The Guy I Met In College (COMPLETE)

L-O-V-E

It's been a little more then two weeks since Aman basically asked me to marry him after college. I'm not ready for commitment yet, there is still so much I haven't done on my own. Trust me I love him a lot, but he's something different. Aisha has stopped contacting me completely but still keeps in contact with Aman... I don't understand! She should be back to college soon... I hope... our dorm is so quiet without her, she would always talk to me and keep me company. Aman has been clinging to my side every second of the day claiming that it's a dangerous world for such a beautiful girl like me. Courtney apologized to me for being a bitch, and I apologized for telling the truth a bit to harshly. Since it is November, my parents always throw parties... they like living the fancy life. I just want a normal one. The party they have tonight is family only, and of course my parents want me there... I don't want to go... it's not the same without Gracie.
"Priya?"
"Priya?"
"Priya?
"Open the door baby!" I hear Aman's voice yell from the other side of my door. I jump up from my bed and rush over to the door trying to clear all my thoughts. I open the door and Aman stands there with a cheeky smile plastered on his lips. I smile at him and then suddenly he walked towards me slamming the door shut behind him. He wraps his arm around my waist and brings me closer to his body. I feel a rush of excitement enter my body as he touches me. He gives me a grin before attacking my neck. I feel myself melting in his arms as he places soft delicate kisses on my neck. I lace my arms around his neck pulling him closer... if that's possible. I feel him smile against my skin as he starts tracing kisses up to my jaw. Then I feel his lips attack mine and I let into the sensation kissing him back. His hands gripped my waist firmly and I kept my hands laced around his neck. I felt Aman slightly start to pull away and I let out a slight whimper not wanting to let him go. We rest our foreheads on each other's as we try to catch our breath.
"Priya," Aman sighs out trying to catch his breath. My breath is ragged and unsteady from my lungs giving out slowly.
"Aman what was that?" I ask letting out a small giggle.
"I just really love you," Aman mumbles as his breath becomes normal again.
"So you need to show me?" I laugh raising my head to look at Aman.
"Haan, now lets go," Aman said smiling and turning around walking towards the door.
"Where?" I ask and he stops walking.
"We have to go to that party for your parents, they asked me to bring you." Aman says and I feel my smile slowly drop. He turns around and his expressions soften.
"But I don't want to go," I mumble.
"C'mon, it'll be fun... I know it's not the same without Gracie but she would've wanted you to go." Aman says smiling sadly at me.
"If you don't want to go for Gracie... go for me? Go with me?" Aman asks. I look down at my feet and then look at Aman his expression is soft and caring. I hesitate for a second before I smile sadly at him.
"Okay," I say giving in to the cute face Aman is pulling without even realizing.
"Good, because I've already bought you a dress." Aman winks showing me a toothy grin. I step forward to protest but he darts out of my dorm. In a matter of seconds he's back with a dress in his hands. My mouth drops open and I stare at the dress in amazement.
"You've pinned this to your Pinterest so many times, found it and bought it for you." Aman beams as he hands the dress to me. I look at the stunning dress in my hands and immediately run into Aman's arms.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I squeal while showering him with kisses. He lets out a hearty laugh and I release my grip around him.
"You go get ready, and I'll go get ready," Aman smiles before leaving my room. I smile and instantly start to get ready.
*******
"You look stunning," Aman says for the fiftieth time.
"Thank you," I giggle as we pull into the long driveway of my home. Hundreds of cars filled the driveway and I felt a bit of nervousness wash over me as Aman parked the car.
"Ready?" He asks smiling and showing his dimples. I smile and nod my head. He clambers out of the car and I open my door taking a deep breath before Aman pops up and hands me his hand. I gladly take his hand into mine and step out of the car. I smile at him as he closes the car door. We start walking arm and arm towards my house and I feel all my nervousness fly from my shoulders as I cling to Aman's arm. Some of my aunties and uncles are outside conversing when they see Aman and I approaching. As we pass them it's like we are celebrities because they gasp and ooo at us. We walk inside and the house is of course crowded with family. I spot my parents walking down the stairs and smile in relief. We walk through the crowd getting looks from family and saying our hello's.
"Priya!" My mom says excitedly seeing me here hale and hearty. I smile as she pulls me into a bone crushing hug.
"Hi mom" I laugh pulling away from our hug.
"My gosh you look amazing!" She gasps taking every last detail on my dress.
"Thanks mom," I roll my eyes then proceed to give my father a hug. I haven't been to one of these things in so long, it kinda feels good to be here surrounded by family.
"Enjoy yourselves tonight, your mom and I have some things to take care of," my dad says smiling at Aman and I.
"We will," Aman smiles taking my hand in his.
*******
The night had been prefect so far, I've caught up with family. Aman hasn't been weird but paying all his attention to me. He seems relaxed right now. I'm currently sitting in the kitchen picking at the delicious food. Aman was talking with my dad last time I saw him, Aman promised me the last dance of the night. My little cousins all wanted to dance with him and I watched as he spun them around in their sparkly dresses on the dance floor. But then I disappeared into the kitchen to eat something, and in the process I saw my dad and Aman having a conversation.
"Ready?" I hear a voice cut through my thoughts. I look up from the plate in my hands to see Aman smiling at me. I smile placing the plate down and walk over to him.
"So ready," I laugh as he wraps his arm around my waist and leads me to the dance floor. It's silent and all my family members are watching us walk to the middle of the dance floor excitedly. Aman looks at the guy my parents hired to play music and nods his head as if signaling a go. Then a song starts to play.

(The song that is playing is called L-O-V-E by Nat King Cole, feel free to put on the song as you read the next part. The black bold italicized print is the song. )

L is for the way you look at me
Aman takes my hand in his and holds onto me while we start to move in the rhythm of the music.

O is for the only one I see
I look into Aman's eyes and he stares at me with so much emotion.

V is very very, extra ordinary
He spins me around as I feel a rush of excitement rush through my body with the sudden movement.

E is even more then anyone that adore and,
His hand rests on my waist as my back is against his chest and we sway to the music.

Love is all that I can give to you
I see my aunties and uncles smiling at us while we dance sweetly to the music.

Love is more than just a game for two
I smile as Aman spins me back around to face him, he has a huge smile on his face as he places his arm around my waist.

Two in love can make it
Aman slowly start to dip me and I let him while holding on tightly to him making sure I don't fall.

Take my heart, and please don't break it
He raises me to his eye level again and places a kiss on my cheek before spinning me outwards then back into his arms.

Love was made for me and you
I look at him as the trumpets in the song start to play and he whispers three words in my ear.
"I love you," he says while pulling back and swaying with me. I smile and lean in giving him a kiss as the music continues to play. I hear clapping around us when I kiss him making me blush in embarrassment. I pull away and look around to see my aunties and uncles clapping at our dance and my parents look like they are about to cry. I look back at Aman and smile before whispering back the same words he whispered so lovingly to me.
"I love you too."
