Tasha's Pov

I was holding hands with Justin coming down the stairs. "Wow, this house is so huge" Ranbir looked around whilst Justin was carrying him.
"I know right, but it's our neighbours house" I replied. Nanu was in front listening to our conversation, and smiling. At least I told Nanu about everything. The family were already sat down waiting for us. We took the seats near Nanu, and we were in front of Sameer, and Arjun. I really miss my brother, but he married to Shefali. I was glad that they were together.

Sameer kept looking at me, but I wasn't paying attention. They all started praying for the food. "Dear Jesus, thank you for giving us this wonderful meal that you have bestowed upon us amen" Justin, and I gave salutations, whilst Ranbir was following us. Everyone looked at us, because they didn't know we were Christians. "What happened?" I asked. There was an awkward silence until Ranbir spoke up. "It dosen't matter if your Hindu or christian, we have our own ways in thanking god, and you shouldn't be ashamed about it" Ranbir was intelligent for his age. "Well done son, you actually blew us all away, thank you sharing that" I was proud that Ranbir is my son.

"Wow your son has excellent morals, and a great upbringing" Shefali was amazed. "Thank you so much" I was thankful. "I love Indian food" Justin was happy. I looked at him, and smiled. We all started eating. "Mom, what is this?" Ranbir asked. "This round thing is called naan bread, and this is Chicken tikka masala" I explained to him. "No wonder it's so spicy, can we go to McDonald's to buy ice-cream soon when pops, and you are free?" Ranbir pouted. "Of course dear, if you asking so politely, we will go soon, but for now let's enjoy the food" I started feeding him with a spoon.

Justin wanted to feed me, so I opened my mouth. He moved the spoon elsewhere. We both started to laugh. I got my spoon, and made it go closer to his mouth, he chewed on it, and swallowed. I wiped his mouth with my fingers. "Now you have to feed me" I moaned. "Say ahh Tasha" Justin did the expression. I opened my mouth, and he fed me. I looked back at everyone, and they all were feeling jealous of mine and Justin's bond except Nanu.

Sameer's Pov

Seriously, why do they have to do this here? Why are they reminding me of Naina, and I, how we used to do this? I swear I'm not jealous of them, but it's actually adorable to see a cute loving family. I looked at all of my friend's reactions, and oh boy thier eyes were fuming in flames. "Can I talk to Munna, Pandit, Preeti, and Swathi?" I gestured them that I wanted to talk.

We all came in to a corner where no one could hear us. "What do these American people think of themselves, that they can romance anywhere, this is India, and not America, where you can do everything freely? Preeti, and Swathi complained. "Come on, they don't know the Indian culture, and they did say they landed here 2 days ago, give them some time to settle down?" I scolded them quietly. "Sameer is right, they are different to us, and not everyone is the same" Pandit suggested. We all went back.

Tasha's Pov

I still love teasing them all. "Justin we made them too jealous" I whispered in his ear. "That's the whole point, we need Sameer to grow some feelings for you" he replied back. We stood up. "Thank you for the lovely dinner, we enjoyed it" Justin wrapped his arm around my shoulder, and we were about to leave when Sameer called us. What if he found out that I'm Naina? Oh Jesus save me this time. "Let's face the situation" Justin smirked. "Very funny" I replied sarcastically.

We turned around, and smiled. They were coming at us like a ferocious pack of wolves ready to pounce on us. "How dare you both romance at the dinner table?" Preeti shouted. I was smiling from the inside, but on the outside I was scratching my face to distract myself from listening. "Hello, we are talking to you?" Swathi clicked her fingers. I gave Ranbir over to Justin. I walked forward, and circled around them.

"I like your attitude, but don't you think your all forgetting something?" I made them all nervous. "What?" They were all scared. "Your so old-fashioned, come on get out of the 90s era, and live in the 2000's,Why are you all scared of romancing at the dinner table, no one is going to bite you, if you truly love someone, you should express it, and not hide it away, that's the difference between me, and you all?" I made a come back answer, that thier mouths were zipped.

"What happened are your mouths locked?" I started whistling. "Yeah, that's what I thought adiós amigos" I held on to Justin's hand, and we left Sameer's mansion. I still have that swag left in me, and what more can they have, after I said this to them. Anyways Tasha McQueen is lit. "What a comeback answer you gave them, no one can mess with you my bestie" Justin winked at me. "I don't hesitate to give an answer back" Tasha McQueen is back in town.
