It had been a month since Mayuri and I started dating. I never really expected it to last beyond the first date, but here I am, waiting for her, at my apartment itself.
My furnished and tidy 1 BHK homespace which I cleaned specifically only when Mayuri was coming.
Otherwise, why'd I even care? Not like I am the most hygienic of 'em all.
Blah!
You must be wondering why we never go out on dates, right? Why always at home while we don't even engage in..you know...18+ stuff.
Well, we prefer to chill at home only. We both live on our own, away from our families, in rented apartments to get some personal space.
We don't really feel the need to go out when we can always chill watching an anime & eating Chinese.
I am brought out of my daydreaming as the bell rings.
Ting Tong.
A smile engulfs my face.
When Mayuri walks in, I notice the grin on her face before I see the bag in her hand. She was looking radiant in her yellow top and blue jeans.
She looked like she was up to something, and knowing her, that “something” was probably going to leave me feeling like a mini version of myself.
“What’s in the bag?” I ask, trying to sound casual, though I was definitely intrigued.
“Oh, you’ll see,” she replies with a sly smile. She set it down on my coffee table and slowly pulled out a massive pair of heels. And then another. And another. Each pair looked more insane than the last.
“You brought…heels?” I stammer, eyeing the towering footwear. “That one looks like it’s a foot tall!”
I gulp, already imagining how each of those would make her grow taller and taller over me. “So…are we really doing this?”
“Absolutely,” she laughed, already slipping into the first pair of 2-inch heels. “Let’s see how long it takes for you to realize just how small you really are.”
Ohh boy! Was I in for a treat? Hell Yeah
With the 2-inch heels on, Mayuri stands up to a solid 6’7”, and I immediately notice the difference. Suddenly, I’m staring just below her chest, and to even meet her gaze, I have to tilt my head back. A wave of excitement and intimidation washes over me; being just below her chest like this makes her seem larger than life.
“So?” she asks, her voice teasing. “How’s the view from down there?”
“Honestly…kinda amazing,” I admit, feeling a strange thrill at being just below her chest level.
She reaches down, ruffling my hair. “Aw,” she coos, her words dripping with mock sympathy. “Guess it’s going to be a bit hard to see eye to eye, huh?”
I chuckle, nervously looking up at her. “Maybe you could lean down a little?”
She laughs and stands even taller. “Not a chance. Get used to looking up, Shivam. There’s more where this came from.”
When she slips into the 5-inch heels, she shoots up to 7 feet exactly. Standing next to her now, I’m staring at her ribcage. My head barely reaches her collarbone, and I’m left craning my neck back even further just to see her face. She notices it, too, her expression a mixture of delight and amusement.
“Feeling a little overwhelmed?” she asks, leaning down with a smirk. “I mean, you’re way below my chest now.”
I try to play it cool. “Nope, all good,” I reply, though inside, I’m reeling. This is an entirely new feeling, and honestly, it’s exhilarating.
“Yeah?” she raises an eyebrow, holding my phone high above her head. “Then prove it—come and get this,” she teases, dangling my phone well out of reach.
I laugh, trying to grab it, but I can’t even come close. She just laughs as I stretch and jump, her arm effortlessly lifting the phone higher each time.
“Face it, Shivam,” she says with a smirk, “you’re never reaching this. Not with me up here.”
“Alright, alright,” I mutter, feeling both embarrassed and thrilled. “Just…give it back.”
She leans down, her gaze amused as she finally hands it back. “But it’s so cute seeing you try,” she teases, brushing a strand of hair from my forehead.
I have to admit! Seeing her all high and mighty left me all squeaky in the knees. Her over-empowering presence made me all the more excited, not to mention submissive as well.
Standing up close to her in those heels I had to move back to look at her face.
Otherwise, all that I'd see would be her cuties (yeah, I'd given them a nickname) staring right back at me.
With the 7-inch heels on, Mayuri now towers at an astounding 7’2”. I find myself eye-level with her ribs, barely halfway up her body. The feeling is almost surreal; she seems so impossibly tall now, her figure filling my vision. I can’t help but feel a little flustered, overwhelmed by the sheer size difference.
“Well?” she asks, placing a hand on her hip and looking down at me with a grin. “Ready to admit you’re in way over your head?”
I swallow, grinning up at her. “I might be…just a little.”
She laughs, bending down slightly so she can look at me more easily. Even crouched, she’s still a good head taller, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
“Oh, you’re way more than ‘a little’ outmatched,” she teases. “Look at you—you’re practically doll-sized next to me.” She extends her arm, giving me a little nudge that makes me stumble backward, which only makes her laugh harder. “Aw, can’t keep your balance?”
“You’re just lucky you’re, like, a giant right now,” I mutter, playfully annoyed.
“Exactly,” she replies, grinning. “And I’m loving every second of it.”
The moment she puts on those 12-inch heels and stands up, I feel like the room shrinks around us. At 7’7”, Mayuri is towering, her presence filling the space completely. I’m just above her waist now, and looking up at her feels like looking up at the ceiling.
She gazes down at me, arms crossed, a smirk playing at her lips. “Well, short stuff? How do you feel now?”
I don't even know how short I'd look from her perspective. Little than a kindergartner I guess.
“Like I should start calling you ‘Your Highness,’” I reply, unable to hide my amazement. She seems so impossibly tall, almost like a figure out of a dream, or a myth. My heart races as I look up, feeling completely dwarfed and, if I’m honest, absolutely thrilled.
“Hmm, I like that,” she says thoughtfully. “But don’t think you’re off the hook.” She reaches down, her fingers brushing against my cheek before resting on my shoulder. “Are you going to try reaching me one last time?”
I laugh, already knowing how this will end. “Sure, why not?” I say, giving it one last jump. But I don’t even make it to her chest. She bursts into laughter, shaking her head as she looks down at me with that smug, teasing expression.
“Oh, my poor Shivu,” she coos, reaching down and tousling my hair. “You’re practically a little action figure next to me now.”
I roll my eyes, though I can’t help smiling. “Alright, alright, you win.”
She laughs, pulling me in close and resting her chin on top of my head. “You know,” she says softly, “it’s kind of adorable having a guy I can look down at like this.”
I look up at her, and in that moment, the teasing melts away just a little, leaving something softer. “You’re not so bad yourself…giantess,” I tease back, savouring every second.
She laughs, giving me a playful squeeze. “Good answer, short stuff. I think I could get used to this.”
After our little show, we settle on the couch and for the first time, we have beer together.
And well, those two BroCodes did do their magic.
After finishing 2 bottles each, we both stumble to the terace, laughing at how drunk we were.
We were completely unaware of the sight that awaited us!
A sky lit with stars. As many stars as you can hope to see in the dusty city of Delhi I mean.
But to be honest the sky looked clearer than normal and it left us both awestruck.
We sit on the floor, not even caring to wipe it before sitting. We were crazy drunk and enjoying every second of it.
Mayuri leans her head on my shoulder. I felt relaxed in that moment.
"Mayuri" I whisper.
"Yeah..." she whispers softly.
"What's your biggest fantasy?"
"To watch the northern lights with the one I love. If you laugh I'm gonna kill you"
To say I was surprised would be an understatement.
"Being honest...I love that kind of corny crap." I reply.
I look into her eyes. They shine, just like the moon's glow.
I think I will do it now!
I lean into her. She is surprised to see me come closer but after a moment gives in.
As our lips meet, I feel on fire.
The chill of the night dissipates as passion engulfs us both. I drape my hands in her hair and deepen the kiss.
I bite on her lips, asking permission to slip in.
Her moan fills me with passion.
Her towering stature even while sitting down made it difficult to kiss her properly.
So I go one step ahead and sit in her lap. Talk about the reversal of roles.
She smirks and I know she's thinking of another teasing remark but she stays silent.
Kissing me with all she had!
It was a starry night after all!
