Chapter 24 - Was I really, ready for this step? (1/2)

|Innaya|

”Innaya.”

”Sweetheart?”

”Tesoro?”

'Go on. Call all the endearments in this world but that won't help you.' I refused to acknowledge him. I kept my eyes closed and head bowed, not willing to cooperate with whatever game he was playing.

”Don't be grumpy cupcake.”

'God! Can anyone make him understand to not to use such sweet endearments with that ridiculously tantalising voice?' My subconscious glared at that thought. Merely seconds ago I firmly decided to not pay attention to his sweet tongue and now, my heart was flipping on his side. Great!

”Eshan, get to the point, please,” I resignedly asked, tired of his growing questions. Actually, it was not his questions that were tiring but my own battle of these new growing feelings. I wasn't like this... ever. I never felt this way.

I found my palms being covered and that somehow calmed my heart little. I held back a sigh that was about to leave my lips.

”You are my wife.” Eshan pressed my palms gently in his.

'Seriously? As if I don't know.'

”Yes, I am and you are my one and only husband and we have been married for last one month. Anything else?” Uncertainly I looked at him after I opened my eyes, waiting for him to finish whatever he had started. I knew he could witness frustration, irritation on my face as I was clueless about this whole ordeal. However, I didn't bother hiding it.

”Thanks for the reminder.” Eshan gazed at me with an unknown emotion in his eyes— emotion, I was unable to decipher. He stood up from his kneeling position, making me stand along before he leaned forward with his one hand going back on my nape and other around my waist, pulling me closer.
