Falak’s POV
.
“Slept already?” I inhaled my favorite smell when HE pulled me close to him.
“You’re early today.”, I said in a low tone and pushed myself a little more so that our bodies could touch each other.
“Yeah! That’s because I didn’t want to miss talking with you.”, He responded and nuzzled his nose on my neck. I giggled because that was ticklish. “Nor I could do this to you because I didn’t want to disturb your sleep.”
“Please stop!.” I giggled.
“Hmm,” He stopped and kissed my hair.
Okay! It was ticklish.
But I didn’t want him to stop.
“Did you have your dinner?” I asked, ignoring the disappointment in my heart. I didn’t want him to obey me like that. I meant he could have said a straight NO, couldn’t he?
“Yes! How was your day in the office?”
“As usual hectic.”
“What about you?”
“Same.”, He said, and by observing his voice, I could tell that he was extremely tired. “I didn’t know you would come today here.”
“What do you mean? You sent a car for me, don’t you?”
“I didn’t do anything. Maria and Albert planned that for us.”, He responded. “I thought that you were to say YES for the proposal that offers last night but then…I knew that was not going to happen this soon.”
“But I was going to say YES.”
“I know. Saying NO to me…wait, what?”, He exclaimed. “What did you say?”
“I said that I was going to say YES for moving in. I will talk with Father Gregory about it.”
“Really?”
“Yup!”, Immediately, he tightened his grip around my waist and gave a long kiss on my hair. Immediately my body became conscious when I felt his hand on my naked stomach. My top might get lifted a little, revealing my stomach. A chill ran through my spine, which I tried hard to conceal. This was the first time anyone had to touch me like this after that monster. And I wasn’t prepared for it. I was busy figuring out what to do?
He was happily talking about something, but his hand on my stomach was disrupting my focus. This was the second time I was touched by any man, but unlike the previous time, it was not disgusting to me. But this was a strange feeling.
No, it was not a bad touch. I could sense that. In fact, in the life situation, I was in, it was just an accident that his hand landed there because he wasn’t using his hand to touch me unnecessarily here and there. I was thinking so many things. I wondered whether he was thinking the same?
He kept talking about something, but his voice had become a background sound—nothing registered in my mind except the consciousness that I was touched by him.
“Falak!!!”, He said loudly this time, breaking my chain of thoughts.
“Huh?”
“What are you thinking? You seem lost, and even your breath was uneven.”, He reminded me. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I..I’m trying to adapt everything. Umm..this is so new to me.”, I said truthfully.
“Same here.”, He said and nuzzled his nose again. “Do let me know when you feel uncomfortable.”
“Hmm,” I agreed. “By the way, did you find anything about my parents?” I asked, changing the topic and also diverting my mind from his hand on my stomach.
It was normal between couples, right?
Yes, it was as long as someone is forcing himself on others.
“Not yet. But hopefully, by the end of this week or before that, you will finally know the name of your parents.”
“Thank you.”
“Anything for you!”
“When is your birthday?” I asked, out of nowhere.
“8th April”, He replied instantly. “I mean 8th April was the day when my brother was born. My birthday is on 25th December”, He corrected himself abruptly, but the damage was already done.
“8th April, it means this weekend.”, I asked with a sheepish smile.
“Falak…”, He warned me.
“I promise this question has nothing to do with your identity. I just asked that because I wanted to know who is older among us? And guess what, I am older than you by one month.” I half lied and grinned. I wish I could see his expression right now.
“So what? You’re just one month and five days older compared to me.”, He replied, getting irritated. “Stop grinning like that.”, He added, but to tease him more, I started laughing at him.
Immediately laughter died in my throat when he slammed his lips over mine out of nowhere and locked my hand over my head with his hand.
He kissed me passionately until we were short of breath. He kissed me twice, thrice, and god knows how many times because I lost the count after six. For the first in my life, I felt something wet between my legs. What was that?
What was happening to me?
Why did I feel that my body was on fire?
“I won’t be able to celebrate my birthday night with you!”, He whispered in my ear after breaking the kiss.
“Wh..It’s okay. I understand you have a family with whom you want to celebrate your birthday.”, I responded. More like tried to me explain myself to not be selfish.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay.”
“It’s not okay. I know you’re not okay with it. But…I’m sorry, Seno!”, Saying this, he hugged me. I knew that I was not happy with the news, but I also knew that his feelings were no more different than mine. He wanted to spend his birthday with me but he couldn’t because of some UNKNOWN reason.
“No worries. We can celebrate your birthday on another day. I mean, Isaac Watts once said that every day is a birthday, every moment of it is new to us, we are born again, renewed for fresh work and endeavor.”
“Did I ever tell you that I fall in love over and over again? With you. Always with you.”
“I guess you just told me that.”, I giggled.
“Good. Keep that in your mind. But I love you and love you more than anything in my life.”
