Ashaangi SS Bewitched

Chapter Twenty Eight

A day later, Ashwin slowly closed the main door behind him and walked inside Dhanalakshmi's house. It was eleven thirty in night. Saradha slept with Dhanalakshmi in her room while Sivaangi was upstairs.

Ashwin came home half an hour ago and was supposed to be in his room. But he had other plans. He quietly went upstairs, holding the bag in his hand behind his bag. He walked to Sivaangi's room and knocked.

On hearing the knock, puzzled, Sivaangi looked up from her mobile. Noticing the time, she expected it to be Ashwin. Instinctively a smile bloomed on her face. She hurried on her feet and opened the door.

"Ashwinn!" Sivaangi whispered yelled, her excitement visible on her face.

"Ma, modha ulla varen. Thallu" Ashwin looked back once before looking at Sivaangi with a smile.

(I'll come inside first. Move)

Sivaangi paved way for Ashwin to walk in and close the door behind her. She saw him sitting down on her bed.

"Inneram inga yenna panringa?" Sivaangi asked walking towards Ashwin.

(What are you doing here, at this time?)

"Yean ma, unna pakalam nu vandha ipdi kekura?" Ashwin blinked at Sivaangi making her chuckle.

(I came here to see you and you are asking like this?)

"Haiyoo, adhu illa Ashwineyy. Koncham munna dhana veetuku vandhen nu sonninga. Adhan inneram inga yepdi vandhinga? Yenna achu?"

(Heyy, I didn't mean it like that Ashwineyy. You said you came back home half an hour ago. That's why I asked how you came here. What happened?)

"Onum agala. Unn kuda time spend panlam nu vandhen. Aprm" Ashwin paused extending the cover to Sivaangi who stood in front of him, "Indha"

(Nothing happened. I just came here to spend some time with you. And...Here)

Curious, Sivaangi got the cover from him and as soon as she looked inside, a wide smile broke out, "Pori urunda!

Ashwin mirrored Sivaangi's smile and with his palms on the bed, he leaned back. Just this morning when they were watching TV with Dhanalakshmi, Sivaangi mentioned that she loves Pori urunda. (puffed rice balls sweetened with jaggery)

Sivaangi has already opened the packet and took a bite. She squealed and appreciated the taste before stepping towards Ashwin. He smiled when she sat down on his lap and he tightened his hold around her while she leaned against him.

"Nalla iruka?" Ashwin asked slowly rocking themselves.

(Is it good?)

"Yess! Too good" Sivaangi beamed and declared, "Ini idhu dhan enoda fav midnight snack"

(Here after this is my fav midnight snack)

Ashwin chuckled and hummed.

"Neengalum sapdunga" Sivaangi turned her head and extended the packet to Ashwin.

(Here, you also eat)

"Nee sapdu ma. I'm full" Ashwin patted Sivaangi's head.

(You eat. I'm full)

The duo spoke about their day and work as Sivaangi ate few more pieces of puffed rice balls. She stood up from his lap and placed the packet back inside cover. Placing the cover on the study table, she had few sips of water before standing in front of Ashwin.

"Thookam varalaya ongaluku?" Sivaangi asked threading her fingers through his hair.

(Aren't you sleepy?)

"Pathiya. Saptadhum ena thorathura" Ashwin pursed his lips making Sivaangi giggle.

(Look. Once you are done eating you are shooing me)

"Heyyy, apdi lam illa. Late achu la. Ongaluku tired ah illaya nu dhan ketaen" Sivaangi cupped Ashwin's face but she gasped when he wounded his arms around her waist, pulled her closer and rested his head against her chest, making her heart skip a beat.

(Heyy, nothing like that. It's getting late. I asked because you must be tired)

Within couple of second, the initial shock passed and Sivaangi hugged Ashwin's head. She gulped and her toes curled when she felt his hot breath against her. He loosens his hold a little and looked up at her.

"Naa unn kuda inum koncham neram irukava? Amma, Ammachi lam thoonguranga. Edaila yendhrichalum mela vandhu paaka matanga. So?" Ashwin looked at Sivaangi expectantly.

(Can I be with you for some time? Amma and grandma are sleeping. They won't wake up in middle and come up to check anyway. So?)

Spend a little more time with Ashwin? How can Sivaangi say no to that? She smiled and nodded her head. He smiled back at her and released his hold from her.

"Let's watch a movie?" Sivaangi asked picking her laptop.

"Sure" Ashwin said crawling on Sivaangi's bed. He waited for her to come. She quickly set the laptop on the bed and switched off the lights before joining him. She yelped and giggled when he pulled her towards him.

"Irunga, padam vachukuren" Sivaangi sat up followed by Ashwin.

(Wait, let me put on the movie)

They decided to watch a romantic comedy. Once the movie started Sivaangi made herself comfortable next to Ashwin, who had his arm wrapped around her. They discussed about the plot and watched the movie. Slowly their legs tangled with one another but they didn't care, soaking in each other's warmth.

Sivaangi gulped when the movie started heating up. Through her peripheral vision, she saw Ashwin whose eyes were fixed on the screen but can see it affected him by the way his Adam's apple moved.

Soft gasp escaped from Sivaangi's lips as her eyes automatically went to Ashwin when the leads of the movie started making out. Equally affected, his eyes found hers. Their eyes had one thing in common; yearning, for each other.

Ashwin cleared his throat and sat up. Sivaangi watched him drink the water but then her eyes traced his features and settled on his chest mole, peeking out from his t-shirt. He was dressed in a yellow t-shirt and black tracks.

"Let's watch the rest tomorrow" Ashwin said in a deep voice and once Sivaangi nodded, he closed the laptop and kept it on the floor.

"Padunga" Sivaangi said before Ashwin could stand. She wanted to be near him now.

(Lie down)

Without a word, Ashwin laid down next to Sivaangi. In the room that was lighted only with the moon light coming from the balcony, they laid side by side; their mind racing with thousand thoughts and clearly, few of them aren't pure.

Sivaangi chewed her lips as she moved her hands and placed it on top of Ashwin's hand. He immediately held her hand and tried to entwine their fingers but she tugged his hand. He let her tug him and turned when she pulled him towards her.

Ashwin sighed shakily as now his arm was over Sivaangi, resting above her abdomen. She was excited but also scared. Nervousness was still there but the overwhelming feelings made her go crazy. Knowing that he feels the same turned her bold.

Sivaangi turned, facing Ashwin and taking the cue, he turned. She gasped softly when he wounded his arm around her and pulled her closer. She was already lying on his arm. So, she was sandwiched between him.

Although Sivaangi felt a little crushed, she wrapped her arm around Ashwin's arm, wanting to feel him against her. She rested her head against his chest and he softly caressed her hair. They panted, trying to get accustomed to this new level of intimacy.

Couple of minutes later, they found themselves comfortable being in each other's arms. Sivaangi pulled back a little while still being in Ashwin's arms and touched his cheek. He stiffened for a second before relaxing in her touch.

Gaining confidence, Sivaangi caressed Ashwin's cheek before tracing her index finger on his neck. She felt him shudder under touch which only made her trace her finger up along his cheek and slowly inched towards his lips.

Ashwin grabbed Sivaangi's waist when he felt her finger tracing his lips. She chuckled when he took her finger in his lips and pulled back saying, "Ashwineyy!"

Chuckling, Ashwin softly caressed Sivaangi's cheek in the back of his palm. They can see each other, thanks to the moon light.

"Soft ah iruka" Ashwin's voice dropped octaves lower, his eyes lost in Sivaangi's.

(You are soft)

Sivaangi felt a tug in the bottom of her stomach as she gulped and looked at Ashwin before meekly saying, "Neengalum dhan" making him chuckle softly.

(You, too)

This time Ashwin traced his finger on Sivaangi's face, trailing from the corner of her lips to her neck before softly grabbing her cheek.

"I should leave" Ashwin breathed heavily, "If no-"

"I don't want you to" Sivaangi pushed herself against Ashwin, her hand cupping his cheek, "Kiss me"

Ashwin's heart thudded crazily. It was as if that was something he wanted to hear. He looked at Sivaangi, grabbing her cheek and softly caressing the corner of her lips with his thumb, "Are you sure?"

Sivaangi sighed softly and gulped before leaning close. Ashwin found only love and desire for him in her eyes. The next second, he closed the gaps between their lips and brushed his lips against hers.

Ashwin pulled back with the gentle brush but Sivaangi leaned forward and pecked his lips. Their breath hit on each other's face as they closed their eyes. This time their lips moved in a sync, finding each other's solace. He pressed his lips softly on hers, sucking her petals.

They kisses turned sloppy as they tried to pull each other closer. She threaded her fingers through his hair and fisted his man before pushing herself towards him. His one arm was around her while the other ran up and down her arms before grabbing her face and kissing her.

They were breathing heavily when they broke the kiss. They breathed each other's air and he leaned in again, taking her lips in his. Her moans were lost in his kiss. He pulled back and rested his forehead against her; they both were breathing heavily.

She whined and held his collar when he was about to get off but he gripped her palm and hovered over her, resulting in her loosing her hold on him. She gulped down her nervousness as he placed his hands either side of her, careful enough not to crush her.

He was shocked when she tugged his t-shirt and she looked at him. One look and he knew what was she asking for. He tilted his head at her and saw the same look. He sat up and quickly threw away his t-shirt but kept his vest on and hovered over her.

He closed his eyes when he felt her fingers tracing his chest mole. He pulled back his groan when she caressed his chest hair and trailed her fingers up his neck before pulling him closer.

He leaned on her completely but didn't crush her and nuzzled into the crook of her neck. She gasped when his lips tasted her earlobe, breathing heavily in her ear. His soft nibbles on her ear made her want him more.

Grabbing his face, she pulled him back and kissed him. He kissed her back, grazing his teeth on her soft plumps and sucked her. She moaned into his lips, paving way for him to shove his tongue into her sweet cavern.

He broke their kiss and trailed kisses down her neck and sucked on her collarbone while she held his head and arched her into him. Before he could taste her cleavage, he pulled back and rested his forehead on her arm and breathed heavily.

Sivaangi breathed heavily and softly patted Ashwin's head. They stayed like this until they composed themselves and he laid down next to her. They laid staring at the ceiling before Sivaangi moved and kept her head on his arms. He turned facing her and kissed her forehead.

A comfortable silence dominated the room before Ashwin broke it, "Ipo sollu, naa gentleman ah?"

(Tell me now, am I a gentleman?)

Ashwin laughed earning a smack from Sivaangi followed by a "Ashwineyy"
