My Reward; His Punishment

THE NECKLACE

"Jane..." His hand holds me back making my skin shiver so terribly. My heart starts racing and the butterflies inside my stomach grow all of a sudden.

His touch on my skin is more than anything I want right now. His first touch, that literally makes me freeze and forget the entire world. Miraculous is the word for his touch.

How can't he see, how much I love him? And how much I want him to stay with me forever. I don't want him to talk to me or sleep next to me or dine with me or share anything with me ever, but I just want him and him. I just want to see him daily, sipping his coffee or working with his machines in his lab or playing with Hannah. That makes me more than happy, I can spend my whole life with what I have but no way, I want to leave him.

"What's wrong with you? What are you thinking? I am talking..." He begins mildly with his cute, blue eyes filled with innocence.

"No, if you want it, I want it too without any doubt." I interrupt, without meeting his eyes.

I know I broke my own promise that I'll not over react but I didn't expect him to react this way either.

"Jane! Why on earth would I want it?" He scowls at me, leaving my hand. His eyes growing in annoyance and his lips are frowned. What's wrong with him?

"For God sake, why would I wear... a... a...fucking necklace dammit?" He ends, explaining with his hands in the air.

Wait, what?

"Necklace?" I ask shockingly to reassure his words.

"Yess yess yess!" He says holding his head in disgust. "What papers are you talking about? I am not getting what you're trying to say!" His asks curiously and there I get a heart block.

"A neckl.." I begin, confused.

"Yeah! I bought that for you and why would I bring it for me on this f*****g earth?" He asks, c*****g his head to one side.

"Eww...I'll suck with the look." He whispers and facepalms himself to calm down, as if imagining himself with the necklace.

"You bought it for me?" I ensure if my ears are all okay with the hearing.

"Of course!" He walks to my side. "I wanted to give it you since morning but I couldn't dare. So, I decided to keep it next to your pillow before you go to sleep with a note." He ends with a deep breath.

"Wait, you were talking about that necklace all this time?" I ask, like a cat on the hot bricks. The water in the corner of my eyes has been soaked up, making them tight and sticky.

"Jane!" He groans. "What papers did you think of?" He asks suspiciously but maintaining his soft tone, noticing my glossy eyes. "Are you..you o..."

"Nothing. I just, didn't think of it." I fade away my eyes quickly and he rolls his eyes in relief, giggling.

"I am sorry, I understand, women become so anxious once they come to know about their surprise and then they want it anyhow, going mad because they can't wait." He winks at me and I chuckle, picking up a tissue paper from the table, quickly grabbing the opportunity to wipe off my eyes, before he could doubt.

"Wait!" He gestures me and runs out of the room.

Still moved and frozen by his intense act, I stand here flabbergasted, grinning like a Cheshire cat that he brought me a gift! And so stupidly all the time, I thought he's gonna leave me.

The whole year he never brought me one fake rose. He is making my heart melt like an ice cream on a summer beach because I am completely taken aback by him. Can he cuter than this?
