As we entered our house,I took every opportunity to get up close to her...touching her shoulder on the pretext of leading her to a room or holding her hands to show her the way to the little balcony. She didn't seem to mind, and I didn't bother to ask if she did.
"What a sprawling house! Your father must be minting money to own this sort of an apartment in South Bombay."
" Yeah.." I hate this as I said. It is kind of intimidating.
" He's working in Risk Management for Swiss Re."
"Damn! WHat The...what is he? A Harvard bred or what?"
"He's an Mtech from IIT Kharagpur."
"Oh..wow...what's your full name though?"
"Ramm Iyer"
"ohhh.. you southies are always good at studies na?"
I honestly didn't like that statement. Made me look like i'm a member of some bookworm club. I said nothing...just nodded my head.
"Is that your guitar?" She asked moving over to the Godin LG Guitar on my wall. It's black body perfectly blended with the off white colour of the wall.
"You play as well? Ya aise hi dikhawa hai?" She asked me smiling. That wa s a cue. I had to show off something. Something to make her stay.
"Does the beautiful lady have a special request that I can try and play?" I said stylishly taking the guitar in position.
"Hmm..let's see..WORDS? That It's Only Words..Song?"
"Perfect...and couldn't ask for a more beautiful moment and woman to inspire me to play"
She blushed. I hit the right spot. I just had to play it well now. Pun intended!
What she did not expect was that I was also a pretty good singer. Again, I was just good enough to represent Xaviers in some Solo or group music events, but nothing bigger than that. I coull see she was impressed, and with every string i pressed down, I could sense the temparature of the room going up. Every chord I played struck a chord between us. She moved on the bed she was seated. I was familiar with that. She managed a smile on her face and pretended to listen with rapt attention...But I knew her mind was lost. And I prayed I occupied the space of her thoughts.
When I was done, I put the guitar away as she put her hands together in ovation. I moved closer to her- very casually as if nothing was intended. I walked up close enough to feel her perfume intoxicate me. Our eyes met again, but she looked away,then down, and looked back at me. She didn't want to face me, cos that would flush her face even more.
" I deserve more than just a round of applause Riya, Don't you think?" This time my hands were on her shoulders, holding her firmly. It was strange that I was so bold with a woman I knew only for a couple of days. Her eyes met mine. Before we knew, I tasted her lipstick and was exploring her tongue.Electrifying was the word! My hands had now moved up to her face.
She broke the kiss suddenly and just stepped back...still panting..
"I..(puff)..AM ..s.ssory! I ..I just...I..Don't..uh..huh..."
I sensed from the way she kissed back this was not her first. Maybe it was the speed of the developments of the evening. I had to think of something. One thing I knew was I couldn't let her go.
" Riyyaa...it's ok...fine..just sit down, will you please?"
"Ramm, I..I dunno...I..."
"It's fine... You need water?" I said handing over a bottle in my room. "Let's just watch TV ok? Relax."
" Ok..I think that would be good."
I switched on the TV even as I hung up my guitar back on the wall. I got back up in bed, careful not to scare her, but trying to place myself reasonably close to her. It by default showed up the last viewed channel, but it was something I was not interested in. I didn't try and see who won the pole position for the race tomorrow. I immediately flipped channels and switched on Star Movies.I was hoping there would be some action out there- and I obviosuly didn't mean the ones starring Stallone or Schwarznegger.
Much to my delight, HBO was airing the Jennifer Grey & Patrick Swayze starrer Dirty Dancing at the time. While the movie is pretty neat, this time it was apt to cool the situation off; or rather otherwise dare I say.We hadn't missed much of the movie, and as such I didn't care much.
I was leaning on the pillow on the bed while she was leaning her back againt half of my pillow. I am not sure if she did this purposely, but I enjoyed the view of her arched back. I tried not to stare, but caught occasional glances at her. Every minute of the dance practise scene between "Baby" & "Johnny" sent the mercury levels soaring in the room. Riya struggled to sit straight. I looked at her and she looked back at me. No further words were needed to be exchanged.
Dirty Dancing had done its job. She kissed me on my lip gently first. Then she explored in greater depth as she laid her weight upon me. We kissed as if there was no tomorrow. Time just stopped for us..and time did not matter either. We were lost in passion ignited a couple of days ago. And We enjoyed being lost in each other's arms.
"That's sequin work you have on ur top and skirt, isnt it?"
" Yes..You like it?"
" Not really..."
"Oh..then what are you waiting for..?"
I didn't need any more invitation. My friend 6 Tonne used to say: "Laxmi aur ladki ke liye kabhi na nahi kehte." (Wealth and women are always welcome)
Within moments, the floor of my room was a mess, what with clothes strewn around. I raised the volume of the TV, lest the neighbors hear us! We were sweating despite the AC being on-She smelled like a million roses. Her skin was honey smooth. The fullness of her lips ensured I don;t stay away from them for long. Her hair, though not quite smooth, smelled good. I was lost...Only this time the images from my fantasy land came true.
We lied down together on the bed after the act, and just gazed at the TV. We had no idea when it got switched off. We lay in absolute silence as we allowed the feeling of content to sink in.
"twas wonderful...I almost had a tear in my eye when I...Oh..Thanks! I can't tell you how I am feeling."
"Same here Riya.. Every moment is going to be cherished for a long time..."
We got closer, and gently kissed on the lips. Gentle turned into wild within seconds as I took control of her body this time. She didn't open her eyes even for a second, and that was a proof of just how good a time we were having. And definitely not regretting it.
We skipped dinner that night. I had my dessert though :)! The clock read 10:o Clock. And Riya was sitting on the edge of the bed, half dressed.
"Do you have somewhere to go?"
"No..just that Im feeling a bit cold..its 10, can we get up and have something? I'm hungry."
"Hungry for more?" I laughed out.
She hit me playfully with her skirt that she had in hand, "Chup! Chal Uth!" and she proceeded to the washroom. I got up and followed her in there. Forty-five minutes later, we both came out after brushing our teeth. Her skirt was in my hand.
We sat on the couch in the hall as we sipped onto coffee. "This has by far been the best day of my life sweety.." She said as I was playing with her hair.
Beep..Riya got up to fetch my cell phone. She read the message.
'Where are you yaar? I thought you would give me a call at least in the night! U missed the lectures again yaar, and i missed you..Call me..am at home now.'
"Is this Rain female your girlfriend?"
"What? No...What makes you think so?" I exclaimed as I snatched the phone from her.
"Well, the language of her message suggests so."
"No re baba...nothing of that sort. Saying this, I went to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
When I came out, she was all dressed. Except that her skirt still slid above her knee as she sat on the couch with her legs crossed. She walked up to me and hugged me. I didn't know how to react. Thi hug was more of an emotional one. And i wasn't ready for anything of that sort. She kissed me on the lips and said,
" Ramm, thanks for a wonderful night. and evening too. I hate to say this but i have to leave."
"can't you stay for some more time?"
"No sweetheart, but how about dinner together? Let's go to Khyber, what say?"
"Ok..sounds good" i didn't sound too excited. I got dressed up to drop her off. Another kiss, and hug later, We left the house. I dropped her at Churchgate. I saw walking off as I recapped the events of the night. I took my phone out and called Rain. Busy. I tried a couple of times more, and when she still was on another call, I just rode to her place.
FINAL Part Soon...
