Rice and Pudding
The thought of us together was impossible. I had Anya and she had Blue, and then Declan. Her and Declan they were perfect like peanut butter and jelly. The Degrassi power couple after Peter and Mia broke up. Us, we're rice and pudding two things that don't belong together. We are just fun.
After graduation she would go to Yale, marry Declan, and have the perfect life. I would become an engineer, marry Farah, and inflect Indian traditions on my kids. We just weren't meant to be.
Declan. What if he came and took his jelly back? That would end the fun for me. Some people hate PB and J right? Some people like rice and pudding right? Who am I kidding she'll go back to her peanut butter. I had to go see her and spend as much time with her as possible before that.
I walked into her job and saw her with a table. She saw me and gave me a surprise look which turned into a smile. I walked to our normal table and sat down she joined me a while later.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
"What kind of a world do we live in when a boyfriend can't come to see his girlfriend." I joked. I was about to lean in for a kiss when an Indian girl came and said, "Here's you Kheer Holly J." I looked at the "Kheer" it was most likely and Indian dessert but it wasn't familiar. "What is it?" I asked eying the kheer
" That's Anita she gave me this a week ago and I've been begging her for more. It's like a mix of rice and pudding. I'm surprised you've never heard of it; it's Indian." She likes rice and pudding. She likes rice and pudding.
"My dad was probably allergic or something. Mom barely makes any Indian pastries" She nodded. "This might sound strange", I started, " but do you like PB and J." "No, worst combination ever." She grabbed a spoon and dug into her Kheer. A little bit was on the corner of her mouth and then I kissed her. I had a taste of Kheer and it was perfection. Just like we could be.
