EP 13 - Pizza

"I'm fine Abhi, stop fussing about me. This is too much, I feel hot now." Akshara complained as Abhimanyu bundled her up in what you can call a 'blanket mountain'. She was discharged yesterday from the hospital.

When she went to work this morning, she felt tired for some reason. Abhi, who saw her state didn't waste a second doing the check-up and bringing her back home.

"Yeah right, you told me you were okay yesterday and now you have a fever. I'm not listening to you anymore" Abhimanyu grumbled making Akshu huff in annoyance.

"I just had a teeny bit of ice cream and maybe have turned the AC a little bit high, but I'm okay now. Can I have pizza please, it's been a week since I had the dose of my junk food." she pleased with her puppy dog eyes, making Abhi's eyes soften.

God knows how he was resisting those eyes for a week. He was a mess, he couldn't ever say no to her especially when she was acting all cute. But this involved her health, so Abhimanyu didn't want to take any chances.

He gently placed his hand on her forehead, it was a little less hot than before. He caressed her face, making Akshara who was frowning over his protectiveness look at him in surprise. Seeing this, he managed to suppress his feelings, not to overwhelm her.

"You milady can eat pizza but on one condition-" Abhi couldn't complete his sentence when Akshu squealed and jumped on him.

Not expecting her to do that, he loses his balance, falling back on the bed and Akshu on top of him still hugging.

"Thank you thank you thank you" she was so excited that she didn't even realize that she was straddling him on his stomach, his hands on her bare waist, that her crop top couldn't cover.

It didn't help the case of Abhi, who was suddenly surrounded by her fragrance, her warm body fitting perfectly with his hard one. He struggled to breathe while his heart was pumping as if he was on a roller coaster.

He could feel her, every inch of her body, her curves, the softness of her skin that his hands were touching. Her long hair teased his neck, making him go crazy. However, he had to control his feelings otherwise his body would do something he would probably regret.

"Akshu..." He was about to gently push Akshara when she did something giving him an electrifying shock. She kissed him, on his cheek.

"Thank you, Abhi" In excitement, Akshara didn't realize what she did. She hurriedly got up from him to make the call to the pizza place, leaving a flabbergasted Abhi behind.

Abhimanyu was never the kind of guy who would blush, but this sudden action of hers made him feel as if his cheeks were on fire. He lay in the same position, looking up at the ceiling, blushing like a high school kid. He groaned, stomping his legs in the air, hiding his red face in his hands.

"You'll kill me someday, Akshu"

"Yummmmm... this is so good. This is what people call heaven." Akshara moaned as she took a bite of her extra cheesy pizza.

"This is good. I wonder how I never tried it before." Abhi said, eating the first bite. When Akshu didn't say anything for a few seconds, he looked up to see her looking at him in shock.

"What?" Abhi asked, making her gasp so loudly that Abhi would think she got a heart attack if he didn't know her overdramatic ass.

"YOU NEVER HAD PIZZA BEFORE?" She screeched, making him cover his ears.

"Yes, Akshu. What's the big deal? It's just pizza and I hate junk." he shrugged, making Akshu go another level of dramatic if she wasn't enough before.

She stood up on the table, looking at him accusingly.

"OH MY GOD! How am I even friends with this guy? You boring person- you don't know what you were missing in your life. How could refer to this godly creation as 'just pizza'? How could you, you mean inconsiderate jerk? Apologize to the holy pizza right now!" She said, holding up a slice of pizza in front of him, making him roll his eyes.

"You want my handsome intelligent self, to apologize to something that is anything but healthy? No, I won't Ms. Goenka. And FYI, you are the one who will be eating that thing you want me to apologize to. So, who's the mean one here?" Abhi asked, crossing his arms and raising his eyebrow.

Akshara gasped, placing her hand on her heart. She pouted and looked at the slice of pizza in her hand, then at him and again at the pizza. She decided to surrender the already lost war, and eat her favourite food.

Abhi chuckled as he looked at his Akshu, who was now sitting on the sofa, eating with her mouth full of cheese.

Gosh, he loved that woman, her naughtiness, her childlike behaviour, her kindness, her frankness and her dramatic self. She was his everything, and he knew he had to confess soon otherwise he won't be able to control himself anymore.
