Out of love/ want?

.

Tarika snuggled closer to the person lying beside her. Keeping her head on his bare chest she swayed her fingers on his chest gently. The person stirred in his sleep, shwoing his disappointment on the disturbance.

"Abhijeet," she called him softly not knowing if he had been sleeping or not.

"Hmm," he responded taking her into his embrace, rubbing her right arm with her palm.

Tarika looked up at his face. His eyes were closed.

"What is it Tarika?" He asked when she didn't talk further on her on.

Tarika swiftly changed her position and placed her head on his pillow, facing him. He still denied to look back at her. So, Tarika placed one hand on his cheek and made him look at her.

Abhijeet opened his eyes as he realized she wanted to convet her messge through her eyes.

"What?" He smiled.

"Just want to know-"

"Know what?" Abhijeet asked as he mimicked Tarika's position. They were now facing ecah other, sleeping on the same pillow.

"Was it out of love or out of your want?"

Abhijeet laughed.

"Do you think I lust you?" Abhijeet asked, playfully.

"Yes, I do."

"So, do you think its shameful?" Abhijeet asked, mocking at her.

"No. Why would I think that? Even I want you to lust about me." Tarika gave a teasing smile.

"Do you?" Abhijeet laughed again.

"Is that shameful?" This time Tarika mocked him.

"Oh no please." He stopped laughing and then making a serious face he moved closer to her. He touched her one cheek. "I think you are very sexy."

"Okaaay..." Tarika sang, "but what about the question I asked earlier?" She reminded him.

"Which question?"

"Was it out of love or out of want?" Tarika's voice turned deep.

Abhijeet didn't answer instantly. He pecked her lips.

"You are trying to avoid my question." Tarika's voice was feeble this time.

"That was my want for you. You know that. Why are you even asking it?" Abhijeet answered in his husky voice. "Did you want it to be out of love? I dont know how to make that happen." Abhijeet shared his concerns.

"No. I just wanted a genuine answer. And I am glad that you were honest with your feelings." Tarika tried to supress her disappointment.

Abhijeet held her chin gently and made her look into his eyes again as she tried to look away.

"My love for you is unreplacable Tarika." He declared.

Tarika found herself lost in his deep brown eyes.

"It was there before I wanted you," he continued, "It was there when I wanted you. And," he moved close to her lips, almost touching them with his', "it is still here when I have you."

Tarika close her eyes in satisfaction and moved forward. Their lips met and this time, Tarika could feel the love.
