Cuddling Under The Stars

Start from the beginning
                                    

Nandini smiled and turned around in his embrace, facing him and snaked her arms around his neck.

Nandini: I never knew that my monster is so romantic

Manik*playing along*: wanna know how romantic can your monster be?

He whispered to which nandini nodded not knowing what he was going to do.

Manik: ok then

He said and before nandini knew, manik had taken her lips in his for a soft kiss, pulling her close by her waist which soon enough nandini responded, cupping his nape with one hand and ruffling his hair with the other.

They broke the kiss and stood there with their foreheads pressed against each other, breathing heavily, looking into each other's eyes when manik tucked a loose strand behind nandini's ear and asked her to change into comfortable clothes.

Manik: you go and change

Nandini: aur tum?

Manik: I have already changed...tum jao and come back soon...am waiting

Nandini nodded and began walking towards her room when manik called out for her.

Manik: nandini

Nandini*turning around*: ha?

Manik: do you need my help?

He asked cockily only receive nandini's glare.

Nandini: manik

She said sternly but her cheeks had already turned crimson red contradicting her, making manik chuckle.

Nandini came out after changing herself into comfortable clothes and walked to the balcony where manik was already waiting for her.

Manik: ah finally!

He said as he saw nandini entering in.

Manik: jaldi baitho...I have already reheated the cocoa and I also bought some cookies

Nandini: Mr. Manik Malhotra I am impressed

Manik: thanks Ms. Murthy but now sit na and make yourself comfortable

Nandini smiled and settled down beside him as manik covered both of them with a comforter.

Nandini: so what's the plan?

Manik: plan? Um...(scratching the back of his neck) filhaal toh there is no plan but hume plan ki kya zaroorat hai...on the spot plans are more of our kind nai?

Nandini: but manik fir hum yaha karenge kya?

Manik: star gazing!

Nandini: star gazing?

Manik: ha see...the sky looks so beautiful tonight and one of them toh is sitting next to me

He said pulling her closer and nandini snuggled into him smilingly.

Nandini: acha?

Manik: yup! My shining star

He said making nandini smile bright as he pecked the side of her head.

Manik: vaise star...must say ha, you are really very creative

Nandini*confused*: huh?

Manik: I mean... look at the cocoa...kitna ache se you have decorated it

Nandini blushed at his statement as manik kissed her cheek making nandini gasp

Manik: Haaye you are so cute ya...I feel so lucky to have you as my girlfriend

Nandini*looking at him*: you really do?

Manik*looking back at her*: ofcourse I do...aakhir tumse perfect mujhe koi aur mil sakta hai kya? Aur vaise bhi tumhe mere alawa koi jhel bhi nahi sakta

He teased.

Nandini: haww manik...tum kitne gande ho

She said, playfully slapping his shoulder making manik laugh and she too joined in soon, resting her head on his shoulder.

Nandini: manik soha ne tum sab ko kal kyu bulaya hoga?

She suddenly asked, turning serious.

Manik: nandini look...hume na kal ke bareme soch ke apna aaj nahi bigaadna chahiye...tum kehti ho na ki live in the moment so why worry about soha ki voh kal kya karegi? Jo hoga voh dekha jaega

He replied caressing her hair.

Nandini: hmm...but I don't know, she has never given me good vibes and am scared ki voh kuch bura na kar de

She expressed her worries.

Manik bent his head a bit and chinned her face to make her look at him.

Manik: do you trust me?

He asked looking into her eyes.

Nandini nodded.

Nandini: more than I trust myself

She answered staring back at him.

Manik: toh bas leave it on me...I will manage..ya?

Nandini: hmm

Manik saw nandini still lost in her thoughts so he thought to distract her.

Manik: vaise bhi if I can manage you toh soha kya cheez hai

Nandini: manik!

Manik: nandini!

He mocked her.

And that's how they spent the night, under the stars talking to each other about anything and everything, cuddling to each other with manik timely pecking nandini's forehead and nandini resting her head on his heart, listening to his soothing heartbeats that always managed to give her peace.

Hope you liked it.

Happy reading.
