A Chance

Rosie POV

Rishi joined me on the dancefloor, I was dancing with all the women and he was dancing with the boys. He grabbed my hand and we danced together.

Everyone gave us sugan blessing us and he seemed happier but he had a distant look in his eye.

“Have you eaten?” he shook his head

“Have you” I shook my head no

“Come on let’s eat” we sat down at our table and quickly ate some starters before one of our relatives pulled us away.

We went back on the dancefloor and danced for a bit longer.

“Cake time. Could all the family and the bride and groom gather on the dance floor please?” the DJ spoke.

Rishi and I stood next to the cake and I was so happy, it was exactly how I wanted it Molly and Josie did an amazing job. Rishi and I cut the cake he fed me a bit and I fed him a bit. The memory of him licking cake of my chest came flooding back. I cleared my throat and posed for some pictures.

The main meal was handed out and that’s when the real party began, I wasn’t drinking but Rishi was.

He was doing shots with his friends and us girls were watching them.

“Seriously this is what you’re in for. The man gets to have all the fun and the women have to drive home” my sister spoke.

“She’s right but that’s it now, your officially engaged no more escape” Ria laughed.

The song changed and I laughed how ironic.

Hor ni peeni (no more drinking)

Us girls stood on one side of the floor and Ria started dancing the boys looked at us and we were laughing. I joined Ria singing at Rishi

“Chargey oi hor ni peeni” (Your drunk, no more drinking)

We danced around the boys and Rishi grabbed my arm the song finished and I looked at the dj he was doing this on purpose.

Aaj me Peeni (I’m going to drink today) came on and I rolled my eyes. Rishi was dancing and singing at me and I was laughing my head off. Wow he was drunk.

“Let’s make this interesting shall we, girls vs boys Fitteh moo. Here we go”

We separated on the floor girls one side boys one side. Even our parents joined.

First it was me and Rishi, he was singing and dancing around me. I was shaking my hip watching him.

Now it was my turn, I danced moving my body to the beat, my hips swayed and Rishi was in a trance. We stepped back, and our parents had a go. They were dancing and laughing and it made me so happy to see them smile.

One by one everyone had a turn and the song finished.

Chabi (car key) came on and I laughed, Rishi sang to me and I rolled my eyes.

(Grab the car key, I’m drunk) which was exactly what the girls just said.

The rest of the night continued with us dancing and drinking, most of the guest had gone just the younger people were left. Rishi my cousins and his cousins and his friends were drinking and playing spin the bottle and we girls were dancing.

Ik gal (one word) came on and the boys got up and came over, they started dancing and Rishi was totally drunk. He had a bottle and was walking around me in circles. I was swaying my hips and he laughed. All the boys were drunk.

Seeti Maar Ke (whistle) came on and I was shaking my hip dancing with my sister and sister in laws

The boys were trying to whistle and we burst out laughing.

Last song was Main Hogaya Sharabbi (I’m drunk don’t give me any more) we danced to the last song and waited till everyone left.

Our parents had taken all the sugan and gifts home, so I didn’t have to worry about that. I grabbed my purse and the car keys Rishi gave me in the song and walked over to him.

“I’m drunk” he mumbled

“I know. Come on let’s go home” I smiled helping him up. He leaned into me and kissed me softly.

“Home, our home. I like the sound of that” he slurred, he nuzzled into my neck and kissed me again.

“Come on babe, get in the car” I opened the door and he sat down. I got in the car handing him my heels, there was no way I was driving in them. I started the car and he looked at me.

“Please be careful I love this car” I rolled my eyes

“You let me drive the I8”

“I know because I trust you” his words melted my heart a little bit and I smiled.

“I trust you to” I kissed him and started driving. We made it to the house and I parked the car in the drive.

I got out and walked over to his side, I pulled open the door and he stepped out wobbling a little.

“Whoa there big guy” I steadied him and we walked up the steps. I opened the door and we walked inside. I took him straight upstairs and he collapsed on the bed.

I pulled off his shoes and took off his tie, “Come on babe” he sat up putting his head on my stomach. I was standing up between his legs. I unbuttoned his shirt and pushed it off his shoulders. He shrugged it off and hugged me.

“I missed you” he mumbled into my tummy. I stepped away and he stood up he undid his pants and took them off. He was standing in front of me in just some boxers.

“My turn, help me get this thing off” it was starting to itch. He undid the string on my back and unhooked my top. I pulled it off revealing my pink bra and his eyes went wide.

I pulled the zip of my skirt down and it fell to the floor. I stepped out of it, grabbing one of Rishi’s t-shirts. I put it on and he pouted.

“I wanted to look at you” I picked up my clothes and folded them putting them on the side. He was pouting at me and I smiled.

“You have your whole life to look at me, now were officially engaged” I lay down in bed and he lay down next to me. His hand ran down my arm, the bangles I had on chiming, he looked at them confused. “Get used to it I have to keep them on till the wedding and then after the wedding I have to keep my Chura on for at least 6 months unless I get pregnant”

“Pregnant?” he averted his eyes and I looked at him confused.

“You don’t want kids” I spoke quietly.

“NO I want kids I love kids, just not that soon. I want to travel with you live our lives for at least a year before we have kids”

“Me too that’s exactly what I want” I smiled kissing him. “Now let’s sleep, we have to go to your parents’ house tomorrow to finalise all the wedding stuff” I turned over so my back was against his chest.

“Goodnight Rosie” he whispered

“Goodnight Rishi”
