Day 12

Khushi opened her eyes and looked around at the muffled noise she'd heard behind her. She didn't see anyone by her in the poolside or anyone in the bedroom and so she closed her eyes again and leaned back on her chair. She was drifting off to sleep almost when she felt a breeze along her cheek and opened her eyes to meet dark brown eyes looking down at her.

'Arnav? What are you doing here?'

'Were you expecting someone else?' Arnav asked as he moved backwards and pulled the other chair next to hers with the table in between separating them.

'Well yes, I had asked my secret boyfriend to come and meet me today but obviously he's stood me up.' Khushi raised her eyebrows questioningly at Arnav as she noticed the tray on the table.

Arnav shook his head sympathetically, 'what a terrible boyfriend you have Khushi! Not like my wife, she has an amazing husband.' He picked up one of the mugs of tea and offered it to Khushi. 'See, yesterday she told me we don't get to spend enough time together so I came home early just for her.'

Khushi smiled and began to drink her tea as Arnav took the covers off the two plates also on the tray. 'I also bought jalebis and pakoras but since she's not here, I guess I could let you have one or two.' He held a jalebi towards her and Khushi smirked before she took a bite and moaned in satisfaction before she'd even had time to taste it properly. Arnav froze and sucked in a harsh breathe at the sound.

'Mmm Arnav, these are so good, where did you get them from?'

Arnav didn't trust himself to say anything but stayed silent at Khushi's increasing moans of pleasure as he fed her the rest of the jalebi. 'You can eat the rest yourself!' He was just about to pull his hand back when Khushi's hand shot out and grabbed his wrist.

'Wait Arnav, you have syrup on your fingers,' Khushi said in a husky voice and bent her head slightly to take his thumb into her mouth.

'Khushi... you...'  Arnav closed his eyes to the sight of Khushi sucking on his thumb only to have his brain replace it with another image which was even more agonizing for his deprived body to imagine.

He opened his eyes again as Khushi moved onto his index finger, leaving his thumb still moist. By the time she was onto his small finger Arnav was practically in physical pain and he shifted uncomfortably in his seat as she released his hand and sighed contentedly to herself.

'That's not fair Khushi,' Arnav said in a strangled voice. 'We said no kissing or anything.'

'It wasn't kissing Arnav. Besides, all's fair in love and war,' Khushi replied with a grin and closed her eyes to lie back in her seat picking up another jalebi to eat as she did. 'Mmm, so good!'

Arnav watched her for a minute trying to decide what to do before he smiled to himself and shook his head as he picked up his mug again and drank the tea which had gone cold long ago.

They sat by the poolside for another hour talking and holding hands across the table in between them as they watched the sun slowly set and the stars they both loved come out.
