90Days

Day 91:

That “Tuesday” was finally here.  Both were extremely excited.

 He was already in the bedroom waiting for her impatiently. She was taking some time. He yelled her name. She said “in a minute”. Phone rang as she was coming towards the bedroom. She went to pick it up and it turned out to be her little sister on the other side.

He took this opportunity and sprayed perfume in the room, the one she loved. Went up the cupboard to get those fancy candles he had bought. Lit them around the bed and dim the lights. Why Sara can’t just let one night go without calling my wife, he thought as he lied on the bed looking at the candle flame dance on cool breeze coming through the window. She finally put down the phone. His heart beat increased. After 5 years of marriage, still he was as excited to be with her as he was on their first time. thanks  to none other than Sofia.

Even though they loved each other a lot, one night after doing “it” they weren’t sure if they were happy. It was dry, as Sofia put it to Mark. Both of them were filling guilty and just wasn’t able to sleep, both of them lied on bed looking at opposite side. Then Sofia had enough of this, she turned towards Mark and exclaimed “90 days”

She explained the concept to Mark.

“what?”

“YES, no kissing, no hugging, no touching here n there and no immediate hopping in to the showers”

“so you say that our problem is that we do a lot of it?”

“no, our problem is that we are to familiar with It….. we need to clear our system and find that attraction again…and make love than …… this”

“so….abstaining is our solution….”

“may be”

“What if, we don’t find our self attractive in this period? Then …..”

She put her hand in his hair, gently playing with it she said “no matter what you say I know you love me and I know I LOVE you too so THAT is not an option”

Raising his one eyebrow he asked: “hmm I agree to 90 days ..however…..do you want to make it a bit more interesting…. rather than just abstaining?” he had that playful look in his eyes as he said it.

“what do you have in mind?” she wasn’t a women who backs down.

“seduction…..”

She was amused by this thought but she didn’t want him to know it and asked “what do you mean?”

“what do you think I mean? I am talking about seduction, each of us would try to seduce other… Well, at least once in a day! other person has stop falling to the temptation……and most important part: we honestly have to appreciate the attempts as well… by yelling an acknowledgment signal as…. “Strike one or two  ” so other partner would know…” he thought he was genius till she asked the following.

“what if you don’t try to seduce me ….what if you forgot in your busy work schedule?”

He was blank.

“I have an answer, you’ll cook for me that night ….whatever I want” she sat up and started waving her hands in the air as if she was dancing.

He.. took the words in….a moment later agreed.

“and what if you didn’t try to seduce me?” Mark asked her, stressing the word ‘seduce’

“than…………”

“oh . I have an answer….” Mark got up from bed, mocking her as he said it.

“Sofia would do NO TELEPHONE to parents……..and sister the next whole day …” with that Mark actually started dancing. Sofia reluctantly agreed but she knew Mark would fail so miserably she won’t have worry about no calls to Sara, her sister.

Sofia just wanted to make sure about the honesty in implementation of the rules so she took out the marriage photo from frame and said: “so Mark, you take oath to accept the rules of abstaining, seduction and yelling Strikes with full honesty?”

“I do” Mark said it as he placed his hand on the photo. “do you?”

“I do” she kept her hand on his hand on the photo as she said it. This is going to easy, she thought to herself as she smiled to him.

DAY 1:

“Mark honey, you’ve a phone call”

Mark rubbed his eyes only to see, Sofia in a wet towel covering from chest to knee, with wet hair on those bare shoulders and that look in the eyes.

Strike ONE.

After gasping for breath he said “ahh keep it on table” he wanted to rip that towel from her body and wanted to kiss her but just in time “NO touching” rule had flashed in front of him. He kept ogling her as she walked towards the washroom, collecting her inners she had carefully placed for him to see.

Strike TWO.

Mark forgot the “seduction” rule and inevitably cooked noodles and salad for her that night.

Day 2

Mark hated himself as he cooked her favorite pasta and have to cut all those vegetable to make her “the salad”

Day 3

That morning, Sofia woke up with the thought that what she could have for dinner tonight as she knew Mark would as always forget the “seduction” rule. Mark had some different plan.  He was getting ready for important meeting.

Mark had his tux which suits him so perfectly out on the bed. Mark knew Sofia loved that tux on him. It was the same tux he wore when he proposed her. She could never forget how sexy he looked that night.

“It’s all in the eyes” Mark kept telling himself as he started buttoning the White shirt. Sofia got up and sat on the bed waiting for Marks move.

He took the tux and wore it. As he was adjusting it tux in the mirror, Sofia unknowingly had closed her eyes, she could picture that night as if it had happened yesterday. That look, how he smelled, his tight embrace, that racing of the heart beat and that first kiss. She felt a tingle in her spine as she thought about that kiss.

Mark saw Sofia grinning and biting her lower lip.

Mark was walking confidently towards the bedroom door. Sofia opened her eyes.. only to meet Marks.. Something in his eyes… made her feel to hug him…. Just as that thought popped up, she exclaimed “Strike One”

Mark punched his fist in the air as he walked out of bedroom.

In coming week Mark joined a near by health club just to get back in shape. He would come out of shower flaunting his muscles and abs towards Sofia leaving her helplessly shout  “ strike ”.

She was also no less. She would flaunt her perfect “Curves” in front of him leaving him skip a beat.

Still there were days when Mike would prepare the salad but this time he didn’t hate it. Sofia would talk to Mark more than her sister made Mark really happy.

One day Mark came home early and he decorated the bedroom with white Lilly’s. That threw Sofia completely in the orbit of joy and she almost forgot the rules and came dangerously close to Hug him. She wanted to. He wanted to.

Both started appreciating each other. Mark started to behave like a perfect gentleman towards her. Pulling chair for her while dinning together, respecting her on the dress choices and his compliments about how beautiful she looked sometimes made her yell “Strike One”

Both would cross a day in the calendar and had their 91^th day marked with symbol of heart, with Sofia’s red lipstick.

It was coming as Tuesday.

Day 91:

Sofia came in the bedroom. She took a long breath as she smelled her favorite perfume. Her eyes were looking for Mark. But he was there on the bed. Her body wanted to feel mark, feel his embrace, his lips. She was a bit annoyed to find Mark wasn’t there.

Suddenly Mark hugged from behind so tight that she felt she would dissolve in his hug. She turned towards him and planted a passionate kiss on his lips. He slid his hands in her long hair, gently pulling her head upwards. He slid his lips towards her neck, slowly giving her a love bite as he lifted her from her waist and started walking towards the bed.

That night they made LOVE. He felt her fabulous curves and she could feel his new strength.

Finally on 91th night, they were united, with body and soul.
