" I got you a man you can marry , for
your birthday" .
My eyes stared at him and then at Balu.
He was looking at me too. Deep black
eyes that gave me chills.
" Ok, of course that's normal . No reason
why I should fucking say No" , my voice
got higher by the end . My dad took my
hand from Balu's and held it in his two
hands.
" Jenny, there is something I didn't tell
you" , he said and I looked at him
confused. " The one who made that
engagement was your mom. And I wish
to fulfill her wish ".
Oh
It was mom's idea. No wonder.
" Fine . " I looked at Balu's once more
and he gave me a tiny smile.
" Thank for the present " .
" That's not the end of this, dear" my dad
went to search his bag and came back
with two rings in his hand.
" Ought to make it official " he held out
the rings and gave me a smile.
" Put it on" .
And I did, and so did Balu.
I have a fiance now. I never even had a
boyfriend before.
Balu took of from the chair and held my
hand. " Come on, we got to go".
His hand was warm now. " Wait, go
where? "
" To school , and in noon you're meeting
my parents" he said and I sighed.
" You go to the same school as me? "
He nodded and so did my dad .
" Since when? I never seen you" .
" Thanks for never noticing me. I actually
knew you because of your dad but I
swore an owe I won't do anything till
today" he held my hand tighter.
" And the day finally came".
" So you knew" , I said processing my
thoughts. " How long?"
" About a week. Let's go or we gonna be
late" he dragged me along and I
stumbled after him .
" See you later " my dad said as I walked
out of the house holding hands with
Balu.
My fiance.
Wait , Wait.
I got in his car and sat next to him.
I breathed in and out .
" Why are you fine with this" , I asked him
He was looking forward and he turned to
look at me.
He's really handsome. And above all my
type. I held my breath.
"I wasn't at first. But then i saw you .
getting late to class , smiling at the
teacher with your pretty eyes. "
He got closer to me , my hand was still
in his. " I don't know why , but you
intrigue me" .
I smiled "Your taste is good ,o my gosh"
I smiled and he did too .
He got closer to me and his cup touched
my head.
I leaned in closer . knock knock.
We broke apart fast and I turned around
with my cheeks flashes.
It was Vimal.
I rolled down the window and he looked
down at me as he bended.
" Tell me. who's that dude. now"
His blue eyes were focused on me and I
felt uncomfortable in that situation.
" Someone you don't know , now go
we're getting late" . I started to roll the
window up.
" Are you serious. I saw you almost
kissing in there. tell me I'm wrong " ,
he stared at me " you're mine" .
Balu turned his head and looked at me.
" You're not wrong. and I'm not yours.
We're nothing but neighbors Vimal" .
I will up the window and turned to Balu.
He was looking at me .
" Aren't you gonna drive ?" I asked.
He smiled at me " I am, hold tight" .
He took off and the car speed went up
higher and higher .
A scream slipped my mouth.
" you're crazy. hehehe" He laughed too .
" You're gonna be my wife . You're my
responsibility. I can't let you be late .
hehe" .
". yeah. sure , tell yourself that" I grabbed
his hand hard . " you just wanted to
drive in full speed for fun" .
He laughed " You got me there"
" Right on spot" .
We cane close to school and a thought
just slipped my mind . .
" Wait , what's your last name?".
" Lakes" .
I started at him "What Lakes?"
" You know another Lakes?" He smiled at
me .
" Dude , you're super rich" I looked at him
shocked.
" Is that why my mom chose you?" I
asked him with a shocked voice.
" Hehe. Not only. " His laughed softened ,
" She was my mom's best friend. After
her death , it affected us as well" .
Oh really.
" I never knew about that" .
" Me neither " .
He held my hand and grasped his fingers
between mine. I got closer to him and
he put a hand on face.
His lips were close to mine and his cup
rubbed through my hair .
I went closer and kissed him.
He took in my kiss and pulled me closer
with his hand.
after we broke apart his black eyes were
so close to me. And I sank in them . I
pulled him into another kiss and he
smiled at my kiss.
" We should go now" He whispered on
me .
" yeah "
We got out of the car holding hands and
headed towards the gates.
