Now ? No! What will your parents say ?" I gawped in shock

"Well we don't want you to die out of hunger and about my parents we can always sneak out. What say ?"

I have always been this adventurous kid my entire life though the word 'sneak out' was dangerously tempting, I restrained myself by listening to the conscience and politely ignored his offer. Ha, I do have self-control. I'm quite proud of myself, but man I'm starving to death, will this guy feed or not ?

"Okay wait I'll be back in a jiffy" he left the room.

I was draining the water bottle in the meanwhile to assuage my starving stomach.

He returned with a plate of noodles and a plate of scrambled egg.

"Ta da!! Here is your extremely late dinner my dear wife" he served it like a professional chef.

I rubbed my hands together in anticipation, I swallowed the first morsel and then I started to gobble them up like a caveman, right after licking the plate clean I realized I was being watched, Kartik was looking at me, smiling all the while.

"What's so funny ?" I asked annoyingly.

"I think I love you" he said smiling, I was shell shocked and as a result I could hardly open my mouth in response "I mean …. I love the way you eat without a care in the world. It's ….. beautiful, kinda cute" He stammered and corrected himself in ekdam.

To avoid the awkwardness I spoke again "So you have some skills eh ?"

"Flattered aren't you ? Husbands who can cook delicious food are sexy aren't they ?" he was gushing over his trivial culinary skills.

"Arghhh it was just a Maggi and a scrambled egg don't flatter yourself" I rolled my eyes "Even a kid could do a better job"

"You're just jealous of my abilities"

"Okay I'm already asleep" I laid on my side facing away from him.

I truly am flattered, they say the way to a man's heart is through stomach but it just happened in reversal in our case.

I looked back slightly to have a good view of him, he was lying on his back with his eyes closed. The prominent square jaw with a three days old stubble was near perfection and his playful eyes could mesmerize anybody. When I was drooling over his biceps he spoke with his eyes closed

"I know I'm delicious love, but let a man have some rest"

"You wish" I turned around quickly which made him laugh in an exotic way, it was intoxicating.

Damn man he is hot, smart and funny. I think I'm in trouble, I might just fall in love with my husband.
