Chapter 54
Heer stood in front of the mirror, and ran a critical eye over herself, as she adjusted the pleats of the silk chiffon saree she was wearing. It was dull yellow color, the border and pallu embroidered with rich zari work, she had fallen in love with it on one of her and Ash's shopping trips. The sleeveless blouse was made of plain silk, same shade as the saree, with a deep cut in the back. Heer had been a little skeptical about having so much of bare skin showing, but Ash had assured her that it was pretty common and that it was almost tame compared to what the other women would probably wear to parties like these. She had decided to give her cousin the benefit of doubt, hoping she knew what she was talking about. Heer kept her make up to bare minimum; eyeliner to highlight her eyes and a touch of bronze lipstick. The only jewelry she wore were long earrings, pearls set in an intricate gold design, with a pair of bangles that matched. Gayatri had insisted that she wear them, considering how well it matched her saree. Brushing her hair, she left it loose, to fall straight as rain around her shoulders. A dab of perfume and Heer decided she was ready to face whatever was out there.
WOW!....i cood jus imagine her right now....bet she's lookin drop dead gorgeous...prem ki tho hosh udne wala hai....๐She walked down the stairs, knowing full well that all the others had left, with the exception of Preet, who had been running late. Lalit had looked ready to blow a fuse, so Heer had stepped in and assured him that she and Preet would soon follow.A sigh of relief went up when Heer saw Preet downstairs, looking sullen. "Whoever came up with this monkey suit idea needs to be shot," hahahahaha monkey suit?...omg!...i luv preet!...he muttered, fidgeting with the cuff links. He looked really handsome, wearing a deep grey suit and white shirt. Heer realized that this was also the first time she had seem him dressed so formally.
"You look very smart," she said, taking hold of his wrist to fix the cuff. He gave her a look of deep suffering that she had to laugh at. "Think of all the women who will be swooning at the sight of you," she consoled, working on other wrist he held out. "There is something to be said for a guy in a suit. Ok, all done." i think all the women will be swooning too...lol...and ther is something absolutely heartmelting about a guy in a suit....*sigh*
"Is that why you fancy my brother, because he looks good in a suit?" Preet asked. The grin he gave her was pure mischief. naughty preet..๐...but he has a point...
"Well," she said, tilting her head to one side, as if thinking. "I would have to give him some points for that some points?...girl i give a 100% for how he looks in a suit....man oh man i need to stop right here...or else i'll start going on n on bout prem in a suit...lol
"And what else do I get points for?" a familiar voice drawled from behind. ๐
Heer whipped her head around so fast, that for a second she thought she had sprained it. Color rose to her cheeks as she saw Prem leaning against the balustrade, watching her with a smile playing on his lips. hai mein mar jawan!.... "What are you doing here?" and straightening her shoulder added, "This was supposed to be a private conversation." Heer's surprise swiftly changed to a jolt in the pit of her stomach, at the sight of him in a black suit, a pale blue shirt with a striped tie. Every inch of him looked like a man, bred to wear power and confidence with ease. oh wow.....oh WOW....wat an amazing line....i'm in love with this part..."bred to wear power and confidence with ease"....somebody get me water...i'm about to faint...lol
"I'd like to know, nonetheless," he said, staring at her with the same intensity as she was currently bestowing him.
Preet cleared his throat. "I think I'll go wait outside." As he left, he had to admit that everyone at home had buttons for eyes if they hadn't noticed how the air practically thrummed with tension when these two were in the same room. how can u not notice the change in temperature whenever these two are together....
"We'll are going to be late," Heer whispered a little breathlessly, eyes wide.
Prem didn't answer, but his gaze roamed the length of her, taking in the way the saree molded her curves, the tiny telltale of her pulse beating at the throat, telling him just how his attention was affecting her. "That is probably the sexiest thing you have worn by far." WHOA!...have i told u before that i absolutely LOVE the prem in this fic?....he's so SEXY and i LOVE how he isnt shy and all....
Heer smiled a little. "Thank you. That is a marked improvement from the last time." atta girl!
He bowed his head in acknowledgement and grinned. He took her hand and placed it in the crook of his arm. "Shall we?"
Preet was leaning against the car as he watched them both. "Not a word," Prem warned his brother, who only raised his hands and grinned at them. Heer opted to sit in the back, happy to quietly listen to Preet talk about his new assignment. They first stopped to pick up Ash, who was a few minutes late coming down. And when she finally did, Heer watched her cousin, thinking how stunning she looked in white. The chudidar top seemed to have silver threads shot through it, for it shimmered when she walked and the tiny straps that held it up left her shoulders bare. Her hair had been tied back to accentuate her long neck and show off her pretty earrings.
"Do you know how long we have been waiting?" Preet asked as soon as he saw her.
"Sorry," Ash said a little breathlessly as she scrambled in the back. "I was cornered by a nosy neighbor." She turned to look at Heer fully. "Oh, you look so beautiful!" she exclaimed. "Doesn't she?" she asked Prem, almost daring him to argue with her.
His eyes met Heer's in the rearview mirror and held for a moment. "She does, but then so do you. Well worth the wait," he added, smiling. he's smooth...really smooth...๐
Ash sighed and held a hand over her heart. "You seriously need to give your brother some lessons." hahahahaha!...luv tat part...
"I think he was trying to find the right words to describe how stunning you look," Heer spoke up in defense of Preet. i bet he was...she must be lookin so pretty....tho i'm a preet/meher fan...i like preet/ash in ur fic
"I won't hold my breath," Ash huffed.
"Please don't. I don't know how to administer CPR."
"We'll just add it to the list of all the things you don't know then."
"Children, no fighting," Prem said, loudly, thus ending the argument.
While Ash and Heer admired the dcor, walking through the foyer of the Royal Meridien, Preet asked his brother, "Do you think dad wouldn't have noticed we are late?"
"Are you kidding? Let's just hope that mom has him under control," Prem murmured. hahahaha omg i luv ur sense of humor....u make prem n preet sound like such fun people....and their relationship with each other is amazing....
As they neared the ballroom, it was evident that quite a few of their guests had already arrived. Thankfully, it was dimly lit inside, and no harsh glaring lights were visible, Heer thought. Walking late into a room full of people was something that she was averse to.
"Hopefully we can sneak in unnoticed," Preet murmured, the same thought having occurred to him too. "I think I am going to have a drink before I feel calm enough to face this lot." With that said he grabbed Ash's hand and walked in. Heer was about to do the same when the sight of a slim figure and froze. She clutched Prem's arm and shifted to stand behind him. "What is she doing here?" she hissed furiously.
"What are you talking about?" Prem asked, trying to see who had this effect on her.
"Anita," Heer bit out. "Why did you invite her?" Her eyes flashed.
"Oh," he said sounding almost relieved. "She helped out with organizing, so I had to."
"I don't like her," she blurted, looking up, when Prem turned to face her.
"What? Miss sunshine actually disliking someone?" He was laughing at her.
"I am entitled," Heer said, turning up her nose. "So make sure you keep her away from me."
"What do you suggest I do? Follow her around?" The sarcasm wasn't missed.
When he put it that way, it did sound silly. "Fine'I'll see you later then." She stepped away from Prem and gave him a fleeting smile, before making her way inside. To her relief Gayatri was the first person to spot her and Heer decided that it just might be fun after all.
