CHAPTER 79 : "Kyuki Friction se Hi Spark Hota hai.!"

"When i said Stay With Me, I didnt mean on couch."

Avni grumbled, frowning at the jacket that Neil has tossed on the curvy-armrest of the elongated three seater cozy couch with throngs of cushions, sitting across the outsized, leathered-platform, round bed thats presently occupying a grumpy Avni, half-sitting against the bedpost. Neil's slightly dialated pupils conveyed her the precision with which she has read his plans about the sleeping arrangement.

"Damn, This gal.!!!!"

She is single piece of her kind, worth displaying in museum, but with exclusive rights to Neil Khanna.

How effortlessly she had dropped the "Stay with me" bomb on him, like its as easy as a pie. All his little protests, that itself were languid to begin with and contradictory to the enthusiasm in his eyes, were outwited by her pleading doe-eyes and puppy pout. Even his final Morality Card - that it will be insulting if anyone found out about their staying together before marriage - proved to be fruitless in front of the fluttering of her eyelids.

Where the hell she is acquiring the expertise of Eye-Manipulations.? The girl is using everything from a tiny lash of her eyelids to her toe-nail, as her proficient weapons against him. And he know, he doesnt stand a chance.!

Ever since they had entered this huge, aesthetically designed, tri-roomed Villa, he has been avoiding an obvious eye contact with her, too scared of his own overflowing eagerness and desires. One look from her - reflecting even the quarter of what he must be wearing now - will all it take for his wayward hormones to overrule his wiser part of brain.

He adopted the convinient pretence of observing the eye-pleasing interiors of the Villa, that reflects a perfect mix of traditions and modernisation. By now he had almost memorised the designs on the carpeted floors, on the rich tapestries hung by the windows and the arched doorways, and on the frescoes that style the ceiling. Even the furnitures and the decor is by heart to him. The living room was more consitent with the vogue than other rooms which were antiquated.

"Neil..!!" Her melodious voice fused the circuit of his thoughts and waranted him to look at her.

"We can share the Bed. Its not like i am gonna Rape You." She joked, Dragging her body to one corner of bed and patting on the other side for him to join.

"How i wish.!" Neil muttered with his signature smile.

As he eased his body on the side of the bed assigned to him, Avni couldnt help but refill her vision with the series of images popping up from an almost similar situation from past, images of his gorgeous body wraped in Her White Robe, lying beside her in her bed, just like this.
(Sawli si Raat ho sequence from Chap 25 and 26)

The physical tiredness and emotional exhaution of the long day soon took over, and Avni drifted to a peaceful sleep beholding the picture of his smiling face close to her heart, only to find the same reflection later in her dreams.

On the other hand, Neil couldnt sleep a wink. He was too conscious of her presence next to him, and too petrified of his own disobedient course of thoughts and actions.

At present, his eyes are travelling - in not so decent way - all over her sprawled alluring frame, fortunately facing his side. Thankfully she has changed out of her satin, slinky dress that only enhanced her well-endowed, curvaceous body, or else he would have himself done it for her. His fingers were longing to dip in the ocean of smoothness that her skin is.

She doesnt need the plastic-coating of multiple layers, for her charm swirls through naturally with the potential to entice the greek gods themselves. Hadnt she wrapped up the most handsome in-demand Millionaire around her little finger.?

For a moment, he was almost lured to ditch his virtues, pin her against him to discover and devour the concealed part of the beauty that this woman can offer. But the very next moment his rectitude resurfaced along with a long speech of morality in his head. Great, he is now divided into two halves which are at loggerheads now.

Hadnt he taken Another Suite which is Way too away from her villa, for some Reason.?

When his notorious brain didnt stop supplying him with tempting inappropriate conclusions that this night could head into, he tightly shut his eyes and turned to face away from her. Eventually he would have dozed off, had it not been for Avni confiscating more than half of the bed and kept igniting the sparks in his malleable body by the trivial touches and grazes of her limbs, every now and then.

Sometimes later, the light sleep that Neil had onerously managed to acheive, was again disturbed by the rise and dip of the mattress beside him followed by mild shuffling around the room. He didnt dare to open his eyes for few minutes untill the ruffling sound subsided and silence greeted his senses.

Curiosity compelled him to unshutter his eyes with the plan of ushering him to the Most Divine and sublime sight, which is more beautiful than his dreams. A few feets away from bed, Avni was sitting on her folded legs and feet over a Carpet, with her palms extended in front of her face and lips were reciting some silent words, covering her head and neck in a plain off-white dupatta. His eyes instinctively darted to the wall clock which displayed fifteen past 5.

It wasnt a genius guess that She was offering her first Morning Prayer to Allah, Fajr. And like a lightening bolt, it hit his clogged senses that She is Half-Muslim, as far as her parentage is concerned. The realisation that she was willingly following both her lineage, filled his heart with venearation and pride for the girl who belongs to him.

He take in moments to absorb the celestial sight in his memory, as he followed her movements and actions during the Prayer. How he wished and craved to start each of his days with such positive vibes and this majestic view. He wont be lying if he say, he is looking forward to a Future brighter than the sunshine.

He wasnt planning to take his eyes off her, but was forced to as she begun to get up and fold the Carpet she was sitting on.

After placing the Carpet in the Wardrobe, Avni tucked herself in the bed that is occupying the entity of her recent interest, sleeping peacefuly with his folded hand secured beneath his head. She dragged herself closer and propped up on her elbow to have an unimpeded look of his innocent sleepy form.

Playing with his soft curly hairs, she trailed a finger down his forehead and around the curve of his eye saying, "Voh Aur Honge Jinhone Mangi Hongi Duae, Hame toh Sab Kuch Mil Gaya Bina Lab Hilae."

She wasnt certain but she had felt a tiny twitch around his lips as if they were about to lift up in a cute smile.

She didnt know what has gotten into her earlier that She had authoritatively demanded him to stay back, nor she is interested to know. All she knows is having him beside her feels so Right and beyond perfect. The thought of him going away from her had set her grey cells into panic and she impulsively clinged onto him as the only hope. Neverthless, He would never deny her, of him.

She has long ago established the fact that she is insanely attracted to this one and only Man who is bound to her for lifetime and even beyond. Whenever He Is this close, she would cease to exist without the compensation by hitch in her breath and heartrate. But All attractions are Not Love, and attraction should never be the foundation of Love. Consequently, She is tormented between the pool of her own emotions.

Endlessly admiring her sleeping beauty is something she would never get tired of. She skimmed her hand over his stubble, letting the bristles prick on her finger tips. Automatically, an enchanting smile enriched her face as she remember their cute banter from a week ago. Apparently, Neil wanted to experiment with his look, sacrificing his beard. Thats when She had shamelessly blurted out her liking for his stubbly face and that she is going to abandon him if he ever think of shaving it off.

Cupping one side of his face in her hand, she leaned forward to nuzzle around his cheek and placed a feathery kiss over his nose-tip, lest she would wake him up. Satisfied of the Visual tour of her recently growing fetish aka his Gorgeous Face, she was about to retreat when his free arm flung around her waist, preventing any form of possible movement from her side.

Her startled eyes searched for any sign of wakefulness on his face, only to get nothing.

Finally she quit fighting her urges and embraced what fate has in store for her. As she rested her cheek on his chest - right above the Beating Treasure that rightfully is named after her - and snuggled closer, she felt a slight tug of his palm over her waist, drawing her more into his body.

Her toe has found the ticklish spot on his feet and she absentmindedly began tracing the length of his feet with her toe, untill he carelessly slung his leg over her, to turn the tables. Now her leg is intimately entangled in between his muscular ones, and every inch of her feet is being gently caressed by his. The feelings it invoked is churning her stomach and wracking her insides.

Placing a tender kiss on the underside of his chin, hiding herself in the security of his arms, she embraced the World of oblivion which will soon be illuminated by lights of new dreams.

**Next Day/ 9th jan**

The morning misty rays enforced Avni's dopey eyes to flutter, squeez and finally unshutter. Her first instinct was to pat on the other side of the bed, only to find it empty. Where is Neil.?

Last she remembered, he was lying entwined with her like a disarrayed mess of tufts of wool, where it was difficult to say as to which limb belong to whom.

Her eyes rolled and sweeped through the room to locate the sole reason of the best part of her morning, standing right in front of the full length mirror beside the wardrobe, conspiring to conceal her Neil behind the suave of the well fitted, tailored suited persona of Mr. Millionaire.

As she has began to know and discover the simplicity of her Neil, she is on the brink of forgetting the other side of his personality which doesnt thrill her anymore.

Neil was focussed in knotting his Neck-tie when he heard a slight shuffle behind him. He raised his head to meet her gaze in mirror's reflection and acknowledged her with his charming smile.

"Good Morning Kitten.!"

He couldnt decipher whether it was the endearment, or his smile, or his voice, or simply this sweet morning, but Her face split into the brightest Smile he has ever seen.

"Good Morning.! So, Mr. Millionaire is back in Action.?"

"Just for half of the day.! I have 2 important meetings lined up, one is in the Restaurant of this Palace itself and the other is in town. I'l directly join you for the lunch."

She is sure she had made the worst face at the information as she saw him snickering.

"Hmm.. Its better if you'l come leaving behind Mr. Millionaire in town only."

His snicker transformed to full blown laughter as he turned to proceed towards her.

"Try not to miss me beyond limits. Wont be able to handle bouts of hiccups" he said bending down to place an amorous kiss on her forehead, before ruffling her already tousled hairs.

"In your Dreams.!" She adopted a bored expression while he couldnt help but grin.

To be Continued...
