:::Chapter 17::Secret Lovers:::
Almost 3 months had passed since Abhay had accepted Pia into his life. It was all kept under wraps for the sake of his children. Not to mention the grave danger Pia was in with dark forces coming for her. It was best under the circumstances to fool everyone with their haughty behaviour in public display not that it didn't come naturally to Pia. Abhay was still getting his head round on having another woman in his life after a long time. He knew he could never fool the old lady,Grams saw through them,there was nothing that went passed her, he often caught the playful glint in her eyes.
For the first time in months he had the house to himself. With his kids out of the way, (They were all out on a College induction trip meeting other students for a tour) meant he could plan a romanticnight in with Pia.Grams was at her friends place for poker night. Abhay had hopedPia wouldlove this night in, why was he feeling so nervous he thought? It was only Pia. He had now forgotten what it was like not to hate the girl who'd reminded him of the love of his life. It was onething acceptingher intohis life but another thing to seperate the two women. The similarities were uncanny but their spirits had baffled him. He shook the niggling doubt beginning to forming his head due to the time he'd spent with Pia in the short space of 3 months.
Pia was excited about her date with Abhay. Keeping their relationship a secret from her best friend and from her family was difficult but for Abhay she was willing to go to any lengths. It made her enjoy her time with Abhay more without the added pressure of everyone's expectations. Pia knew at some point the others would find out but for now she was living her dream. Pia decided to make Abhay really take noticeof her in her white dress leaving little to the imagination.It should have Abhay'smind racing.
Pia was with her Grams to drop her off for poker night. Unfortunately this meant she had to stay for a little while with the old folks. Grams gave Pia the once over.
Grams sounding a little jovial-I guessU have a hot date huh? Try to look a little less bummed to be with the old lady. Your freeto go now. And try not to fry the guy you're dating. U still haven't told me if this guy is even alive or dead with all this secrecy surrounding him.
Pia gave a coy look-Grams.This is not open to discussion. When the time is right you'll get to meet him.
Grams mused-If i live that long. Some people don't have all the time in the world U know. U know U have my blessing whoever he is. I know my princess will only want the best for herself.
Pia gave a proud smile back-U know me too well. Now Don't get into any funny business with U know who? (Gives her a wink) I don't think he can handle it at his age.
Grams gave a hearty smile back-U better leave before i permanently keep U here for that comment. If anything it should be me who should be telling U to take it slow. (Plants a kiss on Pia's cheek) Its good to see U so happy my child. Now go.
Pia on her way over to Abhay's place. He had taken his brood into a bigger mansion. It was very chilly outside. Pia kept trying to keep warm by hugging her body to generate some heat. Her hair was no longer the way she'd worn it. Talk about making a good impression. It was getting dark now. The street lights were only just lighting up the side walk. Pia was almost certain she could hear her heart skipping a few beats. Just another step to go and she'd be in the arms of her beloved hunky, drop dead gorgeous vampire lover. Butterflies in her tummy made her feel almost too nervous.
Pia gathered all of her bearings only to sense something was awry. There was another witch in Abhay's home, Diana alone with him. Pia crept slowly to see what they were doing, spying on them. Curiosity got the better of her . Diana was hugging him. Abhay was dead. He was so very dead. He was stroking her back in a circular motion with concern in his eyes. Those very eyes stole her breath were now gazing into another woman's eyes ok girls eyes with love. Pia felt the rage within her build up. If only she had the powers to listen in on their conversation. Then logic overtook Pia, she cast a spell to eavesdrop on their conversation. Diana sounded in good spirits like she had all of her problems solved. So there was some kind of a meeting to be held in secret between Diana and Abhay. How dare they??? Pia saw Abhay lean in for a kiss and that was when she'd decided she'd seen enough.
Abhay gave out a very amused smirk with his eyes showing a playful side Pia so wished to wipe out-I...can...
Pia was in no mood for explanations giving them her most angry look almost screaming at the two guilty faces staring back at her-Don't bother. I have seen enough. How long has this been going on for?
Abhay tried again-Its not what U think!!!!!! Pia...
Pia fumed back-Yeah right! So the candles, the glass of bubbly, the embrace i saw all a lie, the kiss...
Abhay loved it when Pia got angry. Her face just radiated with love for him-U have the wrong end of the stick we were just...
Pia twitched her nose sounding like a wounded tigress, her eyes were now showing a fiery colour-Eyes can never deceive Abhay. I knew it was all too good to be true. U said U didn't want anything heavy then what the f**k is this. U and Diana. I hate U both. Do the others know?
Diana was confused-Pia there is nothing...
Pia flashed Diana her eyes now in an ember colour-Save it witch. (Pia walked towards Diana and started to choke her a little with her powers smiling at Abhay) Don't worry she won't die yet.
Abhay was bemused by the sudden change in Pia's attitude taking a turn towards the dark side-Pia!!! Just chill.
Pia showered her with an icy blast-This cold enough for U?
Diana started to shiver with her teeth chattering-Pppiiaa. What's...got...
Pia gave a devilish grin-Whats the matter Diana? I'm only taking a leaf out of your book.
Abhay blasted Pia with his disapproving eyes-Pia leave her alone. Now!!!!!! Diana's received a threatening message marked with the sign.
Diana felt Pia'd grip loosen gaining the colour back again-We've been marked and my guess is this is to do with the group.
Pia gave no indication of any fear in her eyes nor regret for hurting Diana-U mean to say the real target is me. Let them come. I am more than ready for them now. U can go now.
Diana tried to explain again-Pia this involves all of us. I know we got off on the wrong foot.
Pia muttered in retaliation-No, what U really want from me is protection.
Diana sighed out deeply pausing then blurting out-We aren't as powerful as U nor are we protected by anyone. We need...
Pia smirked back gloating-Our help.
Abhay saw the ice queen mask fade slowly with a sympathetic approach holding Pia's shoulders now-Stop trying to pretend this doesn't affect U. Now we need to sit back and...
Diana surmised carefully-I'll leave U guys to get on with whatever. Don't worry about any of this i can keep my mouth shut.
Abhay gave Diana an appreciative glance-Thanks. If there is any trouble do not hesitate to call us ok.
Diana nodded before heading out leaving Pia with Abhay.
Abhay folded his arms now, observing Pia's state of being clearing his throat-What was that about?
Pia made no apologetic gestures confidently responded back-I saw U two getting into each others personal space and then the kiss.
Abhay remained stoic in a serious tone-U mean the peck on the cheek. It was just a friendly...
Pia coldly spat back-Oh don't give me friendly anything. Diana's had her claws out for ages. I can't bear the thought of any woman holding claim over U. I hate that Annie, Diana and the rest of them hover around U.
Abhay felt the emotional outburst going right through him. Pia overwhelmed him was an understatement-I get how possessive U are of me but the feelings mutual. I hate it when i have to share U with all your friends. Did i mention how sexy U look when your angry.
Pia let out a smile softening up-No!
Abhay took Pia in his arms now coaxing her with his husky voice-U are out to kill a dead man in this dress Pia. (Gently brushes his lips to Pia's naked shoulders, slowly trailing them to her neck making her moan) I could almost give supper a miss and get right down to...(Listens to Pia inhale deeply sucking in the air. Now this is one dead cert he was smirking at the effects he had on her making her face him now) Now (Sounding a little cross) U blew our cover.
Pia let out an innocent laugh-Its not my fault i saw U with her and it made my blood boil. Plus i'm hungry. I love U Abhay. More than i let on. I doubt you'll ever know the true depths of whats in my heart.
Abhay kissed Pia's lips. He didn't need to know the true depths because when Pia emoted it hit him hard as if they were one being-I don't know how many times i need to convince U i'm always going to be with U Pia. Always. I wanted to keep us a secret so we could discover ourselves without any outside interference. U know how my kids are with all of their expectations at an all time high. Now U better stop staring at me with those seductive eyes. I might not be warm blooded but U could set me on fire if U continue to give me bedroom eyes.
Pia blushed averting her eyes now-I'm sorry. I know if Diana loves her life she won't spill.
Abhay with a stern look-U ought to cut her some slack. I get it. U both don't like each other but U don't want to make any more enemies Pia. She's on our side.
Pia huffed back-Nobody is on anybodies side.
Abhay agreed to disagree unwilling to spoil the night. Pia could be so stubborn-Now i hope you've got a big appetite i have sort of gone a little over the top with the food.
Before Pia knew it all the candles were lit, the light was off and supper was served. The prawn Cocktail was exquisite along with the Caesar Salad while the Venison was tenderly cooked in red wine.
Pia saw the way Abhay was watching her chow down the meat-I wish i could keep complimenting the way U cook baby it is just out of this world. I wish i could cook like this. How do U get it so perfect? U don't even get to...(Realised she had just..)
Abhay smirked back in pride-Its easy. U don't need to taste your food just to know how good it is. Sometimes its the smell, the look and shall i say i have a photographic memory and all the ingredients are already in my head all memorized so i can never get it wrong, right down to dessert.
Pia felt Abhay grab her out of her chair and through to living room. They both sat together on the couch holding their hands clasped together with Abhay nuzzling Pia's neck making her groan. Abhay fed her some chocolate mousse enjoying the way she'd cleaned up all so seductively. He rasped finding it hard not to get hot under the collar-Pia!!!!!
Pia let out a flirtatious wink-Hey i can't help it if I turn U on so easily.
Abhay pretended to bite Pia's neck making growling noises-What am i going to do with U. (Tickles her stomach)
Pia let out a hysterical laugh submitting-Abhay don't, i can't take it. I've just eaten.
Abhay lets go softly kissing her back-This feels so good.
Pia brightly beamed back agreeing with Abhay-I know. (Now wrapping his arms around her waist watching the fire burn)
Meanwhile at the trip the Hybrids all spend sometime enjoying the nightlife at UCLA. Pooja was with Jeet enjoying this alone time free from all the Raichand brood to intrude in on their romantic night. Jeet had purposely left the troops to just watch the stars with Pooja. Pooja squeezed Jeets hand lighting up.
Pooja finally spoke-I used to do this all the time with Mum. Its good to share this with U.
Jeet admitted it was good to finally get to this place-I know how intense its been. I can't wait to go to College. To start a new chapter here with U.
Pooja wound up now more closer to Jeet-Its a little scary though. Getting away from my old life. I'm just glad i have U here with me. It doesn't feel like i'm on my own. To be honest i think it would be fun to have your family here. Life would never be dull around here.
Jeet let out a sarcastic laugh-Be careful for what U ask for Pooji. Do U even know how insane my siblings are? We'd never get a moments rest with one or the other wanting to be the third whell.
Pooja knew what Jeet meant-I know Jeet but i've grown to love them all. So have U picked out a major yet?
Jeet still undecided about this-I've been so focussed on Mum i haven't even thought about what i really want to do. I'll figure it out and U?
Pooja wanted to study art-Oh you'll find out soon enough. We still have a few more weeks to go but i've submitted 3 courses. U know what? This night has given me hope. Hope of a better future with U in this city. I am hoping it will help U get in touch with a side i so desperately want to see.
Jeet shrugged his shoulders-I don't know if U really want to see my party tricks. We'd get kicked out of any clubs out there. We aren't even supposed to be ...
Pooja laughed-Fake ID'S.
Jeet gave Pooja the oh no U don't look making Pooja let out a giggle.
Prem found he was again in Urvi's bad books for separating her from the wiccan coven. Could he for once get anything right with this demanding girl. How did he wind up falling for such a dangerous girl. The amounts of fights they'd gotten into over the past 3 months like they were some old couple. Prem loved Urvi's spark, her spirit and in reality woundn't trade her for the world. He found her quite interesting.
Urvi wanted to go for a spot of thrill seeking. They'd already separated from the others. Urvi for the first time felt sort of vulnerable without the safety net of having a crowd around her. She didn't trust herself around Prem. The Romeo of the pack.
