A Yes☺️
“Is that a YES” he shouted
“Umm.. what?”
“Did you just agree to my proposal from NY Eve?”
“I didn’t read your other text” she said glumly “I rushed to tell you it needs resizing” she said hoarsely from all the crying and throwing up, and fighting with Sagar
“That’s fine… that’s fine…. I don’t know why I sent that”
“Its OK I am fine… u can pick up ur ring”
“STOP MRunalini!” he ordered
“I am at the office”
“Call me or I will come see you tonight… I cant cook… I have leftovers, I forgot to order a cylinder so I don’t have gas”
“I will arrange one”
“I don’t want to cook” she was irriated
“I get that… me too… I will bring take out” he laughed and laughed
“I forgot to pick him up too… they will fine me I think”
He was shocked
“He is still in school?”
“I just told u I am at the office”
“U shud have texted me” he said casually
“I couldn’t OK…. I can pay you whatever they charge you”
“I am not looking for a fight don’t go there M”
“I have a lot going on”
“I said its fine”
“Don’t bring food I can order my own”
“I will see you at 7”
He showed up at 7, was leaning on the wall, Kirti of course always looking for good gossip invited him in and made him chai and fed him poha, he shared some of the snacks he had bought for Dhru and her
Kirti asked him HOW they were related
He told her he is the father of the child
“Matlab… shaadi nei karoge aap?”
He had politely told her “We are not married at this time”
The boys had run in and out of the house, banging Mrunalini’s door and ringing her bell
Mrunalini returned with a scowling Dhru two bags of veggies, and other grocery, her laptop bag and wet umbrella
When she saw the boys out and about Dhru was immediately OK he wanted to go over, he went in without asking
She just opened the door put everything in the kitchen and went to her bed and lay face down
It was 8:22… he had just lied she thought that he was bringing food
Irritated she went to take a shower and when she stepped out, she noticed, Kirti giggling and fawning by the doorway when she peeked through the door hole
It was Aatreya
Dhru hadn’t returned to even inform her
BRAT! She scowled toweling her hair opening the door furiously to yell at him
“He brought me so much snacks” Kirti smiled sheepishly
“Great… u should eat it all” Mrunalini smiled and clapped softly
“DHRUUUUUUU” she shouted
He appeared a good 5 minutes later with a “Who are you look”
“You have to do homework and shower and eat”
Aatreya excused himself and attempted to enter Mrunalini’s house
“Oh let him play, they are young” Kirti promised
“He needs to be home” Mrunalini glowered
“Give them 30 minutes… I am making masala rice can he eat?”
“Well he only has 114 allergies” she responded bitingly in Marathi
“I will make sure I ask him and give him correctly?” Kirti promised
“If he refuses to eat please let him be” she sighed
“Of course Of course” Kirti shut the door
He looked at her half amused half curious, set the bag on a table in the corner
“Congratulations” he grinned
“For what? I was not promoted…. My Fath… umm.. he tried to bribe Sen but nope no promotion” she looked at him confused
“for agreeing to marry me”
She took a step back coloring self consciously “I sent the text before I read thru”
“I am going to resize that ring” he muttered smiling lazily
“U can have it” she picked up the box from where it lay from Dec 31…
His hand closed around her arm as she reached for the ring box, his expression dangerously playful
She had learned to be aware of the wicked look
“U look at me with indifference or disdain” he whispered on her lips, peering into her eyes
“I don’t have disdain…” she muttered
“I think u are lying” he whispered, his hand stroking up and down her arm, he swooped in to stake his claim his other hand cupping her face, guiding her deeper into his purposeful kiss, his chest crushing her curves, as he moved gently in front of her, tilting his head to obtain more access to her syrupy surrender
Her fingers curled into her palms as her anxiety and distress of the day was stunningly eroded, quickly morphed into a fierce hunger, causing her to arch her trembling body
She muttered softly under his lips, as he whispered heated encouragement, his nostrils flaring, enjoying her nervous arousal, his tongue foraying into her mouth’s crevices delicately teasing to find even more sensitive surfaces
His hand reached to cup her curve… growling when he found no lingerie underneath her tee
She allowed herself to be aroused as she felt his thumb, letting out a sob into his mouth, hot pleasure pooled between her legs
“I cannot wait for us to be married” he whispered kissing her neck
“Why Aatreya?” she begged
“Because you demolish me and blossom me” “If that sounds stupid… then forgive me I am not a poet” he groaned
There was pounding on the door as Jaidrith and the boys noisily yelled outside
