Vegas baby!
Recap:
Rinku and others landed gratefully on Vegas without the plane crashing as Gabe said. They were getting ready for the bachelorette party!
Both Rae and Rinku got dolled up when somebody knocked the door.
Rinku went and opened the door.
"Amorrr youu look like a fashionistaaa!" Said Gloria who was at the door.
"Denks' you look dazzling girl! " Said Rinku letting her in.
"Mamma mia! Who's going to get into Havana Rae Davenport's pants? " Said Glo who was dancing weirdly.
"It has always been our short term goal to come to Vegas and loose our * card here." Said Rae little emotional.
"So who's telling me that they are a fresh chick? " Said Rinku changing the subject. "Someone told me that she had a boyfriend." She said laughing.
"So you believed me? Huh? " Said Rae laughing.
"Señoritas! We are going to a freaking party! Get the hell out of here." Said Glo
"Okay. Okay. Chill Gloria Pritchett! " Said Rae taking her veil in her hand
"And Rinku i must know your last name." Said Rae laughing as she locked the door.
"Actually that's not usual having surnames in India except in North India. But we do have our father's or grandpa's name at back." Said Rinku as she got into lift. "In my certificates its always been Rinku venkat. I mean Rinu Kalyani Uthra. Beleive me i don't like this name."
"Oh it's nice, Rinku. Anyways i wanna hear your name-story later." Said Rae.
Gloria was whole serious about this marriage, so she always was stressed looking at her bag, checking notifications and all.
"Gloria, don't be so tensed. Now gimme your phone." Said Rae.
"No no, my sister's friends will be calling me in no time. I should have this." said Glo.
"I said give it to me." Said Rae grabbing her hand
"Nobody can disobey the Davenport. Here is it. But do not check my insta." Said Glo handing it.
"Okey dockey." Said Rae.
The lift finally raleached the ground floor.
A handsome man was standing before the hotel desk talking to one of the staffs.
And it was none other than The Gabriel Adriguez.
He was dressed in a black leather jacket which was definitely bought in Balmain.
It showed off some mafia vibes. Ughh i wanna get that man and the jacket.
As soon as the lift sounded that alarming sound, he turned around to see who it was.
He turned with the hands in his pockets and his hair looked natural. That dirty blonde hair was curled up slightly and those hazel eyes! Oh boy, he is something! He wore a simple silver chain with a cute unseen turtle neck. He wore a pant which had some tiny chains hanging here and there.
"You look like a man now." Said Rae coming out of the lift with her veils in the hands.
"Hehe. You all look gorgeous." said Gabe looking at Rinku for five more extra seconds.
"Let's go. The limo should be here now." Said Glo as she scampered out of the hotel
"You didn't! " Said Rae jumping.
"Ofcourse i did! " Said Glo
"Yo Rae you own one! " Said Gabe fake laughing.
"That's not pleasurable, buddy." Said Rae.
Rae went with Glo to check with the limo.
Again it was Rinku and Gabe. Alone.
"So..." Said Gabe unknowing what to speak.
"So... Did i just know that my best friend owns a Limo? " Asked Rinku.
"Yeah, she kinda does. Cause she's a Davenport."
"Who are the Davenports anyway? "
"Haven't heard?Cause you are a dumbhead. They are like one of the richest people or family in US" said Gabe.
"That means? "
"That means, your Havana is none other than a multi millionaire teen."
"What? "
"Yeah, but she doesn't like to talk about it. It's like, complicated. "
"So I'm just knowing that my one of my best friends is a multi-millionaire and the other one is a jerk? "
"First one yes. Second one no. Dont assume, i can't tickle you or chase you because you look cute." Said Gabe.
"So you are telling me that I'm cute? I must be so cute today, as It is hard to hear such a word from Mr. Grumpy?"
"That's it." Said Gabe chasing her.
In her heels, Rinku was not able to run fastly. She was about to fall, while her 3 inch heel screeched the floor. Her fall might ruin everything. Her makeup, dressup, and tanglements.
But Gabriel caught her. He embraced her like a mother whose child is about to fall. He handled her like a new born.
"Don't be such a child, venkat." Said Gabe making her steady.
"You made me, Rodriguez."
" How do you know my surname?" Asks rinku surprised still holding his hands.
"There's this thing called Instagram. You know? "
"So you found my insta ID? what a pervert! " Said Rinku.
"Come on what's there to be a pervert here?" Said Gabe. "Anyways it's cute."
What? Did he just call her last name cute? Omg!
While Rinku was processing all these stuffs he said, Glo and Rae called them out. Which means that their limousine is there!
Gabe took Rinku's hand which was cute and possesive. Rinku felt protected and safe in his hands.
Rae wondered."Whoa, see the teen honey-mooners!"
"Yeah. Our baby is playing there. We are trying for our second. Shut up Havana." Said Gabe.
"You could have bought something else, buddy." Laughed Rinku. But some millimeter of her heart wanted that to become true.
"You couldn't mock her like i did. Learn from me, late bloomer." Said Gabe as the entered the limo.
The butler was standing there opening door for them to go in. It was a very long limo which would have costed a billion. Rinku touched the seat before she sat to feel the luxury of the car.
It felt like she's seated in air. It was freaking light!
"Where's your sister and his fiance?" Asked Rinku, Who was still living her dream.
"Oh, they have gone beforehand." Said Glo adjusting her lipstick through her selfie camera.
"You look awesome babe. No need to worry." Said Rae as she switched seats with Glo, assuring her by giving a great hug.
Damn. She is a great hugger and best friend.
They reached the place while the sun was still setting. The skyline of Vegas was so freaking beautiful. The clouds curled up like they were smiling. Oops that means there will be a downpour soon.
The friends entered the club where peeps where dancing like crazy. "Hey, Penelope, sup?" Asked Glo.
"It's getting helluva fun." Said Penelope half drunk already. Her voice shook in the effect of alcohol.
"I love it! " Said Rinku while her eyes shining like diamond. Gabe caught her looking at the party and him. And slightly shook and tilted his head before making his way to Rinku.
"You asked for it." Said Gabe lending his hands to Rinku inviting her to the dance floor.
Rinku gave her hand and also her soul to him.
Rinku's POV:
I was simply staring at the lights standing near the tequila shots table. I am not sure when to drink it and i don't know if I'm even allowed to do this. But damn. That drink is really attractive. So is Gabe today. I prefer looking at him for hours rather than getting boozed.
Damn. Act cool. Act cool. Oops it's too late. He caught me staring at him though I hope it was not that obvious. I'm doomed.
What? I'm recreating my mother's words. I can't believe i totally forgot about my mother and family back there. How selfish i am right now, Not caring bout my family even a bit. It's been a month and 8 days since this thing happened. This much days, i never really cared what was my mother and father's reaction to yippie there. I never cared. Now, I'm really not proud of my actions. They are my family.
But now I'm having second thoughts. The switch happened without my acknowledge. I really didn't know what's happening. But before I could think of going back someday sooner, he reached to me with his hands. What took him so long? Ofcourse he was standing on the other bank. And this party is very huge. I can't believe Penelope has this much friends.
The currently playing song is echo and i kinda like it.
Damn girl, he is lending you his hands. I have two choices: to take his hand or do something clumsy as always. And guess what, i chose the second one!
But i really didn't take his hands. Instead i just ran away. From him. From the party. From everything i got in America.
Before i acknowledge, I'm standing in the public park without my coat. It's really chill out here. Poor Gabe, i shouldn't have ran from him.
I silently sit in the wooden chair placed right before a Bougainvilla and spread my arms across me, hugging myself. As usual I'm just staring simple at things. You know what? This is nice. Being alone. I was never alone here. Either I'm with Havana, Gabe or Gloria. Yippie's mom is barely home. I feel bad for her. I was always used to people surrounding me and it feels good to be alone now. Also i crave for someone to talk. What's this feeling? I feel like something is missing. I see two besties( i assume) having their teta tete about me. ( Probably wondering how homeless I'm looking right now )
I am thinking about me and Meera. Our meet cute. You know, back in India people used to think of us as lesbians. Cause we were so close and to the worst, i barely talk to her anymore now. I start to laugh at the silly jokes she made. And i start to cry. Tears begin to fall from my eyes. It's like i have lost her.Everything.but this is the life i have always wanted. I was again started to crave someone. While I was thinking of someone, that you know who, texted me."Where are you?"
I didn't reply to that. Cause i don't want him to see me in this state. I quickly wiped the falling tears. But I guess they are in equilibrium. I couldn't stop it. Luckily, not many people are here. And they are minding their own business like making out, even having 'it' there right in the bushes. I couldn't tell cause it's Vegas. I literally can't believe I'm out here all alone, crying in Vegas, while the other people would enjoy and celebrate.
I was looking at our family photo in Yippie's phone. I hated that moment because of Hari. It was taken when i turned 15. He was in sixth grade but still peeing in his pants. I was about to cut my birthday cake, which was my last birthday celebration cause i don't wanna celebrate birthdays after that year. He blowed out my cake saying paati is calling me. When i was gone, he cut my cake and mother was clapping at his so-called cuteness, while I was sobbing with Meera.
Ma said he was just a kid, so she didn't even scold him. I was so mad at her that i didn't eat the cake. The photo captured the moment where I was controlling my tears cause mum would scold me if i cried infront of relatives.
I was standing with pa, while Hari and ma was smiling ear to ear.
I hated that moment. But now, I'm just wanting for that moment to happen again. With mom. Dad. Hari.
Again i wiped my tears off and start to scroll through other photos which Yip has sent me from my phone. I was just laughing like a maniac. I look at my childhood photo where i was clapping. Pa had me in his hands. I was a single child back then. Everyone would present toys and chocolates to me back then.
With those hazel memories, i start to run my thumb across our family photo with tears shedding from my eyes in a lavish manner.
It was a touch. It sent shivers through my body. My body knows who is the owner of this touch. But i hesitate to turn. He slowly came infront of me and tilted my head. "What happened?"
I simply nod meaning nothing happened. "Liar. I know you."
"Nothing." I say as i lock my phone and slide it into my purse.
"I was worried as hell, Riri. It's Vegas. You could get lost easier. And-d I'm not sure whether this city is safe or not." He said taking a seat in my side.
"I'm not a baby."
"I know you are not." Said Gabe. But he wanted to call Rinku his baby right now. But he was afraid that this word would ruin his friendship with her.
"Thank God to this mobile tracking app."
"What? You installed a GPS app in my phone?"
"Well, no. Yippie had told me to install one for her when we four went to Disneyland. But now, it came in handy for me to find you."
"Thankyou."
"I know you don't wanna talk about it. But if you change your mind, this super listener Gabriel Adriguez is here." Said Gabe pulling me into a hug.
This is something serious. I didn't feel a bit of coldness. As i already said he is the son of the sun.
I'm now embraced by his hug, feeling very protected and I'm feeling that he is mine. Forever.
I hug him so tightly and tears start to fall of from my eyes, unexpectedly.
