Comfort (part 1)

He slept peacefully that night. But I couldn't sleep much. I was making coffee for him as I knew he would wake up soon. I picked up some stuff off the floor while he slept. 'Why do I keep falling in love with you?'

He binds me with love. I know it. I can imagine love with him. I took a deep sigh and went to pick the newspaper. I sat down with our coffees started to read something about meditation. In no time He woke up.

"What are you doing here this morning?" He said in a chirpy voice. "Yeah... right I was here whole night" I said throwing the newspaper on his face. "Whole night?" He asked as I handed him his coffee.

"Yeah and I am one of those who won't poke unless you want to tell the problem so when you feel comfortable with me... You can tell" I said looking somewhere else. "Aise kyu ho rhi h... I would have told you..." He said looking at me with soft eyes.

I took a deep breath. "No seriously... I just need you happy and healthy. I don't care if you want to tell me about whatever shit is going in your head. It's your Work from home no... We can spend some time together right?" I said cupping his face.

"We can... Actually I am free this week I took a leave... We can have this whole week to ourselves problem is your college and job" He said leaning against the couch. I smiled and picked the newspaper.

"1st we need to clean the house and have breakfast" He nodded and scooted close to me. "Mom, thinks you are sick. After cleaning I need to go home to change..." His head rested on my shoulder and that's how I knew he didn't wanna talk.

I stretched my legs and tilted my head towards him. it was so silent. I thought now at least he knows I am with him. I kissed his hand and he was taken aback.

A great thing about him. 11 months of us together and we have only been this much intimate. And this is just the 3rd time I kissed his hand.

"Wow..." He said and he hugged me more like squeezed me. I slapped his arms and he let go. I stood up pulling him with me. I put the newspaper and he took both of our mugs to kitchen.

I put my phone to charger and called Mom from his phone to tell her I will be there by 10. I took a mop and told him to do the dishes. We put some music for time pass. After I finished the rooms and stepped into the living room I felt a hand around my waist and soon a waltz.

That's us... Believe me when I am alone I dance with the mop. Embarrassing... And me being a lover for retro songs I had picked a cute old song. #tuhaiwahi

"Go do the dishes" I deadpanned. "Way to ruin a moment" He said and left. After the cleaning. He took a bath and I looked for some of his sister's clothes. I AM ALLOWED TO WEAR THEM.

Anyways I am going to wear them for 15 minutes drop em home wash them and put them back. After my bath...

"Listen... I am going home to grab my Laptop and everything. Be back in half an hour" I said and picked my purse walking out he pulled me back and where my back faced his chest.

You know I always had this wierd feeling when He used to do this. He picked my hand kissing my finger then pushed my again. "Bye" He said. I shook my head. "Bye" I said and walked out.

While driving I kept on thinking. Was he drunk last night or did he just say stuff out of nowhere... 'Disappointment' I stopped my car and went inside my house.

"Mumma, I am home!" I said. "Okay, beta but I know you tell me to trust you and everything but beta I don't trust boys." She will kill me when she knows.

"Mumma, We have been friends for 9 years (and dating for 11 months)" I said and went to my room to change. I grabbed my laptop and went back to his house.

When I came back I heard the water running in the shower. I picked my laptop studied for sometime and then looked if I had some emails regarding work cause I skipped my work today.

Soon he came and sat besides me. "I lub you" He said and I smiled. I looked at him trying to hide my smile. He knows what I would say... "What's for lunch?" He asked turning on the TV.

"Maybe make more than needed today..." I said. "Then lemme go buy some stuff..." He said throwing his towel on me. I caught it before throwing it on him again.

After our war that towel was hung to be dried. He went to buy stuff when I studied a bit.

'Disappointment'

That word was going in my head when I heard the door open and he came in. "Let's make something come no" He whined pulling my hand. I held his hand tightly and stood up.
