Chapter 17
Ragav looks towards Kalpi who is seated with her hands folded in front of her, gazing out the window since they began their journey back to London. Sighing he thinks, "how long is she going to ignore me? I think we should have taken one car instead of two." He says aloud, "we should reach london in an hours time..." Ignoring him Kalpi switches on the car music system and without missing a beat turns ip the volume, drowning out his voice.Clenching his jaw as he stops mid sentence, he clenches his fists, holding the steering wheel tightly, fighting with himself to control his anger... His temper. They continue their journey without talking, music blaring between them.
Kalpi sits up and frowns as she sees the familiar surroundings, confused she looks at Ragav whose attention is on the road. Lowering the music she turns back to Ragav and says, "where are we going?" Receiving no answer she continues, "why are we heading towards my home?" Ragav glares at her, ignores her and turns up the volume to the music and gives the road his attention.
Kalpi looks at him in disbelief, she folds her arms and looks straight ahead, mentally cursing him, "damn him. Just because I ignored him earlier... Hmmm." As Ragav parks the car in front of her home, a thought crosses Kalpi's mind. With a hint of mischief in her eyes she leans towards Ragav who is switching off the car, blows air into his ears, tickling him and quickly sits back curiously waiting to see what will he do. Startled at her behavior Ragav turns to look at her wondering what the hell is going on. Seeing the mischief in her eyes, he grins and leans towards her.
Kalpi leans away from him, shutting her eyes as she waits anxiously for his breath to tickle her. Confused when she feels nothing, she opens her eyes to see Ragav staring at her lips. Licking her lips nervously, her heart racing, she says softly, "ragav..." Stopping when she reads desire in his eyes as their gaze meet. He pulls her towards him and kisses her passionately. Moments later Kalpi sputters, "I thought you would..." Ragav interrupts her, saying, "there are times I may react in a similar manner and there are times I may not." He forces his gaze away from her lips, as his desire spirals out of control... Groaning he says, "you can't tease me like this." Seeing her confusion he adds, "especially when I have a promise to keep." Curious for this is the second time tonight that he mentions the promise. Kalpi is about to ask him about this promise he keeps mentioning when Prem and Pakhi arrive, parking their car next to their. Ragav gestures towards them, saying, "go ahead, I shall join you in a minute."
*************************
Pakhi looks at the kitchen table where everybody is seated, thinking, "what a day... A nightmare. Can't wait for it to end." She watches as prem and Ragav converse quietly... Having given up on trying to include Kalpi in their conversation. Frowning Pakhi watches as Kalpi ignores Ragav yet again when he speaks to her. Pour the tea into the mugs she wonders what the hell Kalpi is playing at, why is she being so childish!
Pakhi places the mugs of hot tea in front of everyone then sits down on an empty seat next to Kalpi. She leans forward and whispers, "what is wrong with you?" Sits back and smiles at prem and Ragav, saying aloud, "so what is important that you need to discuss with us?"
Ragav sits back with a smirk and watches prem take a deep breath and says, "I think it is best that nobody in our family should know of this marriage and how it happened."When the family comes for your graduation in July, Ragav will ask Gauri masi to send a proposal for Kalpi and Ragav will arrange an internship for both of you so that you can stay here." Kalpi says with a smirk, "what if aai and baba refuse the proposal?" Ragav smiles and says, "you shall just have to convince them that you love me deeply and can not imagine being not married to me!" Her smirk falters as Kalpi glares at him. Ragav continues, "in fact I would prefer it that everyone think we are in love and happy. Especially my mother. She is a romantic at heart... With the way we just got married it won't take much to convince her."
Kalpi frowns and replies, "if you think I am going to act like I love you, you had better think again," she turns towards prem and says, "you can do and say what ever you want, I don't care," and walks away. Ragav watches her leave with a frown, excusing himself and follows after her.
Ragav grabs hold of Kalpi's arm just as she enters her room. He forcefully turns her towards him, not caring should she hurt herself in the process. Kalpi falls onto his chest as she tries to steady herself. Angry at his rough treatment, she glares at him, only to have him glare back. Furiously, he demands, "how dare you..." Only to have her interrupt him, "how dare I! How dare you!"
Ragav lets go of Kalpi and forces himself to keep calm. He looks about her room and sits on the edge of the bed. He looks towards Kalpi, who is watching him in anger, a hint of stubbornness. With a sigh Ragav talks to her softly as he tries to explain to her why it is important for him that his mother think that they are in love and happy with the marriage. Kalpi unconciously inches closer to him, forgetting her anger as she focuses on hearing what he has to say. Ragav silently congratulates himself for speaking softly and even more softly so as to bring Kalpi closer to him, knowing full well that she would not want to be near him. He forces himself not to smile when Kalpi ends up standing right in front of him, her entire focus on what he is saying.
No longer angry, Kalpi hears him out, then says, "I am sorry Ragav, but I refuse to act for anyone's benefit in our marriage. It is best your mother or whoever else know the truth about our equation." Ragav looks at her speculatively, with a hint of mischief he pulls her towards him without saying a word. Kalpi grasps Ragav's shoulders as she tries to steady herself, too shocked to say anything... One moment she was standing in front of him and the next she was sitting astride on his lap... Their faces mere inches apart.
Caressing her cheek, and lips, desire pooling in his eyes, Ragav whispers, "you know you don't have a choice right." Kalpi nods affirmatively, her entire focus on his caress. Seeing a similar desire emerge in her eyes, Ragav continues on, "how about this... I am dying to kiss you... If you kiss me back... Then it means that whatever goes on between us, stays between us... And everybody, including my mum should think we are in love... If you don't kiss me back... Then whatever you decide."
Smiling into his eyes, Kalpi nods affirmatively at first then quickly covers his lips with her hand and whispers, "no, you will make me kiss you back..." Flushing she continues, "you are good... You make me forget... I... No." She ends, shaking her head as she removes her hand from his lips. Ragav tries to hide the satisfaction he feels when he hears her words. Silent for some moments as he tries to reel in his desire. Once he has some semblance of control, he asks, "okay, so what do you think we should do." Seeing the desire for her burning in his eyes, Kalpi says, "how about I kiss you and if you kiss me back, then I win and we do what I decide and if you don't..." Blushing profuriously, Kalpi is unable to finish her thought and lowers her gaze, studying his chest as she feels shy.
Ragav watches her, beaming with pride... Excited that she wants to inniate their kiss, choosing to ignore the reason why. Clearing his throat, his voice hoarse with passion, he whispers, "sounds good." He waits for Kalpi to meet his gaze and continues, "this is a fantasy come true... You initiating our kiss... I have another fantasy," he says as he pulls her closer, "a lap dance."
Blushing, Kalpi looks into Ragav's eyes, watches him fight to control his desire, feeling confident that she will be able to get him to kiss him back, she leans forward and kisses him... Hesitantly at first, using her memories their kisses, she trails kisses along his jaw and back to his lips, whispering, "Part your lips."
Taking a deep breath as he fights to control himself, dreading, he parts his lips, shuddering internally as he forces himself to remain still as Kalpi slips her tongue in. Several moments later, Kalpi breaks away and looks at him with dejection, seeing the desire pooling in his heated gaze, she is unable to understand what he does not kiss her back. Seeing the hint of sadness in her eyes, Ragav decides to kiss her back, when she whispers, "you win. I..."
Unable to hold himself back any longer, he flips her on the bed, covering her with his body as he kisses her with a burning passion... No longer in control of his desires.
P.S: had not planned a Ragna moment... But felt you deserved it... Mwah
