Unraveling The Brunette

                             Chapter 5

                         Roman's POV 

The orange glow of the sunset made the whole place look like a fairytale land in a disney.

Now I get why Kelly was so adamant about having an evening wedding at the backyard.

The whole place was decorated with flowers of different types and rafters all strung together to form different beautiful shapes. The lighting was one of a kind with some sort of detailed repetitive pattern.

Aside the decorations, Kelly was really a sight to behold.

The vintage white gown looked like it was custom made for her and the bouquet in her hands was really large.

Chris is one lucky bastard 

I couldn't blame him for weeping like a kid at the sight of his beautiful bride 

But I still didn't miss the opportunity to tease him 

They said their vows, each saying “I do” with so much enthusiasm that I almost wanted to gag at their silly faces

I guess I'll never understand how people find this thing called love 

It was now the reception 

The room was crowded with people chatting amongst themselves, each with a glass of champagne in their hands.

The room was also beautiful decorated that it occupied 50% of people's conversation but my mind did nothing to appreciate the decor as it was occupied on a certain brunette 

She had managed to weave herself into my life 

Our little chit chat earlier at the corridor had got me so worked up

Her sharp mouth could get her into trouble 

Her eyes shone with fire but at the same time, a flicker of fear crossed her features 

How could someone be sassy and at the same time shy?

That brunette was a mystery that I planned on unraveling 

Just a few words with her and my cock was throbbing, needing a release inside her and the tight dress that showed all her curves was not helping.

All I wanted to do was take her right there in that corridor but I still had a sane mind so I walked away instead to take care of my blue balls 

This woman would be the death of me 

Scanning the crowded room for a while, I spot her standing beside Kelly who was chatting with a 

scrawny guy.

The guy seemed to be rather interested in my brunette, looking at her with so much admiration.

My blood boiled but a sense of comfort engulfed me as I noticed that brunette seemed uncomfortable with him 

Without hesitation, I marched with long strides to rescue her 

She could deny it all she wants but she'll always be my damsel in distress 

I stopped in front of them putting on my best megawatt grin and Kelly's attention immediately turned to me with a dazzling smile on her face 

“If it isn't the newest bride” I announce taking my hands out of my slacks as Kelly engulfs me in a warm embrace 

“Awwwwn” Kelly cooed with a pat on my back. “You're just so sweet Romie” She added that stupid nickname knowing how much I hate me 

This woman could annoy me to my death 

I wonder how Chris keeps up with her

Good thing I wasn't here to see her 

My eyes meet with my object of interest, the scrawny guy still trying to gain her attention 

“Nice meeting you, Kelly and..” I pause 

“Oh! Forgive my manners, Roman this is India…India Seethal “ She said grabbing brunette's hand

India Seethal 

I could finally put a name to that pretty face 

“Indy, this is Roman Alkali “ She concludes gesturing back and forth 

“Nice to meet you again, India Seethal “ I roll out her name in a seductive manner with a purposeful smirk on my face while thrusting my hand out for a handshake 

Her soft hands brush mine and this simple acts reignites the connection between us.

Certain body parts in me flutter as I make contact with her 

I realize how cold my hand is compared to her warm ones 

Her gaze locks with mine but it drops to my lips and I don't find it hard to guess where her line of thought is 

“My pleasure” She spoke out softly bringing me out of my dirty thoughts 

“Woah Woah Woah” Kelly began mischievously “ Again? That means you've met before now?” She asks facing India 

“I…Well we met…not like that but…” she stutters off and I cut in to save her from Kelly's inquisitive stare 

“Got lost trying to find where the fuck the bathroom was and she helped me” I blurt out which is not totally a lie 

I was searching for the bathroom and then I got lost before meeting the helpless brunette who was struggling with wearing heels 

Kelly does not look so convinced and I'm certain that she'll be squeezing answers out of India the second I leave here 

I put her in this tight spot so it's only right if I get her out of it 

“Hey India, would you do me the honor of dancing with me” I asked softly with my hands stretched out 

India seems to consider my request as she glances at Kelly and after seeing that all knowing look on her face, she laces her hands with mine and I drag her away 

I look over at Kelly to see her fuming while I had a good laugh 

Kelly 0

Roman 1

Watching the damsel in my arms, I get carried away 

Her eyes are searching everywhere but me 

Twirling her for a bit, I settle her in my arms, my hands on the small of her back as I drink in her beauty once again 

Her green orbs seem to brighten my life 

Her lips stiffen in what looks like annoyance 

Oh sweetie,

This is just the tip of the iceberg 

I plan to annoy your panties off you 

“Don't I atleast deserve a thank you” I ask trying to make a conversation while she sways in my arms 

“For making it look like we've known each other for ages but keeping it a secret from Kelly?” She retorted glaring daggers at me 

“Fair enough” I reasoned “But you know I did save you from her follow up interrogation” I state with a cocky grin 

“As if I could escape Kelly's questions forever?” She scoffed rolling her eyes which I found adorable 

Adorable?!

“You could just make up something” I said soothingly 

My hands brush down her arm and she shivered in response as a wicked smile made it way to my lips 

It's good to know that I'm not the only one who's affected 

“You didn't seem too comfortable with him” I start off studying every expression that makes Its way to her face 

“With who?” She questions seeming puzzled 

“The guy who you were in a conversation earlier, scrawny looking with piercings and curly hair, ring a bell?” I try to describe him 

“Oh!” She exclaims in realization. “ He's just a loyal fan” She says with a sigh 

“I'm sorry fan?!” I ask not trying to show my surprise but failing 

“Are you some sort of secret Mariah Carey or something?” I ask searching desperately for answers 

But all she did was break into a fit of laughter 

This was my first time seeing her laugh genuinely and it was melodious 

She threw her head back with reckless abandon while her shoulders shook as she cracked up a laugh 

“That's very funny you know, I actually love Mariah Carey but you thinking I'm some sort of secret singer? Nah, that's too far “ She replied without looking shy

“You know the fact that you don't know who I am makes me feel even more comfortable with you “ She continued now looking directly at me 

So she was comfortable with me?

“Who are you India Seethal?” I ask itching to know the woman who always blew hot and cold

“How about you find out for yourself” She said, her voice purring with desire and her eyes filled with undeniable want while her hands glided all the way down to the button of my shirt 

Jesus!

I wasn't bluffing when I said that this woman will be the death of me 

One minute, she's shy and the next, she unveiling all her claws at me like a wild kitten 

I can't wait another second to not go with the flow before her other side will kick in and she'll scurry off like a scaredy cat 

“Then I'll suggest we get out of here, not sure I need Kelly's ever curious eyes on me” I say and she stiffened as if I had struck a nerve 

There goes my plans with her 

A glimmer of hope shines as she gives me a bold and beautiful smile that enhances her features 

“Yeah, let's get outta here” She agrees and I don't need to be told twice as I grab her hands and made use of the exit 

I am about to unravel this mystery brunette who has weaved her way into my life and I can't fucking wait!
