Chapter 13: Of Rain and Robes

He stood still for a moment, but then followed her out of the room. He saw her form disappear around the corner and knew that she was headed out to the balcony that faced the back of the house. He hadn't paused to put his shirt back on, which wasn't the smartest decision, as he later found out.

He walked out onto the balcony after her and she turned around when she heard his footsteps.

"Shiv, please leave me alone. I really don't want to deal with you right now."

He could swear that mother nature was conspiring against him because as soon as he walked out onto the balcony, it started raining.

She looked up in surprise at how suddenly it had started and ran back towards the side of the balcony that was protected by an awning on top. He walked up to her, but she moved away from him. The rain became heavier then, pelting in their direction so that the awning offered little in the way of protection. He stood in front of her and when she tried to move away, he put his arms out on either side of her so that she was at least somewhat safer from the downpour. He could feel the rain hard against his naked back though and before long, there were both completely drenched. He didn't know why they both just didn't go back inside… why they both insisted on staying in the harsh rain when shelter was just three feet away through the door.

"I told you I was sorry. Come on, we both shoot our mouth off at each other all the time. Why take this any more seriously than anything else I have said?" He asked now, leaning in close to her to be heard over the rain.

"Shiv, leave me alone. Why do you care what I take offense to and what I don't?"

She wanted him to go back inside; she was sure that the force and the angle at which the rain was hitting him was bound to cause some damage. The last thing she wanted was for him to get sick and miss work; then she would have to worry about running into him when she came back from the university. As it is, she didn't know how he could stay out until four in the morning, come home and sleep for three hours, and then get to work by 8:30. He ran one of the branches of his dad's company and Mr. Kapoor was as strict as they came, especially in the workplace – and the higher up the totem pole, the more he expected. But even without all that, even with all of Shiv's other vices, she knew that he had never had a cavalier attitude towards either his studies or his career. But of course, the satisfaction of giving his father nothing to complain about was also likely driving him. But with the pace that he has been keeping up in his partying for the past two weeks, he was going to have some serious issues if he didn't get more sleep. But this was all his problem, what did she care anyways…

She looked up when the force of the wind and the rain pushed him towards her and she instinctively put her arms out to hold him. She could feel the rain hard against her hands and looked at him to say, "Shiv, we have to get out of this rain. Your back is being pummeled. You won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

Instead of responding, he said, "I didn't mean for it to come out the way it did. Alright? I know I can be mean to you, but I am not cruel."

"Yes, you are!" she said automatically.

"No, I am not!" he said now in annoyance because she was making it so hard even after he apologized. Women always wanted more!

"Yes, actually, you are! and while we are on the subject of your merits, let's not leave out scoundrel, cad, womanizer…"

He didn't let her finish as one of his arms went around her waist to jerk her closer to him in anger.

"Manhandler! Bully!" She continued now, and then added, "Deflowerer of innocents!"

She could tell that she had crossed the limit, because even with the rain she could see his expression turn thunderous.

He picked her up suddenly – soaking wet and all – and carried her back into the house. She struggled a bit, but did not kick up so much fuss because they were dripping water all over the floors and the last thing she wanted was for him to slip and fall and make a ruckus and for his parents to come out and find them in this state. He did not appear so worried about any of these things and before she knew it, they were back in their room. He walked in and shut the door with his foot and dumped her unceremoniously onto the bed. Great! Now their bedspreads were going to be a wet mess. Before she could get up, however, he followed her down, and that was when she finally realized what he meant to do.

"Shiv! What are you…" she started, but he caught her hands that she had put out against his chest and stretched them back over her head and leaned over her.

"Shiv. Stop!"

He stopped right by her face and said, "You think I deflower innocents? Makes me wonder why my wife was left out of my list of victims! I should remedy that today itself!" he said now, leaning down to nuzzle her neck.

She struggled again and said, "Shiv, get off of me! Seriously, get off!"

He rose up on his elbows again and said, "How easily you accuse a man of such vile things and expect to not be taken seriously and think so highly of just your feelings"

"You prove every day to me that you are stronger than me and that you can use it against me! And you want me to be careful in my choice of words when I am angry??" she asked.

"I am stronger than you! But you know, and don't pretend otherwise Gauri!, you know that I would never harm you in that way! You just don't want to admit to yourself that you sometimes like it when I touch you!"

"I don't! I don't ever like it when you touch me!" she said now, vehemently.

"No?" he asked.

"No!" she yelled out.

She knew that he would try to prove her wrong, of course, a repeat of either crushing his lips to hers or sucking on her neck without preamble or any of those things… and she got ready to fight him… But he didn't do any of that. Instead, he now gently moved the wet hair back from her face and as she watched with hesitant unease, he brought one of her hands closer to him. He watched her face as he slowly kissed the pad of each of her fingers. It was such a novel experience that all she could do was watch it happen in fascination. His lips moved down to her wrist then and he kissed the pulse there, which became erratic at this attention.

"Shiv…" she started to say in obligatory resistance, but knew that her voice betrayed her because his name had never sounded softer on her tongue before…

He looked at her, and rather than the gloating expression that she had expected, his eyes were different too. They were more…

A knock sounded suddenly at the door and they both jerked up in bed.

"Who is it?" Shiv called out as he got off the bed and walked towards the door.

"It's me." It was his father!

Shiv looked back at Gauri as she quickly looked down at her wet clothes and slid off the bed to rush to the bathroom.

Shiv opened the door and saw that his father was already in his business suit; his father always left for work earlier than everyone else… there was never any competing with him in the work domain – the man had the discipline of a retired army general and Shiv was tired to trying to live up to his expectations.

"What did you do to her?" he heard his father ask.

"What?" Shiv said, surprised. "What do you mean, what did I do to her?"

"Shiv, there is water all over the hallway. And you clearly look soaked to the bone. I am sure this had something to do with Gauri. Where is she?"

"Are you kidding me, Dad? What do you think I am going to do to her? She and I got caught in the rain, yes, it's true. So, what? The last time I checked, that wasn't a punishable crime."

Gauri could hear them from inside the bathroom and she was surprised herself at what his father insinuated. Yes, Shiv could be mean as hell to her when he was pissed off, but what was he going to do to her, really!

She looked around the bathroom and once again found herself with no clothes to change into – she should probably start keeping extra sets of clothes in the bathroom given how often she was finding herself in this predicament – and the only thing she could find was Shiv's bathrobe. She changed into it; it was clearly oversized and hung off of her and she had to loop the belt around her twice, but at least it covered all of her and she walked out of the bathroom to assure Shiv's father that she was intact, flesh, blood, and everything in between.

"Hello Dad…" she addressed him as she came up to stand by Shiv, the term still sounding so strange on her tongue. It was a good thing that she called her father Baba.

Shiv's father looked taken aback at seeing her and appeared even more surprised as he looked her up and down. For someone so smart, she could be a total dimwit when it came to things like this, because she suddenly grasped the implication of wearing her husband's robe in the morning.

Shiv was looking at her in surprise as well and she heard his father say now, "Oh, I am sorry. I… I misunderstood." He walked away quickly, trying to not let his discomfort show.

Gauri watched his receding form and then looked down at herself to exclaim, "Shit!" just as she heard Shiv close the door with a laugh and say, "God! That was priceless! My father will never live this one down!"

To say that she was mortified was an understatement and she turned around to go back to the bathroom. She didn't get far before Shiv pulled her back towards him to say, "I believe you are wearing my robe, Gauri. Without permission."

"I will give it back. Hold on." She said, as she tried to get out of his arms.

Instead, his hold tightened around her as he whispered, "No, I want it back right now."

"Shiv!" she called out as she felt him start to untie the belt looped around her.

"Do you know how many times a day you call my name out like that?" he asked now, turning her around and backing her against the wall.

"I don't know. I haven't counted." She answered flippantly as she pushed against his chest once again.

"I want my robe back, Gauri. Right now."

"Stop playing around! You have to go to work."

He pressed his body into hers then and unraveled one of the loops around the robe.

The robe loosened a bit and one of its sleeves fell off, revealing a naked shoulder.

His gaze immediately went there and when he looked back at her, it was with a new expression on his face and she felt something flare in the pit of her belly.

She brought up her hand to hide her shoulder from his gaze and just as she was about to pull her sleeve back up, he grabbed the offending hand and took it away. She couldn't say anything to stop him as he rubbed a finger over her shoulder, almost as if he wanted to see what the skin there felt like.

She turned her head to the other side, unable to face him or tell him to stop. She felt his lips where his finger had been a moment ago and her eyes closed on their own, the pleasure that spread through her taking her by surprise.

He pulled back and looked at her… she was holding her hand against her chest to keep the robe from falling further open… he then looked up and saw the expression on her face… he took a few steps back so he wouldn't crush her to pieces with what he felt at seeing her like this.... Her eyes opened then and he saw something in them that he had never seen before.

His nights were about to become excruciating, he was suddenly sure…
