Keerthi groaned in frustration, finding a dress for her date. No. Dinner.
A black dress caught her attention,as she took it from her closet. It was too bold for a first date,she thought.
But she wanted to look hot tonight.
She threw caution out, as she went to change. She was glad her parents in law and Vihan weren't at home. It would have been embarrassing facing them with her attire.
She wanted to stun her husband though.
Keerthi stood in front of her closet too shy to go out, where Vikram was waiting.
"Are you going to come out today?", Vikram hated waiting.
Keerthi woke up to find herself nestled in her husband's embrace,one broad arm around her shoulders, and the other under his head. Their bare legs were tangled under the sheets,making Keerthi's cheeks flame. Her skirt had ridden up,making her almost naked below waist,save her panties and the sheets covering her.Her hand disappeared under the covers,to pull her skirt down only to realize it had turned upwards ,with Vikram's hand resting on it.Keerthi's heart hammered at their position. She strangely felt fine though,just shy.Throwing her inhibitions away,she traced her husband's chest with her palm,his chest hair tickling her palm,feeling the smooth dip above his chest,just below his collarbone, going up tracing his neck and sharp jaw.
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"
It was just after five when the couple reached home. Keerthi jumped into the shower immediately. She felt the soothing water wash over her as she hummed to herself. She felt good spending time with her husband,despite minor disagreements. They had spent some time with the family after dinner, before retiring to their room,calling it a night. Keerthi gazed at her shorts longingly. Though she was desperate to wear them,she didn't want Vikram to feel she was trying anything. She wasn't. It was just too hot. She felt like wearing shorts now was like a huge green signal banner. Though she was fine with it now,she didn't want Vikram to think she was seducing him. Keerthi snorted,Seduc
Keerthi yawned as she switched the TV on. She wanted to keep herself occupied while she waited for her husband. It was after eleven thirty already. She adjusted the cushion under her shoulders, shuffling random channels. Vikram was surprised to see his wife asleep on the couch, with the television running when he came home. He switched the TV off, as he went to take a warm shower. He changed quietly, flexing his arms as he sat in front of his wife,on the table in front of the couch,observing her. He tucked a loose strand behind her ear, getting a clearer view of her face,his finger tips lingering on her ear lobule. He didn't feel tired though it was past midnight. He stared at his wife for a while more,when he saw her moving her neck,scrunching her face.
Keerthi blinked her eyes open to find her husband smiling at her,making her lips curve upwards automatically."Good morning",she whispered."Morning",Vikram yawned,pulling his wife closer.Keerthi flushed, shuffling towards her husband. She felt sleepy,it was too cozy and comfortable.Vikram smiled,running a hand through his wife's hair as she molded her form into his arms, fitting perfectly,as he held her tight,drawing lazy circles on her back.Keerthi sighed after sometime,they had to get up,or they would be late. She looked up to find her husband staring into space, probably thinking something. She placed a hand on her husband's chest, silently asking him to look at her.
Keerthi woke up to the sound of bath running,as she sat up ,yawning."Why are you getting ready so early?""I have to leave early", Vikram tilted his chin up, wearing a tie around his neck."Okay", Keerthi replied, getting up to freshen up.Vikram was arranging some papers in his laptop bag when his eyes fell on the gift wrapped item. He took it out, quickly placing it his closet, knowing Keerthi didn't mess with his things usually.He went back to checking the papers,arranging them in a folder,as he zipped his laptop bag,when he heard his wife walk out, getting ready.Vikram had long left their room when Keerthi made way downstairs
Keerthi was about to leave for work when she heard her mother in law,"I forgot to inform you Keerthi. We have to go to Mrs. Roy's place today. It's their house warming ceremony. She is a good friend of ours. She insisted you and Vikram be there. Try to be a little early today?""Oh. What time Mom?""Around three Okay for you?"Keerthi tried hard not to let her thoughts be seen on her face,"Sure Mom."Keerthi was an employee,not the employer. Did her mother in law randomly expect Keerthi to be home early without any intimation at work?At times, Keerthi hated being a married woman.She despised going to these functions. Now,she was o
"You have a beautiful daughter in law Sakshi",Mrs. Oberoi said.Keerthi gave the elder lady a polite smile as she stood next to her mother in law, breathing a sigh of relief when she got away from her husband.Keerthi wondered how he could make her feel diverse emotions. She loved his company some times,and at times,she couldn't stand him.She switched her thoughts off , getting into a conversation with the ladies,who were determined to include her in their talks.Keerthi's jaw ached from smiling so long,it was getting difficult to be polite and smiling. And she almost tripped on her saree three times already. She just wanted to go home. She ate silently,hoping to leave after dinner.
