Shikha

What did I do?

I had no idea.

I heard several gasps and then some "awwws".

I just didn't get what the problem was.

I was in the same bed as Shyam, like they had wanted.

I snuggled closer into my pillow, and then it...moved

Pillows don't move! Then what was this warm, amazing thing I was sleeping on?

The "pillow" suddenly lets out a groan and then a "What?!"

I rubbed my eyes and opened them to see myself laying on...

A chest.

Shyam's chest, to be more precise.

Like I said, I'd never actually slept with someone other than Irita.

I had no idea that I was a cuddler.

Well, this was embarrassing.

The aunties all giggled like schoolchildren and gave us knowing glances.

"It's ok, you two are married, it's ok to be like that" An aunty said suggestively.

"Oh Aunty, no, it's not like that..." My sentence trailed off as Shyam gave me a glare

"Uh- I mean, yes...sorry I didn't mean to-"

"You are husband and wife, it is fine. Don't apologize for that" The aunty said, winking.

I blushed bright red. Dammit, why couldn't I stop my stupid face from changing into colors it was not supposed to?

Shyam smirked knowingly upon seeing my tomato red face.

I sighed. Why did it have to be him I was married to? Cocky, cold, rude Shyam?

Shyam

God, it was so funny seeing Shikha blush at even the smallest things.

But when I found her on my chest, it felt...familiar.

It felt...right. I knew that I shouldn't be feeling these things, but it was nice, letting down your guard sometimes.

But, as a rich person, I had to always keep my guard up.

Why couldn't I just be normal?

Shikha

After the aunties (and Shyam, in tow) left, I looked back on the message from Ava that had made me freeze up last night.

I hoped Shyam didn't notice.

Ava THE QUEEN 👑

Ava: Found out who they are. They're loan sharks. They offer you "better" loans than the bank and then slowly suck the money out of you. They'll go to any extent to get their money (with added interest). Even killing someone.

Ava: Here's a file with more info on them: [1 attachment]

Me: Hey Ava, sorry for not responding sooner. Me and Shyam had our first night too there and you know how THAT is.

Ava: Ooh 😏

Me: Shut up, you didn't even make it to our wedding 😒.

Ava: SORRYYYYYY

Ava: I was busy being a lawyer, you know? 😔

Me: Fine, your forgiven. I'll check out the file when I have time, 'kay?

Ava: Yeah you do that

Me: Thanks a bunch! ILYSMMM 🥰🥰

Ava: I know you do.

I exit out of our messages and go downstairs.

Shyam seems to be entertaining both Amrutha Aunty and Amma.

"Did you both really have a nice time last night?" Amma says, with a suggestive look my way.

"Uhhh....yeah." I say, nervous.

"Of course we did, didn't we baby" Shyam smoothly says, smirking

"Yeah...sweetheart" I say, playing along

"Aww, aren't you two the cutest thing ever" Amrutha Aunty says

"We sure are. But now we have some...things to discuss" I say and pull Shyam away to make our exit.

"What was that" I ask Shyam frantically.

"What was what?" Asks Shyam innocently

"Don't act like you don't know. Explain right now!" I say, adamant

"We needed to convince them we actually like each other and get along, so I did that, honey bun" Shyam says, smirking at my again red face.

"Ok, cutie pie" I say, sweetly

Thank god I have a million comebacks stored in my head due to a Irita and her "pet name calling" former boyfriend.

I had to text that guy random pet names everyday, such as these. I had an unlimited storage of them.

But, how was I going to survive the rest of my life living with Shyam? He was annoying and constantly looked for ways to annoy me.

Just as all these thoughts were running through my head, Appa walked in.

"Shikha, we need to talk"
