I plopped down on the couch, lying carelessly, not even bothering enough to dispose my heels.I shut my strained eyes close, feeling the exhaustion run in my nerves.I wasn't used to the work routine yet and it was inevitable to be extremely tired by the end of the day.To be honest, I never really had a great stamina to pull off. I usually sulked after work, irritable and annoyed like mad.I groaned loudly hearing my phone ring. I hated the iPhone vibrations more than anything.I took out my mobile from the handbag with Abeer's name flashing on the screen."Are you mad or what?? Or you think I am?" I snapped at him immediately.He was always the best target to get off with my exasperation.

I could feel Virat twist and turn behind me restlessly. I could gauge his discomfort because I was in the same situation as him or say even worse because he was still used to changing beds unlike me. A day's long flight had rendered me exhausted and completely drained, upsetting my back. I had been trying to doze off for the last two hours but to no use because my sleep laden eyes were only staring at the starlit sky through the window.I had become badly used to my bed back in London and though India was home, the first day here always felt so alien and str

"Fuck." Virat grunted and I moaned biting my lips, clutching onto his shoulders tight." Virat." I groaned, unable to hold onto the momentum any more.I finally released myself, my eyes rolling back in pleasure, my breath sporadic and my heart beat erratic.Virat sucked my collar bone, squeezing my breast, his eyes still shut with the sensation.I kept my head on his shoulder, wrapping my arms around his neck, hugging him lazily." Tired already?" He cooed, pecking my disheveled hair." Yeah." I giggled, kissing his skin in contact with my lips." Oh no Virat." I whined as water drizzled over us from the shower." Get rid of that condom first." I complained in my accent, my features twisted in disgust." It's so dirty." I exclaimed, reaching for the tap and switching it off.

I still dream that I'd wake up, with you in my arms and all of this being nothing but a nightmare.I still wish it to happen somehow, with any magic or miracle it requires. I swear I'd give my everything to wake up like that. I had no clue where we fell weak Aira. I still couldn't believe that our love wasn't enough for us?How could our families be so cruel and selfish Aira?

 "Hello?" I greeted him and a smiled broke through his tired face. "Hey." He groggily replied, giving me a side hug. "Didn't sleep?" "Nah." I wrapped the shawl around myself more properly. "Couldn't without you. Was reading." "I don't want my kid to be a nerd." He chuckled lightly as I followed him upstairs into the bedroom. "Reading is so much more than what you think of it." I took out clothes for him as he freshened up. "How was the dinner by the way?" "Good." He replied briefly, changing his shirt.
