6 MONTHS LATER

ALISHA

"Ok, both of our clothes are laid out. So let's go over the list to make sure that we have everything. Honey, do you have your clothes put together for the haldi event?" I ask him. He points at the folded clothing and answers, "Yes."

"Outfit for mehendi?"

"Yep."

"Sangeet?"

"Yes."

"Wedding?"

"Yes my love."

"Reception?"

"Right here, my love."

"Brunch?"

"In front of you."

"Ok good, you have everything. I also have everything packed for myself. Ok, let's go otherwise we're going to miss the flight," I tell Nathan and grab the suitcases.

"Babe, four suitcases for one wedding in one week?" Nathan is attending an Indian wedding for the first time and he doesn't know how much goes in an Indian wedding. "Welcome to Indian weddings," I answer, and he laughs.

Unfortunately, Luke cannot come with us to the wedding because he has some work to do with the packs in Russia and he left for the country three days ago. But both of us are traveling with Liam, Navya didi, Ranveer and Dhriti. The good thing was that I got all of Nathan's outfits here in LA since there were quite a bit of Indian clothing stores here and Nathan really liked it, which is a lot to say because he is picky when it comes to clothing.

Nathan and I reach the garage and put the suitcases in the car. We both sat in the backseat while a pack member sits in the driver's seat and drives out of the garage and we were on the way to the LAX airport. "How many of your family members are going to be at the wedding?" Nathan asks me.

"A lot. I have a lot of cousins, especially from my mom's side. So basically, the entire Bhatt and Singh families will be coming to the wedding," I tell him. "I hope your parents' house won't be crowded," He says. I laugh and answer, "No. It's only going to be my parents, Ayaan, Liam, Navya didi, Ranveer, Dhriti, you and me. No one else is going to stay at our house."

Nathan breathes a sigh of relief and I kiss him on the cheek. "As long as I get some time with you alone, it's enough for me." I lightly slap him on the arm, and he smiles at me and gives me a peck on the lips.

We reach the airport and our pack members put the suitcases on the trollies, and we say our goodbyes to them and of course, Nathan gives them orders before we walk inside. Nathan and I check in our bags and follow the directions to our gate and once we reach the gate, we see Liam, Navya didi, Ranveer and Dhriti. Mr. Selin could not come with Dhriti because he couldn't take off from work.

"Finally! There you are. Let me guess, Alisha had you check three times to make sure that you have everything, right?" Navya didi tells Nathan. "Not three, five times," Nathan answers her and I slap him on the arm again. "You wanna hit me? Then, hit me in the ass, baby." Nathan takes my hand and tries to have me hit his ass, but I free myself from his grip.

"Nate, we're in public, not at home." He laughs. After talking and eating lunch, our plane has arrived at the airport, and we are currently boarding the plane. We sat in our assigned seats and after a while, the plane took off and we were on our way to Chicago.

The plane landed in Chicago and all of us board off the plane and make it inside the airport. After a while, we grab our bags from the baggage claim and sit in the waiting area. "Does your dad know that we're here?" Liam asks me.

"Yeah. I already sent him a text message and he also gets our flight updates. He should be here soon," I answer his question. As if on cue, my phone signals a message and I check a text message from Papa.

Papa: Beta, I'm here

Alisha: Ok coming

"Papa is here," I tell them all. We all gather our bags, walk out the airport and I recognize two white SUVs that Papa had bought a long time ago, and Papa was standing outside, leaning against one of the SUVs. He comes over to us, greets us and hugs both me and Navya didi. We pile our suitcases in the vehicles and Liam, Navya didi and Ranveer sit in the first SUV, and me, Nathan and Dhriti sat in the other SUV with Papa.

"Did you all have a good flight? No problems or turbulence?" Papa asks. "Everything was good, Mr. Bhatt," Nathan answers. "Nathan, how many times do I have to tell you. Call me, Ravi, not Mr. Bhatt. I'm not old. I'm also young like you guys," Papa corrects Nathan and laughs.

I shake my head with a smile on my face. I swear, Papa doesn't want to grow old and always wants to remain young. I mean, if you meet Papa and Mom, they still have the youngster behavior in them. After a while, we finally reach home and it feels good to see my home after 6 months, but this time it looks different. They are decorations set up outside of the house like flower decorations adorned around the front door frame and the lights lit up the house, even though the lights are not turned on.

We get out of the vehicles and the Bhatt pack members bring our suitcases. The front door opens, revealing Mom and Ayaan bhaiya. "Welcome back home!" Mom exclaims and hugs me and Navya didi. After hugging us, she hugs Nathan, Liam and Dhriti, and kisses Ranveer on his forehead.

We all walk inside the house and I can tell that nothing has changed in the house where I grew up. "Wow, what a beautiful home." Nathan looks around. "My cousins and I were born in this house. My grandfather built this home, just for his children and their safety. But ever since he died and this whole thing with my grandmother's killer lose out there, my aunt and uncle moved out, but Papa decided to stay in this house and take care of it," I answer. He smiles at me and gives me a kiss on the forehead.

"That's sweet, honey," He says, and we walk in the living room. "Dhriti, you'll stay in one of the guest rooms upstairs. Nathan, you will stay with Alisha in her room. And Liam and Navya, you both will also stay in a guest room. Why don't you all get settled and we can meet for dinner, ok?" Mom tells us and we all nod.

Before we all went upstairs, I walk over to Mom and ask, "Mom, do you need help with any preparations for the haldi ceremony tomorrow?"

She smiles and answers, "No, Alisha. Everything is set. There's nothing else to do." I smile in response. "You go upstairs, relax and freshen up." I nod and walk upstairs and enter in my room. I look around and realize that nothing has changed in my room. Everything looks the same as how I left it when I moved to LA.

"This whole room for us. What an amazing opportunity for me to knock you every night," Nathan says and wraps his arms around my waist, and I blush in response. He connects my lips to my neck and kisses there and I moan in pleasure. "Nate......"

"Damn I love it when you moan my name."

Nathan continues to kiss my neck while he's squeezing my ass with his hands, which urges me to push myself further into him and I could feel his manhood rubbing against my legs, which makes me aroused. "You know? On the plane, I badly wanted to take you there," Nathan says against my skin.

"With all those passengers on there?" I ask him in horror. He laughs and responds, "No. We have to get on a plane where there's a room and it will be just the two of us. No one will bother us."

"Let's see if you can make it happen," I tell him. He stops kissing my neck and looks at me. "Do I hear a challenge?" He asks. "Maybe."

"Ok then. You wait and watch, Ms. Alisha Bhatt. I will book a plane ticket with a room for 2, and this will happen after the wedding when we fly back to LA," Nathan says with determination. I cross my arms over my chest and respond, "We'll see if it happens."

Nathan kisses me on the lips and says, "Oh trust me. It will." He separates himself from me, grabs a towel from his suitcase and disappears into the bathroom. God, I love him.
