MAYRA'S POV
"What? Getting addicted to you? I didn't get it." He said still wondering about what I said.
With a deep breath and closed eyes, I grabbed his palm and ran my thumb lightly over his skin. His contact gave me a little comfort and with that I nervously tried to turn my face towards him but before that could happen, he stilled my posture by again massaging my neck. I chewed inner flesh of my cheek and shifted uncomfortably not before trying harder to let out some words but nothing came out.
"Rehan, for how long we are going to be together?" I asked hesitantly and in response I got his silence.
I sighed. I know him very well, he's not going to say anything, not before I will make my point clear. But when will you know Rehan that sometimes there are things which are hard to speak? I don't know in which way you'll take what I am going to say next and I also know that you'll not calm down till I'll tell you everything.
"We are humans right? And you know that we aren't immortals." I added still feeling the warmth of his fingers moving softly over my neck.
"You are getting addicted to me and Rehan always remember that addiction is not good whether it is of anything. What would if something happens to me Rehan, it isn't like I am forever. What if I'll met with an accident or something like that? What if I will be no more? See the possibilities, they are enormous when we are talking about terrible turns of life. Will you smile again like you do now? Will you then live your life happily? No, right? That's what I am saying, I don't want you to get back to the old self. So, don't get too close, I don't want you to get addicted to me." I stopped in middle when I found myself facing him when he swiftly turned me and second next our face were just few inches apart.
I gulped down and let my eyes interlocked with his. My abdomen burst out with butterflies due to this much close proximity. His eyes were blank but still staring at me like they wanted to say many things.
"Always remember few things. Always." He said with a clenched teeth and softly creased my cheek with his knuckles. I felt ecstatic and at the same time shivered under his sweet touch.
"First. We will be together till I want, it's not up to you nor to anyone else. Am I clear?" He asked in a dangerous tone, leaning his face closer to me, till our nose were touching. My lips parted and I closed my eyes, slightly nodding in acceptance.
"Second. You are mine and I have every fucking single right on you and that means nothing could happen to you. Got it?" He said in a deep voice and wrapped his arm around my waist, making me go all jelly from my knees.
I nodded without even hearing a bit he said as being this close to him has already blocked out my thinking and understanding capacity.
"Third. I will never return to my old self till you are there for me to drag me out of darkness. Which means you will be forever with me. Understood?" His breath fanned over my lips, generating the tingling sensation all over my body.
I nodded like a puppet again and squeezed my eyes tightly to calm down the weird feeling which was arousing.
"And fourth. Baby I am already addicted to you." He whispered seductively and with that smashed his lips over mine.
I was taken aback by his sudden action and instantly tugged his T-shirt for support. He deepens the kiss with another new level of passion and started moving his fingers under the corner of my top. Electric current spread all over my body when he touched my bare waist. I froze at my place, experiencing the sweet tortures that he's been putting me through. His fingers traced every inch of my waist but suddenly stopped and that's when he parted his lips away from mine. My heart hammered loudly like a drum and after few seconds which seems like eternity, I finally let my eyes open only to meet the most beautiful pairs of eyes which were looking back at me in satisfaction.
"I know very well that you haven't focused on the words which I told you. So now Mrs. Malhotra just remember my words again and put them locked up in your mind till.... Forever. I'll be right back." He said with a teasing smirk and after pecking my lips he went away.
I looked at my fingers on my lap, dumbfounded that what had just happened? I blinked several times and then only one by one his every words started entering my mind.
This couldn't happen.
He said so many things without even giving me a chance to explain my side. He has done that kissing thing purposely so that he could distract me.
"Third. I will never return to my old self till you are there for me to drag me out of darkness. Which means you will be forever with me. Understood?" His few words started spinning round and round in my brain.
Drag him out of darkness? Forever?
He thinks that I will always drag him from darkness but what I did? Gave him a chance to step in the darkness again? Forever is a big thing. Does he really wants me forever? But should I be happy or sad at this thought?
A low sigh escaped my lips.
Rehan, I had married you to bring you out of your addiction for drugs but here I never realized that you are getting into another addiction.
"Stop thinking much." Suddenly a voice brought me back to reality.
He arched up his eyebrows and passed me his breathtakingly beautiful smile which automatically brought a smile to jump over my lips. Every other thought vanished into the air when he sat next to me and placed two cups on the table.
Wait. What?
I blinked twice and looked into the cups only to find them filled with coffee. I shifted my gaze to him, confusingly.
"Isn't this weather sounds perfect for coffee?" He asked casually with a wink and looked at the clouds.
Velocity of rain fastens and instantly everything around me turned beautiful. Like this rain was bliss. I smiled and straighten up my legs, hanging down from the couch. I catches the glimpse of him who was in peace and a small smile on his lips. He was lost deep in his thought, still unaware of my eyes which were fixed on him.
"Yesterday when you went to his house, I thought that may be you don't want to be with me anymore. So that's why..." He said and his eyes turned pale in comparison to the twinkle which was few seconds before.
Without saying anything next, I took the cup full of coffee and handed it to him. He looked at his coffee in confusion and chuckled.
"All I want is to be with you." I said with a little smile and blush both creeping at the same time.
"Don't act in such a way." He said after sipping his coffee with his eyes fixed outside.
"Huh?"
"You don't have any idea that how much this sweet blush and smile of yours tempts me to kiss you senselessly." He added.
Almost. I almost dropped the cup after hearing him and tried a level harder to calm the uneven rate of my both heart and breath.
"So am I forgiven?" I asked, trying to change the topic.
"Wow. This tastes amazing." I couldn't help myself from complementing after tasting the coffee.
He may be bad at cooking but I bet no one can ever defeat him in making coffee. I mean it tastes delicious. He chuckled again this time sounding more relaxed. He removed his shoes and sat crossed leg on the couch. After placing the cup back on the table, he rubbed his palms together with something mischievous reflecting from his smirk.
"Not before you'll come outside with me and wet in the rain. Let me see, why they say that getting wet in rain with the person who's most close to your heart, brings new spark of joy." He said gesturing outside making my jaw dropped in surprise.
"You are Rehan, right?" I asked and he shook his head with a smile.
"No. I am your husband. Now come." He stood up and grabbed my hand not before passing me his wonderful 220 volt smile.
I looked at him in awe till we reached outside and rain came in contact with our skin. I smiled in content and felt the most mesmerizing feeling of rain drops touching my skin. The striking sound of lighting and colliding sound of clouds embraced whole atmosphere into new thrilling and amazing feel. Sound of rain hitting the ground in background was like cherry on the cake.
I smiled and smiled. When I turned my attention to him, I swear I've never seen something this much surprising.
He was standing with his arms open wide, feeling the rain. There was that constant smile, dancing over his face and his eyes filled with wonder.
"This is good." He yelled in happiness and instantly wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him till I collided with his chest.
"But this is damn good." He whispered and tilted his face to meet his lips with mine.
Every nerves in me brightened up with new spark and for the firstly time I felt that why kissing in the rain was the content of so many bucket lists. I kissed him back in equal passion and encircled my arm around his neck. He smirked and put me up in his arms, still kissing me. I flushed and we smiled at each other when we parted away, trying to calm our rapid breath. He twirled me around and at that moment I couldn't be happier.
"Do you trust me?" I asked well rather shouted so that my voice can enter into his ear.
"There's nothing to not trust you about." He shouted back and placed me back on the ground. I felt a breath of relief coming to me from his words.
"Don't ever break my trust."
"Never Rehan. Never." I added with a smile and placed a kiss on his forehead.
"I am jealous of these raindrops." He said breaking the silence, looking into my eyes.
"Jealous?" In confusion, I asked.
"How easily these raindrops are touching you wherever they want." He said.
I gulped down and fixed my eyes on the ground, looking at our feet. I flushed. I tried to move away from his hold but he has his hold rather tighten on my waist. My toes curled in something different yet beautiful feeling. He brought his finger near my breast valley and moved my hair locks which were sticking there. His touch ignited a new level of emotion in me and I pressed my eyes closed. Please Rehan stop all this. I am not that much strong to take all these tortures.
"You know how much I am controlling myself from not taking you to the bedroom?" He leaned closer and said, seductively.
I clenched my fists and blood rushed up to my cheeks. I didn't dared to look up at him, just pressed my eyes shut. This is all too much for me to take. This burning sensation developing in my abdomen is something strange. Something I experience only when Rehan behaves like this.
What is he doing with me? Suddenly I heard the sound of laughter and instantly my eyes snapped open wide to find him laughing hard at my condition.
I flushed but smiled in content. It made me realize that there was no profit in running away from him.
He may be getting addicted to me but still as long as this smile will be there on his lips, I will have no problem with that. All I want is him and his happiness to any extent. And there's something I know to do and make him realize his mistake that there's only me who can bring him out of the darkness but there are others too.
Tomorrow I will do something so that he will start believing that there are others also whom he can lean on to for support and happiness.
Wait for tomorrow Rehan and see what's beautiful is going to come.
