New Horizon to Pluto
"HEY" she said mimicking him to get rid of her nervousness, placed her phone a lil too quickly by the glass
of fuzzy navel and sent it flying to the ground... the area where the kids played a few weeks ago. She watched it in horror as it crashed and shattered
"Ayyoyo" she whispered he was standing by her looking down
She turned to go down and tell someone not to walk barefeet by the side of the house, and clean it up quickly
He was texting.. "I just took care of it" he said softly
"I am sorry" she muttered at the unexpected snafu
"U cud pay me when u get the next paycheck" he said silkily
She realized he was still angry
She thought about what she just said
OH? THE APOLOGY FOR THE GLASS?
OH? UMM.. I...
"I have enough I can pay you NOW" she shot back, NEVER the one to maturely let go... atleast when it came to matters involving Rakshasan
The motion sensor lights went on, she saw a guy cleaning up...
They both were quiet...
She looked at the huge spread under the umbrella the coffee bean color rattan sofa, and the tropical print cushions and the fine china sat in wait
The candles had blown out...
The breeze picked up speed
She counted to 10 10 times... letting go of her urge to fight
"U werent home all day?" she asked
He shook his head looking up from his phone
OH? SO U YOU WONT TELL ME WHERE YOU WERE
OFCOURSE NOT
WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW
I TEXTED U FROM MUNIRKA
FROM D II
"Gussa ho?" she asked again, unable to control the quiver in her voice
He tucked the phone in his pocket and turned and stood in front, as she leaned on the periphery wall
His arms folded across his chest, he wore cargos and a burnt copper color cotton tee with no collar
She was dressed for a "date night"
"Can I get u something to drink?" she asked politely
He didnt respond, she brought him a iced beer mug from the cooler and a bottle, handing it to him, he noticed a red welt on her arm
He followed her to the seating area and sat down by her
"what did u do your hand?" he asked
She was happy he atleast spoke
"Engey?" she asked
He felt the scar with his thumb
"Oh! oil spill I was making bread pakora for Shravu" she smiled trying to pull her arm away
she wasnt wearing her choora tonight.. her smooth arms were completely bare
"what were you drinking?" he asked
"Oh!... fuzzy navel... made it so bad" she chuckled, and checked the rest of her thoughts
MADE IT SO BAD IT DIVED TO ITS DEATH
AYYYO!!!!
DONT SAY THAT
DONT EVER SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT
IT WILL BRING BACK MEMORIES OF HOW MA WENT
HOW AWFUL
PAAVAM KOZHANDAI
A flood of compassion bubbled up inside, frothing
"Saapadlama?" (should we eat?)
He nodded
she lit the candle again, it took for ever, he cupped his hands around the first one and then the second one
"I shud have used the battery operated ones" she smiled
The air was moist and breezy... fresh smelling like freshly watered dirt and grass...
the jasmine vines on the side of the house threw scent up to the sky gods
She fished out aloo first for him and her
"He has a bunch of your faves too" she said
She painstakingly served all the chutneys and yogurt
The stuffed bread was out of this world good
She ate hers quietly
She was a strange combination of,
Recklessness and caution; innocence and trickery; boldness and shyness, chirpiness and reserved behavior
she didnt talk much tonight... like she just wanted to leave things as is
she didnt tell him about visit to Munirka or DII, or ask him about his day, didnt have a million questions
"which one do u want next?" she smiled
Her hand over the lid of the plugged in container
"I say paneer" she guessed
"I am going to say cauliflower" he played along
It was PANEER...
"I know my paneer" she muttered
He half smiled
The candles blew out in the next gust
They ate in the dark... wasnt too bad... the street lights in Chanakyapuri was powerful and bright
It felt like the house was surrounded by light, except in the front where the Delhi ridge
was a mooody luscious mixture of purple and black ink
He wiped sour cream off her chin, she quickly wiped it off with a napkin
and ate self consciously feeling her chin multiple times afterwards
"there is vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce" she lifted the lid of a tiny crockpot to show him bubbling choc sauce
"I am going to pass" he smiled
"Vendama?" she asked dejected
"I will watch u eat" he promised
to her ears it sounded like
I WILL POUR THE SAUCE ON YOU
AND DEVOUR YOU
she dropped the lid on the sauce nervously, as it clattered down
A strange thrill, snaked up from her toes through her insides rushing through every crevice and valley... as she imagined his eyes watching her
She quit eating after 1.5 paratha
And served herself,
I HAVE TO TEST IT NOW
I WANT TO WATCH HIM LOOK AT ME
SORRY MAHAVIR
I PROMISE TO EAT LEFT OVERS FOR BREAKFAST
I WANT TO BE RAKSHASAN'S OBJECT OF LUST
UMM... YAA... YEP
He watched her serves herself GOBS of solid vanilla ice cream,
she poured two generous scoops of sizzling choc, watched the ice cream run for cover...
She dug her spoon and bend down, then realized she had to "exhibit herself" she leaned back and licked the mound on the spoon
He quit eating leaned back wiping his hand off on the napkin
and WATCHED
she HOPED she looked like the leads of a B grade flick
IT DOESNT MATTER ALRIGHT
I AM NEVER GOING TO TELL AMMA I DID THIS THIS
AKKA?
MAYBE... MAYBE NOT
BUT AMMA?
NEVER
I WANT TO WATCH HIM LOOK AT ME LIKE HE WANTS ME
IS THAT TOO BAD?
she took a good two minutes to wipe every bit of the spoon she reached for the second one, her eyes smoldering
And she asked
"Do u want some ?"
AYYYO!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT IF HE DOES
YESSS
I MEANT THE ICE CREAM
I MEANT THE ICE CREAM TOO
SO SHUT UP
She held it too long
HE IS THINKING ABOUT IT LIKE ASSESSING THE VALUE OF SEMI CONDUCTOR STOCKS
HMMM... CYCLICAL NATURE OF BUSINESS, ADDING CHIP FRABRICATION CAPACITY INCREASES COST PER GIGABIT,
CAPITAL OUTLAY VS EVER INCREASING COMPLEXITY OF THE CHIP
RAKSHASAN
IN YOUR BOOKS EROTICA = COMPLICATED MATH ALGORITHM
When he made up his mind and shifted
It had falled on her cleft, frozen, melty gooey and warm, umm ya... in that order...
solid vanilla core, melty vanilla ice cream blended with syrup, and the warm edge of the just choc syrup by itself
She almost jumped out of the sofa
He bend over pushing her down and ate it off her cleft and dress..
She lay under the stars, as his hands and mouth took her on the trip to the outerworld
Earth spun first, and the galaxies spun... and she rode the New Horizons to Pluto
She lay weak and trembling, shaking on the tropical patterned cushions her arms stretched far back griping the arm rest of the rattan sofa
She felt his bristly chin all over her now soaked but "clean" chest, in places where there was no trace of ice cream,
his previously "working" hand now just cupping... stroking her moist core, soothing calming relaxing... as she floated back back to earth
"Pretty good, II" he whispered on her, laying completely, his damp forehead resting on hers
IF I DONT BREATHE I AM GOING TO DIE
RAKSHASAN!! she cursed out loud and exhaled and he heard the whimper
