#Impulse
The meal was grand, purely for the fact that Tan and Sam were back to talking
It was Thai noodles... not a thing more
II had quickly made some halwa for Navratri bhog
Sam made plans to host Ashtami at her house, she face timed with Manya to make sure she can show up at 8
II had the day off because she was having people over in the evening
Sam scolded Tan for eating mutton pakoras during Navaratri
"Yaar agar tu ghar par nahi to I dont have any reason to follow your rules" Tan said smugly
R&B chuckled
Sam punched him "Quit encouraging him" she warned waving a finger
The girls were making a noodle-y mess on a water proof dora mat
They offered clumps of it to whiever help passed by, Nivi had many strings hanging off her head
After a point II gave up
She got fed a clump too
Ranjan's phone rang, it was Chachu asking if II would go to Ashtami at their house
Ranjan stepped off the table
"Waise once upon a time men never shaved or had sex during Navratri, its like going to Vaishno Devi" Tan said
"Dont exaggerate" Sam said primly
"Nahi maanti na? pooch apne Dad se" Tan invited
"Chhheee..." Sam shook her whole body
"Tere bhai ke bas ki baat nahi hai I know... haan shaving hai, but" Tan laughed out loud
II was on the dora mat...
She didnt look at R&B she knew his expression
"I just dont care for rituals" he said quietly
"Dekh... is shehzaade ko" Tan mocked his wife
"Usne kabhi kuch follow kiya hai? The point is u ate meat and drank beer."
"AND I shaved AND I will..." Tan stopped
Ranjan returned just as Sam hit Tan on his arm
"Chache ke ghar hoye ao puttar?" his eyes were emotional
Sam looked at R&B
II looked at Ranjan
"Jee Dad"
"there u go, shes made up her mind" R&B said cynically
Sam turned around to see II
"Tumhe jaana hai?" she asked
"Dad wants us to" "I invited Chachi and her DILs for tomm nite" she muttered
"And?" Sam asked
"Pata nahi" II said quietly
"Changa puttar" Ranjan was smiling with gratitude
The girls began to swoon, II picked Lasya up, Nivi started to cry. She sat Lasya down on the sink
"Sam Dad he room se Nivi ka towel laayengi?" she asked
Sam went and came back couldnt find it she said
Lasya was enjoying the sink shower
r&B handed her two "Oh mil gaya?" she said carelessly without looking
"I live here remember?" he muttered
She shut the faucet and they exchanged a look
He grabbed Lasya
Nivi had walked all over the kitchen floor with peanut sauce feet
Messing up Ranjan's pant legs... II grabbed her gave her a sink bath and handed her to Ranjan
"Main rakhoon isko aaj raat ko?" he offered Sam, pointing to Lasya
Sam smiled
"Tan miss karengey" she argued feebly
"Kya baat kar rahi hai? Bilqul nahi" Tan nodded in aproval
II chuckled
Mahavir had brought a bunch of clothes for the girls
The male help were not allowed to dress or change the girls
In fact Ii usually did it behind closed doors
She returned from Ranjan's bedroom carrying a half asleep Lasya
Nivi was already knocked out
"Dad isko bhi aapke kamre mein daal doon?"
"Kya yaar apne paas nahi sulayegi?" Tan teased
II smiled awkwardly
"Dono ne gudiya ko soney nahi dena hai"
"Dad Nivi to so chuki, aur doosra kaun? Oh HAAAN... saale sahab" Tan leered
Ranjan gathered Lasya
"Chalooo Tan" Sam ordered
She found him in his office looking through stacks of Inc. magazines looking for an article it seemed like
"I am taking the day off tomorrow" she said at the doroway
"He paused lifted his head and she heard a "hmmm"
"Amma forwarded my invite to all her friends" she explained
He picked up a stack of books and straightened, he was wearing cargo khakis and a burnished red plaid shirt
Like he was about to go some place
"Tum rahogey ghar par kal?" she asked
"Umm.. not sure" he said thoughtfully
"Umm" she lingered
He crossed his arms across his chest
"Amma wants us to visit Rohini with Nivi" she announced
He nodded
"Chalogey?" she asked
"I cant..." he said "i ve got stuff to finish up" he said
Her face turned pale
"Work stuff" he said exhaling through his nostril losing his cool a bit as her assumption that he was "done with her"
"Akka ke ghar?" she asked
"When is that?" he checked
"Kabhi bhi" she said
"Maybe in November?" he said
"Before the end of Navaratri" she explained
she walked over as he waited, she went on her toes and kissed his cheek and then his lips
Her body was warm and gooey to him
"Jus what I need right now. Goddang it!" he cursed mentally
She began to kiss him boldly, upper lip lower lip, upper lip, pausing leaning her forehead on his
SERIOUSLY?
U DONT WNAT TO BE KISSED?
She tried again, his mouth was open, he dropped the books and grabbed her energetically, wrapping his arm around her waist
Holding her neck bending down offering the gift of his mouth fully
They splurged hungrily
When he began to get aggressive, she purred eagerly
He stopped
"Go to bed II" he warned
"Tum nahi chalogey?" she asked clinging
"I just said no" "Bed time!!!" he warned letting her "cool off" on his chest
The tone sounded like how he sounded when admonishing Nivi for something naughty
In fact exactly like that
"umm.. well..U are just looking through magazines" she complained forgetting he was pissed over her strange rules about sex
"Well... Ive gotta work" he said gruffly, gently loosening her grip
When they were a few feet from each other the realization of why she was being dumped sank in
She smoothed her hair with shaky fingers, and tripped over the mags he had dropped
He bend down to pick them up
~~~~~
She found him in bed the next morning when she woke at 7.
He was asleep face down
She picked up his hand and placed it over her neck... held his wrist and let his limp finger tips trail her neck, and slowly let feel the edge of the dark red scrap of lace on her upper body
Used her other hand so his index finger could trace the edge of it.
He snored softly, as if approving her stunt
She took his hand on a pleasure trip
She should have stopped at at certain point, she didnt, when she reached for his other hand...
He was sleeping on his belly, his left hand was between his torso and the bed, there was no way she could have "used" it
But #impulse
She lay over him to free it, and then realizng she can bring it up to her body, she tried to make him go on his side
She pushed too hard and he went on his back and woke up
"A sight to wake up to" he thought dreamily
The wine red lacy scrap of a traingle, the ruby red nose ring and the smudged kohl smeared eyes
She quickly lay back, groaning
SHITTT!!!
He turned towards her, anchored his head on his forearm/hand.
They looked at each other deeply
"What did u do with my hand?" he asked expressionlessly
"Umm" her voice was lost
She found it after a bit of struggle
"Umm.. I took it out on a stroll" she gasped turning red
"Why?" he asked
TRUST HIM TO BE DIRECT AND NO BS
SERIOUSLY
WHY DO U THINK?
U PIG
"I cant seem to get your attention while awake. So I thought why not while asleep" she said
"Do u need to talk?" he asked
And chuckled self deprecatingly
"Ofcourse she needs to talk. She loves to talk" he told himself
WILL TAKE YOUR f**kING HAND ON A STROLL IF I NEED TO "TALK"?
"Can we kiss?" she begged
"Why?" he asked
He was happy the duvet was up his waist, and her nude thigh was inches away
Unless she felt the throb and knew she had nailed him
She looked sad and defeated...
"its good payback" he clenched his jaw
"Umm... I better get up" she said and pulled a undersheet painfully, straining, and wrapping herself as she left the room
He layback down and fantasized the trip his hand took... felt his finger tips, and inhaled the scent
"II" he nodded, resting his head on the pillow
