RAASHI
That fake kissâ¦she couldnât get it out of her mind. Sheâd spent all night sneaking glances at his mouth and wishing she could get another taste. A real one, this time. A heated flush had her turning away from Harsh and towards Aadhya who was sitting on her other side.
Aadhyaâs curls were having a very bad hair day. The breeze that was stronger than normal that night had it standing up in a riotous mess on her head. She looked like a witch in the middle of casting a spell.
âWant a scrunchie?â Raashi offered watching Aadhya battle to keep the hair out of her face. She dug her spare one out of her tracks pocket and held it out.
âThanks.â Aadhya took the satin band gratefully, grabbing her hair in a chokehold and tying it up.
âI love your hair,â Raashi said wistfully.
âYouâre joking right?â Aadhya was still wrestling her hair into submission, rebellious curls slipping out of her grasp.
âIt has character.â She fingered her own limp, straight strands. âMine on the other hand mimics limp, wet noodles.â
Aadhya laughed, a full-bodied throaty chuckle that had Raashi smiling back. There was something about Aadhyaâs confident fire that had always drawn her to the other woman. Raashi had the fire. She just didnât have the confidence.
Today had been full throttle. From her day at the salon to the engagement party to that kiss, no not the kissâ¦she was not going to think about the kiss anymore. From the engagement party to this hang out on the terrace, it was a lot of peopling. Raashi didnât normally people so much and now she was starting to feel peopled out.
âMarrying Harsh Kodela,â Aadhya mused from beside her. âThatâs a whole vibe right there.â
Raashi bristled, her cranky pants side coming to the fore. âWhatâs that supposed to mean?â
âEasy,â Aadhya laughed. âHeâs my friend. A great friend but thatâs all. I just meant,â Aadhya waved a hand in a circle in Harshâs direction. âThatâs a whole vibe. Being married to him is going to be a roller coaster.â
Raashiâs hackles subsided. âA roller coaster on LSD,â she muttered.
Aadhya stretched out beside Raashi, her maroon jumpsuit beautifully accentuating her brown skin and the long, lean body beneath it. Raashi truly was jealous of how supremely comfortable and intrinsically fashionable Aadhya was. Ram glanced over at them, his face darkening. Raashi frowned at the disapproval darkening his face.
âAre you ready for the ride?â Aadhya asked, drawing her attention back. When Raashi continued frowning at her, confusion deepening, Aadhya added, âFor the roller coaster that is Harsh.â
âNo,â Raashi replied honestly. âBut Iâll make sure I stay buckled up for the ride.â
Aadhya grinned, tipping her beer bottle to Raashi in a toast. âIâll be your ride or die.â
A soft glow lit up in the pit of Raashiâs belly. âYou will?â she asked.
All her life, all sheâd had were her siblings. She doubted there was anybody else in this world who loved her, truly loved her. She had been too prickly, too strange, too nerdy to make too many good friends.
