Let's Fall Together

22. Had too much to drink?

Rivaah's POV

It is Saturday night and I'm going clubbing today.

For the first time in my life.

Ever since I was sixteen, I had this very strange wish to go clubbing. I, being brought up in Gujarat, had next to no night life. Our plan of going out had always been either at a dinner only to return by ten, or a function where all the cousins ended up being insane together.

I was so excited to go to a club atleast once, that I had specifically purchased a dress for it with my own pocket money. Mumma doesn't know about it, or she would have grounded me for buying such an outrageous peice of clothing.

As I watched my reflection in the mirror, I almost couldn't beleive it was me. The dress was a mini slip on that ended just near my mid thigh. The fabric was a brown satin, shining like liquid light. The thin straps were the only ones holding it up. The curves of my body were perfectly being highlighted, I felt like a godess.

Time to party bitches!

Taking my purse from the bed, I left the room but not before blowing a kiss at the mirror. Let's go!

I had told Vaidehi aunty about it in the evening itself, and she had been equally excited for me. I loved her, she was a girl's girl.

As I was walking past the door, a tall wall collided with me.

A single look at him and my mood soared tenfolds.

Ugh.

"Can't you see where you're goin-"

Kartik's words died down in his mouth when he saw me, his eyes taking in my form like a hawk watching it's prey.

I smirked.

Had I rendered him speechless with my beauty!?

What can I say *hair flip*

I had kept the makeup subtle, with only smokey eyes and a nude brown lipstick, but it had seemed to do the trick for me.

"Are you going somewhere? " his menacing eyes had narrowed on mine, judgement clear in his tone.

"No, this is my new nightdress. Pretty, isn't it? " I glared back at him. "Ofcourse, I'm going out. "

"Where? " he rolled his eyes.

Uh, god what was his problem?

You, his glare confirmed.

"Out. " I walked past him, not letting his words pull my spirit down, but he held my arm and pulled me backwards like I was a gear he was shifting in the car.

Bloody hell.

"Where, Rivaah. " His eyes were ablaze, his voice authorative like it is in the office. He was full boss mode right now.

"Club. With Sharanya and the other people from office. " the words were out of my mouth on their own, without a second thought. Damn, his bossiness.

He nodded.

"Hmm.. When will you come back? "

"Excuse me? Why would I tell you? " I asked incredulously. What was wrong with him? Why was he acting like that? I wasn't a child for God's sake.

"Because -" He started but abruptly stopped, leaving my arm, as his hand weaved through his hair. He then pointed his index finger at me, as he continued, "Because for as long as you are living in this house, you are our responsibility. So, you have to answer to me. "
