Bath Services
she woke at 6:18, it still rained... she made herself coffee and modeled her new clothing, one after the other for herself, some she took selfies of
Particularly the pintura ball skirt, the gilded rose maxi skirt, a polka dotted maxi skirt with a cute sleeveless blouse that needed to be knotted upfront
She lay 5 down on the closet floor and walked around it, and finally picked a wrap around floral silk skirt in gold and cobalt blue with a cobalt blue blouse
She was ready, at 7:40 in her new outfit and he still slept
she went over to the bed after puttering around for 20 mins trying out different hair styles, finally settling for a scarf tied around a pony tail style
"Hey ezhundiko da" she begged (wake up)
He groaned and did not turn, she gently pushed the hair off his temple
And kissed his now healing bruise on his temple
"If u need pity points u need to get a hair cut, love" she cooed softly
And went still... absolutely still at the use of the last word, like she frequently did with Nandu and Shravu and lasya
"Umm.. I mean" she mumbled retracing her path "U know u need to show the scar in full view" she said
Kissing his cheek...
"I am all dressed up and have nowhere to go" she whispered
He groaned and pulled away...
She lay by him "U wake me every morning.. I am returning the favor" she whispered
"I tried all the maxi and midi skirts, but did not try any of the sun dresses, or the jeans, adu nalaikki" (thats tomorrow)
"The back row seats are still available if u want to watch" she giggled
"I am just dying to wear the polka dot one to Sam's and have Sam dress Lasya in her polka dot dress and we can be like twins"
"When I go out with the boys, I will wear that edgy check shirt with the jeans since its all about being "One of em" she said with air quotes
She lay in bed talking to herself, looking up at the fan... smiling
He opened his eyes partially to look and half smiled
"U dont even care if anyone's listening?" he asked gruffly pulling her closer
"Nee pesavum maate kekavum maate. what will I do with all the words buried within me" (u wont talk or listen) she demanded
"So u just decided to go solo?" he asked agreeably
"Pinne?" (what else shud I do?) she asked
He gently slid over her and kisses every inch of bare skin
"I miss ur(Mysore sandal) soap" he said she smelled like lavender... a soap she had got yest
"Its called Sofie la Girafe" (Anthro brand)"
"Its made with dead girafe?" he chuckled being a "men just dont get it" guy
She punched him "NOOO... its the scent of irises" "Genius" she said bitingly
"Do u smell like this all over?" he asked
"Umm.. y" she stopped...
"Umm no... I smell like sugar cane vanilla bean and jasmine" she said smugly
"Its called Relax... since I need to relax... down there" she whispered cracking herself up
His hand rolled her skirt up
"Vendaam da... I just showered u are crushing and crumpling my new skirt,
I modeled for a half hour before picking this one..." he had undone the knot by the time she finished her breathless sentence
"what time's the flight..." she whispered and hour or so later...
"1 :12 PM" he said
"Oh good... coz its only 9" she sniggered
"Fix my coffee" he ordered, rubbing his chin all over her bare back
"and give u a bath?" "Clip ur nails? a shave?" she asked
"sure... if u have enough free time" he said glibly
She didnt bother wearing her clothes , yet just wrapped her sheet
And went to fix his coffee
"If u need a bath, I want u in the shower in 10" she ordered
He read the newspaper on the living room couch twirling his hair
"I can do that, u drink ur coffee, lets multi task" she giggled
she twirled his locks and he sipped with a half smile...
"I am making the beds... poi KULI DA" she yelled after a while... he was BURIED in the French paper
He raised a hand indicating FIVE minutes...
she tidied... he had tidied the kitchen loaded the dishwasher all on his Bday night, when she was too drunk
He stood like a robot, she stretched his arm out, for soaping
she soaped him under his arms... on his shoulders, neck, behind his ears, as he bend down for her.. she lingered on his shin scar from the skate boarding accident
She unwrapped the plastic wrap on his elbow bandage
She applied too much shave foam... didnt do the down ward motion quite right, he held her wrist and dragged for her, she focus deeply... trying to get crany
"U have too much hair" she said sitting on the bath counter
He nodded
"U need to wake a half hour early if u plan to shave" she said sternly
He nodded
"Inda side correct aa irukka" (is this cheek ok?") she asked
He turned to scan, she gently leaned and kissed the smooth cheek😳
He stopped, froze... they stared at each other through the reflection
Time stood still❤️
"Umm... I " she began
"I shud let u do the other cheek" she said blushing gloriously
"Thanks for the shower"😳 he muttered, hoping she would be lil less self conscious
She was too shy to suddenly look up at his eyes
"Umm... any time... u can find me in Yellow Pages" 😉she muttered, trembling
"do u give baths too?" ☺️he asked, watching her rinse her hand on her sink
"Only if the guy has tattoos" she whispered.. breathless☺️
She packed her favorite outfits, packed his clothes all in his suit case
"Umm.." she lingered, mumbling
"I might have to pick up something... for my" she mumbled
He could tell what she needed
"There is a Pharmacie around the block, do u want to walk down?" he asked reaching for his wallet
"Umm... I have some Euros left" she nodded embarrassed
Her phone pinged, where it was charging
"Rs. 2.5 lakhs credited" the bank text said
Her heart skipped a beat, it was the end of the month, the bi weekly pay day was not until Friday July 3rd
She went online to her Account
It showed a BNP transfer
He was in his office by them going through stacks of papers
"U gave me money?" she asked
"for the air tickets" he said not looking at her
"Umm... it was only economy" she mumbled "Rs. 87,116" or something" she said tucking her imaginary lock behind her ear
He was looking at her now
"I paid u for first class" he said expressionlessly
"But... mera matlab... it was ur Bday present... I didnt bring anything for u" she was ashamed
"U can get me my present now" he said with a glint in the eye
"Clothes?" she asked curiously
"I'll think of something" he murmured, his eyes on her lips and neck
SHE LET HER MIND RACE
SHUD I FIGHT?
OR SHUD I LET GO?
HE WILL KILL ME IF I SAY I DONT WANT THE MONEY
HES SPENT ATLEAST 5 THOUSAND USD ON ME SINCE YESTERDAY
YIKES!!!!
UMM... TOO MUCH
"Ive gotten presents for ur Bday" she began her whine
"II" he warned her
"Thitaade" she begged (dont scold me)
"then dont provoke me" he challenged
They shot daggers at each other
"did u tell Bally u need three extra days?" he challenged
"ayyo ille" (Oh! No!) she realized
"the cab'll get here in 40 mins" he said ending her call for battle
