2. Sleep Conquers Love....

Everyone is proposed for marriage but I am those few lucky ones who was proposed for lifetime of togetherness. I loved my hubby's sweet and sincere words. He definitely made my heart flutter. This is our unique love story.

I looked at him lovingly as he just kept smiling. We had never had a tongue-tied situation before. There was a time we were talking 6 - 7hrs over the phone. He loved pulling my legs. I am no less too.

"You want to change to something comfortable?", he asked.
"Yeah,  its better",  I said.
"Well I can give all the help in pulling that sari", he mischiviously quipped.
"Ya right, I am sure that was running in your mind this whole day, isn't?", I pretended to sulk.
I walked to the dresser and sat down. Slowly I started to remove those extra bangles from my hands.
"You look even prettier when u sulk and prettiest when you pretend to sulk"
I burst out laughing. He knows me.

I unpinned my hair and the luscious long hair just fell free. He walked over,  looked at the reflection of mine on mirror,  "Love the way your hair brushes those cheeks". He bend over me, gently tucked the hair behind my ears, and gave a peck on my cheek.

I closed my eyes and felt his soft lips on my cheek. I melted inside. He moved the hair to one side and gave a soft kiss on my neck. Goosebumps erupted throughout my body. His delicately removed the chain around my neck. I sat blushing and simmering under his soft touch as he slowly removed the anklets from the feet.

"I think its time for unwrapping this sari, " he whispered into my ears. His warm breaths on my ear ringed a new sensation within me.

"I am no ordinary gift and sari is not wrapping paper",I whispered back into his ears and kissed him gently in his cheek.

I took out my night suit and walked into bathroom. I was all smiles,  thinking about what just happened. I freshened up,  changed and came out. He had also changed into comfortable clothes too.

I walked over to the bed, feeling lot relaxed. He joined me. He had taken out blankets and I was already ready to get all snuggled up inside it.

"Which side do u prefer to sleep?", I asked.
"Anything is fine. You pick your side first".
" I will take left side",I said.

We both took our sides of bed and lied down. There was a tiny space between us which we both didn't wanted to cross yet. We turned to our sides and looked at each other.
"Shall I switch off the light or you want it left on for sometime?", he asked.
"Yeh switch it off".
Room was semi dark with the faint street lights illuminating the room.
"Feeling sleepy?",he asked.
"Yes, are you not? "
"Yeh me too"
"Ok good night then. Sleep well. "
"You too".

But I was not sleepy. I am not used to sleeping next to a guy. This is new room, different bed. I need extra pillows near my legs and hand to snuggle. Few mins later, I tossed on the bed. He had fallen asleep. I slowly moved to his sides and gently placed one leg on top of his. He didn't wake up. I curled up close to his chest, kept both my legs on his and slept.

Long in the night, he had hugged me close and slept.
