Neiladri Sinha Jr. :-

It was 4 pm when I woke up. My Sleeping Beauty was looking so cute, that I didn't want to wake him up. Besides, I had some preparations to make, and Peaches was sleeping for good.
I gently lifted him off my chest and laid him on a deewan. The Mantra of my life has been one- live your young life at the fullest, and I was going to prepare for that.

I took my wallet and car keys to go shopping for tonight, but then stopped on my track. The shadow that appeared in the hospital ward. I couldn't leave Peaches alone under any circumstances. But I needed candles and flowers to decorate my bedroom. So I decided to call up the nearest florist, but chose against it. The culprit was smart enough to tamper a sealed bottle of liquor and remain underground. Would tampering flowers be a difficult task for such person? I don't think so.
So I decided to pick flowers from the terrace garden, and went into the storeroom to look for the remainder of decorative candles from last year's Diwali.

First I decorated the bedroom and changed the sheets. Unlike boys of my age, I never created a mess of my house. So everything was arranged properly.
Then I moved to the kitchen to prepare dinner. But time was less; so I made baby corn so I kept fresh grape juice as drink.

Now I brushed my teeth, flossed, clean shaved my week-long stubble, shaved my pubes, got into a hot tub and cleansed myself. Oh wait, I forgot to offer my evening prayers; so I dried off, put on my prayer clothes, prayed and dressed up for the evening. Peaches had told me that Indian attire screams of my raw sex appeal; so I dressed in a violet Kurta, let its buttons remain open, curled its sleeves up to my elbows, put on a black slack, an off-white scarf, the wrist watch Ma gifted and sprayed a Saudi perfume Baba brought for me.

I got down the stares and saw Peaches sleeping peacefully. Seeing his Angelic face, I didn't want to disturb him; but we had an evening to spend.
I planted a kiss on his forehead and caressed his face.

"Wake up my Sleeping Beauty!" I said.

Peaches moaned and turned to a comfortable position.

I raised my brow and whispered in his ears "Good morning lover boy!"

It affected him. Peaches sprang to his feet and looked around, dumbfounded. I scoffed at the look on his face. As he realised that it was 6 in the evening, he took a sigh of relief and giggled a little.

"Baby you freaked me out!" he said as he nodded. Then looking at me, he asked "Are we going out?"

I said "Unfortunately no. I don't want you to upset your stomach right after the incident. So I cooked dinner for you."

Peaches sniffed a couple of times and said "My mouth is already watering."

I walked up to him and said "Technically we haven't dated throughout our courtship. So officially, this is our first date."

Then I got down to a knee, raised my hand and said "Tanuj Samuel Rao, will you be my date?"

Peaches frowned and then smirked naughtily.

"I don't date bad boys. Besides, my boyfriend has planned a romantic date for me."

I rose to my feet, raised a brow, smirked and asked "Is he?"

Peaches looked up into my eyes and said "Yes, he has."

We burst into laughter. I was seeing Peaches laughing heartily after a long time. I held his face and said "Now that's the face I want to see more often."

Peaches smiled, those blue eyes sparkling with love.

"Let me get ready, dear husband." he said.

"Sure, 'spouse'." I said, stressing upon 'spouse'.

Peaches giggled as he took the stairs.

I was excited about our first dinner-date. I placed a two-seater dining table and chairs in the balcony and played a record of Victorian Opera in Thakuda's gramophone. Food with music creates the ambiance.

Tanuj Rao :-

How can I be so reckless? First I forgot our birthday, then I fell asleep when I could have got ready in that time. As I tried to enter the Master Bedroom, I realised it was locked. Maybe Sweetpea's secret gift was behind that door.

For namesake, I had moved into Neilesh's room. But I know after tonight, Sweetpea and I would become one forever. I had to look my best. I had a thick bush of pubes, and I didn't want to be a hairy mess before him. So I shaved my pubes for the first time. I took a shower, did some make-up and dressed in a formal pair of trousers, a full sleeved button up shirt and a vest.
Just then I remembered I left the towel in bathroom and went in to get it. It fell from my hand on the shower floor, I leaned to pick it up and realised it's stuck. A needle. But why was it between the floor tiles? I kept it in the basin and went out.

As I descended the stairs, I heard soft opera music playing. So my suave boyfriend had a taste of old school! Classy.
Sweetpea had his jaw dropped as he looked at me.

He walked up to me "You look gorgeous tonight."

I frowned and said "Oh really? I don't look gorgeous otherwise?"

Sweetpea raised a brow and said "No, you don't."

I was dumbstruck.

Sweetpea grinned and said "On a regular day, you are my cute little Peaches. But tonight, you are my gorgeous spouse."

I blushed at his complement and looked away bashfully.

Sweetpea cupped my face and said "In this moon like face of my beloved, I see heaven. But when rained by tears of sorrow, my entire world deluges.
I see in these sparkling blue diamonds, that rival a queen's crown jewel, my own reflection and I know who am I. But when these blue lakes flood with tears, my entire existence deluges.
These rosy lips utter my name, it's music to my ears. But when the sob out of sorrow, they confirm my worst fears.
These creamy cheeks of peach hue rival sunshine my dear. But sight of tears rolling down them I am unable to bear."

Then getting on his knee, Sweetpea held a ring to me.

"Come my love, let's spend our lives together, I promise to love and honour you and stand by you forever."

Did Sweetpea propose me? Jesus Christ! I don't know how to handle it. I felt as if all world's happiness has been conferred upon me. A month ago, I would have to choose my words wisely while speaking, careful not to offend him. And tonight, Sweetpea was declaring to me how he wanted to hear me all his life.

"Marry me, Peaches!"

I tried a lot, but couldn't hold back my tears.

Sweetpea's smile faded. He rose to his feet and said "Baby I am sorry if I am going too fast."

I looked down and said "Baby stop apologising. You are the best thing that ever happened to me."

Sweetpea raised my chin and said "Then marry me Peaches."

I said "I will." and embraced him.

Sweetpea locked me in his warm embrace, as he stroked my wavy hair. We pulled away, and smiled at each other. He put the ring on my ring finger.

He walked to the gramophone and changed the record to Elvis Presley's. I was more accustomed to peppy tracks that I could groove to; but for a change my noble boyfriend's choice seemed soothing.

He held his left hand to me and said "Dance with me."

I held his hand and he pulled me into a slow, romantic dance, as the song 'Love me tender' played in the background. Sweetpea placed his right hand on my waist as we interlocked the fingers of our left and right hands, with my left hand on his right shoulder. Apparently it was his all-time favorite; Sweetpea began to sing as the record played on. I had a talented boyfriend, who could act, direct and sing as well. He was an achiever; an ace sportsperson and a genius. Who won't want a boyfriend like him?
The track ended and changed to 'Falling in love with you', when he leaned and kissed my neck. The sensation sent currents up my spine. I closed my eyes and moaned in pleasure, as he took it to another level and bit the spot he had kissed. It caught me off-guard as my eyes shot open and I groaned "Jesus Christ!"

Sweetpea chuckled and then licked the spot. I moaned again and felt my knees wobble beneath me. He let go of my right hand and wrapped his strong arms around my waist, balancing me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his chest. Sweetpea leaned and rested his head on mine.

"I saw you do that to Aisha." I said, but regretted. Sweetpea however didn't take any offence and hugged me tighter.

"I am glad I did that. Otherwise, we wouldn't have united."

I looked at him with an amused smile.

He grinned gently and said "We Hindus believe that whatever happens is for greater good. Everything is God's will after all."

I smiled coyly and said "I am glad I was drunk that night."

Sweetpea raised a brow.

"We Christians have a saying 'One man's meat, another man's poison.'"

Sweetpea knew what I meant, and grinned gently. He hugged me once again as we continued to dance, but his muscles stiffened as rage entered him.

He said "Don't worry baby, Ma put the case to fast track."

I said "Hmm. But I am thankful to that murderer. Because of him, we are together and I am alive. Had I been in my senses and jumped off, ateşli gaziantep escort you would have been mourning my death today."

Sweetpea pushed me away.

"In the name of The Mother Goddess, can't you shut up for a moment?" he yelled.

Shit! I spoiled the mood.

I apologised "Baby I am so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you."

He held my face and glared into my eyes. I could see the raging volcano in his otherwise mirthful eyes. The same rage, that I had seen a month ago when we fought for the first, and I hope for the last time. And then they welled up with tears.

"Don't you ever think of leaving me. Or else I'll burn down the whole world and perish along it." he spoke with his teeth gritted.

"Whoever tries to take you away from me, I will dismember each limb of his body and drink his blood." he said as he hugged me.

And then he closed his eyes and began to chant the Goddess's name under his breath to calm himself. I felt his tears fall on my shoulder as he apologised.

"I am sorry baby, I couldn't keep my promise. I hurt you again."

He paused for a while and said "Peaches I love you so much, I can't bear anyone talking about your death and me mourning it. I pray that before that I die before I have to face such day."

Now it was my turn to get irritated. I smacked his chest and said in a stern tone "So that I am left alone to bereave you? Neiladri Sinha, you are a selfish person."

Sweetpea stood with his head hung in shame.

I looked into his eyes, held his hands and said "Our hearts beat together. We'll be together till our last breath."

He looked away. To lighten up the situation, I used his own line on him "You're not getting rid of me that easily, my lover boy!"

Then making a childish expression, I said "I am hungry!"

Sweetpea's lips curled up into a kind smile. He said "Let's eat."

I giggled as he chuckled softly. He changed to record to a Roman Opera as we walked to the balcony. He pulled the chair for me and then went to the kitchen. It was a modest arrangement that I preferred.
Sweetpea placed a couple of wine glasses and poured grape juice in them. I took my glass, looked at the purple liquid in it and then at Sweetpea.

He said "Alcohol is unhealthy."

I grinned at him. Sweetpea rose a toast "Cheers to my true love!"

I smiled and rose my toast "Cheers to my first love!"

His smile faded for a moment and then came back.

We took a couple of shots more and then began to chat. Sweetpea raised a brow and asked "So, how do you know Aisha?"

I laughed. He asked "What?"

I said "Aisha is in my class."

Sweetpea whistled. He asked "So did she try to seduce you?"

I blushed.

"Fortunately no, she didn't."

Sweetpea said "Good for her!"

I laughed and asked "Well, how did she take her breakup?"

Sweetpea frowned "How would I know?"

I said "I haven't been to school for a week. I would have really enjoyed to see her reaction after you broke up with her."

Sweetpea was dumbstruck. He said "Excuse me? Did I hear you right?"

And now it was my turn to be shocked.

"So you didn't date Aisha?"

"No I didn't."

"But..."

"I came to know that she's spreading rumors about dating me." he said with a wicked smirk.

But then his face hardened.

"Peaches, you don't trust me right?"

Shit! I spoiled his mood again. I turned away to hide my tears. But the a camera flashed. I looked towards its source; Sweetpea snapped a pic of me in that gloomy expression. He was grinning.

"Hey! Don't do that!" I said as I tried to grab his phone.

"Baby delete it please!"

"Okay, okay! Wait a sec." said Sweetpea as he deleted the pic.

I stared at him and said "Baby you scared me! I thought I hurt you again."

Sweetpea chuckled and joined his hands in mock apology.

I asked "But you did with her what you did with me today!"

He said "Hmm. I did that to teach her a lesson. First I pretended to be interested in fucking her; then I convinced her to make arrangements. At the last moment, I turned her horny by biting her neck. She whispered the room no. in my ear, I whispered to her 'Sorry bitch, but you're not my type. Thanks for spending money though slut.'".

That was shocking.

"Baby you should have seen the expression on her face. It was the first time a guy dumped her after she was wet down there."

I burst into laughter. Sweetpea scoffed and mimicked Aisha's tantrums.

Sweetpea then got up and went to the kitchen. He heated the food in microwave and returned with a trolley.

"So keeping your health and the grocery in mind, I made baby corn
