Chapter 11
*Please review. I need some advice/suggestion to know if I am going in the right direction with the story.
The girls and the women were trying on clothes in the huge foyer attached to one of the bedrooms upstairs. The bedroom, being the biggest in that floor was taken by Kokila, Abhi's Chachi/Aunt. One of the aunties were having a hard time fitting into her blouse and the other aunties shamelessly started laughing at her. Shanaya went and helped her pull her zipper up and soon afterwards gained her approval.
"Shanaya come and try your ones on," said Pinky. Shanaya walked over to the other side of the foyer where the young people were scattered.
"My god! All this for me? Why did he make me so many clothes? Some of them are not even wedding attire. Just casual party clothes too," said Shanaya shocked.
"Yeah, he sent some from his shop for you," said Arti, Pinky's friend. "Maybe he likes you so much that he wants you to walk for him."
"That would be nice," said Shanaya. Her thoughts began to wander. It must have been Abhi who asked him to do that. Abhi is trying to give her her old life back. He is so sweet. I really need to move out. I have been mooching off him. It's not right that I have been living on his dime this last couple weeks, even though my life might be in danger in the real world, away from his security. Someday I will need to go out and live on my own, so better sooner than later. And the goons must have forgotten about me by now. And Tata does like me. Maybe I could ask him for a modelling gig the next time I see him. Shanaya's thoughts then wandered on Abhi as she unmindfully unbuttoned her shirt. The girls were now in the other side of the foyer fighting over Pinky's phone to see photos and text messages of the groom to be, PP. Shanaya thought of how Abhi has been constantly supporting her throughout her journey since she has been reunited with him. Starting from Tanya's party, to saving her from the goons and then today from his aunt. Her mind dwelled on the kiss with him a few weeks before in the pool. It was her second kiss with him. The first time it was stopped abruptly by Varun walking in on them and then there was the guilt. The first kiss had nevertheless, opened gates of emotion that even she didn't know she had for anyone. It was something so pure. They both just wanted to be with each other but the situation didn't permit that. The kiss in the pool didn't carry any guilt, it was pure passion. She felt the difference between the school Abhi and the businessman Abhi. His muscular arms tightening around her waist. Yes it was very different. It felt like he wanted more and more. Shanaya too lost herself in that kiss. Shanaya noticed that the whole room was really quiet. Everyone had left. They had all gone off to the pool area. She heard footsteps coming towards the foyer. It was Abhi.
"Where is my phone charger, Pinky?" Abhi was saying loudly. He entered the foyer and then came to a dead stop. Shanaya was standing there in nothing but nude color bra and underwear.
