I woke up the next morning feeling very sick, I sneezed and woke Rishi up too I ran into the bathroom and was sick. Rishi held my hair back and rubbed my back, he handed me a cloth and I wiped my face. I did my toothbrush and sat back in bed.

"Is there something you want to tell me" he smirked and burst out laughing. Jackass, we hadn't done anything in fact I was still a virgin. I wacked him and he put his arms up in surrender.

"You probably got a cold from walking all the way here in the rain" he scolded me, I pouted and he came towards me, he leaned in put I covered his mouth.

"You're not allowed to kiss me, you might get ill too" he huffed and backed up. I lay back down and felt a headache coming on.

Rishi came back in about 10 minutes later with some food and tea. He fed me and I lay back down he put a hot cloth on my head and I felt worse.

"You have a fever, we just need to wait till it breaks" I nodded and groaned. I must have fallen back asleep because I woke up feeling a little better. There was a note on the side table from Rishi.

I'm going to visit mom I will be back in a bit if you need anything Jay is in his room

I lay back down and looked at the clock, I used the apartment phone to call home.

"Hey mom"

"You need to come home tonight"

"Why what's wrong"

"Your dad had an argument with Jassi and he's angry as it is and Jassi didn't go to work and your dad is going to come home and drink, I just need you here"

"Ok I will as soon as Rishi comes home" she hung up and I knew tonight was going to be horrible.

I got my stuff together and waited till Rishi came home, it was nearing 4pm when he came home.

"Hey, um can you drop me off at home please my mom needs me to come home"

"My mom made you this I told her you were ill, drink it before bed" he handed me the thermos flask and I kissed his cheek.

"Thank her for me" he nodded and we left.

He dropped me off at home and left. I saw the cars in the drive and I ran inside, Dad was yelling at Jassi and Jassi looked at me.

"Look here comes your other slut of a daughter"

"Shut the fuck up and get out now" I stood in front of dad and he lifted his hand. I opened my eyes and Rishi was stood there holding his arm.

"You heard her" he let go of Jassi's hand and it was red.

"Rishi you need to leave" he handed me the flask.

"You forgot it in the car, and I'm defiantly not leaving now" he crossed his arms and Jassi stood up to him.

"You let your fucking daughters go out with scum like this, and you say I am a disgrace to this family"

Jassi was my dad's nephew from India, he came here for study reasons, he got a job at my dad's business and now he's been messing about. Gambling drinking alcohol and not going to work, being rude to customers and then they don't come back.

"Watch your mouth Jassi, and yes you are a disgrace, we don't come home at all hours of the night and throw up everywhere. We don't gamble and we don't mess about like you" Rishi was stood behind me getting angry.

"Dad go to bed" he shook his head

"Jassi get out or I will call the police, dad only wanted to talk and this is not talking" he huffed and slammed the door on his way out.

"Dad" I whispered, he was drunk and could barely stand, I took his arm and Rishi took his other. He helped me take him to his room and we came back downstairs.

"Rishi I apologise you shouldn't have had to do that"

"It's fine my dad had his phases too, don't worry" he hugged my mom and she said he could stay.

I took him up to my room and I flopped down on the bed. "Oh gosh"

"Are you ok" he pulled me into his lap and I nodded

"Yes thanks for that" I explained to him what happened and he had this understanding look.

I went down and heated up the stuff his mom gave me, I opened up the flask and it was sond, it was like a soup with shit loads of ginger which helped clear your system and I hated it.

I heated it up and drank it all because Rishi was shoving it down my gob. I finished and drank two glasses of water.

"I don't like it either" he scrunched up his nose and I wacked him.

"So it's my birthday soon and I'm having a big party and I want you to come"

"I would off crashed if you didn't invite me" he kissed my nose

"Rishi why don't you invite your parents as well and sister" mom piped in.

"Ye that's a good idea, but my mom will probably start talking about us getting married"

"That's why I want to meet her" Rishi paled and I burst out laughing at his face,

"She's just kidding" he smiled a little and I thought about us getting married, Riya weds Rishi sounds good.
