The Universe Conspired For Us To Meet Chapter 13

--Night--

"You are awake?" Ronnie asked her .

On hearing him, Jayne fluttered open her sleepy eyes and said in a hoarse voice "Hmmm . . "

"Here, have some food . I'm sure you must be hungry? Aren't you?"

The smell of the hot steaming shakpa (stew)consisting meat balls  reminded Jayne of how hungry she felt . She took the bowl and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"How can I eat? You never let me go off at all . You were sleeping in my embrace all day . You didn't let me move an inch" he said that in a slightly teasing tone .

Hearing his words Jayne's face fell . "I'm so sorry . I never realised that I slept for so long . Why did you let me sleep like that all day? Couldn't you wake me up earlier?" she pouted .

Hearing her words he slightly laughed . She looked extra cute while she pouted . He lovingly caressed her back .

"Will you keep complaining or will you even eat now? I'm way too hungry . If you don't want to eat at least let me eat . " He wanted to pull her leg .

'Huh? Was I the one complaining or is it him' she thought inwardly . But her hunger took over her thoughts and they immediately dug in to the bowl of stew .

The bowl contained enough stew for both of them . The stew was their typical sherpa dinner they would eat almost everyday . But today's was extra delicious due to the wedding celebrations .

After eating her fill, Jayne let out a slight burp politely and so did Ronnie . Later, he gave her another small bowl of medicinal concoction . She was used to drinking this bitter medicine for quite sometime now .

Ronnie felt very tired . He didn't want to wake up the sleeping beauty in his arms . So he let her sleep alert all the while . He said to Jayne, "Now that I've let you sleep all day, it's your turn now to let me sleep on you . " Without waiting for her reply he rested his head on her lap and shut his eyes .

'My heart! Please don't betray me like this! Oh no! If you keep pacing at this rate I'm sure he'll be able to hear you . Please calm down . ' Jayne thought inwardly but blurted out, "Eh-What are you doing? Can't you just lie down on the cot there? Why on me?"

"Jayne, you are my cot . Your lap is the most comfortable mattress ever . And I'll get the best sleep here . Moreover, I let you sleep in my arms all day . Do you know my entire body is aching because of that? And when I let you sleep on me,  can't you do this small favour for your husband my wifey?" he made a puppy face while he answered her .

She blushed heavily on hearing him call her wifey . She then opened her mouth to reply but immediately stopped .

"Okay," she replied .

Later  he didn't even realise when he drifted off to deep slumber .

Jayne looked at the handsome man in her lap . She couldn't stop admiring him . Unknowingly she started running her hair through his thick, dark brown locks and told to herself . 'How on earth did I meet this wonder boy? The guy who saved my life and now my husband . I must've done something fortunate in my previous lives to get him . ' She felt slightly emotional and tears welled up in her eyes .

Due to the effect of the medicinal concoction, she too slept next to him soon after that .
