Shopping with His Highness
Never ever did she realize that when she agreed to shop with him, what kind of mess did she put herself into! A very severe mess that was! Now after almost spending half of the day shopping with him, she was cursing him and herself again and again for agreeing to his shopping proposal. She never thought that he would get into her nerves so much for their marriage shopping. From morning to now she was just red partly due to her anger towards his highness and partly due to blush that was also caused by his highness!
She was Ms. Aarti Dubey (Cherry) and he was Mr. Yash Sindhiya (Cherry). People around them often got confused by the same nicknames but soon learnt that this nickname only they could call each other with and nobody else should use this including their family members. This story of Cherries started long back from the time of their birth.
Their Fathers are best of friends and business partners. Their family are neighbors and both are sole child to their parents. When Yash was two years old, he came to know that his choti Ma (Mrs. Dubey) was going to give him a little living toy very soon and from that day his bonding started with the baby . When little Aarti was finally born, it was Yash who first saw her and as soon as he went to the cot the baby hold his hand. From that day a relation was born, relation of friendship, relationship of possessiveness,relation of guardian angel, relation of love and longing and relation of eternity.
Yash was the one who was the support when Aarti first started walking. Yash gave her the nickname Cherry and always used to call her Cherry,and Cherry was the first word she spoke . From that day both called each other cherry but would not allow anyone else to use the name. They were very possessive of each other and protective at the same time. Yash had a record of beating school boys only because they tried talking to his Cherry. Aarti had a record of pouring water/spoiling dresses of number of girls only because they tried to get close to her Cherry. But it was not that they only fought with others for each other but they fought a lot with each other as well for silly reasons. But if somebody would try to come between to solve their differences they would unite and fight against that person. So very soon their classmates, common friends, their parents realized that it was best for them not to interfere between them ever.
With time they grew up only to become more close to each other. They never really felt the need to express their feeling as they knew that they were made for each other and they had full right to each other. And their love was very much visible to others including their parents and when their parents proposed their marriage, both got esthetic and agreed .
Their marriage date was fixed after two moths from now and their parents have already started preparation. But when the topic of marriage shopping came, their friends parents and relatives kept themselves away as they were aware of potential risk. And it did not affect both the Cherries as they both were enough to do the shopping. In this situation Mr. Cherry suggested that for her shopping Aarti has to agree with his choice and for his shopping he would agree to her choice and Ms. Cherry readily agreed not really knowing what she was agreeing to.
First they decided to do his shopping which they did yesterday. it went smooth whatever she chose he agreed from his Sherwanii to watch to suite to shoes etc. And as planned today they started her shopping. First they went for her wedding dress shopping that they finalized smoothly. She always liked his choice and vice versa. After that they went for her jewelry shopping that too they finished after little argument as he wanted diamond jewelry and she wanted traditional golden jewelry. finally they bought both. then he dragged her to Victoria's Secret shop for lingerie shopping the most important one in his words. And from then her ordeal started.
She initially thought he would not interfere and would allow her to do the shopping. But she was wrong, very wrong. As soon as they entered lingerie shop, he took complete charge of it. He asked for all the recent styles of her size,from the sales girl. He was checking the design, the material, the style all in detail. Aarti always knew that Yash was very particular about her lingerie/inner wear. Whereas she was never choosey about it and would use the normal simple ones. All the times they have made out and got intimate, he always expressed his wish to see her in different set of lingerie or some new style. For him only, she did some research and decided to buy some stylish ones but she never knew he would do it himself. After he finalized some designs, he asked her about the color and if she would like to buy some other types. His constant over expressiveness , giggles of sales girls, and some teasing gazes from other female customers embarrassed Aarti to the core. She was complete red with blush, shyness, anger, embarrassment and she would have escaped from there if Yash's strong grip on her waist was not there. He knew she would try to escape and that was the reason he hold her. If it was not enough, his highness was touching each piece so sensuously with a teasing gaze towards her as if he was touching her. All hell broke when he asked the sales girl if they had some designs with Cherries printed on it. Aarti wanted earth to swallow her at that moment. Finally to her relief they finalized all the piece and finished that shopping. She was not sure how many he bought and it had all from sexy negligee to teddy to two piece bikini to single piece and so on. As soon as he went to pay the bill and she escaped from their and went to the food court with the shopping bags.
From then she was sitting in food court may be for 10 minutes and thinking about how she got herself trapped with his highness. Her trance broke with the voice of his highness.
Cherry, see your favorite chocolate ice-cream now cheer up. dont be upset Come on it is our wedding shopping'
oh his highness knows that i am upset. i am so lucky!!'- said and angry Aarti
Cherry dont be so hard on me. i am still not sure why you got angry'
you embarrassed me to death at that shop and you have the audacity to tell me that you are not sure of the reason!'
Cherry that is the fact i am not sure of. what is there to get embarrassed or shy that too from me. we have practically seen each other naked from our childhood and we have seen almost all of each other in recent days. we are getting married so enjoy this phase please' - Yash put his point with his puppy look the one he knew would definitely melt her.
Aarti knew he was right and there were practically no secret between them but still she would not leave him easily so she remained silent.
ok i promise i will not bother you for the next set of shopping. by the way what is left?'
shoes and my makeup and cosmetics'
ok lets go and do it and i promise i will not bother you.' with that Mr. and soon to be Mrs. Cherry went to next phase of shopping.
And true to his promise he did not bother her and she was done with her shoes shopping. Now they were shopping her cosmetics and it was also going smooth. She had almost completed and only looking for some lipstick and lip balm. When the sales girl was showing her some flavors, Yash asked for all the flavors that they had.
As the sales girl went away to bring those Aarti enquired Cherry now what were you upto tell me? you promised that you would not bother me'
relax cherry i just asked for all the flavors'
why did you ask? i like only strawberry and chocolate'
i knew that but i want to taste all of it' and with that he stared at her lips clearly indicating about his intention.
And Aarti blushed deep red again and hid her smile. She was hopelessly in love with her cherry.
when the sales girl arrived, he asked her to pack all of these and with that they concluded their wedding shoppings.
After putting all the shopping bags securely in car, when they both got into the car, Aarti noticed Yash was holding one of the lip balm in his hand, mostly the fancy vanilla- the new flavor.
What are you doing with this'
i cannot wait to taste it and i certainly could not wait till our marriage'
with that, he grabbed her , put the lip balm on her lips and kissed her hard and thus giving a beautiful end to her eventful shopping day with his highness Mr. Cherry Yash Scindhiya.
