Enchanted Love

Sunrises show the exciting ending of the previous day. Clara got up with a yawn and looked at her husband sleeping with his parents. They looked so cute. She got up quickly as she started cleaning everything all alone. She wants to surprise them with a clean home when they wake up.

It took one whole hour to set everything up and to prepare coffee for everyone.

“Good morning” Clara wished them as she served the coffee to all. Jenny is just impressed with her gesture. It’s not easy to clean the home early in the morning all alone. Jenny kissed her forehead and wished her good morning.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“That’s cheating. It was my kiss.” Alex jumped all annoyed, grabbing Jenny, making everyone laugh at his antics.

“Oops. But now it’s mine” Clara replied and poked her tongue at him.

“Don’t bother me. I have given morning kisses already. So you can get it from her.” Jenny told him and chuckled at Clara’s expressions.

“Wow, mom. Guess today I have to snatch your kiss at any cost” Alex slowly forwarded towards Clara making her stumble back. What a family is this? Is she stuck on another planet? She looked at Frank who is not at all affected by their conversation as he is busy with his phone calls. On the other side, Jenny sat there all excited to see how her son snatches the kiss.

“Alex. Please.” Alex reached her in no time.

“You should have thought about the consequences before snatching my morning kiss,” Alex mumbled in her ears and enjoyed her uneasiness.

“Please.” She mumbled lowering her head to hide her face which was flushed red in embarrassment. How can he talk about such things in front of his parents?

“Are you both teasing my daughter?” Frank asked as he pulled Alex away from Clara who looked very relieved to get saved.

“Dear, don’t think twice to kick him or slap him whenever he bothers you. If you say, I will do it for you” Frank rolled his sleeves up as Alex annoyingly went near his mom.

“Frank, leave those. Let’s leave. I have to look after many things. I still have to meet the event manager to settle the remaining amount.” Jenny took her purse when Alex’s face lost its colours all of a sudden.

“Well, finally my wife and I are all alone in our home. That’s exciting” Frank clapped with a wink that made Alex more annoyed.

“If you need anything, feel free to ask me. I will be here in the next ten minutes” Jenny caressed Clara’s head as she climbed up in her heels.

“If you need anything, don’t you dare to disturb me.” Frank always loved to annoy his son.

“Frank, can you be his dad for at least today?” Jenny glared at her husband who is went in a silent mode not wanting to provoke his angry wife

“Why is it necessary?” Alex asked again to his dad in a low voice. It’s not that he has never been away from his family. But it feels weird to live in another house with his wife. He wanted to live with them. Why do they have to do this?

“Trust me. You need this time to understand your wife and that will help you both grow closer.” Frank replied and hugged his son to show that it was indeed a cute decision for them.

“I will arrange my things in the next room.” Alex took his laptop and some more items to move them.

“What does it mean?” Clara asked, crossing her arms. He failed to notice her changed expressions.

“I would be working at home too. So the room would be the perfect place for me” Alex explained.

“Is it information or you are asking me?” Clara inquired, a little annoyed with the way he notified her. Their home is cute with two rooms. One is for their bedroom and another one is designed as per their taste by Frank. Now Alex is just moving his things. How can he ignore her needs? She is still studying and has lots of things to take care of. She had her own study room in her home. Here too, she thought he would give it an opinion. Instead, he ignored her side casually. He even started arranging everything.

“What’s the difference? I mean, I am leading my team and we have banged a new project too. So I might be working overtime. As you know, it’s our small company which we have built and have only a few people in it. So there would be hell lots of work for me.” Alex cleared his point shrugging his shoulders. He couldn’t understand what she meant by that question.

Now Clara is mad and angry. Why is he explaining everything? She understands his view totally. He couldn’t even catch her sarcastic comment as he was answering her question. Didn’t he catch her point that he should have the courtesy of asking her opinion before deciding anything? It is just a room. But still, she doesn’t like it. She wants the room too for her studies.

“Alex, for your kind information, I am still studying even though it’s an internship, I have lots of things to take care of which you can’t ignore for sure. You can’t take the room alone. You can at least ask me. But you just informed me. Is that right? I won’t allow you to take it.” Clara stood up from her chair and she crossed her arms in a dominating way. She puffs the hair over her face making her look like an angry bird in all senses. Alex now turned to see her and realised that his baby wife was angry with him.

“Jaan,(dear) relax. I was just. Okay, leave those. Let’s divide it into two with a screen or something. I will look into it and make it possible. If you want that room, that’s also okay with me. I will create a mini room in this hall. It’s spacious here. So no worries for me.” He snakes his hand around her waist to calm her down with his gesture alone. He is not aware of her state which melted into puddles once he called her jaan. And the rest of his explanations skipped away from her ears. Though she knew that he solved the problem.

“I. I. Mean. Whatever. That’s better as you at least considered my opinion.” Stuttered Clara, lowering her eyes, not able to meet his gaze. She doesn’t want him to know how he is affecting her in all senses.

“Is it our first precious beautiful fight?” Alex asked, raising her eyebrows with so much naughtiness that it started tingling Clara’s stomach and she pushed him a little as a result.

“Maybe. Because it’s the first time, we had a long conversation about something other than your flirts.” Clara mocked and expressed her annoyance. She didn’t like how her first day in this home started with a fight which ended smoothly for sure.

“I guess you remember everything I said on our engagement day.” Alex started it as a statement as he neared her in no seconds. Clara looked shocked at his face revealing that she remembered each and every word he spoke that day. How can he turn anything into romance? One should take lessons from him.

Before she could say or do anything, Alex placed soft kisses over her cheeks which turned to pinkish plum with his presence itself. She could do nothing but remember his words from that day.

“I can’t guarantee that we won’t fight. But whenever we fight, I will be the first to console you, convince you, hug you and kiss you” Alex vocalist it again giving jitters to all her body. He is indeed a prince charming in Cinderella stories. She felt content to have him in his life. What else could she ask for? She hugged more to his embrace. She loved the way he handles her mood swings. She knew that she was being so picky. But whenever he senses that her mood is going in an off direction, he throws his charms and it works out well every time. She noted it to be perfect to match his charm. She doesn’t want to be a sulking wife.
