The atmosphere at the breakfast table was light, and silent. An awkward one. Thabal was nibbling shyly at her breakfast. Kavita was serving them and eating her own at the same time too, yet she couldn't meet their eyes. The only shameless one was Vikram.
Vikram kept stealing glances at Thabal, with a small smirk on his face. Oh he was so much enjoying this.
"Mausi. Aaj kuch pack mat karna. Program hai aaj ek chota sa. Udhar kha lunga mein" he cleared his throat and informed. Kavita nodded stiffly, still looking at her plate. Eating quickly, as if trying to run away from the dining table.
He turned to Thabal and saw her shy self, sipping her tea quietly. With an evil smirk, he placed his hand on her thigh and Thabal almost choked on her tea.
Vikram immediately leaned forward, patting her back a little too gently, a little too intimately.
"Arre aram se. Aise kon pita hai chai" he said, voice low and teasing. She shot him a glare sharp enough to cut glass. He only raised an eyebrow in response, utterly pleased with himself.
"Hato" she whispered embarrassed and looked away from him. Vikram just chuckled at her response. Kavita smiled with her head down. She could feel the air getting softer and different. A nice kind of different.
She cleared her throat and stood up, picking up her plate.
"Mein jara kam kar leti hoon. Tum log aache se jana" she said quickly and left the table without another word. The moment she disappeared into the kitchen, Thabal exhaled sharply.
"Aapko sharam nahi aati?" she hissed under her breath.
"Hmmmmm. Shayad se aati hai, par tumhare samne woh pata nahi kidhar chala jata hai" Vikram replied, humming while leaning back in his chair. To which Thabal slapped on his arm real quick.
"Ow, subah subah hi maar pit shuru?" he muttered, grinning.
“Sab aapki wajah se hai. Aunty ko itna awkward feel ho raha hoga" she whispered yell, face heating up.
"Par kiss toh tum bhi equally kar rahi thi" he pointed out with a light teasing smirk. Her spoon froze mid-air. Slowly, she looked at him.
"Aap chup raho" she glared at him. He laughed softly, the sound warm and cozy.
"Thik hai, madam" he leaned closer to her teasingly.
She didn't believe him for a second. With a scoff she continued eating. Vikram watched her eat and then sip on her tea. Watching her eat became his favourite thing to do unknowingly.
There was a sense of comfort in just watching her eating contently. Oh he was a goner. He felt a rush of emotions in him. Is this what people describe love as? Does a partner get happy watching their lover eating?
"Vikram" he was broken out of his trance when Thabal called him, clutching on his arm. Shaking him slightly.
"Hmm?" He hummed, now back to reality. Thabal frowned at his weird behaviour.
"Kya hogaya aapko. Tabiyat kharab hai?" She asked with concern and placed her palm on his forehead, checking his temperature. Vikram slightly smiled at it.
He loved her touches. He really does. Her single touch was enough to create havoc inside him yet at the same time calm his storm down.
"Kuch nahi bas soch raha tha itni pyaari kaise lag sakti ho" he whispered in daze, staring at her while his corner of his lips turned up. Thabal froze for a second before blushing hard.
"Aap apni yeh sab baatein side pe karo. Hamesha shuru ho jate ho. Sharam toh pata nahi kidhar chor diya" she muttered under her breath and stood up from her chair, gathering both their plates.
Vikram smiled and chuckled.
"Yeh sab rakhdo. Mausi kar legi. Tum late hojawogi. Jawo. Get ready" he ushered her. But Thabal the stubborn one shook her head in no.
"It's okay mein kar lungi. Jyada late nahi hoga. Time pe hojayega sab" she assured and was just walking away when.
"Biwi wale harkate abhi se hi? Hmm?" He teased with a smirk. Thabal felt her cheeks flushed. Gritting her teeth she looked back at his direction and fired a glare.
"Basic etiquette hai. Aap nahi samjhenge" she huffed and walked away. Leaving him smiling to herself.
"Hmm" he sighed softly watching her delicate figure moving inside his kitchen.
'Meri choti si jaan' he thought internally. He would do anything for her. Anything.
🦋🦋🦋-------------
Vikram drove toward her college, the silence in the jeep was comfortable. Thabal wore a knee length floral frock. His right hand was on the steering wheel, while the left one was intertwined with hers, his thumb tracing circles over her knuckles.
"Aaj classes ke baad wait with your friends outside. We will go shopping" he said, his gaze fixed on the road. Thabal felt her eyes lightened up at it but then the next second frowned slightly.
"Shopping? Kis liye?" She asked in confusion. Vikram pulled up at the college gate, the sight of the students filled the view. He turned to her, a soft smile playing on his lips.
"Tumhe jo chahiye le lena. Ask your friends to buy something for themselves too. I owe them for taking care of you" he smiled charmingly.
"Vikram. Insab ki jarurat nahi hai. Mujhe abhi kuch nahi chahiye. I have everything-" her words were cut off when he leaned in and pecked on her lips.
"But I want more for you" he whispered, caressing her cheek. Thabal looked at him intently and then leaned forward, kissing on the tip of his nose. She smiled and backed away.
"Bye. Take care" she whispered and opened the door of the jeep. Grabbing her bag she turned to go, before waving at her for the last time.
As she walked a few steps away, he suddenly called.
"Oi, Nungshibi!" Thabal froze on her steps. She abruptly turned to him, eyes widened in surprise. Vikram was smirking, knowing the effect well on her.
(Love)
"Aapko pata bhi hai aap kya bol rahe ho?" She whispered yelled at him. Frowning at him.
"Haan bilkul. I am getting secret lessons afterall" he winked at her teasingly. Thabal blushed furiously, her heart flipping a beat. The name did something to her. She looked away from him and turned to walk inside the university campus, feeling his intense stare on her back.
Vikram waited till she walked a few steps ahead, eyes following her until she merged into the campus crowd. Only then did he start the jeep and drive away, with a smile on his face.
The moment she entered the university building, she spotted the two monkeys. But along with them came the looks, smirks and the knowing eyes.
"Good morning, madam ji" Meera said sweetly, lips curling up in a smirk. Thabal groaned and continued walking along with them.
"Is this a blush I am seeing?" Shreya popped up beside her with a grin.
"Tum dono subah-subah shuru ho gaye" Thabal sighed rubbing her forehead. Meera leaned closer, lowering her voice dramatically.
"So kaisa raha 16 hours with Mr officer? Woh bhi ek hi ghar pe. Shayad ek hi room pe bhi?" She whispered teasingly.
"Chuppp!" Thabal whispered yelled and quickly looked around in panic, to see if anyone heard her.
They dragged her toward the stairs, laughing. A couple of juniors stared openly, whispering to each other. Thabal tried to ignore it, but her heart kept racing. Shreya bumped her shoulder lightly.
"Relax. Tumhare face pe likha hua hai" She assured with a grin.
"Kya?" Thabal asked in confusion.
"Khushi" Meera replied simply. Shreya grinned more widely. So wide that her cheeks started hurting.
"Aur thodi si romance wali glow bhi" she added with a sly wink.
"Oi" Thabal almost shouted, smacking the back of her head in embarrassment.
"Aare baby. Chill" Sherya laughed patting her arm in a comforting yet mocking manner. Thabal covered her face with her hands.
"Mujhe zameen mein gaad do" she muttered with a groan. Meera wrapped an arm around her and chuckled.
"Chal class pe. Teri khabar baad pe lenge warna Miss Roy pehle hamari khabar legi" Meera said and they walked up the stairs, to their physics class.
"Waise he said to wait for him after classes. Hum teeno ko" Thabal informed, suddenly remembering his words. Meera and Shreya both frowned in confusion hearing her.
"Hain? Hum dono kyu?" Shreya asked.
"Woh he said shopping pe le jayega" Thabal said, almost shyly, adjusting the strap of her bag on her shoulder.
For a second, there was dead silence. Then Shreya screeched, stopping mid step on the stairs.
"KYA?!" She exclaimed in shock. Meera turned so fast she almost lost her balance.
"Shopping? Like really? But bhai hum kyu? Matlab-" Meera rambled, confused and jumbled up. Thabal winced cutting her off.
"Itna chillao mat. Sab sun lenge" Meera grabbed her shoulders dramatically.
"Girl. Do you even understand what you just said? Officer saab is taking us shopping? Matlab kyu? Kaise? How?" She gasped in shock.
"Haa. Well. I guess it's his way of thanking you all. Usko lagta hai you both are taking care of me well so he owes you both" Thabal sighed and mumbled. Shreya grinned slowly.
"Oh hoooo" she hooted. Thabal closed her eyes in shyness. Aghhh. Now they will start again.
"Mr officer doesn't keep any debt" Meera teased, clearing her throat in a dramatic manner.
"Chup karo tum log" Thabal grunted and started walking faster, not wanting to be teased by them anymore.
The two followed behind her, laughing at her embarrassed self.
🦋🦋🦋-------------
The trio walked out of the University campus at 2:30 pm. They reached the main gate together, standing under the shade while students slowly walked out. Thabal kept glancing at the road, her heartbeat picking up every time a vehicle slowed down.
Then she saw it. The familiar jeep pulled up smoothly near the gate. Vikram sat inside, sunglasses on, sleeves rolled up, looking completely out of place among college students ,and yet, like he owned the entire road.
"Munda kukkad kamal da" Meera sang near Thabal with a teasing smirk, looking at the way she was gazing at him nonstop.
"Tut tu ru rut tut" Shreya continued the next tune. Thabal glanced at them and threw them a fake glare, making them laugh out loud.
Vikram watched her, he removed his glasses and smiled at her softly. With his eyes, he gestured for her to come sit inside.
Thabal inched towards him and his jeep. Vikram leaned towards the door and opened it for her. She adjusted her dress and climbed in securely.
The two followed behind her too. A bit hesitant to sit. Vikram noticed it. He turned to them, opening his glasses.
"Hope on" he said slowly, trying to soften his voice so that he doesn't sound rude at all. Meera and Shreya looked at each other for a second before grinning and getting in.
The air inside the jeep was a mix of Vikram's calm composure and the sudden, high voltage energy of two excited girls.
"Sir sir! Aapko Thabal ke baare mein kuch pata hai?" Shreya chimed in with a mischievous smile. Vikram smiled and looked at Thabal, who was giving warning looks to her. He kept his left hand on her knee and caressed it lightly.
"Pata toh bohot kuch nahi hai. Abhi dheere dheere pata lagega. Bolo tum. Kya extraordinary batana baki hai meri Chand ke baare mein" and as soon as he finished, the girls started hooting loudly.
"Chup! Insaan hoki bhediye. Hamesha uuuu karte rehte ho" Thabal snapped half annoyed and half embarrassed.
"Woh kya haina. Thabal ko raat pe sote huwe laath marne ki aadat hai" Shreya said with a grin, ignoring the glares which Thabal threw at her.
"Achaa" Vikram said and chuckled. Thabal fumed at him.
"Kya aacha? Meine kaha laath mara. Mein marti hoon kya?" She glared at him furiously. Vikram smirked a bit and turned to face her.
"Mujhe kya pata" he shrugged his shoulders so casually that it offended her. Thabal narrowed her eyes at him and punched him on his shoulder.
"Kya matlab mujhe kya pata. Meine kal aapko laath mara kya. Aache se hi toh soyi mein. Aapko-" she suddenly paused when she realised what she just blurted. Her eyes widened in realisation. Fuck.
The silence that followed later was so thick, it could be sliced in half. The jeep felt ten degrees hotter. Vikram didn't even try to hide it anymore,he let out a low, vibrating chuckle that hummed through the steering wheel.
"Oh hooooooo" the two girls hooted teasingly.
"Chup karo tum log, asa kuch nahi hai. Mein matlab. Mein woh-" Thabal tried to scramble for an excuse, her hands flying up in a frantic, meaningless gesture.
"Haan behen haan. Hum samaj gaye. Sab samaj gaye" Meera sighed dramatically whereas Shreya snickered, enjoying the drama.
Thabal turned her head so fast toward the window she nearly gave herself whiplash. She could see her own reflection in the side mirror, she looked like a ripe tomato.
"Ac ka temperature aur kam kardu?" Vikram leaned towards her a bit and whispered playfully.
"Chup karo aap. Sab aapki wajah se huwa hai" she whispered yelled to him, hiding her face in her palms. Vikram laughed lightly and reached out to remove her hands from her face. He gently held her hand and caressed.
"Aab meine kya kiya. Bola toh tumhi ne hai" he teased her, earning a cute glare from her.
"Mujhe nahi sunni aapki baat. Baat mat karo aap" she huffed and tried to take back her hand when he tugged on it, not letting her pull away.
He slowed down the jeep and placed a kiss on her knuckles, pausing for a second to take the breath of her scent. Thabal rolled her eyes and looked away, though her cheeks warmed up.
Her resolve broke off, the earlier irritation melted into a puddle. Shreya and Meera looked at each other and released a sigh.
"Us when?" Meera whispered to her. Shreya shrugged and shook her head.
"Bhagwan jane" she muttered and looked up, as if questioning God.
As they pulled into the bustling market area, the girls excitement increased. Vikram parked the jeep in the parking area. He stepped out and walked around to open Thabal's door before she could even reach for the handle.
As she stepped down, still refusing to look him in the eye, he caught her hand.
"Still mad?" he murmured, leaning down so only she could hear.
"Nahi" she said slowly, though her grip on his hand tightened slightly.
"Achaa? Sachmein?" He whispered playfully, inching near her teasingly. Thabal blushed and pushed him back, but he didn't bulge a bit.
"Kya kar rahe ho aap!? Dur hato. Public place hai yeh. Log dekhenge toh kya sochenge" Thabal blushed furiously and tried to push him away again when Vikram caught both of her hands.
Meera and Shreya walked away giggling to each other, winking back at Thabal.
"Koi nahi hai idhar. It's just you and me. Log apne kam se kam rakhenge. Tum batao. Gussa ho?" He asked gently, inching closer towards her. Their noses were almost touching at this point.
Thabal took a deep breath at the closeness, she felt her body burning up with a sudden desire and shyness.
What the hell is wrong with her? Was she in her ovulation door or something? But it's just been a few weeks since her period ended. She wondered internally.
"Nahi hoon mein gussa. Hato aap" she said and tried to release her hands from his clutch but couldn't break free.
"Pyaar se bolo warna i don't believe" he whispered huskily near her ear, making her close her eyes at the manliness of his voice. She opened her eyes in a snap and grunted tiredly.
"Vikram, i swear i am not angry. Now jane do" she huffed looking up at him. Vikram smirked and left her hands but then again pulled her by her waist towards him and caged her against the jeep. Sandwiching her between him and the jeep.
"Aab kya kar rahe ho!?" Thabal glared at him and tried to wriggle but stopped when she felt something soft yet hard against her lower stomach. She immediately stopped and stood frozen, knowing well what it was. Ahh! Fuck it!
"Jyada hilo mat" he husked near her ear and placed a sensual kiss on it, making her shudder at the feeling.
"Aur pyaar se bolo" he said peppering kisses on her jaw. Thabal got lost in the moment, she tilted her jaw towards him, giving him more excess to kiss her. Vikram smiled slyly at it and licked just below her jaw, sucking the spot gently.
"Ummhh" she moaned softly at the ticklish feeling. Vikram placed a kiss at the spot and pulled back. He caressed her waist gently and played with her soft skin, pushing his hand under her shirt.
"Bolo 'babyy' " he smirked and teased. Thabal frowned at him.
"Mein kyu bolu" she scoffed, yet shyness coated her cheeks. Well because, pet names were kinda her thing. She has a soft spot for petnames.
"Bolo na. Pyaar se bolo" he whispered sensually and rubbed his hands higher up at her waist, almost touching her bra. Thabal felt her breath hitched at it.
"Please say it. I swear, jo kahoge woh karunga" he leaned down to her and rubbed her soft cheek against his stubbled one. Thabal hissed at the ticklish contact. She looked away from him, her heart tickling.
The way he requested her, did something inside her.
"Choro Vikram. Idhar yeh sab mat karo" she whispered to him, trying to push him away. But he didn't move an inch.
"Chor dunga. Bas bolo baby" Thabal huffed at his stubborn demand. She looked at him slowly and steadily herself internally. After a second of pause, she uttered hesitantly.
"B-baby" she whispered shyly. Vikram gulped hearing her. He took a deep breath in near her ear, kissing on her earlobe.
"Fhirse bolo. Bolo tum gussa nahi ho mujhse" he whispered huskily.
"But ek baar hi toh bolna tha" Thabal pouted in annoyance. Vikram smirked slightly, kissing on her cheek.
"Boldo na fhirse. Please" and how could she deny such a plea. She couldn't.
"Baby" this time she said it without stuttering. Vikram smiled and hummed.
"Bolo babu" Thabal immediately cowered back in shyness. Aghhh!! She internally screamed inside. She fucking felt turned on just by hearing him call her pet names.
She used to cringe away from such names earlier. But just how fast the table turns. She was feeling turned on by it.
"W-woh. I am not angry with you" she whispered shyly, eyes lowered down. Vikram looked at her intently and lowered his head towards her, placing a deep lingering kiss on her cheek.
"Maan toh kar raha hai itna kiss karu ki kha hi jawu tumhe" he grunted, pushing his nose against her cheek. Sniffing her soft, alluring scent. This fucking softness of her was driving him insane.
Thabal couldn't say anything. She was completely speechless. She felt extremely shy and embarrassed of herself. Why was her body reacting so sensitively to his touches?
"Go" he whispered and left her waist. Thabal paused for a second before running away from him, towards the mall. Vikram stood at his place for a minute or two. He sighed and raked a hand in his hair.
Controlling in front of her was impossible. Every second feels like loosing control which was hanging by a thin thread. All he wanted was to bang her so hard. She couldn't even imagine the dirty fantasies he have built for them. If she ever comes to know, he feared she would run away.
With a shake of head, Vikram cleared away all those thoughts and walked towards the mall entrance.
