Jeevika no longer wanted to sleep nor did she. Viren was unaware of it, but not she. All she could do all night was stare at her husbands face, that was truly all she wanted to do. He was her life, he was in fact everything for her. Viren slowly opened his eyes as the sunlight was forcing him to. He saw Jeevika just looking at him as she had been the past two mornings too. v - "Do you ever sleep my vampire?"
j - "I'm not a vampire"
v - "You haven't slept since New Years Eve have you?"
j - "Your so stupid! How can someone not sleep for three days? I just end up waking up before you do"
v - "Oh I'm sure that explains the swollen eyes and black circles too"
j - "You're such a girl! Guys don't notice things like this"
v - "You're right most guys don't, but I do because thats how I awesome I am" he said pecking her lips.
j - "Shall we start getting ready? Last day today and still need to pack for our flight tonight"
v - "Jeevika you should sleep, I'm serious"
j - "Viren relax I slept. You know I love my sleep"
v - "Fine I'm going change into my trunks and then we will go downstairs and relax poolside"
j - "VIREN"
v - "What?" he said going into the bathroom.
Jeevika stormed up from the bed and went into the bathroom.
v - "Hello some privacy in the bathroom please!?!"
j - "No privacy for you. You told me we're gonna go out"
v - "I don't want to go out. Lets just relax poolside"
j - "Viren why is everything your way" she screamed at him and then left the bathroom.
v - "God is it me or is she getting moodier by the day?" he said to himself.
Viren walked out and saw Jeevika sitting on the bed with her phone. He went near the bed and took the phone out of her hand.
v - "Who are we talking to now?" he said looking through her phone.
j - "Stop going through my phone. You have no right" she said angrily
v - "Damn I love my angry wife"
j - "Viren phone right now!" she demanded from him
v - "OH so we're tattletaling to Veera" he said reading her message
j - "No we're not she's tattletaling to me about how annoying you are"
v - "I am not annoying okay, I'm awesome. Why don't you go change and then we will go downstairs . Actually I'll go down and order some breakfast and you freshen up quickly"
j - "Whatever"
Viren left their hotel room and went downstairs near the pool. He saved two recliners and ordered some breakfast at the table. He ordered a blanket to which the waiter looked at him weirdly. Viren hid it on one of the chair so Jeevika wouldn't see it. He saw his wife walking towards him with her bag and her towel.
j - "Its actually a really beautiful day"
v - "It sure is. Want to go for a quick swim before our breakfast comes?"
j - "Obviously" she said smiling
The two went inside the pool and enjoyed the cool water with the sun out right above their head. Even though going out would have seemed nice, relaxing and holding your husbands hand inside the water was good too. When hunger came, the two got out and ate their breakfast quietly.
v - "So we'll get back late night today and then what? Any other plans you've made?"
j - "Viren actually"
v - "What?"
j - "I responded to the job offer and they have requested me to start working by the end of next week"
v - "Wait what? Are you serious Jeevika?" he said starting to panic.
Viren wanted to burst out, but knew if he overreacted Jeevika would be adamant on moving again and that he didn't want.
v - "I guess London we'll have to visit another time then"
j - "So you're fine with me moving in less than two weeks away from you?"
v - "I'm never going to be fine with you moving ever be it two days, two weeks, two months, or even two years. But you got to do what you go to do right? I'll call my travel agent and ask him to find us the first flight back home"
j - "I'm scared of telling mom. She's going to go all crazy on me if she finds out I'm leaving my husband and my family for my career. She always hated the idea of me being so career-oreiented and I actually agree with her now. And god knows how your mom will react and the rest of the family"
v - "It will be fine. Im sure chatter mouth Veera has told everyone there"
j - "And what about my parents?"
v - "I can do the talking"
j - "Not can, you will do the talking since its your decision and not mine" she said in an evil tone
v - Mhmm" he said smiling.
Viren and Jeevika both lay down near the pool. While Viren was on his phone trying to get their tickets back home, Jeevika was trying to keep her eyes open. She wanted to sleep, but she didn't. She wanted to just talk to Viren all day long and be by him. She got up and stood there for a while looking at Viren till he got off his phone. He looked at her trying to figure out what she wanted then sort of figured it out. He moved to the side as much as he could and Jeevika got onto the recliner with him and lay down putting her head on his chest.
v - "Better now" he said laughing a bit
j - "Shutup"
v - "Atleast you can sleep now" he said quietly to himself
j - "What did you say?"
v - "Nothing nothing"
j - "Viren"
v - "Hmm"
j - "Will you drop me off to Berkeley and help me shift there"
v - "Obviously I will Jeevika, is that a question even?"
j - "Don't you think it would be better if I went alone"
v - "I don't care whats good or bad, all I know is that I'm gonna drop you to Berkeley, help you unpack, get settled in your new apartment, and make sure everything else is perfect so when I come there won't be anything else left to do"
j - "Will you move soon?"
v - "Yes I will. Okay so our flight is booked I just got an email"
j - "When are we going back?"
v - "Thursday midnight"
j - "So we have like four more days"
v - "Yup four more days of you and me. And how about some airplane romance this time. You were too busy ignoring me on our flight here"
j - "Maybe if you're lucky you'll get your kiss under the blanket this time" she said blushing
v - "I hope that maybe comes true, because I could really use it"
Jeevika started falling asleep on Viren as hard as she tried to stay up. She was fighting her sleep and tried to make it not obvious at all, but she couldn't fool her husband. Viren was glad he still had the blanket near him which he used to cover up Jeevika. The things he had to do for his wife, more like the things he loved to do for his wife.
