Marry Me

Meeting

it's been a week since then ... 

since I saw his picture in my dad's file and I still can't believe it .... am I really gonna marry him?? 

I did keep tabs on him after school ended . he was my best friend's friend .... but eventually I forgot about him and the small crush I had on him...

 ok maybe it was a huge crush... but I couldn't do anything about it .. he already had a girlfriend and I was really shy back then >_<

anyways... it was Sunday and I was gonna meet him today and I was completely freaked out!! for about a week I  was only thinking about what I'll say to him and I decided ... I'll be me, the rude me my family and friends know and are used to. after all, I know someone is forcing him to do this ...cuz the last time I checked he was with his girlfriend ( it was yesterday) .........

so I got ready... I wore my black crop hoodie, black jeans, my white converse and left my hair open. 

                                                                             something like this ^-^

I got into my car and drove up to the cafe where we were supposed to meet ...

I reached about 10 minutes late but I still couldn't find him there. maybe he was late ....... I sat at a table for 2 in the corner of the cafe and ordered soda ( i hate coffee and tea -_-). 

 'maybe he forgot or maybe got caught up in traffic ... I mean Mumbai traffic is bad ' i thought to myself  'or maybe he came here on time and I wasn't here so he left ?' 

I waited there for half an hour and was about to leave when I saw someone approach my table. when I looked up, I saw him coming over and I don't know why but my heart started beating fastly just like it did when I was in school. I had this overwhelming desire to run away from there but, I kept my composure ............. I had to talk to him.

he sat down and I stared at him........I saw huge glasses covering his black eyes ... his black hair was messy he was quite tall about 6'9 ...he was wearing formal clothes as if he was going to meet my dad. although, it would've been funny if dad were here ^-^

                                                                           something like this ^-^

"bold" - I'm speaking 

" italics" - I'm thinking

" underline" - Sohit is speaking 

I gave him an annoyed look and was waiting for him to say something .... he saw my look and said " you know Mumbai traffic don't you " ' ah! that cliche excuse huh? fine ' " yes .... so....." I started  " you know we are getting married right ?" I asked 'great! I'm dumb obviously he knows!!!' he chuckled " yes that's why I came to meet you here right?" ' see? now he feels I'm dumb oh just perfect'  "so you have any girlfriends?" I got serious  ", no but our school friends think I have " ' great he knows that I was keeping tabs on him with Aayushi's help ughhhh'

" well can you tell me why they think you have a girlfriend" " cuz I don't want them to think this is an arranged marriage for business" I raised my brow  "c'mon .. you think I don't know why we are getting married? your dad wants me to be tied to his company... not that I mind it " " well you sure aren't as dense as you were in school I guess " "huh?" " so tell me .. why are you ok with marrying me huh? " " well you've surely become more confident than when you were in school... you were so shy... I still remember it .. u couldn't even talk without stuttering " "well time and experience do change people.." " yeah" " but that isn't the answer to my question you know" " well my parents wanted me to marry someone influential and since I don't have a girlfriend, I didn't have any reason to say no" " and since you weren't ambitious, knew me beforehand and knew that I wasn't connected my dad's company, u suggested to marry me right? I bet your parents don't even know I'm not connected to the company ..." I cut him.

he gave me a surprised look and said " precisely ..... so do you have any boyfriends?" he asked  "I would've been married by now if I did ya know... but I do have fwbs "I was open and bold ' yes .. go on pari be bold this is right '  " well you are pretty straight aren't you ?" " yes .. and I want to keep it this way ... and by your reaction, I guess that you also have some flings right?" " yes"

 " ok..so now the most important part ... I want to take this marriage seriously I'm not interested in a platonic marriage by any chance and I want to make it work ..... " I said seriously. he also became serious after what I just said... an expression I had only seen on him during our 10th boards 

" I'm not sure if u even want to marry me or not but I assure you that I am completely serious about this shit... this is a decision that will hugely affect both of our lives...... I'm not a perfect girl and I will definitely not help you with any office work including asking my dad for favours.... I have many bad habits, I swear, I drink, I sleep around with many and my house is a huge mess .... I'm an introvert and except for my work I rarely leave my house....I'm lazy and I'm a weeb also I have 2 side jobs ........... I always submit my assignments at the last minute and I hate it when people tell me to do something so I wanna ask you

 do you really want to marry me and live the rest of your life with me?" I ended the big speech 

I looked at him and he seemed deep in thought ' good pari...if he backs out now, there won't be a big prob.... you can always end up not marrying anyone' 

then he spoke up " when I came here I honestly felt that you were not interested and wanted me to break off the engagement.....but by the speech you just gave, I think that I have to say this -

I'm not your perfect boy either, I'm always busy with my work and when I'm not, you can always find me in a club making out somewhere with someone.... I go to my house only at night to sleep ....  my parents have no idea I drink... I am marrying you for your money since I have no feelings towards you and to be perfectly honest I'm not interested in a platonic marriage either ...but, I do want my own freedom before marriage...." he finished 

"so you are saying to keep exploring before marriage right?" " yeah" " ok ... but I do want your taste once before we do get married ..." I said very happy with how open our conversation had become. " me too.... I have to agree you have grown up and become quite attractive " he smirked and I nodded  " well since your condition has been met up with... I also have a condition..." I said smirking " and that is?" he questioned nervously  "I want to stay in a live-in for at least 6 months before getting married" I finished and he grinned " well I do want to know how you are in the house," he said 

 it was enough for me to understand that he did in fact want to marry me ^-^
