"Yes, Mr. Zuchroff, I'll be having a meeting with the new clients today at four. If they can't squeeze in today for the appointment then inform them there's no new cases I'll be willing to take until the end of the next month. I'll hang up now I have some important things to deal with right now.", Rizz said on the phone as he walked towards the kitchen to make breakfast.
Aria walked out from the in-home gym and rushed to her room to take a quick shower.
"You couldn't inform me beforehand that you had your classes early today?", Rizz questioned like a disappointed father as soon as he saw Aria come out of her room all dressed up for her University.
"Yeah it just slipped off my mind and-", Aria couldn't finish as Rizz had already pushed a plate of french toast and green tea infront of her.
"Eat. We don't have time for your explanations.", he commanded as he rushed to his room to get ready for his work.
Soon they both were rushing out of the apartment while their house help cleaned the place.
So this was Aria and Rizz's married life. They had a very professional house help who would just clean the house while other chores like laundry and cooking were done by Rizz and Aria themselves. They both had turns when it came to cooking but mostly the breakfast part went to Aria and dinner to Rizz as Aria was not skilled enough to prepare a whole meal.
Lunch was skipped as it was sent over to Rizz's workplace by Fariha and Awez. As far as Aria was concerned, she made the trip to Awez and Fariha's place for lunch in the time between her university and her workplace.
Today was no different except for the fact that Aria forgot she had early classes today and only remembered it when she was halfway through her workout which led to Rizz and Aria both rush in and Rizz taking up the breakfast duty.
"At what time are you getting free from work?", Rizz questioned as he pulled the car from the parking lot.
"Six-thirty. The usual. Why?", Aria was adjusting her bag strap in pure nonchalance and when she didn't hear any reply from Rizz she looked up at him, who was looking at her, with mock disappointment while his small smile was giving away his facade.
"What?", she again questioned, this time in a sing-song way, dragging the word.
"You forgot, didn't you? Dinner. At Rameez's house?", Rizz reminded her of the dinner party at one of this friends' house and Aria couldn't help but groan.
"You have too many friends! You know how my social battery runs out after meeting people at uni and work and its hard keeping up with your friends and their meetups!", Aria complained like a kid, her lips pulled out in a pout.
Rizz knew Aria wasn't much of an extrovert and he was also aware one of the reasons for her irritation was the FOMO she was experiencing being away from her friends back home.
"Rameez and his wife are nice people. You haven't met them yet. They had to miss our housewarming party as they were in Denver. You'll love them, I promise.", and somehow Rizz's assurance calmed Aria down, like it always did.
Rizz knew a lot of people and had friends but he knew it was difficult for Aria to open up to people especially the ones that came in her age group so whenever in a party or a gathering, he didn't leave her side. He encouraged her to talk to new people but didn't push her or pressurize her. He made conversation with people while Aria perched on to him. In fact, the two of them enjoyed each other's company like two best friends. It was just Aria who left Rizz on moments when there were only male acquaintances and friends. Aria wasn't comfortable in an all male environment and Rizz made sure to abide by it and keep her as comfortable as possible.
