around her and he kissed her cheek once they reached the lift's doors, waiting for them to open. He was being his ever-loving self, completely oblivious of how his co-star's actions annoyed her.

She had to remind herself the reason why they were there; it wouldn't be fair to let his co-star's wandering eyes to ruin their time away together. Plus, it wasn't like Ranveer was leading her on, it wasn't his fault that she "liked" him. She liked him... Just the thought of it made her blood boil. However, the feeling wasn't mutual and that calmed her down. He treated Valentina like he treats all others. She seemed to be the one looking to interact and hang out with him, not the other way around.

So Deepika decided to forget what she saw and not let it get to her. It wasn't worth to get upset over it. It wouldn't be that easy to forget though if it wasn't for her loving husband. They were inside the lift now, all alone. He had an arm around her and kissed her cheek again while trying not to hold her too close; she leaned onto him anyways. "I'm all sweaty," he whispered - she had just taken a shower.

Deepika shrugged. "I don't mind." She said closing her eyes, enjoying the feeling of his breath on her ear. He never smelled bad. She didn't think it could be possible for him to smell bad when he sprayed himself with deodorant and perfume from head to toe all the time. Plus it wasn't like she had never been near him while he's sweating... it didn't gross her out anyway. Nothing about him grossed her out, how could it? She loved him.

Her answer made him hug her tighter. "Why didn't you wait for me?" He whispered again as if they weren't alone in the lift, sniffing her damp hair and loving the clean smell of it. "You could have slept a little longer if you had waited."

Deepika giggled. "Waited for you to shower?" She asked and then felt his lips lightly kiss her ear.

"Yeah..." He whispered again.

He had a point. She couldn't fall back asleep after he left their room to go to the gym so she decided to start her day by taking a shower. "I was hungry..." That too. She was hungry and the sooner she woke up, the sooner breakfast would come.

"You're hungry? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He asked all concerned, no longer whispering.

"I was going to tell you in the room so we can order something." She answered quickly. He seemed to think that feeling hunger was the same thing as starving to death and she wasn't starving at all. She regretted telling him that, as he stopped kissing her. He always worried and wanted her needs and cravings met immediately, which she found incredibly sweet but most of the time it wasn't as big of a deal as he made it out to be.

"Do you want me to go get you something?" He asked and stopped walking, they were already on their floor.

"No, we can order room service. Don't worry, honey. I can wait." She said pulling him by the hand so he resumed walking.

"Are you sure?" He insisted but did continue walking with her. "I don't want you and my baby to starve."

"We're fine. I get hungry before the baby gets hungry." She said with a smile, opening the door.

Hearing that made him smile too and he walked in behind her. "What do you want?" He asked as he reached the phone, ready to order.

"Wait- I don't know!" She didn't know what the hotel offered for breakfast. "Wait!" She exclaimed again as he picked the phone up and called the front desk. They couldn't find a printed menu in their suite so he had them read it over the phone and he repeated everything to her. Deepika smiled throughout the whole thing and kissed him once they chose what they wanted and the call was over.
