Sitting around a table were his gang of friends, the laughter a pitch higher than usual- signalling much of the bottle had been drained. A glance at the center of the table affirmed her assumptions, she smiled at her own accuracy. People shrugged her a hello, pleasantries became least important on match nights. The guys had become life, she didn't mind getting ignored any more. But where was the one man she'd come looking for? "He's inside working on some silly project" came one disapproving voice; match night was supposed to be solely dedicated to cricket. Luckily her man thought otherwise.
Walking across the hall, she opened the door to his room; their love-nest. The smell of paint greeted her, so good to have common hobbies she thought looking at his incomplete canvas. The warm breeze from the open balcony enticed her to drop her bags and walk into the open. Avi was still nowhere to be seen. Out in the balcony, she heard him humming in the shower as a yellow glow from the bath showed through the window. A tiny peek would certainly not hurt anyone? On the tip of her toes she stood at the edge of the railing; her eyes glittered at one naughty thought; tip-toed she went to fetch a bottle of water...
Splash! through the window... Did he notice? Maybe not! Splash! she tried again.
"What the... Stop it you!"
Splash!
"STOP!" he growled.
"I have taps in here, what are you thinking?"
Splash! & giggles
"Stop it now, I say" this time he sounded stern.
Splash! not stern enough.
"Okay that's it" & the splash was answered with a returning splash, that missed her and she laughed pointing that out; irking him further.
The splash-match continued.
