Wild & Wish list
No Elise or Marliese wasnt there, Alex and Jacque and Romain and Jullian were...
R&B fit into the group like a missing piece in a puzzle, they knew what he liked and he knew how to work the group
All were extremely respectful of Ranjan... he spoke a little French, they smiled when he attempted to respond
They warmed up to Manya too, though she hadnt seen them much together for extended periods of time
At II's wedding and a couple of visits to Paris after Savvy's passing
At II's wedding she was too busy being lost in Vik to care about Dimpal's partners
When the waiter arrived R&B said something in French, the waiter and his partners burst out laughing
she pulled att his tee "enna sonney?" she whispered
He pulled her silk blouse and whispered in her ear "Please dont serve "gourmet" portions"
One of the wife's quizzed II about pregnancy, Ii did her best to explain and after a point gave up and
generally smiled and chatted with Ranjan who sat on her other side
The food was ABSOLUTELY delicious French roasted cauliflower with thyme, onion soup, a French tomato mustard pie, a stuffed bell pepper with fennel and goat cheese
She couldnt move off the chair when the meal was over
The men did the best they could to involve her, the restaurant was too noisy and she didnt have a clue about French
"If I hold Siri by your mouth will she translate for me?" II chuckled
"Try it he coaxed, pulling her closer and snuggling
And then translated in French
"We speak in English now" said Romain
ONNODA ENGLISH UM PURIYALE
RAMA!!!
I CANT UNDERSTAND UR ENGLISH EVEN
JUST MY LUCK TO FALL FOR A GUY FROM PARIS
Many "hip" "KV HIP " to restate that term girls were taking French lessoons at Allianz... Amma wouldnt let her
"Edukku dee French? Appa allow panna maata, Metro is unreliable, DTC is horrile in the evening"
"Amma, its the opposite direction buses will be empty... most people will get out of office then"
"How will u study for boards?"
"Just like my friends do"
"Do u wnat to work for Air France?"
"Umm... maybe" she lied
Amma smacked her
"Podi" "Appa wont allow it"
"appa wont allow me to learn French become cabin crew, do modeling... everyone says I shud model for shampoos" "Or toothpaste" II grinned
"ISHITA..." amma warned
"Inda aathla my dreams will NEVER be realized" (In this house) "I am just going to run away"
"appa's Samsonite is just behind the door since he just returned from Madurai, adu poruma do u want a bigger one?"
"PO MA" Ii whined
"Hey" R&B tapped
"Ya?" she looked up
R&B pointed to Alex...
"Does he cook for u... he make sandwich and steak" Alex kissed his finger tips
"No... he says he knows nothing vegetarian" II grumbled
R&B translated...
the men laughed
"He very clever, he pick Indian girl, no meat" Romain said shrugging try to communicate he doesnt have to cook much for II
"AND NO alcohol" Manya waved her empty wine glass
"I drink wine" II claimed feebly
"Maine to nahi dekha" Manya said
"At my bachelorette" II said proudly
"REALLY?" Manya shook her head, half drunk
"And she said she wanted to lick David Beckham's tattoos" R&B TATTLED
Manya spit her wine refill out
II was mortified, as R&B translated it in French
The men and women laughed uproariously...
Ranjan smiled and shook his head
"I am goingt o the rest room" II vanished
Returned
"He married wild one" Romain said in awe
"Oh ya... thats me... not one calm bone in this body" she smirked, mock proud
When they said their goodbyes at close to 1 AM... Alex hugged II and said something in French that SOUNDED like Elize
II stared startled
And looked at R&B...
He did not translate
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He held her hand all the way home, gently nuzzling her neck as they waited for the train, Ranjan walked the platform talking to India
Manya texted and chuckled and texted
"Will u be mad if I ask something?" she asked
"If its money, them yes" he whispered on her neck, and yawned...
"U dont listen to anybody, u do ur own thing, do everything on ur own,
take trains to work, cook clean, do laundry... why cant u have someone do it da? how can a person" (not worry?) she stoppedShe gently
held his waist and let him lean on her
"I listen to u all the time" he mumbled on her neck
"Ya sure u do!" she mocked... "when u are naked and my legs are apart" she hissed, nipping his ear lobe
He groaned
And then laughed
They leaned on the wall, after he pulled back... waiting for the train
"I cant believ Paris is causing u to trash talk" he provoked
"If I start talking dirty, onnala inga nikkave mudiyadu (u cant even stand here) she whispered
"say something?" he said
"about what?"
"About what u wud like for me to do to you after we get home"
She noticed the word "home" came very easily to him here... he only said "Malcha Marg", or "2nd floor" "Or the balcony" when he referred Savvy's home
"give me a foot rub and massage my scalp with essential oils and make love to me on a bed of rose petals" she said calmly, albeit gasping for breath
"thats not dirty" he scowled
"Do it and then u will hear dirty"
"well we have company" he said carelessly like he wont do it
The train came, he dragged her like a child as she stood sulking
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ranjan went straight to bed after changing II brought many pieces of bedding and pillows and sheets for Manya
she was on the phone now...
"Do u need hot chocolate, I am making some" she offered
Manny put her call on hold... a tequila or scotch? yes... hot chocolate? NOOO, Nandu ko do" she giggled
R&B got off at 7th Arr... to buy more beer he said
She change dinto her kaftan and lay down to sleep only to be woken up by something warm being poured on her head, she turned moaning, savoring the feel
She opened her eyes
Rakshasan was massaging her scalp
