Chapter 4
Closing the door behind them they sunk into the warmth that enveloped them as they entered the apartment. Each secretly thinking of what it would be like to be curled up in each others arms. Each also remembering their old roomie days, when they would sit huddled together for hours on the sofa, watching horror movies or celebrity world poker tour, and eating themselves silly with another takeaway. Neela kicked her shoes off and dropped her bag next to the door. As she was about to take off her coat Ray stepped up behind her, took hold of her hands to pause her actions and lifted his own hands to the hem of her coat. Like a perfect gentleman he lowered the coat down her arms, slipping it off her shoulders and hung it loosely on the stand. Neela turned to face him, slightly confused by his highly romantic gesture. Seeing the look on her face he made his way across the room back to her and gently kissed her head.
"You look hungry. Haven't ate anything for a while huh?" She grinned at him.
"Yeah. Yeah I guess I am, kinda." He returned her grin taking her hand and leading her to the kitchen.
"Ok then roomie. What do you want to eat?" Her brow furrowed as she decided what to eat. Ray smirked at this action he was so used to and had missed so much these past months. "Come on roomie. Completely up to you."
"Ok erm. . . How bout we get a takeaway, order a movie and settle down on the sofa like old times?"
"That sounds good to me."
"Perfect."
"Yeah perfect."
Ray could hardly take his eyes off her. She hadn't changed a bit yet somehow she seemed different. Watching her every move he noticed a lock of hair had fallen from its place. Leaning forward to tuck it behind her ear, he could smell her hair. Never taking his eyes off hers he leaned in and lightly kissed her lips. Although only for a second he could feel her breath pick up a pace, he could taste her, well her. Whilst Ray hurried to the phone to order their food Neela leaned against the counter, hardly able to believe that in such a short period of time things could change so drastically for the better. The grin on her face was perfect, and had Ray have seen it would have had no choice but to take her to the bedroom that second. She let out a small giggle at the thought. Her thoughts suddenly broken by the voice calling to her.
"Hey Neela what kind of take out do you want?" She raised an eyebrow still not quite back to reality, still not quite listening.
"Huh?"
"Neela?" After no reply Ray angrily strode into the room. About five menus in his hand and the cordless phone in the other. "Neela?"
"Huh? What? Ray?" He chuckled at her ditzy response to his question.
"Earth to Neela." He yelled waving a hand in front of her face. She swatted it out of the way before rubbing her eyes, trying to erase the images inside her head before she lost all self control. "God Neela where were you?" She grinned back at him.
"You know what? I don't think I know myself. Daydreaming I guess."
"Of course."
"I'm serious."
"Of course you are Neela. So yeah as I was saying when you were in coo coo land, what takeout do you want? Chinese, pizza, Indian? Whatever other menus you have?" She snickered at him grabbing the menus and flicking through.
"I'm really not bothered Ray. You pick."
"You sure you don't mind?"
"Course not. Go on." Handing him the menus back she turned to pull a few beers out of the fridge. "Call it welcome home roomie day. Hence your decision."
About an hour later the newly reformed roomies were huddled on the sofa, pizza box discarded on the floor and a few beer cans littering the room. Ray was sitting back, his head slightly on the side, Neela at his side, her feet curled beneath her and her head on Ray's lap. Hiding behind her hands as the killer re-emerged Ray reassuringly placed a hand around her waist drawing her closer. They stayed like this for a matter of minutes, snuggled up, comforting one another when the scariest parts occurred. When the final credits finally rolled Neela stretched and sat up. Shuffling close to Ray she wasn't sure if what she was about to do was really her heart speaking out or her brain doing something stupid. Grasping his hand in hers she she gently kissed it before moving her attention to his lips.
"I love you." She managed to splutter before locking her lips with his. Their mouthes in one furious battle with one another. Her heart sank as she felt him pull away, and was aware that she had made a huge mistake. She looked up to him with sorrowfull dark eyes. Her sorrow rapidly disappearing shortly after his following words.
"I love you too."
The pair remained stationary for a short amount of time, each watching the other intently at the fact that they had both at long last actually admitted their feeling to each other. Theirs eyes remained locked and their hands clasped together before their lips re-connected with a spur of electricity and hunger. The long awaited words that had finally given them a chance to be a couple. Many minutes later after their make out session begun they pulled apart, heavy breath and smiling faces. As Neela's eyes began to droop Ray pulled her towards him and the two cuddled up on the sofa for a well needed good night sleep.
