My Little Love ❤️

Chapter 24

Manik's pov

I freshened up and walked outside to see nandini sitting up watching tv.

I love her so much, I mean i was going to wait to tell her becasue I thought it would be fast but when she said I couldn't help myself.

She looked so beautiful and the way her innocent eyes darkened when I tilted her chin up, I lost all control when her legs wrapped around me.

Kissing her is like a drug, I need more of it.

"Mani" she said pouting making me smile

I like how comfortable she has gotten with me

"Han"

"Can I try walking now" she asked

"Yes but hold on" I said walking to the side of the bed

I leaned to her face and she happily hooked her arms behind my neck, I placed her on her feet but my hold on her was stable

"Try stepping on that foot" I said

She slowly put her foot down pressing it against the floor

"Ohh manik chodo na, I wanna see if it's fully healed" she said

"Does it hurt" I asked

"No it's fine now, see all of the swelling is gone too"

"I see that my little love but you can't put so much stress on it right away right"

"I know umm I will hold your hand okay" she said and I nodded

She moved her arms from my neck to my bicep holding on as I let go of her waist.

She was fine I knew her ankle was good now becasue there was no swelling plus there was no sign of pain in her face.

I interlocked out hands together as we walked down to the car, I opened her door and she slipped in mumbling a thank you. I got in the drivers seat and plugged in my phone on the charger.

"Manik"

I hmmed as I set the mirror since cabir took my car a couple days ago

"Who is navya"

"She is cabir's girlfriend"

She smiled hearing this, there was something going on in her head and she wasn't sharing it. I knew it because she plays with her chudiya when she is thinking and no she doesn't do it purposely.

"Nandini kya hua, kya soch rahi ho" I asked placing my hand on her bare thigh

She gripped my hand that was on her thigh as she entwined our fingers.

"I feel like I haven't told you anything about me, I wonder if umm okay this is going to sound bad but I wonder if our physical connection is just as good as our emotional one"

My thumb stoped caressing hers as I glanced over at her.

"What exactly are you implying" I asked

"No no I'm not saying that I didn't love whatever happened, I am saying that I wish we had met earlier. I am wondering if our emotional connection is just as strong as our physical one"

"Why would you second guess that" I asked wanting to know what was going on in her head

She closed her eyes laying her head back on the seat.

"don't stop doing that, it helps me calm down and rearrange my thoughts into words" she whispered

I glanced over and realized she was talking about me caressing her thumb so I began gently caressing her hand

"I was told that I was only good for one thing" she whispered

She took a deep breath and held onto my hand tighter

"I love you Manik and I understand your moves. I understand what you are going through when you look at a file a certain way or when your eyes widen. I know when you need food or when you hate a certain type of food which isn't because you tell me, I just know. I understand when you grab my arm that you need to tell me something however when you hold my hand you need me to be there, you need my presence. I understand you and I know you but that doesn't tell me if you know me Manik. Then there is our physical connection, one touch and my whole body's on fire. The way your lips glide over my neck and my lips, I can't help but melt into your touch. I love every single touch of yours just as much as I love sitting in front of you while you work and I try to decode your mind. I am not blaming or questioning your love for me, I never would, I can see it in your eyes but I wonder what you see when you look at me" she said

I was shocked and overwhelmed at how easily she described her love for me both emotionally and physically, it was pure.

She doesn't use cues around me to pick up to know my behaviour, she just knows.

"I see you nandini, I see how beautiful you are"

"That's not my question, I don't want to know how pretty you think I am" she said interrupting me

I shut my mouth for a second as we approach a red light, as I stop the car at the light I turned to her to see her looking at me already

"Shut that pretty little mouth for a minute and let me finish, do you understand my love" I said leaning forward

Her eyes gaze over my lips making em smirk

"Do you understand nandini" I asked again

she nodded biting her lip

"Words" I said

"I understand" she whispers leaning forward

I knew she wanted me to kiss but im not going to, not until she understands and knows how much I love her.

I leaned back into my seat and heard a frustrated groan from her making me smirk

As the light turns green I started driving, I could have taken her to this ice cream shop close by but I wanted to drive around with her.

"When you twirl your hair around your fingers I know it's because you have found something wrong with a file, when your teeth tug on your bottom lips I know you are nervous about an outfit, when you chew on your lips you are wondering how I will react to the next thing that comes out of your mouth, when the corners of your lips turn up a little I know you are about to start giggling, when your eyes dilate and become darker I know how much you want me, when you are happy you kick your feet like a tiny child, when you cook you sway your hips to the rhythm of whatever you are listening to, you even sing but not the lyrics because you suck at memorizing them, you make your own. You always debate on whether you should just put on a huge ass t shirt to sleep in at night but always decide against it. I know that you love fireflies becasue you think they represent true love, the kind you want. i know you Nandini, now I may not know what your past held or what you went through but I know you. so do not ever and I fucking mean this, do not ever doubt how I see you becasue you are all I see. i could be a roomful of girls yet my eyes would drive to you and just you" I explained to her

I understand insecurities and I get that but she cannot doubt my love for her or question it ever again, sure it happened quick but it's right, its us.
