Five Weeks by Shruti Omar (ebook reader that looks like a book .TXT) 📗

“Stop wriggling and let me sleep!" Yuvraaj murmured hoarsely and tugged her head firmly in his chest. He inhaled and rested his chin upon her head.  

Like an obedient toddler, Anahita ceased her movements and snuggled closer. Her eye lids were almost heavy with the prolonging of slumber but his roving fingers under her top, on her waist had her jerked away. Her sudden action made her forehead bump against his chin to which he groaned, blinking his eyes. “What the hell?”

“Sorry!” Anahita intoned, adjusting her hair. Her eyes flicker on her phone. It showed half past seven.  

“Do not disturb me." Yuvraaj tossed on other side, covering himself with comforter. Glancing one last time at her, she landed on her feet and padded to the balcony door, stretching her limbs. She made a bun of her tousled hair and leaned on the banister, cushioned in the ocean breeze. It was providing her calmness. Under the blanket of night, ocean's beauty was inexplicable. She cupped her face resting her arms on the banister and listen the music of waves. A chuckle escaped her lips as her hungry stomach rumbled. She recalled that they skipped lunch.

“Room service? Yeah, there's this thing in your menu called Chicken Casserole, make it two. Three-cheese pizza, two plates of plain noodles and two chocolate truffle pastries, yes…that would be all. Thank you!” She ordered and glanced at Yuvraaj who was sleeping dead.

“Yuvi,” She tested his nickname, tapping his shoulder. The initial tapping resulted in a tug of war with him. “Yuvraaj! Get up. Our dinner has arrived. Get up you lazy slug!”

"Get lost!" He responded with equal frizz, snatching his blanket.

“Fine then, don't blame me.” she contorted her face and pulled the comforter with all her might. At the same time, Yuvraaj threw the blanket away and it made her stumble. She toppled on the floor with blanket on her face. She winced as her butt got numb with the impact. She shot a glare at him, removing blanket off her face and patiently waited for him to burst into laughter, so that she could pounce on him with all the curses she'd stopped uttering.

Jolted awake, he dashed to her and helped her in standing up, “Get up! I didn't know you're going to pull the blanket. Are you hurt?"

"Did you really not know that I was going to pull the blanket?" She asked sternly. She knew him better; he would laugh sooner or later.

"No. I didn't." He refused, calmly and she threw the comforter on him, "Okay fine, fold it now and join me. I think you must be hungry."

“Anyways, did it hurt badly?" Yuvraaj pressed his fist on his lips and the way his shoulders jumped, she knew he was laughing. She fixed him with a cold stare.

"I....you...Yuvraaj!" She punched him, ready to do some serious damage on his body but he blocked her swiftly, by holding her hands captive. "You should stop messing with me Anahita if you do not want to scratch your butt." He grinned, unapologetically. She joined him too after a short while.

"Um...if you're not tired, let's hop up to the beach after dinner. I am not going to bed early tonight." He suggested, disappearing in the bathroom.

"Sounds good," A walk in the beach together didn't sounds fatal to her.
