Texting at home..
She went back to her room, shut the door and exhaled audibly. The cat scampered back under her sheet and curled up.
If Aanu began using the franchise funds it was going to be impossible to be celibate now.
The force field surrounding them was powerful and intoxicating.
She couldnt remember feeling like this ever before. She had never grabbed Jayadev for a kiss, she never demanded the physical stuff, with him she was yearning for his touch
He was not rough, but he was not weak either, she couldnt describe, he held a strange power over her
He pretended to letr her choose but he got what he wanted at the end of it.
It was very confusing.
He was reverential and wicked at the same time, to get her to open her mouth he stroked the inside of her ear, or teased the center of her palm or the inside of her foot
The radiating pleasure waves usually got him what he wanted
"Ashwinnn" every time she said his name out loud, through dry lips or in a gasp of shock, he injected the creamy pleasure with his touch
She had bunched up his tee and yanked it for the second time today, bringing his lips closer
she did that by the door that day, now on his bed, impatient and hungering for his taste
she sat on the bed shaking
He probably did not love her
But do I care she thought
No, not one bit, I would not even want him to love me
I just want him...
"Oh God" she groaned, shut her eyes and imagined utsav in Ullal, wearing half sarees and running around with Lissie and Mru
Her phone rang, it was Sharanbir
"How are you?"
"Umm.. I was just getting ready to sit down and study" she said nervously
"I asked How are you not what you were doing"
Grandpa and grandson could get the award for putting people on edge
"I wasnt thinking" she said sitting down on the bed, drawing her legs up and leaning on the headboard
"Uh oh, you are a scholar, you must never stop thinking"
"Sometimes its hard"
"Is somebody bothering you?"
"No... no... I am fine.. nobody" she spoke too soon
"I meant to say "Something"
"Oh... umm... I was thinking of my family since its Utsav" she said
"Are you going?"
For the first time she couldnt bring herself to say "yes tomorrow" "day after" or anything
"i dont know"
"You are not officially signed up yet, so you could go"
"But what if they call me?" she made excuses for the first time
"Thats right, yes, you not go then." he agreed
"Umm" she wondered why he called
"I wanted to pick you up today so you can come home have dinner, and before that go help me pick out some employee gifts?" he offered
"i cannot do that I dont work for you" she smiled calmly
"you can if I ask you to"
"I dont know if I can go because its saturday"
"You want to spend time with my grandson?"
Good grief... her insides crash landed on the bed
"No... I dont, he is anyway busy only with his friends, usualy on weekends"
"You should get busy with your friend"
"You are his grandpa" she smiled amused at his refernce
"So I cant be your friend?"
"Umm.. you can, but he doesnt know we are friends?"
"Do you know who all his friends are?"
"Umm.. no" she nodded
"Then we should keep our friendship a secret"
"I want to study for a couple of hours, and then come" "I am fasting so I have to do pooja"
"You can pray here, I am religious too, you can meet one of my grandsons, he is visiting from Delhi, he has no konkani friend"
"He has friends from all other parts of the country?" she asked
"I think so" the old man said confidently
She laughed out loud, relaxed and comfortable
"You have a good laugh, you must have a good heart" he said boldly
"Oh? thank you. My father says its too noisy"
"Fathers cannot hear what I can" he said
"My father is very simple" she was sad thinking about her Aanu fighting the rains, his dhoti soaking wet trying to unlock the padlock on the back doors of the restaurant on cold cloudly mornings
"I am sure he is.. b" he stopped (beta?)
"5 O Clock?" she asked
"Yes, I will pick you up from Indira Nagar Pizza Hut"
"Umm.. Mr Narang, I dont think its nice to hide it from Ashwin" guilt ridden
"many things are not nice Ms Shanbag"
"Ashwin wants me to be safe since this is new place for me" she said
"You will be safe when you are with me"
"Then why cant I tell him?"
"Are you upset over hurting his feelings?"
She wanted to yes... she struggled for the longest time
"His mother is here also" Trisha tried fear tactics
"Good, then they can spend the evening catching up"
She left at 5 wearing a purple jaipuri kurta with a yellow chudidar, helped him pick out a present,
she picked out silver starfishes for the employees, he ordered over 1180 for all his Bangalore team
"Did you want me to pick something religious?" she asked on the way to his apartment
"No I wanted you to pick something you liked" he said with a smile
He fed her a delicious self cooked Punjabi meal, she met Rachit, he was not tall, he didnt have silky thick hair, and he wore socks
But he was super friendly and interested.
On the way home she was suddenly fearful if Rachit was going to tell Ashwin they had met
She tried calling Sharanbir his phone was switched off
she emailed him from Indira Nagar Pizza Hut
"dear Mr Narang
I am afraid I will have to tell Ashvin we met because, my mother in
law was mentioning this morning that Rachit was in town, so Ashvin knows.
If Rachit tells him we met, then he will know.
Thank you
Best Regards
Trisha Shanbag
20 minute walk home... his email response arrived
"Dear Ms Shanbag,
Your fears are exaggerated. Your mother in law will not come to know, please trust me.
Best
Mr Shanbag.
"Too busy having a good time to send a text?" he asked leaning on the doorjamb as the door opened, he was amused, his arms across the chest
"I was going to send you one after I went to my room" she said a lil flustered
"and say what?" he muttered softly
"I am back?" she said innocently
He grinned as she walked in faithfully taking off her jootis and carrying them to her room
"You are back soon" she muttered waving her hand
"Does that mean you are happy I am home?" he asked
She blushed, paused turned around and said "Means you never sent me a text also" she reminded
He went on his phone and texted her
"Trisha I am home early"
She smiled looking at it went to her room washed up and sat on her bed
"OK Thanks"
"Where is yours?" he asked after waiting
"You just saw me" she reminded him leaning back on the bed drawing her legs up
She picked up her phone after 20 or so minutes
And texted...
"I am late.. but home" she texted
