Part 99 R--- 8
Beacon Hill
7:14 PM
She has stepped out of the shower, towelling herself dry as she thinks about his "reward" and smiles.
Shakes her head, her feet were achy and sore, her wrist was sore too, but it felt like being in college again. She forgot she was married and now lived with him.
She wished she was a student, and she had known him at Grad school, would he have even looked at her?
Her smile slowly disappears from her face
To be replaced by a feeling of excitement, discovery, possibilities of slowling finding out more about him.
He was playing along, being super indulgent
Kind, patient, flirty and naughty
She wondered how she was imagining a life without him. "If I had said to no and had argued with Aada, Aada would have eventually relented, but she wouldhave never known Shantanu"
He had driven her to Chestnut Hill and she had returned almost all the clothing, he was very disappointed but knew not to push it.
Insisted she buy an evening gown for dinner tonite, she tried over a half a dozen on, since she is considered "petite" in the US, there werent too many choices
She fell in love with a Nautical blue Marc Jacobs gown , a statuesque strapless dress rendered from matte jersey, with a hint of stretch, had a straight skirt for that sleek sophisticated style,zip was concealed under the folds on her right rib.
The size and the fitting was just perfect, she was too nervous to model it for him so changed into her ratty sweaty capris, the personal shopper helped her find shoes and a purse to go with it.
He was on the phone when she stepped out seeing her empty hands he wondered if she changed her mind, but she smiled and moved to the side to reveal the lady behind her holding the three things, the dress was in a opaque bag zipped up!
He gets himself a formal shirt and trousers and shoes to match
She wore her dress, and wore a little make up, the kohl, lip gloss, and some Dior perfume, and picked up most of her moist hair and twisted it into a knot and clipped it on the back of her head, slowly lock after lock started to escape, leaving her looking stunningly beautiful
The front doorbell rings
She wonders who it could be.
It is persistent!
She steps down holding her flowing gown
Looks at the living room, he is on the phone, and on the PC
Khanak: There is someone at the door. Kya kar rahe hain aap? TV ka volume kam kariye (pleads)
Opens the door to find a delivery guy
Man: Good evening, are you the lady of the house?
Her heart skips a beat when she realizes she indeed is, she nods, and smiles
Khanak: Hi!
Man: Here you go!
Handing her the most GORGEOUS two dozen red roses she has ever seen, in a vase, tied with a huge red bow.
Khanak: For me? (surprised)
Man smiles proffering her an electronic receipt pad, she signs, he takes off,
She looks for a note, finds it and the color travels from the flowers to her skin😳😳😳😳😳 on finding the familiar moniker
To :Khanak
From Shantanu!
