Chapter 10: Close my eyes

"So what is it that you want to do while we are on the island?" Takumi asked turning the air conditioner on while his wife unpacked their suitcase.

"It is your birthday tomorrow so you decide. I am open to doing anything." She said in a nonchalant way.

"Open to anything you say?" his voice and the lift of his lips gave life to his question entirely.

She stopped what she was doing, a folded nightgown in her hand and looked at him wide eyed with heat creeping up her face.

"You idiot." She shook her head and went back to unpacking. "Why do you always say such stuff?"

"And lose the chance to see you blush like that. Come on Misa, you know me better than that."

"Yep, that I do. So what are we doing anyhow?"

"Let's go to the waterfalls, you loved them the last time we were here."

"And I still love them, are we going after dinner or tomorrow morning?"

"I would want you to rest for a while, let's keep the waterfalls for early morning tomorrow."

"As you wish. Which swim shorts would you wear, I'd keep them in the front then." She turned around holding two swim shorts in each of her hands, and came forward to where he was sitting on the small couch near a corner of the room.

"Which would you like to see me in?" he held both her wrists in both his hands and pulled her closer, that she had no other option but to straddle his lap and sit atop him, otherwise she would have fallen on him.

"I bought these for you, so you should know I have already imagined you in these." Though her face was hot, but over the years she had learnt how to match his playfulness.

"Have you now? Well do I look nice in them in your imagination?" his lips were on her neck whispering words in the exact manner he knew that made her knees weak.

"My imagination is biased, I'm sure I see things that are really not there."

"Well that problem needs immediate remedy then. How would you like a demonstration?" by now he had circuited her neck once and his lips were on hers, not quite touching yet, but Misaki was lost to everything on this earth but her husband by that moment.

"I would be glad to get any remedy that I might." She was leaning forward to kiss him but Takumi was not giving in easily.

"I would serve you to my fullest." He mock bowed her and she laughed though still dissatisfied over not getting a kiss yet.

"But first my lady we need to feed you, after that, you will just have to see in how many ways I can serve you."

She smirked to match his expression and got up from his lap. They both looked down to where she was sitting and saw the effect she had on him. They both looked up at the same time, their eyes meeting and her smirk widened.

"Promises, Promises."

Takumi chuckled at her retreating form.

The next morning Takumi had Misaki wrapped in his arms, her face buried in his chest and legs tangled. Her head was in its usual position atop his arm and his other arm wrapped around her waist.

His fingers were trailing up and down her spine, it had the desired effect and woke her after a few strokes, though he didn't stop.

She looked from his chest and smiled at him.

"Happy birthday husband."

"Thank you love."

"You never told me how do you want to celebrate it?"

"Well I guess we already did celebrate it at midnight. Was that not celebration?" his voice mock serious.

She hit his chest lightly, "Be serious" he only held her tighter in reply.

"We should get up if we want to see the sunrise." Takumi told her.

"Are you saying we are in time to see the sunrise?"

"Yes, that is what I said." Takumi wasn't sure where the question led to.

"So are you saying you woke me up after barely three hours of sleep?" her brows furrowed.

"Ummm… sorry?" his apology sounded like a question.

"I might as well get up now and see the sunrise. And then we have to go to the waterfalls."

"Yes that we do."

When they both returned after nearly five hours of swimming, walking and lying on the sand talking, they both took a shower and sat down in the kitchen to eat something.

"I have not felt this relaxed in months, we should come here more often, or go on vacations more often." Takumi said polishing off his plate.

"I agree."

"So what do you want o do for the rest of the day? It's barely noon."

"I would like to sleep for a while, all this swimming had made me sleepy. Then we can see a movie after or whatever you wish for."

"Yeah that sounds like a plan. I would like some sleep as well."

At four in the evening they had just turned off the TV finished watching a movie. They were still cuddling and jumping topics of conversations.

"Would you like some wine?"

"Nah. I am okay, you can have some if you want to."

"I just might, but I would have to get up from this warm place otherwise, so I will drink later."

"You'd have to get up anyways."

"Why is that?"

"Because I need to give you something." She got up from the bed. "I will be back in a moment."

She left the room and Takumi kept waiting for her to return, when after nearly twenty minutes she returned she had a cake in her hands, a lone candle atop it and a servant carrying a wrapped box behind her.

"Sorry it took longer than I thought."

"That's alright. Thanks for the cake, I didn't know I wanted to eat cake until I saw it." They both chuckled.

"Well then what are you waiting for?"

He cut the cake and they fed each other.

"You always knew what I wanted before I even knew it myself." Takumi told her in a soft voice.

Misaki simply shrugged, "You do as well."

"No. never with the birthday gifts, it would always be a headache planning what to get you. I never know."

She laughed.

"Remember I made you a head gear one year for your birthday, which birthday was that eighth or ninth?"

"Eighth."

"Yeah, why did I make you that?"

"Because I was fascinated with this Indian character I was reading in a book mom bought me, I wanted to be that tribal king and you helped me to be one." They both chuckled at the memory of his happiness over pretending to be the tribal king.

"Yeah and you made me your queen as a reward for that head gear."

"Yes, you were always supposed to be my queen, wish I knew it earlier. God, now that I think of it, I always loved you. Since I was a kid."

"Yep, me too."

He kisses her lightly on the lips once. "I love you."

"I love you more. And I have a gift for you."

"I thought you promised me no gifts this year."

She looked at him sternly, "Do you like giving me gifts?"

"I do."

"Then you'd know how I feel giving you gifts. And you'll like this, just like my every other gift."

"I am sure I will."

She hands him a box, which he unwrapped promptly and when he opened it he was wide eyed for a moment. It was a violin. An instrument he had vowed not to play in a fit of anger over life but missed dearly.

She was testing his expressions and breathed a sigh of relief when his face softened and he smiled.

"Thank you, it's lovely, you do know what to get me every time."

"You promised me you'll play again that night when we were talking about it." She smiled.

"And I will. I will I promise."

A/N: That was faster wasn't it? So, how did you like it? Tell me all. When do you think Takumi will play the violin again?
