OHM

I instantly knew there was something different as I shift my body to the side. My hand immediately felt the space beside me. I got up at once and tried to open my eyes to see where my baby was. My eyes passed to the bedside clock and saw that it was only three-thirty in the morning. Where could he be?

I went straight to the bathroom, but he was not there either. I washed my face to make myself awake and brushed my teeth.

It didn't take long to find him though. I knew he would be in his office typing endlessly. He was so focused on what he was doing and did not even notice me entering the room.

"Baby," I said and kneeled next to his chair.

"Oh." He stopped and turned to me. He reached for my face and caressed my cheek with his hand. "Why did you wake up so early?"

I leaned my face even more on his palm, for I missed his touch. "You weren't there with me. . ." I said and sighed. "Why are you working at this hour?"

"Sorry. I just need to write this up. They are coming in a flash. Go back to sleep. Hmm? I'll be there soon." He said and leaned down to give me a peck on the lips.

"Come back, okay?"

He just nodded, and I went back to our room.

Yes, OUR room. It was just surreal that I was here a few days ago just to explain to him about the issue of me dating a young actress, now, I had been staying with my baby since then. These days were the best so far.

I thought it would be a bit awkward for him to have someone living with him in the same house, much more staying in the same room, but it was not. We found it comfortable to be around each other the whole day.

It had only been four days, but it felt like months. I got used to this kind of setup easily.

I walked to our bed and sat on it, my back leaning on the headboard. I didn't want to go back to sleep without him in my arms. Living with him for just a few days made me realize I was so into deep. He seemed like a drug that I became addicted to.

Not too long, the door opened and my baby walked toward me. He sat on my lap and hugged me tightly. My arms automatically went around his waist and pulled him closer.

"What time did you wake up?" I asked as I caressed his back.

"I don't know. . . around two?" He sighed. "Don't wake up next time. I am usually like this. Whenever something pops up in my mind, I need to write it right away or else I will forget."

"It's okay. . . I just can't sleep without you in my arms now."

He pulled himself away from me a little to look at me. "Baby. . . you might have a hard time when you go back to your place, after your break from work."

I nodded. I brushed the back of my hand on his cheek. "So. . . I am thinking of staying here with you." He gave me a questioning look, so I continued. "I mean I'll stay with you even after my work break," I smiled brightly.

"Uh. . ."

I knew his mind was working nonstop again, processing what I said. "But if you don't want us to live together like that, let's just make it official. Why don't we just get married now? So we can stay together every single day."

"Baby. . ." He just smiled. "Not now. I'm still sleepy. And I have meetings later, so I will be busy today. Maybe tomorrow is okay." He chuckled. He might've thought I was joking.

He yawned and laid his head on my shoulder. I kissed his forehead and patted his arm. Not even a minute, I could feel his even breath. I laid both of us on the bed to make him more comfortable. I wrapped him in my arms as I joined him in dreamland.

I just finished my last meeting, so I went out of my office to look for Ohm. He said he would just make a few calls to Prem and some people. Maybe he would get some updates about the case they filed.

That night when Prem told him that he had no work for a week, he turned off his phone, so we didn't have any idea about what was happening until after lunch the next day. He opened his phone just to let his parents know about his whereabouts. After that, he turned it off again. He also told me not to look at any news articles on TV or on the internet. He was afraid that I would cry again if I read something I didn't like.

I found him in the living room, still on the phone. He saw me, but I didn't want to disturb him, so I signaled that I would just make something in the kitchen which he nodded in acknowledgment.

Two arms suddenly wrapped around my waist startled me a little as I was making some sandwiches. Then a pair of lips dipped on my nape and kissed it gently. His lips slowly moved up and traced the length of my neck. I moaned softly as he nibble on it a little and licked with his tongue. As if that was not enough, he turned me around and continued feasting on it. I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned my head a little to give him more access. He gladly took the action as he gave me more kisses.

"Baby. . ." I said and pushed him a little. The sound of the microwave lured me back to my senses. I was lost in the sensation Ohm was giving me through his kisses. I almost forgot that I was making us something to eat.

He held my nape gently and was about to attack my lips when I stopped him.

"Baby. . ." He whined like a child. "I want more kisses." He said and pouted. I smiled and gave him a peck. "No! I want a real kiss, Baby."

I chuckled and said. "I'm making us food. We have to eat first. I'm hungry."

"But I'm hungry for something else." He stated with wiggling eyebrows.

"I'll give you some kisses later after we had real food, okay?"

He sighed and just nodded. "Okay. . . I want a lot, hmmm?" Then he smiled.

"My boyfriend is a kissing monster!"

"But you love it? Right?'

"Well. . . I love my kissing monster boyfriend and. . ." Then I whispered in his ear. ". . .his kisses."

"Aww. . . Baby." He hugged me tightly. "Can we just skip eating? Please?"

"No," I said firmly. "Can you help me prepare this, so we can finish eating fast?"

"Yes. Baby." He said enthusiastically as he went to get some plates and cutleries in the cupboard. "I can finish eating in five minutes, Baby." He said and winked.

I just shook my head and continued preparing our food.
