I mindlessly scrolled through Netflix on the sleek LCD infront of me, growing more and more frustrated by the lack of suitable options to watch.
I was sitting on the couch in my living room, constantly stealing glances between the clock and the main door.
The digital numbers on the clock displayed 8:00 in the evening.
Why wasn't she back yet? She told me that she would return soon! And To make matters worse, she hadn't even answered any of my calls.
The entire day had felt excruciatingly dull, especially since it was my day off from work, so I didn't really had anything to do the whole day and it went so damn boring.
I really wished she had stayed home too, so like that we could have spent some time together.
Sinking deeper into the plush cushions of the couch, my fingers absentmindedly worked the remote, endlessly scrolling through the Netflix library, while my eyes remained fixated on the main door.
I sighed heavily, sulking internally.
What on earth was keeping her so long?
My phone suddenly rang, and I immediately snatched it up, hoping it was her calling.
But to my disappointment, it was Najma. Letting out a frustrated huff, I reluctantly answered the call.
"Yeah, okay!" I replied, cutting the conversation short.
After talking with Najma, she informed me that she was coming over to my place with dinner.
I engaged in a dull conversation with her, as my mind was constantly wandering back to where Ayezah could be and my eyes fixated on the main door.
I scrolled through my phone mindlessly and my fingers, almost as if they had a mind of their own, dialed her number.
why is her phone off? Is she okay?
This girl makes me worry so much, i tell you.
Wait! I should call her secretary, Laila. She would probably know where Ayezah is, yeah!
I immediately dialed Laila's number, and after a few rings, she answered the call.
"Hello, Laila! Is Ayezah with you?" I asked anxiously as soon as she picked up.
" Nope, jij! She left for home," Laila replied from the call.
"Why is it taking her so long to come back home? She said she'd be back home soon, and it's already so late! She didn't even bother calling me once the whole day," I complained, frustration evident in my voice.
" Woah jij, calm down!!! I didn't know you missed her so much, I mean you can't stay without her even for a day now, huh?" Laila teased from the call.
My heart did a somersault all of sudden hearing her words.
I used to live all alone in my mansion and I was used to it. I never got bored or felt this lonely before. But today, it was different. I felt so damn bored, lonely and empty.
I guess i really missed her.
What's happening to me? can't i really even go a single day without her?
She doing something to me! I was never like this. It's not even been properly a week that i married her and I already feel like I can't stay away her.
I'm going nuts. She driving me crazy.
" Rahil jij? Are you there? " Laila's voice from the phone broke my trance.
" Yeah... I'm sorry." I mumbled.
"Actually, today was really hectic you know," Laila began.
"We were tirelessly tracking down a red car that nearly caused Ayezah to have an accident-"
The word 'accident' hit me like a jolt of electricity.
Interrupting her mid-sentence, I immediately shot up from the couch, my heart racing.
I let out a panicked yell, "WHAT? Ayezah had an accident?"
The mere thought of something happening to her sent a wave of suffocation through me, tightening my chest.
"No, relax, it's nothing serious," Laila reassured me, her voice coming through the phone. "I mean, she's fine-"
Before she could finish her sentence, I heard the distinct sound of the main door clicking shut, signaling someone's arrival.
"Laila, I'll end the call now. I think she's back! Thank you so much!" I hastily ended the call and hurried towards the main door, my heart pounding hard in my chest and breathing turning heavy.
I saw her walking in, and her eyes blinked with surprise as she noticed me standing there. "Hey?" she said, a slight smile forming on her lips.
Without hesitation, I moved towards her, gently gripping her both the elbows, I pulled her closer, her eyes widened slightly at my sudden action, and I could feel her gaze fixed on me, filled with surprise.
Frantically, I scanned her body, searching for any signs of injury, but thankfully, there were none. As I did so, a wave of relief washed over me, causing my breathing to become normal.
"Rahil, what are you-" she began to ask, but before she could finish, I instinctively held her head in my hand and pressed it against my chest, holding her close to my heart, trying to calm my racing heartbeats.
She's fine.
The moment Laila mentioned the word 'accident', at that very second, flood of terrifying thoughts overwhelmed my mind.
I don't know, It's just so suffocating to even imagine anything happening to her. I just can't bear it.
I held her close to me tightly for a few seconds, My palm remained on her head, while my other arm encircled around her shoulders firmly and I could sense her stillness and frozen state.
I pulled back immediately, realizing what I was doing. My heart raced as she blinked at me, and I looked anywhere but her, avoiding eye contact.
she straightened herself, fixing her hair and I stammered, "Ah, umm, that... Laila told me about your accident! I really got worried...Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"
She looked directly into my eyes, her captivating amber orbs drawing me in. We stood there, motionless, for a few seconds, lost in each other's gaze.
Finally, she spoke, her voice soft yet reassuring, "I'm fine, Rahil! It was nothing-"
But before she could finish her sentence, my eyes caught sight of a purple bruise right in the middle of her forehead, accompanied by a small bump.
I gently brushed my fingers on her front hair locks, tugging them behind and taking in the clear view of her forehead.
" Oh lord! You have a bump on your head! " I said.
She touched her forehead slightly saying, " Ah that! It's not a big deal-"
Interrupting her, I immediately took a hold of her palm in mine and guided her to the living room.
I made her sit on the couch, her eyes fixed on me all the while.
" We need to apply ice on it! Otherwise, it might swell. Wait here for a minute." With those words said, I hurried to the kitchen to fetch an ice pack.
I brought the ice pack and kneeled in front of her. Slowly, I moved closer to her face, carefully and gently pressing the cool ice pack on her forehead bump.
she hissed slightly, shutting her eyes.
"You didn't even bother calling me and letting me know what happened to you?" I blurted out, my words overflowing with worry.
" I was sick worried, you know! Why weren't you picking up my calls? You even came back so late, and I was literally waiting. You could've at least informed me, and you didn't even let me come-"
Before I could finish my worried rant, she called out my name, interrupting me.
"Rahil!"
Her softened eyes locked with mine, our faces just inches apart.
In that moment, her palm reached out, gently touching my cheek. She placed her whole palm on my cheek, and softly caressed it with her thumb pad.
I couldn't help but feel a wave of comfort wash over me.
Her touch felt so good and so soothing.
I unknowingly leaned closer to her palm and her face. The proximity made her blink. Our faces were so close, her palm still resting on my cheek.
"You worry too much!" she said, a slight smile gracing her lips. Her voice was filled with warmth.
"Then don't make me worry!" I responded immediately.
Her gaze locked with mine, and I could sense a different emotion swirling in her amber orbs.
We found ourselves lost in each other's gaze, our faces were so close that it felt like the world around us had faded away.
with a hint of mischief in her voice, she spoke those words that made my heart skip a beat.
"If you keep caring for me so deeply and keep leaning this close, I might just end up kissing you breathless."
Her eyes never left mine as she uttered those words, her lips tempting me to no extend.
Unable to resist the magnetic pull between us, I pressed my forehead and nose against hers, our breaths mingling in the space between us.
Desperation filled my voice as I whispered, "What's stopping you then?" Every fiber of my being yearned to feel her lips against mine.
She looked at me with slight surprise as if she wasn't expecting me saying that at all.
My gaze dropped at her smooth lips. My breathing turning uneven and heart racing madly.
I couldn't hold back any longer. The desperation consumed me entirely.
I wanted to taste her lips in that very moment, like nothing else mattered.
It was a feeling I had never experienced before.
she gazed at my lips, mirroring my own actions. And in the very next second, she smashed her lips on mine.
Our lips collided with a force that made me stumble back a little, but she immediately fisted her palm onto the collar of my t-shirt, pulling me closer.
Her lips were as smooth as finely melted chocolate, tempting me with their irresistible softness.
As I finally experienced the sensation of her lips against mine, a rush of giddiness washed over me.
They not only looked smooth, but they felt even smoother, like a velvety caress.
she parted her lips and took my lower lip between hers, gently sucking on it, causing me to drop the ice pack I had been holding onto the carpet.
Her palm remained tenderly pressed against my cheek, while her other palm firmly held onto my collar, keeping me close to her.
In that moment, all my self-imposed limits crumbled away, and I instinctively wrapped my arms around her waist, drawing our bodies even closer.
The kiss grew intense, as we kept kissing each other like there's no tomorrow.
I found myself lost in the sensation of sucking on her smoothest lips.
She dominated the kiss and I gladly let her.
The intensity of the kiss continued to escalate, with neither of us willing to pull back. I leaned in more, making our bodies to completely press against each other.
Eventually, we had to break the kiss, our foreheads connecting and our eyes closed, catching our breath.
" Fuck! I feel like I could do this all day! " she exclaimed. Her voice, raspy and heavy with each breath she takes.
" Me too." I replied and without hesitation, I smashed my lips back onto hers, pushing her gently onto the couch as I hovered over her.
The desire between us was palpable.
I savored the taste of her soft, velvety lips, but again she didn't allow me to take control as she more passionately sucked on my lips in return.
I found myself hovering over her, her back pressed firmly against the headrest of the couch. One of my palms sank into the plushness of the sofa near her head, while the other cupped her cheek, feeling the warmth of her skin against my fingertips.
The kiss deepened, I couldn't help but be captivated by her irresistible flavor.
She tasted like the most scrumptious chocolate, leaving me craving for more.
she abruptly broke the kiss and hurriedly removed my t-shirt, her gaze roaming hungrily over my exposed body.
A 'woah' escaped her lips, igniting a rush of desire within me.
unable to resist, I immediately closed the distance between our lips once again.
My addiction for her smooth lips already growing stronger with each passing moment.
I kissed her desperately and she kissed me back with same desperation.
Her warm hands explored every inch of my upper body, sending electric shocks coursing through me.
I felt myself growing hard down there.
She broke the kiss once more, teasing me with a mischievous smirk.
" So you too go to the gym every day, huh? " she playfully remarked, her eyes roaming over my sculpted physique.
My heart pounded wildly in my chest.
I was really a sporty person! I loved playing outdoor tennis and I would do gym frequently so I was sure that I had a good well-built physique.
" Assalam walikum bhai! We are here!!! " Suddenly, Najma's chirping voice was heard from the main door, making my eyes widen.
How could I forget that she was coming over with dinner?
And she knew the door password, so she could enter the living room at any moment.
I saw Ayezah's eyes widen too. I was hovering over her, shirtless.
In a rush, I immediately got up and stood straight, while she quickly straightened up and grabbed the ice pack, abruptly slamming it on her forehead in panic and hurry, she let out a slight hiss.
"careful," I said, as I attempted to pick up my t-shirt from the carpet.
But before I could put it on, Najma and her husband entered the hall.
"Bhai-" she stopped dead in her tracks, her eyes widening as she looked at me. Ayezah nervously got up from the couch and greeted Najma with a hesitant. "Oh hi, Najma!"
Najma blinked in surprise.
"It's so hot, I tell you!" I blurted out pretending, rolling up the t-shirt and trying to blow air from it, as if it were a fan.
"I know right! It's so damn hot" Ayezah joined in the act, tapping the ice pack all over her face.
Najma and Irfan looked at us blankly and then looked at each other.
suddenly, they burst into fits of laughter together loudly.
I looked at Ayezah, and she gazed back at me with the same nervousness.
" you guys are seriously so adorable! " Najma said between her nonstop laughter, she was holding her stomach with one hand while her other palm rested on her husband's shoulder for support.
" C'mon! We all are standing in the air-conditioned room! even a fool could find out easily." Irfan said laughing along with Najma.
I felt a bit embarrassed. I immediately put on my t-shirt.
" Oh god! look at their faces! Chill, you guys are husband wife! " Najma continued giggling.
I couldn't help but look away, cupping my nape, and from the corner of my eye, I noticed Ayezah's cheeks turning a shade of pastel pink probably due to embarrassment.
