Love in paris

Birds chirping outside the window, the air is soaked in the scent of rain.

"Good morning! Ren"

I heard a voice from the corner of my room i covered my face with blanket and ignored mom completely.

"Ren wake up! "

"But mom i wanna sleep" i insisted.

"Ren don't be a brat, wake up we gotta leave in an hour, and i swear if we delayed your father is going to make a huge tantrum "

Well she was not wrong... so i woke up and stretched my arms and looked at mom and i saw she was wearing a green silk satin dress and pearls earings with matching purse and i wad confused " Are they coming to see you or me ?" I teased her and she immediately started checking her hair and clothes" why is it too much?" She frowned.

"No mom you're fine, I'm kidding, now give me my outfit I'll go take a bath"

"Look there" she pointed towards the chair where my outfit was.

"Oh my god!" I looked at the door of my room and saw my heart. My bestfriend. "Lukyyyyy" his name is luca but i call him whatever i feel like.

"Call me fab baby" he winked and walk towards me with a judgy look.

"How is it?" I asked him for confirmation after all he knows well...he know what suits me better or what colour would give me that glow.

"Good bye mom I'll take care of her now you can go and check rest of the arrangements" he literally pushed my mom out of the room.

"Bitch!" He turned back and ran towards me with Open arms, we hugged each other for atleast 10 minutes.

"Ohh i missed you my baby, my pretzel" i whinned softly.

"Shut up! You didn't even called me for once , not texts, no contact in the last 15 days but let me tell you jealoused bitch i had fun , like massive fun" he did what he always do showing me the sass with a bonus eye roll.

"Of course you had fun ... it's paris after all"

"Yeah! I mean ren you have to be there for once..ONCE! It was all worth it, the man, the rich french accent, the hands , the lips, the di....."

" Sheeesh idiot! Slow down , i don't want to know about your nasty deeds" i gave a playful whack on his head.

"Yeah since you're so boring " he set his hair and rolled his eyes again.

"Will you style my hair now?"

He then started straightening my hair and added some pearls because it was matching with my pink long gown.

He was continuously yapping about his tour to paris ....and was going insane about it.

"Why are you hiding them just show 'em up!" He pushed my boobies so hard that they begin to hurt.

"Ouch! Maniac what are you doing"

" C'mon you're gonna meet your future husband today don't you wanna show him the treasure he's winning" he shaked his chest with a idiotic smirk.

But that just made me sad and all the fun went out of room.

"See i don't get it why you're getting married so soon , just say no "

"I can't luk, this is my only chance..."

He sat beside me and waited for me to complete it .

I picked up the lipstick and started applying it " no one wanna date me , i know nothing luk, why would someone want me a dumb girl who is a virgin till 24 , I'm literally 24 and know nothing about the most necessary thing of human life , luk i know it's my fault that i never allowed anyone...no one after....." I couldn't control my tears anymore and he hugged me like he always do.

"Don't worry, I'm sure your husband will love you more than anything" he paty head.

"I hope" yes. I had no hopes, he is a business's son, handsome,rich, and dad's partner. That's it that's how much i know about him.

"Serene are you ready baby?" Dad called me from the hallway and luka reply with a loud yes.

"Let's do it with confidence, okay?" luka gave me assured look.

I couldn't say anything cause I'm feeling nervous as hell now... what will i say...will he like me ? Will he judge me? I checked myself in the mirror again and looked at luka he gave me nod with a tense smile.

We both went downstairs, i looked at the couch; A couple in their 60s were there , The lady was wearing a slick black dress and a Celine bag resting at her side. On the other hand the man was in a black suit, With a confident smile on his face... I looked at the man sitting on the adjacent couch wearing a black suit similar to his father and was tapping in his phone with a frown, he didn't looked in my direction even once. I reached them and greeted them with a subtle smile , I looked in mom's eyes and she tilted her head , signalling me to sit beside her , i sat on mom's side and looked at the man but he was still busy in his phone.

"Ron" his mom called him.

He put his phone aside and still ,didn't looked at me .

"She's there by the way , the girl you're supposed to meet" luk made a witty remark which made ron a bit uncomfortable...but he finally looked at me. And i forgot how to breathe.

" Hey" he didn't even tried to hide the fact that he was checking me out...he looked from hair to toe and back to my eyes ... suddenly i became concious under his gaze.

My mom nudged me "say hii" she whispered.

"Hii" i looked at luk he gave me patient smile.

"You should show him around ren " The enthusiasm in my dad's voice was killing me.

He got up... And I looked at luk with a lot of confusion in my eyes ....he tilted his head toward the garden door ....and we proceed there.

We walked for a while, then ron decided to speak something " do you like him?"

I was confused, the last time i liked someone was 5 years back, and now he's suddenly asking me if i like him...him who??

"What?" I squint my eyes.

"The guy, in the room...he was pretty protective about you and .....even you looked at him after every sentence you spoke.

"Ohh luk?..... noooo i do not like him , i mean, i do but not in that way he's my bestfriend that's it " i laughed at the irony.

"Bestfriend?" He was definately not believing me.

" He's into boys ...so even if I like him he won't like me back" i cleared the misconceptions in the room.

" Ohh, I'm sorry" he looked guilty for asking that... so, i immediately said it's okay .

"Sooo..... you like something?.... hobbies or something?" I tried to made a conversation.

"Yeah, horse riding, golf are things which i like.

Boring.

"Oh! that's very intresting" i had to say this.

"How many kids do you want?"

"Umm.... painting, gardening...wait what? "

"Huh?" He looked at me all confused.

"Huh?" I was in shock.

"Okay let's continue on whatever you were saying.. painting and...?"

What does he mean by 'whatever'.... was he even listening?

"I never thought of kids" i said boldly though i was hella uncomfortable talking about this.

"Hmmmm! I want atleast 5 "

5???? the fuck is wrong with him???

I nodded .

" You know kids brings happiness and i want a lot of it ..... when you have a lot of kids, you don't have much time to worry about the missing love in the marriage "

My heart sank.

"Love is the base of marriage...and kids are the proof of their parent's love " my tone was monotonous

"Not in arrange marriages " he scoffed.

"Why are you doing this marriage....?" The question slipped out of mouth.

"For my parents, to give then their heirs"

"Ohh....so you never fell in love?"

" I'm 27" he said it like it was obvious that he did ....

"So... not marrying the love of your life?"

""She died, in a car accident"

"I'm sorry" ohh i feel bad for asking.

He cleared his throat and looked at me.

" So, you wanna do this?

Like i have any other option.

" Let's go inside" i turn around and rushed towards the hallway.

He followed and soon matched my pace. We were walking side by side and he suddenly decide to ask me something which always triggers my insecurities.

"I'm not virgin....and you? .... actually don't answer it, if you don't want to...i just wanted to make things clear "

And i decided to stay quiet. I can't make a fool out of myself by telling him that Yess I'm virgin.

We finnally reached the hallway and entered the room where everyone was.

"Here they are" my dad stood up from couch and looked at me with hope in his eyes.

"So, what have you decided?" Ron's dad asked him.

"It's a yes for me" ofcourse... because you want a kids machine.

Everyone looked at me and i couldn't say anything...i became so overwhelmed by everything that i ended up nodding .

My mom hugged me...dad hugged his dad, everyone was happy...i looked at luk he was looking at me with a stern face....he knew what's going on in my head.

"Congratulations!" Ron ask me for my hand.

I smiled and gave him my hand...he gently kissed on back of my hand. And now I'm dizzy.

"Why would you do that? Have you lost it?...he literally told you that he want 5 fucking kids ... .5? What is he going do with all of them? And you said yes? .....oh god I'm gonna die. And he's not even planning on falling in love with you he's treating you like a bloody deal" i was laying in my bed, looking at ceiling and wondering about my future and here luk was screaming on the top of his lungs... he's not wrong though.

"Now you're going to be like this miss madona? Say something you idiot, I'm gonna kill you....you know i saw a literal fairy in paris he was masculine, handsome, gentlemen everything.... But was straight. Still I manged to have his number for you.... but you gave me a news of you getting married...like hell! such a loss of a handsome guy.....i thought I'm gonna make you loose your virginity with him....but you want to be with a man who just wanna make babies"

"He even asked me if I'm virgin?"

"WHAT THE HELL! How rude of him....tell me you didn't answer him"

"I didn't..what was I supposed to say ...that yes i am...he would have laughed at me "

Luk took my hands and pulled me to sit

" I have an idea!" He smiled mischievously.

"What"

"Should we ask your dad for sponsoring a vacation in paris for us ? You can ask him for a pre- wedding gift.... what say?"

"Have you lost it luk , that's not possible "

"But why? We gonna have fun.... c'mon, a little fun won't hurt anyone and whatever we'll do in paris will stay in paris....just say yessss..... it's your chance to live your life to the fullest, after that you can take care of your idiot husband and his 5 kids"

I'm so confused, should i consider it....?

"Okay, let's go" what?... did i just said it?

The fuck is wrong with me??.....
