He was MINE ✔️

chapter 16

Mia's POV

"Yeah , so that's what happened" . I completed explaining the towel incident to Zee. And to say that she was disappointed, would be an understatement. She was so sure that this method will drive Karan crazy and finally we'll have some intimacy. This was her 'full-proved' plan, her words and she couldn't handle that her idea actually failed.

"Babe , I am telling you there's something terribly wrong with your husband. Are you sure everything is completely fine with him , I mean physically?" She was still shocked.

I couldn't help but blush hearing her . He was fine all right.

"Shut up Zee. And I will let you know that everything is absolutely fine with him . Thank you very much." I snapped at her ! I was feeling angry that she talked about Karan like that. I mean I knew she's just teasing but still, damn this hormones.

"Okhay there tigress, defending much?" I could literally imagine her with furrowed brows and a teasing smile.

"Yeah sorry . I didn't mean to snap at you . But don't talk about him badly. Now will you please help me with my problem?" I pleaded , trying to shift the topic.

"Yes, I will be there within an hour."

Today's Saturday. Karan informed me last night about the corporate party his company is throwing to celebrate their new deal with The Mackenzie industries. So the theme was western and black and white.

And as usual I needed help with getting ready after all this was our first public appearance together after the marriage and we had decided to keep it a secret for sometimes for my safety and for our privacy , but still it will be a first time .

Zee brought me this super sexy yet sophisticated looking gown . It had a thigh high slit at the right side and I loved the neck of this dress it covered everything properly, giving it a smart look but leaving my arms bare . The bodice was jet black but then it flared out in black and white vertical stripes. She completed my look with minimal make up and some dangling earpiece. My hair was made in a fancy bun and I wore a pair of black pump .

"Wow Mia, you looking so amazing. I am sure Karan will have a hard time tonight specially with that broad slit . " She winked at me .

And I couldn't help but blush , as usual. After some minutes Zee had to go , because Max had some surprise for her.

So, it was just me now in this whole house alone. Karan had some work ,he said he'll pick me up around 7pm and it was already 6:50 pm . He'll be here anytime now.

I didn't notice but I was carresing my belly softly. Then I stood up infront of the full length mirror and positing my body at different angles I was seeing if my belly looked grown from any angle but it was still flat. I couldn't help but imagine myself with a round belly and smiling internally.

"So , is mommy looking for her baby bump?" Karan's voice broke my chain of thoughts . And I turned around at the speed of light ,holding a hand over my heart.

"Karan , you almost gave me a heart attack . When will you stop sneaking up on me like that ?" I could still feel my heart's rapid beating under my palm.

He just made an amused face and came towards me. His arms went around my waist and his palms rested on my belly over mine. He put his face on my bare shoulder after placing a small kiss there .

I wish I could stay there in his arms always. It was a complete reflection in mirror. Karan was covering us in this warm safe cocoon,chasing away any evil.

"Never love , btw did I tell you that you are looking so hot tonight!" He nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck.

"No." On cue, I was again blushing.

"Mia, why do you always blush? Not that I am complaining. You look really cute then ," I tried to deny the fact but Karan pointed out that we were standing right in front of a mirror. My face flushed in embarrassment and Karan was enjoying himself very much he was chuckling in amusement.

Why God. Ugghhh.

I couldn't tolerate it any longer so I turned around in his embrace and hid my face in his chest . He was still laughing .

"There there, Don't be shy now ." He patted my hair as if I was a puppy.

"Don't touch my hair " I warned him but it came out as some gibberish and he was still messing with my hair.

I stood up straight pushing him away ," you are such a bully Karan . Why do you always mess up my hair ? I won't talk to you anymore." I crossed my arms under my chest and was looking somewhere else, because I couldn't ever stay mad at him when I actually look at him .

"Babe, come on we are getting late now and you realise right you are behaving like a five year old now ."

Five years old!!how dare you.

Anyways I am not talking to you.

"Oh come on seriously Mia, silent treatment doesn't suit you. "

"Mia"

"Mia"

"My small baby Mia"

He's trying to convince me or insulting me?

"Oi wifey. Won't you talk to me?"

"Okhay come on love , don't be like that please? See I am even saying sorry and I am holding my ears too " . And there he was , my 25years old  husband in ARMANI  suit holding his years and pouty lips , how could I stay mad at him . But ...

( Please vote !!!! If you have not already. Please. Let's do a target of 100 votes for next part . )

"Okhay , but if you let me take a picture of yours like this  ."

"Mia, are you serious?"

"Yes " .

"Okhay then , I will pose like this ." He grabbed a stool and sat on it looking very serious. 

Real smooth . Mr. Raichand.

"No , Karan you know what I meant ."

"But Mia, I will look like a five years old ."

"Doesn't matter. You also called me a five years old. "

"So this is revenge!"

"Yup"I said popping the p and also sticked my tongue out at him.

"Okhay. Whatever" . He also mumbled something about pregnant women and tantrums under his breath but whatever I got my picture.

So , it was finally 7:30 pm when we left for the party . And we reached around 8:30pm . Karan was sulking because he was late for his own party. Since we couldn't go in public together without stirring any media buzz , we decided that we'll meet my dad in the back entrance of the Marriott's, and I'll come with my dad .

I was meeting my dad for the first time after marriage and I was pretty nervous.
"Dad, how are you? "

"Good. You?"

"I am very good dad ." Finally he turned and looked at me .

"How's Karan with you ?"

"He keeps me very happy dad. I am really happy with him ."

"Good" his lips finally stretched upwards a little and he opened his arms wide . I immediately hugged him very tightly.

"Dad, I am so sorry that things happened like this." I was trying not to cry

"There there , baby you are happy now and so I am happy ." He patted my back lovingly. And we arrived in front of the entrance of The Marriott's.

The bright camera flashes were blinding my eyes . Dad stepped out first and held out his arm to me. I stepped out and the media started throwing questions at Dad . He replied politely and they asked us for some pictures and then we entered the party.

We are done for today. So what do you think about this chapter? I think it was pretty cute . And expect some big drama for the next two chapters. Can anyone guess what will happen?
