Summer love #Wattys2016

Chapter 47

Seb POV:

"What did I tell you Mia?"I was covered in milk and bananas holding the blender.

"Don't switch" She folded her arms and pouted at me. What actually happened was,Mia told me that she was hungry and we decided to make a banana smoothie.When I was out answering a call Mia switched on the blender and the bananas started flying around hitting the ceiling.That was when I decided to come in, and now I'm fully covered in banana and milk.

"Mummy will freak out when she finds about this, come on lets clean you up first"I lifted her up and made her take a bath.Before dressing Mia up I heard a shrill downstairs.

"What the hell is this mess Sebastian?" I peeked out of the bedroom as she stood amongst the mess making a scrunchy face.Oh ho,trouble ahead!

"Uh...Just a minute,gotta brace this bug up here"Mia pulled her leggings up and I carried her downstairs.

"Before counting to five tell me who did this"She placed her hands on her hips and a banana dripped from the ceiling which landed right on her face.Mia started laughing at her mum who made weird noises as she took the banana from her nose.It was absolutely hilarious.

"I did not,it was your marvellous creation "I pointed at Mia who shook her head fast.

"Daddy don't do banana shake,so Mia does"She pouted again at her mother.

"Mia 'did' "she corrected Mia and took of her work shoes and placed them neatly on the shoe cupboard.She came back with two cups of coffee in her hand and gave me one.

"Please please clean this mess.I didn't even start packing"she sighed and took the TV remote.

"You were the one jumping up and down when I told Disney"I sat down with Mia and sipped the coffee.

"Work schedule was really tight you know, had to work day and night so that I had no work during holidays"she settled on watching some old rerun of scandal.Her hair was pushed up in a messy bun and she wore some loose sweatpants and her work shirt.She looked so stressful.

"Get up,lets go out tonight"I sat the coffee mug on the table and gave my hand for her to grab.

"I told you I didn't even pack"She brushed out the stray hairs.

"We have got all night to pack" Before I could finish the sentence she glared at me.

"Heyyyy,I was talking only about packing"she finally gave up and got up leaving our mugs in the kitchen.

"Dress up nicely" I shouted at her.

Within two minutes I heard Nisha call me, when I went and checked out she was looking at the Mirror holding the different dresses. It reminded me of our prom day.

"Black or blue? "she switched between both dresses. I snatched them out of my hand and put them on the bed.

" Whyy"she whined and ruffled her hair which made her look like a racoon.

"Go dress up Mia, I'll take a dress for you "I pushed her out of the room and started digging through her closet. Hmm.... this girl has some fashion sense. I looked one by one and by the time I was halfway through the closet Mia came running down dressed in cute blue leggings and a floral top.

"Daddy!!! How do I look? "she twirled around for me and I lifted her.

" My prettiest princess! You are going to give a rough competition to your mother "I looked at Nisha who stuck get tongue out.

" You are of no use"Nisha pushed me and started looking at her closet. She finally picked out a burgundy dress that she has never worn.

"Haven't worn this in three years"she dusted the dress and laid it out in the bed.

"Now chop chop! Go away, I'll be down in five "she pushed us away and I carried Mia to the living room.I looked at the small Christmas tree in the hallway, Mia wanted to have a Christmas tree even though we planned to celebrate Christmas at Disney land.

" Do you think we should get your mother a Christmas gift? "I asked Mia and she nodded. We agreed for no gifts on Christmas but I wanted to get something for her. I wanted to make her feel special for this Christmas as I really felt guilty that I was going to leave them for racing again. I pondered a lot and a brilliant idea stuck my head.

"I'm sure your mom will love this gift of mine "I kissed Mia on her cheek and Nisha emerged from her room looking flawless as always.

" You think this is good? I'm not sure how I look "she flattened the creases on her dress

" Perfect as always " I grinned at her and pulled her closer.

" Let's go? "

" Yup"she locked the flat and put the keys into my front pocket.

We got into the car and Nisha started humming to whatever was playing on the radio. I gave her a goofy smile and captured her hand in mine. She lowered the volume on the radio and turned towards me.

"So.... What will I love? "she looked at the road and asked me.

" What will you love? I can't get you "I looked at her briefly before focusing on the road.

" You were talking to Mia about something and I might have eavesdropped"

"Uh.... It's nothing. I told Mia that you would really love a break from all your stress. "I let a puff of air come out of my mouth.

" As if Mia would understand all that! Is it really that or something else? "she flipped her hair out of her face and got down the car. She opened the back door and Mia ran out giggling.

We had a really quiet dinner at the back of the restaurant avoiding all the attention. We really hoped that paps didn't catch this.

After dinner we were walking through the streets. I really wanted to buy Nisha this gift but I didn't get any opportunity or the correct shop to buy the gift. I didn't want to buy it online. I wanted it to be perfect. I was absent mindedly giving "hmm" to all of Nisha's questions until I found a mall at the corner of the street.

"Oops! Nisha we forgot to buy Kimi a Christmas gift. I've got to purchase him and even you have to buy gifts for Meera and Harry! "I turned and looked at her feeling panicked.

" umm... Meera and I never exchange gifts"

"But what about Hazza? Come on, go get a good gift for him while I go and dig out something for Kimi."

"Ok!Meet you here by nine" she took her clutch from Mia and entered the mall. I searched for a jewellery shop and at last I found a Tiffany's at the third floor.

I entered the shop and looked at the array of rings in the trays. A man approached me and asked me what I wanted to look at.

"Can you show me some engagement rings? Money is not a limit, I want it to be classy and bold, just like her"I smiled at the man and he started to recognize me.

"Hey aren't you that racer? You are Nisha Kapoor's boyfriend right! "

" Soon to be fiancé "I hid the color in my cheeks and he went down to look for some rings.

It took me almost an hour to find the perfect ring. I made him take out all the trays in the showcase and at last I found the one.

It was a simple band of many rows embedded with diamonds. I loved it and Mia pointed to the ring when I was glancing at a tray.

"This is it! "I took the ring in my fingers and rotated it thinking how good it would look on her hand. I told them to pack the ring in a black velvet box and secured it in my pocket.

" She's going to love it"I high fived Mia as we exited the shop.

"Yay daddie"Mia kissed me on the cheek and this was all I could ever ask for in my life. I AM GOING TO PROPOSE NISHA!
