We had changed. Our relationship has changed.

There was something about last night that changed everything.

While I was in the middle of my deep contemplations on all things Vidyut, the phone began to ring.

"Yeah?" I answered.

"Hello dear. How are you?"

"Oh Hi mom-in-law ! I'm great. And you? How's papa and all? I just woke up like five minutes ago."

I bit my tongue back. I had literally almost told her I had a massive hangover.

"Everyone's fine here, dear. I actually wanted to ask you what you're getting him."

Eh? Getting him? Food?

"What do you mean, mom?"

I asked, hoping it wasn't a dumb question.

"Don't you remember his birthday? Well, its tomorrow, dear! You'd better get him his gift fast. The first birthday after marriage needs to be special."

I swear I heard something playful in the way she said it. I blushed.

"Ummm.. Okay.. What do you think I should get him? " I asked timidly.

"Well, that's for you to decide. Think it through!"

"Umm okay,? What did you both get him?"

"A Rolex." She said nonchalantly

A Rolex?

Damn! Whens my birthday coming up? Ughhh lucky ass.

With that we said our goodbyes and I kept the phone.

What the hell do you get someone who has every bloody fucking thing in the whole bloody universe?

And there began the dilemma for the day.

I kept thinking about what the bloody hell I could get him. Bloody hell!

It couldn't be some random piece of shit gift such as a box of chocolates. Besides, if I got chocolates I'd probably be the one finishing the whole thing.

Don't judge. A girl has to eat!

Just as I was in my sexy thinking pose which involved lying upside down on the sofa looking like a half drowned cat trying to dry itself, I heard him open the door.

Aww... Goochie goo is back from work!

He probably thought I died or something. I was lying on the sofa with half my body hanging out of it, with the world's best dumbfuck expression.

I looked at him upside down, and or some unidentifiable reason, decided to flash him the weirdest , creepiest smile .

Great, Veera.

He's now definitely questioning your mental status.

I expected him to deadpan as usual, but I swear I saw a tiny smile playing on those lips.

Damn. Those lips looked fiiiine.

Shut up, Veera.

Just as I half got up, half fell off the sofa to run into my room, he spoke up.

"Umm listen."

"Yeah?"

"Th-tha-- th-aynks?" he stuttered.

"Don't worry about it. We all have our pasts. I'm glad I could kinda almost help you. " I smiled a little smile at him

I swear, the molten lava that spread into his eyes as he smiled at me took my breath away.

I could write a ballad on the ocean of fire that was his eyes. Magic.

"And listen." I spoke, shaking myself off of the drool fest.
"Any time you wanna have a drink or whatever, I'm here ,okay? And I don't mean that as a pickup line."

"I'll keep that in mind. Thanks. " he smiled.

And just as he walked into his room, I knew.

Oh hot damn.

I couldn't wait for the moment when he'd see his gift. Grabbing my keys and purse, I flew out the door.

And heeeere it is. Sorry it's kinda pretty much boring. So what do you think she's gonna get him? Guess ;)

Take care.

Love always,
LV.
