Anusha's POV

The next morning when I woke up, his hand was holding on to my waist pulling my back close to him, the other hand of his was underneath my head and I was using it as my pillow.

Congratulation Anusha! You just found a new pillow.

His head was on my shoulder I could feel his breath fanning my neck sending me chills all over.

Are we... spooning?

Wow ! How fast Anusha!

How do we get in this position?

What really shocked me was I was holding his hand too which was gripped on my waist.

Seems like you were enjoying it too.

Cuddling was the thing I was not very fond of. I hated snuggled up close, for me to sleep only a pillow was required not under my head but under my sprawled arm.

I feel claustrophobic. I need air to breath.

And the realisation hit me when I felt the warmth of his bare chest on my back. Like it wasn't enough for a morning already, there was more his legs tangled with my bare ones.

Shit! I'm just having my sleep shirt on, no shorts underneath. I just remembered.

I tried to free myself from his grip but he made his grip even tighter. My stomach felt under knots.

I sighed and tried once more, ok! One more try. Come on.

He groaned but released me. Ignoring that awkwardly sexy groan, I freed myself.
More my legs from him and quickly sat on the edge of my side of the bed and looked over him.

He looked so innocent while sleeping just exact opposite of how he really is.

Evil!

Naughty!

Cartoon!

But sweet.

Really? I gasped when such words came to my mind. I was shocked of my senses to play such games.

Just when I thought he was still sleeping, a smile crept on his face and he said,
"Good morning"
still with his closed eyes.

My eyes widened but I instantly smiled knowingly he can't see me,
"Good morning".

I got up from the bed and went inside the bathroom.
I looked at myself in the mirror and the kiss came to my mind.

Feeling of those warm lips on mine cold ones. Involuntarily I touched my lips with my hand. Wanted to feel that warmth again.

No!

He has a very different way of expressing how much he missed me. Stupid. Always being touchy.

I closed my eyes but the image of that kiss came flashing. I giggled to myself and went to take a shower.

When I came outside the bathroom wearing some casual dress a blue coloured one shoulder over-sized t-shirt and my grey yoga pants.

I glanced over him and found him working on his laptop.

Seriously?

Working? It's just 8 in the morning.

I stood in front of the mirror and bend my neck sideways drying my wet hair with a towel, I realized a pair of eyes on me. It was him.

Blinking my eyes several times I tried to avoid his gaze.

I was in mid process of drying my hair when involuntarily I started humming a song.

It was into my habit, humming songs while doing things.
I heard shuffling from behind but occupied to pay attention. When I looked back through the mirror and found his laptop on the bed and him moving towards me.

I froze.

I was standing still, the song I was singing trapped in my throat. I had a mini panic attack then and there.

The only thing I could hear was the sound of  his strides to me and my foolish heart beats.
My hair was over my right shoulder exposing my left and back.
The back of my top was deep enough to make me shy in this situation. I was confident ever about whatever I wear but right that instant my shy side took over.

He stood just behind me, our bodies were touching completely.

My back his chest. His chest my back.

His pectoralis my trapezius.

Oh! shut up, you physiotherapist!
It, not the time to think about muscles.

I could feel my heart now thumping inside my ribcage. God, it will come out any moment.

He held my waist which made me gasp, pulling me flushed against him.

He leaned down and kissed my neck my exposed shoulder, goosebumps appeared all over my body. A shiver ran down to my spine and my knees wobble.

I will collapse any moment.

"I'm in love with this mole of yours,"
he said while kissing my back.

I had a good idea about the what he was referring to, the deep black mole present on my back around 3 inches below my neck.

I turned even redder. My face reassembling
'fifty shade of tomato'.

When he was kissing my neck there came a knock on the door and it snapped our bubble.

"Anusha! Beta wake up. We have a long day." Mom called from outside the door.

Clearing my throat I said,
"Coming mom"

I looked over Siddharth through the mirror, he had a huge boyish grin. I blushed and moved ahead to free myself from his grip but he was not letting me go.

Still holding my waist tightly like I'm his complete possession.

"Siddharth let her go,"
Bebe said out loud from outside.

How does she know?

Both of our eyes widened and instantly he let me go.

And I like a dumbfounded woman walked out off the room.

when I opened the bedroom door my eyes met with a grinning Mom and a winking Bebe.

And my Face met my palm.

Yay! Life.
...........

All the decoration, catering, food, DJ everything is done. It feels like a huge relief washed over me. I feel relaxed.

We were in Gurgaon, our resort, where the wedding reception was planned. Guest had started to arrive, my parents, his parents all our relatives and friends were already there.

The wait was for the newly married couple.
Me and him.

I was in my room getting ready whereas Siddharth was in the room beside mine.

Actually, our rooms were interconnected. I don't know how and why?

I looked myself in the mirror my dress fit me perfectly, showing all my curves which I was confident about.

I work hard to stay in shape.

I was wearing a peach colored off-shoulder pochu-cum-crop top, having golden shimmering embroidery ending above my stomach revealing my navel and area more than required.
Whereas the bottom of my dress has wide flares with shimmering borders at the end. The dress was hugging my waist and exposing my shoulders. Beautifully.

My hair left down in soft curls reaching my waist. Leaving few soft curls around my ears and forehead. Wearing peach colored lace-up heels that reaches 5 inches above my ankle.

I looked happily at the retreating back of the make up artists and hair stylist.

I was finally done.

But what about the nervousness?. I asked myself.

I hoped everything to be fine.

The door of the room beside mine cracked open and Siddharth walked in. The man looked at me head to toe and a spark appeared in his eyes when they met mine.

Approval, I reckoned.

He was wearing a dark grey colored three piece suit with a grey vest and a bow-tie. Wearing a white shirt underneath, looking handsome and ready to kill.

Fuff!

You are too good for me.

"Good work,"
he said smiling to my stylist who was almost near the door.

As soon as the stylist left Siddharth followed him and locked the door behind with a thud sound.

Ok! That was rude.

Is it me or does it actually feels bad when someone slams the door tight on your face?

He turned and started moving towards me, eyeing me again
"You are looking gorgeous"
he complimented me

I blushingly bitted my lip and turned to look myself back into the mirror, shyly but managed to ask,
"Do you really think I'm looking fine? Don't you think it's all out"
referring to the exposed skin around my waist and shoulders.

Yes, I'm definitely nervous!

He laughed at my comment and said,
"Fine? you look beyond fine"
he came closer, hugged me from behind, whispered in my ear
"you look just perfect, if we were not in a hurry I would love to have a better look at this all out thing or even love to do more than that"
and winked resting his head on my shoulder and started nuzzling the area.

Sending chills to my body. He always manages to do that to me. Is this called the dirty talking?

Ofcourse I know, I am not old school.

Shy! shy! shy!

Even more than that.

My breath stuck in the back of my throat and my heart was pounding against my chest.

I found myself waiting for his next move when the door of my room burst open revealing Radhika, Sapna, and Kaynat

What a fabulous timing?

A huge round of applause for them.

Is this Anusha in there talking? I asked my sub-conscious mind.

"Well, well, well. What is happening here don't you guys have a party to attend?" Kaynat said smirking at me.

I immediately pulled away from him just like a good girl and stood beside my friends. He started rubbing the back of his neck.

Radhika grinned and said,
"Don't you think Sapna and Kaynat we are disturbing two newlyweds."

"Of course and especially when they are together after a complete week" Sapna continued the teasing process

" Come on guys... stop teasing. Besides we already met yesterday,"
I said looking at them shyly and I looked over him asking for help to save me from these witches.

To my rescue he said
"yes we've met yesterday and spend the whole night together" Siddharth said dreamingly looking at me with a smirk and then winked.
"And last night was amazing."

Last night? Where did it come from, Siddharth?

You are never going to leave a chance to tease me. Will you?

"Last night...Ooooooooooooooo"
they all trailed a little too dramatically

I glared at him and then back at my stupid friends.
