Shenanigans Of An Imp

chapter ten

This chapter is dedicated to an amazing, annoying and one of the few most important people in my life, @arorasakshi. If you hadn't said go ahead I wouldn't have been able to write as much as I have!! Words cannot grasp my love for you! Thank you for being the most amazing best friend a girl could ever want!! Oh and the image above is me telling you something ;) ok bye :*

He wasn't a curious person by nature mainly because few things piqued his interests. But his interest had been piqued by a dark haired, dark eyed minx. He wanted to know why despite having a rich husband, rich relatives she preferred staying in a cramped apartment that wasn't even in a posh suburb, why she dressed simply and why she was the way she was. He wanted answers and he wanted them now. But first he had to attend dinner with her family. Relatives were bearable at the most and when they were somebody else's well things would be complicated at best.

"No way I'm way better than you'd ever be!" Kim peevishly said glaring at one of her brothers. Her brother merely rolled his eyes at her and continued to eat sip his drink. She turned to her grandmother and said "Amma will you tell him something!" "You are a grown woman now Kimmy, you know better then why lower yourself to his level".

" my level Amma? She is a kid she doesn't even come into consideration!" Her brother said momentarily forgetting his drink. Their grandmother gave them a look that said it all. When everyone had seated themselves she started explaining the events that would happen " now Kimmy here had told us that you will be a part of the wedding celebrations happening in our house. But all of you are lucky because she is going to be a part of three different weddings. The first is my grandsons which is a south Indian one, the second is her sister in-laws brothers wedding which is a Muslim and the third is her cousin sister's wedding where she is the Maid of honor. So I believe you will be seeing the different cultural influx of our country."

" I know my family's size is intimidating but do not worry none of us bite nor are we uncouth so I assure you that the next ten days are going to be an eye opening experience. Now I would request all of you to be at ease and to enjoy this trip as much as you can. And yes if there is anything that we can do please let us know after all we can't let you question our hospitality!"  At which chuckles were heard around the table.

Her grandmother was right. It was apparent from the conversation around the table that everyone had become open to this new experience.

He saw his mother and one of the aunties talk about a new trend of wearing sarees. Ryan and Eve were talking excitedly to a couple who looked like they were first time parents and were reminiscing some cute anecdote about their respective children. Jonah too looked quite taken with one of Kim's cousin sister's. Knowing him he'd end up wooing her and end up breaking his own heart in the process.

"I think we better call it a night since it is almost midnight, I know many of you are already tired and some of you have duties to do" that part her grandfather pointedly looked at Kim and said to which she nodded her head in a obedient manner.

The mansion held fifty rooms and had been built by her great grandfather who had worked with the British when they had ruled over India. They managed to keep the house after independence only because both her great grandfather and grandfather worked for the Indian government. Having so many rooms ensured that each person had their own room.

Kim had her room on the third floor which over saw the gardens below. The girls had rooms on either side and they could enter each other's room without a problem as her room had two connecting doors which led into Samaira and Diya's room respectively.

RJ and Zee's room was next to Diya 's room, Jonah was next to Samaira, Carl was just opposite Kim's room and next to his room was his mother's. The whole house was packed with all her uncle's, aunt's and cousin's. Her own family would be arriving tomorrow and thinking about them brought a smile to her face.

A rude voice broke into her thoughts

" oh so you already are thinking about me? Convenient don't you think? Us being neighbors and all. Sneaking into each other's bed would be so much easier now" Carl said leaning against his door.

It took all of Kim's will power not to unscrew the bottle she was holding and throw its contents in his arrogant, good for nothing face. 

Not bothering with a reply she was about to enter her room when she felt herself spinning in the opposite direction.

"Rude much?" She whisper shouted. He just shrugged and leaning towards her said "what I don't understand is why are you the way you are? You are obviously rich I mean you're married to one of the richest producers of our time, looks like your family belongs to the richest families around and yet here you are. Barely making do. Is this some sort of discovery stage? Or wait are you trying to be rebellious? I me-"  what he was about to say was cut of swiftly when he felt strong hands circle his wind pipe temporarily leaving him helpless.

"Who do you think you are Mr big shot movie star? How dare you question me or my life? Who gave you this right? Remember you're a guest here. Eat, enjoy and leave! Your questions aren't welcome here. Do I make myself clear?" She asked adding a bit of force on his wind pipe. He just nodded his head in agreement.

"For a small thing you are surprisingly strong" Carl remarked trying to catch his breath. Kim did not answer, just slammed her door shut in his face.

He stood looking at her door a moment before turning and heading into his own room. The only thing on his mind was finding more about Kim by hook or crook and he knew the exact person to help him. He couldn't wait for morning to execute his plan.

So.... looks like Carl love's getting Kim worked up. And more importantly she looks like she has some secrets. Do you think that Carl may find them? And if he does what do you think his reaction is going to be?

Stay tuned!! Plz comment, vote and share!!!
