Long time No see

Her pov

I wore the first dress which I didn't like and felt a little shy about showing this to Ahaan, I was about to change but then I thought I needed a second opinion so I should show him. I walked out of the dressing room

He looked up at me and his face was blank at first then I saw a little anger in his eyes as he was looking at the deep cut giving a full view of my neck & showing little cleavage. I felt shy when he was looking at my neck area. I looked at him waiting for his comment
"No, I didn't like it, the neck is too deep " I was shocked to hear his words. Wow, this man has no filter. But I agreed as I also didn't like this dress much. Reena was smiling at our conversation like a little girl watching some rom-com series. I rolled my eyes at her and went in for another dress. This dress was nice but its back was quite exposing

I walked out to show him this dress, Ahaan looked at my dress, he looked quite relieved that the front was covered but then I decided to give him a little show and I swept my hair from the back and turned around to show him the back of the dress to mess around with him
"Isn't this dress pretty, it has a nice back pattern too " I said smiling inwardly, I turned around, he was not looking happy with this dress. He is looking here and there to check if there are any male employees or not. Typical him!
"Bambina, go and change into another dress" his voice serious
"But what's wrong with this dress" I argue, I genuinely liked this dress, he can't say no just because he didn't like the back of the dress. It's my fault only, I should have not shown him the back. I'm the dumb one here"
He looked at Reena and she got the sign so she excused herself from the scene. Ahaan walked towards me eliminating the distance between us, he held my chin up to make me look up & lean close to my face, we were so close, our breaths mingled, he moved towards my ears and whispered "Bambina, don't make me change you out of this dress with my hands "
Chills ran down my spine hearing these words worse than imagining this scene. He is making me all hot and bothered right now. He backed off and went to his previous position on the couch as if he hadn't threatened me to change my dress with his own hands.
His facial expressions are all nonchalant and here I'm sure my face would be totally on fire. With him I felt like my cheeks would always stay crimson red, he is that good at making me feel butterflies in my stomach but why he is doing that when he already told me he doesn't like me? I felt like I was always confused when it came to him. I shake my head to stay calm and sane because with him one day I'll go insane.

I went back in & tried two more dresses which also he didn't approve. That's my problem, I can't decide on my own, if someone says no to any dress even if I liked it, I will not buy it because the other person didn't like the dress. It always happens to me, even when I go shopping with Mom or Kavya. I always get what they approve of because I don't believe in my own choices of clothes.
"Now this is the last dress I'm trying, if he didn't like it then fuck it, I'm coming in jeans for the engagement party " I am getting frustrated from changing dresses. I put on the lehenga without looking in the mirror, I grumbly walked out of the trial room and looked at the same woman in her 40s talking to Ahaan & the girl around my age was also standing there shyly smiling looking at Ahaan
"Are you single son?" That woman asked Ahaan before Ahaan said anything I "Ahem" making my presence known. All eyes turned towards me, I looked down and adjusted my dupatta feeling a little overwhelmed by all the stares

"My wife" I heard, I shockingly looked up and saw Ahaan say with a subtle smile on his wife, he came towards me & whispered in my ears
"Beautiful " I felt really shy because of his sudden compliment, he proceeded to hold my waist and guide me towards that woman. The woman was looking at me with curiosity, her gaze was sharp and unblinking
"Mam, meet my wife, Sanjana, " he said slightly pulling me into his chest
"Namaste mam " I bowed in respect
She smiled & I finally took a breath of relief
"Oh she is beautiful son, better keep her happy, okay ? " she said in a motherly tone
"Yes mam, I will always keep her happy, " he said reassuring her and doing something that I never even thought in my wildest dreams. He leaned down and kissed my forehead.

I stiffened from his actions but when I looked at him, his face had this natural expression as if we were a real couple and he do this every day. The lady, Reena even that girl around my age smiled at this exchange and naturally my cheeks turned all crimson red.
"We'll take this" he said motioning Reena to pack this dress for me and he went to talk on the phone with someone from his company

I was about to go to change when that lady came to me smilingly and said " Young lady protect your husband, I can see so many girls are after him "She warned me
I chuckled at her words, who's gonna tell her that he is not my husband but I still nodded at her and changed into my clothes.
I was going to pay for the bill but then I saw Ahaan already paid for it. I let him as I didn't want to make a scene in the store as everyone thinks that we are a married couple. Ahaan collected the bags and kept the bags in the backseat. Finally, after 4 hours of searching, I got my dress. He opened the door for me and motioned me to sit. I took my seat and he was putting on his seatbelt
"You don't need to pay for my dress, I will pay .." before I complete my sentence he leaned over, his face so close to mine, that it looked like he was going to kiss me, I gulped at this closeness and he pulled the seatbelt & locked it. He was back in his original position, all expressionless while my stomach was doing flips.

I forgot what was I saying. Oh, now I understand it was his trick to shut me up. I decided to stay quiet, if I said something, he would pull another stunt and I'm sure I will not be able to take this anymore.
