Our journey from engagement to marriage by Shipra Saini (thriller book recommendations TXT) 📖

"What happened...?" I asked. My voice was mere a whisper but it was enough for him to hear.

"Nothing..." He hold my both hands in his and turn around to face me.

"Did I do something?" I asked while bending my head down.

He lifted my chin up, made me look at him.

"I wanted to spend some alone time with you. The thought of you attending the function made me upset. Preeti, we still have months for our wedding and till I am here I want to spend every second with you. I know I am being a hypocrite but.." I put my on his lips preventing him to say further.

"I want the same." I said with blushing smile and looked down while chuckling softly for my little confession. He removed my hand from his mouth slowly and looked at me with different emotions.

He again lifted my face holding my chin and then rest his hand on my cheek, caressing it lovingly.

"Then don't go. Anshul and keerti will go. You stay here with me." He asked with hope in his eyes.

"I have to.." I said and again his face fell. I cupped his right cheek lovingly and said, "Come with us..." I took a little pause and continue, " For me...."
I touched our foreheads and we both closed our eyes. We both stood there like this for some time and a comfortable silence fell between us.

"Can I do something..?" He asked in a whisper still closing his eyes and I nodded my head.

He leaned down to my cheek and give a soft kiss there. His hands slowly made contacts to my waist and he firmly pulled me towards him. My hands automatically went to his shoulders, balancing my self. He traces the kisses from my cheeks to my jaw and gasped when his lips touched my neck. Every time his lips made contacts to my neck I felt something build inside my stomach and I want him to continue this. Though it wasn't a suck just a kiss but still it manages to give butterflies in my stomach.

But we should stop here right now if we don't want to get late.

"Siddharth..we would be late." The last word came out as moan when he bit lightly on my neck. He inhaled deeply and touched our foreheads again.

"Give me five minutes. I'll join you downstairs."

Keerti, Anshul and I, we all are waiting for Siddharth come downstairs and when he came wearing the black coat and trouser suit with black tie, I could not move my eyes from him. He was looking hot and he knew that because he was smirking looking at me when he caught me checking him out.

Sometimes I could not believe myself that I have such a hot and sexy fiancée.

We all settled inside Siddharth's car. Anshul took the passenger seat while Keerti and I took back seat. Siddharth settled himself on the driving seat adjusting the rear view mirror, looking at me through it while driving , making my eyelids drop when I blushed under his gaze.

We all reached the venue and congratulated to the bride whose hands are cladded with henna. I talked to mummy's friend and I introduce her with Siddharth as my fiancée with my red cheeks. She congratulated us and give her blessings. Both keerti and Anshul enjoying the free food while Siddharth stick to my side in whole event. Some girls pushed Keerti and I into the dance floor and insist us to dance with them. I danced on a Bollywood song with keerti but forget that someone was watching me and when I realised that, I am being watched, I ran from there while smiling. This is not the first time he caught me dancing. He already caught me dancing in kitchen and made the vedio of it.

I breathing rapidly when I stopped in a corner smiling stupidly. My phone rings and  I pick it immediately when I saw its from Anshul.

"I forgot the gift in the car. Will you bring it? I asked Siddharth jiju and he is coming to you." Anshul said with apology dripping from his voice. Anshul took the gift from me earlier as he want to show off that he brings the gift for the bride but my idiot brother forget it in the car.

"Okay..." I cut the call and walked towards the car. I was walking while looking down when I bumped to someone. I looked up and it was Kunal bride's brother. I know him because he sometimes visit my home.

"Hey, Preeti..." He looked nervous when he was talking to me. I looked around and the parking lot was empty only few people were standing far from us.

"Hii.." I smiled.

"You are looking beautiful." He said while looking at me and then chuckled nervously. My cheeks turn pink.

"Thankyou" I said. I am not used to of compliments.

"Preeti, there is something I want yo ask you for a long time. Can I ask you?" He asked and I nodded my head positively. I wonder what he wants to ask me.

He chuckled nervously and rub his nape nervously.

"Preeti...will...wi...will you be my gi..."

"Here you are I was looking for you everywhere." Suddenly a manly hand encircled around my bare waist and with the warmth I feel I know who it was. I looked to my right and Siddharth was standing there giving death glares to Kunal. I slowly removed Siddharth's hand from my bare waist as I am not used to of the public affection. We did a lot thing in private but I still feel shy to show my love to Siddharth in public. But again put his hand on my bare waist and pulled me to him, locking me in his arms.

"Who you are by the way?" Kunal asked Siddharth.

"Her fiancé. Do have any problem?" Siddharth said through his greeted teeth and crook his one eyebrow.

"No..." Kunal didn't say anything and left from there. Siddharth cursed under his breath and looked at me.

"You should not come here alone. Anshul told you I was coming to you. Then why did you leave alone." He scolded me.

"I am not a baby.." He can not scold me every time he want.

"I can see that." He said through his greeted teeth and then lifted me in a bridal style.

"Siddharth what are you doing?" I asked while wiggling in his arms.

"Giving you a punishment for being so careless." He said while walking towards his car.
