I felt Gayatri stir beside me, I resisted the urge to open my eyes, relishing the moment of quiet intimacy. Her presence beside me felt like a dream come true, and I couldn't help but smile to myself as I listened to the sound of her soft breathing.
Opening my eyes ever so slightly, I watched as she stretched lazily, her movements graceful and fluid. She looked absolutely stunning, with the morning sunlight filtering through the curtains, casting a warm glow on her delicate features.
Suppressing a chuckle, I kept my eyes closed, pretending to be still asleep as she glanced over at me. I could feel her gaze lingering on my face, and I fought to keep my breathing steady, not wanting to give away the fact that I was awake.
Lost in my thoughts, I nearly jumped when I felt her fingers gently brush against my cheek, tracing the contours of my face with a feather-light touch. My heart skipped a beat at her tender gesture, and I struggled to maintain my facade of sleep.
"Shreyas, wake up," she whispered softly, her voice like music to my ears. "I know you're pretending to be asleep."
I couldn't help but smile at her perceptiveness, finally opening my eyes to meet her gaze. "Good morning, beautiful," I greeted her, my voice husky with sleep.
Gayatri blushed prettily at my words, her cheeks flushing a delicate shade of pink. "Good morning," she replied, her eyes sparkling with affection as she leaned in closer.
As she snuggled against me, I wrapped my arms around her, reveling in the warmth of her embrace. "You know, you're even more stunning in the morning light," I whispered, unable to resist teasing her.
Gayatri rolled her eyes playfully, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Flattery will get you nowhere, Mr. Shreyas," she teased, her laughter echoing through the room.
As we lay there tangled in each other's embrace, the reality of the morning started to sink in. With a reluctant sigh, I knew that we couldn't stay cocooned in our little bubble forever.
"Hey, beautiful, as much as I wish we could spend the whole day like this, I think we should probably get up," I said, brushing a stray lock of hair away from her face.
