Hello shello, romantic chuk chuk journey continues 😉. Cheers 😃
Snuggled under the sheet, Prachi looked at her phone anxiously. It almost 1 am now and everyone had definitely gone to sleep judging by their rythmic breathing. Milind had said that he would text her. Has he gone to sleep as well? Worried Prachi bit her lower lip. "Ssssssssss", she flinched as her teeth grazed her now very tender lips after Milind's kisses. She touched her lips gently. The way he looked at her and kissed her felt like he was making a possessive claim on her, branding her as his. "What brought that on?", she wondered. But she wasn't complaining. Its been days since he had kissed her properly, she smiled shyly burying her head under the sheets. As minutes ticked by she was getting restless. Should she call him or risk peeping into the adjacent coupe? What if someone sees her? Oh god, she would die of embarrassment, she closed her eyes tightly trying to erase her imagination. As if sensing her turmoil, the phone vibrated. ...NOW…that was all it said. Prachi looked at the message with wide eyes, that's it, just one word. "Arrogant idiot", she scolded him fondly and quickly got off her berth making minimum noise. Adjusting her clothes quickly, she tiptoed past the other berths, out towards the door.
Milind was leaning against the open door, the wind as the train moved fast, tousling his hair into disarray. Dressed in pyjamas and a light sleevless night shirt gaping open to mid chest, his eyes brightened on seeing Prachi walk towards him. Prachi drew a sharp breath looking at him, he looked dangerously handsome standing there. Pulling her towards him, he held her close and grinned at her. "Good girl", he said softly.
Prachi hit his arm, "What took you so long? I was worried that you had gone to sleep", she complained.
Chuckling softly, Milind bent down to rub his nose against hers, "There is no way I was going to sleep today. And I am glad that you are as restless as me", he said.
Blushing, Prachi tried hard to concentrate on his shirt button, but the skin displayed through the gaping shirt was driving her to distraction. Thinking that looking into his eyes was much safer, she looked up at him shyly, "Can you blame me? I hardly got any time to spend with you alone in the last week?".
"That's why I want to make the most of this trip. I am going to find every excuse to whisk you away from others. I am sure Lisa will understand", he traced her pink cheeks with his finger.
"Promise", Prachi looked at him, eyes hopeful.
Smiling, Milind placed his hand on his chest, "Cross my heart, love. It's a gentleman's promise".
Smiling happily at him, Prachi tugged his arm, "Milind, lets sit on these steps".
"Are you crazy? It's a fast moving train, for God's sake. Its not safe", Milind looked at her as if she had lost her mind.
Prachi made a face at him, "Don't read me the safety regulations now. Please Milind, I have always wanted to do that, but never dared. I have seen people sitting here, please".
Milind sighed, "You know I can't resist that look on your face", guiding her carefully, he sat down next to her and putting his arm around her shoulders pulled her close and safe.
The force of the wind on their faces, the pitch dark night, blurred out lights in the distance and the dark swaying trees had an unconventional appeal. They looked at each other and smiled. Prachi rested her head on Milind's shoulder, his body warmth soothing in the cold December air, "Are we going anywhere tomorrow?", she asked softly.
Milind took her hand in his and kissed her fingers one by one softly, making her tingle all over, "Hmm, we will go out in the afternoon, but it might still be in a group, I am afraid. We have arranged for a stag night for Peter, tomorrow evening. So we will be busy with that", he said.
Prachi's eyes widened, "Stag night!! What would you all do?", she asked.
Smiling at her innocent question, "What else, music, dance, booze and filthy talk, that's it".
Prachi made a face, "What sort of a celebration is that?", she asked.
Milind chuckled, "Sweetheart, his bachelor nights are numbered. That's what we will celebrate.Anyway, things are much more tamed here. We used to have very wild stag parties when I was in London", he shrugged. Looking at her curious face, he said, "Okay, let me tell you about the last one I went to. It was a stag weekend of a close friend of mine in Amsterdam . And the dress code for that night was red bikini".
Prachi gasped in shock, "What??? Bikini………for guys,", her lips curled in distaste. As he grinned at her, she gasped aloud, "No way, did you also ………..Ewwwwwwwww", she shut her eyes tight.
Milind bent down to whisper in her eyes, "They did tell me that I was looking smoking hot".
Prachi opened her eyes wider, "The guys told you that? ", she asked shocked.
"No……the girls", whispered Milind again.
Prachi's face went bright red, "You, you…..dirty idiot, ………besharam……….So, that is what you did there? Yuck……", she hit him with her fists.
Laughing now, Milind held her hands and kissed her closed fists, "Honey, calm down. It was a guys only night. No girls were allowed. I was just winding you up".
Prachi hit him again, "I don't want to talk to you now. I hate you", she said glaring at him.
Milind went very still, "Do you really?", he asked her huskily.
All anger gone, she looked at him with adoring eyes, "No, I love you. I love you very much", pulling his face closer, she kissed him softly on his lips and hugged him.
Milind tightened his arms around her and kissed her head softly, "I love you too sweetheart. Don't you ever say that you hate me, not even for fun", he whispered.
As the wind turner even colder, Milind forced her get in and shut the door. They sat on the floor leaning against each other and Prachi snuggled against him comfortably. "Milind, can I ask you something?", Prachi asked him hesitantingly. Busy playing with her fingers, Milind shook his head. "Don't you get annoyed with me sometimes?", she asked softly.
Milind looked at her surprised, "And why would I get annoyed with you?".
"Its just that I don't spend much time with you. I don't even meet you everyday. I don't go out for long drives with you like you want….", Prachi's voice trailed away.
Cupping her face, Milind looked in her eyes, "But you do make up for everything so sweetly afterwards. See now for example. You are here with me, sneaking out to meet me. Don't you think its even more thrilling to meet like this. How can I get annoyed with you, baby?" he said with a smile. "And its already decided that we will make for all those lost time in these five days, right", he winked at her and bent down towards her lips.
Moving back, Prachi pushed his face away, "And already I am wondering what I have agreed to", she said glaring at his naughty face.
"Too late, baby. You have given your word", he blew a tendril off her face.
Hesitating again, Prachi asked him, "Mi…….lind, ummm…..why did you …..kiss ..me like that before?", her eyes lowered.
Milind bent down to touch his forehead on hers, "I surprised you, didn't I?" he asked softly. As she nodded, he continued, "I surprised myself actually. I was kinda feeling possessive, you know". Looking at her surprised look, he said, "I mean……I didn't like the way Neev asked you about the sleeping arrangement. That guy is taking this bodygaurd business a bit too seriously. Tell him that I am there to look after you", he said suddenly serious.
Prachi was even more surprised, "Neev……oh god, Milind. I am sure he didn't really think about it when he asked me then. He did look a bit embarrassed later. And we have shared a coupe before, you know. We have all travelled together since I was a child", said Prachi.
"Not any more", Milind said with finalty.
Prachi looked at him with naughty eyes, "Milind, were you jealous?".
Milind glared at her, "No, I was not", he bit out annoyed.
"Okay, if you say so", said Prachi tongue in cheek.
Eyes narrowed, he cupped her chin, "Hey….If there is anyone who shares your sleeping space, it would be me, only me. Whether it's a coupe, or a berth..., you understand" he said very huskily. Cheeks reddening at his implied meaning, Prachi nodded slightly, her heart lifting up on seeing the possessive look in his eyes. Milind traced her still tender lips with his thumb, "Only me…" he drawled and took her lips in his. With a sigh, Prachi's arms automatically wound around his neck, her fingers threading softly in his hair. With a groan, Milind pulled her close and tipping her head back, his hand tightening in her hair almost painfully , he deepened the kiss, his tougue teasing hers and setting a rhythm that Prachi was eager to follow. Breaking apart after a while, he kissed her still closed eyelids softly and trailed his lips down her cheeks. With a small smile, Prachi leaned against his shoulder, her eyes still closed. Placing a kiss on her forehead, Milind sighed, "Do you know how long its been since I properly kissed you?", he asked huskily.
"Nine days", Prachi said almost in a whisper.
Startled for a second, Milind threw his head back and chuckled deeply. Realising what she just blurted out, Prachi buried her crimson face in his chest with a whimper. Hugging her tightly, Milind whispered, "Now, that's really bad, isn't it? None of the next few days will pass without me kissing you properly, okay. That's a promise" and hugged her even tighter as she buried her face even deeper. "Why are you so sweet, Prachi?", he whispered again near her ear.
Vicky sat up and brushed his hand through his hair and checked his watch. It was almost 5 am. Getting up quickly, he walked towards the washroom. Something near the door caught his eyes, and he rubbed his sleepy eyes for a proper look and his eyes almost popped out. Sitting near the door, Milind was fast asleep, with Prachi snug against him, her head on his shoulder and his arm around her. Muttering a curse, Vicky walked towards them and careful as to not disturb Prachi, he gave a soft smack on Milind's head. "Milind…..wake up", he hissed.
After smacking twice, Milind opened his eyes groggily, "Hey………what's up bro?", he asked annoyed.
"You idiot, what are you guys upto? What if someone comes and sees you like this? Tongues will wag unnecessarily", hissed Vicky again.
Still half-asleep, Milind looked at him confused and his eyes widened as he realised that Prachi was sleeping in his arms. "Oh god, I didn't know when we fell asleep, man", he said.
"Whatever, now get up and go to your beds" Vicky admonished and stopped Milind as he was about to shake Prachi awake, "Wait, let me go from here. If she sees me here, she won't look me in the eye for the next few days", he rolled his eyes, remembering her hurrying past him with lowered eyes, the night before.
Grinning at Vicky, Milind nodded, "Yeah, you are right. Thanks, Mate". Vicky shook his head and quickly disappeared into the toilet. Milind shook Prachi awake gently, "Prachi, get up. Its almost morning, wake up baby". Prachi woke with a start and seeing Milind so close to her, she realised that she had fallen asleep in his arms. Quickly looking around she relaxed that there was no one around and blushed on seeing his unwavering gaze on her face. With sleep filled eyes and pink face and tousled hair, which was tousled more because of his hands, Milind found her even more beautiful. "Good morning, honey", he said gently, placing a soft kiss on her lips. "Off you go back to bed now, before someone catches us", he patted her cheek. Smiling shyly, Prachi wished him goodmorning and quickly sneaked back into her bed. She smiled again, snuggling deep into the sheets, "What a way to begin the day?" she thought shyly. The day was just beginning and they would reach Metupalayam in less than one and half hours. She closed her eyes again as the sun rays sneaked in through the windows softly.
