Almost Perfect Vacation CHAPTER 9
ARYAI didn’t know why but tears kept pouring down my cheeks today. Sri, who had given me an earful for my incandescent behavior, had left for the evening. She was going to spend the night at Ajit’s, her long term boyfriend and fiancé. Raghu too was out with his friends and I was all alone.Two months were still left in my term, and after that I was supposed to go back to India forever. But today, I wanted to go back immediately. Not because I didn’t want to be with Nathan. Oh, I desperately wanted to be with him, but I knew that it was neither possible nor plausible. So, to silence that desperation, I wanted to put an end to any possibility. And the best way was to get a one-way ticket to India. I knew if – no when – when I will go back home next, it would be the last time. And I would never see Cape Town ever again.So, to make this sad thing possible, I had called my professor and begged him to let me go early. Hearing my tearful plea, he agreed to let me go after I had submitted t

ARYAHe looked so stunned that I almost laughed. He was confused. “Why are you crying then?” he demanded, outraged. “It was as if you are doing something awful, against all your damn wishes.”Only if I could tell him!“Where are we going?” I wiped my face and smiled now.“Why are you crying?” he demanded. “I need to know why you are crying so harshly.”I shook my head and smiled again. “These tears, they come with the territory. But you will soon give me the reason to smile all my life…” I grabbed his collar and shook him slightly. “You will give me memories that will make me happy forever…” he looked so confused. “So, tell me, Mr. Anderson,” he screwed his face at this, I leaned in and pressed my lips to him, he relaxed slightly, “Nate, my Nate,” I whispered at his lips, “Tell me, Nate, where are you taking me for my perfect vacation.”He stared at me for a long moment, then nodded.“I need to know why you are crying, but it can wait. I am sure that Daniel will be here in a short w
Almost Perfect Vacation CHAPTER 11
NATHANI have been to this island more times than I could count, but this time was worth it. Being with her, away from prying eyes, away from all the distractions, was everything. Deep down I was feeling guilty, yes, a lot guilty for abandoning the empire I had built from scratch, but I was hopeful that James would be able to hold the fort down for a few days, at least. Maybe, I will catch up on emails – and give away my location and privacy to Daniel in the process – later in the week.“What are you thinking?” she asked, bringing me back to my senses. She was wearing a long t-shirt and shorts. Her bare legs were dangling from the chair and I couldn’t help but notice how beautiful she was. I could see that she was much more comfortable around me now, especially after our adventure in the ocean. She didn’t mind anymore if I wrapped my hands around her body or kiss her when she was not expecting. She was sitting on a chair by the kitchen counter and eating happily. She was so easy to
Almost Perfect Vacation CHAPTER 12
NATHANFor the first time in my entire life, I was so shocked and embarrassed. What was I thinking? I didn’t ask her to be my girlfriend or my live-in. I asked her to be my home! Who does that? Holy hell, I haven’t even fucked her yet. What has gotten into me?To pass on this weird feeling developing in the pit of my stomach, I picked up my wine bottle and started to drain it. Identically, she picked up her vodka. For a girl who doesn’t like wine, she sure could drink neat vodka!As she finished almost half of the bottle, sipping quietly, staring at the sky or horizon, I asked, “When did you start drinking?”She chuckled but she was in her senses. “The week I came to your gorgeous country.”There was no slur in her voice, she must be a good drinker!“Before that?” I asked curiously.And she laughed maniacally. Okay! Maybe she was a bit drunk.“Sri made me drink. She said and I quote, ‘if I have to live and enjoy life in this country, I need to drink,’ so yeah, I have been drinking eve
Almost Perfect Vacation CHAPTER 13
NATHANI have been with many women, but not one was like her. The way she kissed me, loved me, fought to take charge, I still could not push her out of my mind.And I wanted more… so much more…I knocked at the bathroom door behind which she was currently hiding.“Can I come in?” I asked.“Yes,” she replied, her voice hoarser than my expectations.As I entered, I saw her sitting in the shower. “What’s wrong?” I asked, rushing to her. Her head was down on her knees and she was hugging herself. “Does it hurt or was I that bad?” I added.She sniffed and looked up. Her eyes were bloodshot and she was crying.I could never stand anyone’s tears, but hers simply broke my heart.“Hey,” I spoke, as I moved her hair from her face and wiped it. “I am sorry,” she choked.“Why are you sorry?” I asked. “I am sorry,” she hugged me and sobbed so harshly that I could not understand what I was supposed to do.I picked up her sobbing form in my arms and carried her out. I wrapped her body in a blanke
Almost Perfect Vacation CHAPTER 14
NATHANThe reality came crashing down upon me worse than I had ever imagined. I was not looking for a long-term relationship with this weird girl, but knowing what she has been through and what she would go through once we part ways, sent shivers down my spine.“You cannot marry a stranger,” I snapped.“Many girls in my country marry a stranger, Nate,” she smiled sadly. “I am lucky that I was not married off to a man when I was barely fourteen. At least I was given time to grow up, time to live my dream, time to meet you –” she whispered the last word sadly.“Don’t go back,” I insisted. “Stay here. I will ensure that you have a visa. I will arrange for a permanent residency for you here.”“And do what?” she asked, smiling now.“I told you Amy can make you a star in the arts community,” I suggested. “Open a gallery, run shows. Be famous, be rich.”“And the cost would be?” she asked with raised eyebrows.“You don’t have to pay anything… I will make sure that everything is sorted,” I str
Almost Perfect Vacation CHAPTER 15
ARYAYes, I was committing sin, and I know that I would have to repent for that for the rest of my life. But well, the punishment does not change if we commit one murder, or two or a hundred. We only die once, and I wanted to live a hundred times before my timed death.“What do you want to do today?” he asked me the next afternoon. I was very sore… especially in places that I had never dreamed of.I pouted naughtily and he raised his eyebrows at me. I was wearing nothing but one of his t-shirts.“How many days are we here for?” I asked after a pause.He grinned. His demeanor was so casual now, I liked it very much. It was like he was at ease, in his natural environment. No mush-no fuss!“How many days do you wish to stay here?” he asked with a smile.I sighed as I bent over the kitchen counter and stretched, “Forever…” I moaned, my cheek pressed against the cold surface. “Oh, don’t do that,” he spoke, standing behind me and pushing himself.“Oh, I want to do everything in this foreve
Almost Perfect Vacation CHAPTER 16
NATHANI don’t know why, but I wanted to put as much distance as possible between her and myself. I feared what I would say if she asked me ‘Why’. Why did I feel this way? Why I was feeling betrayed? Why… How could I tell her that I didn’t want to let go of her? That the thought of another man owning her bothered me way too much. To think that after a few days, some other man would kiss her, touch her the way I did… the way only I should be able to… As I pictured a faceless man grabbing her bare body and having his way with her without her consent, my anger rose. I fisted my hands to temper my rage and walked to the cottage. I picked up my phone and walked out.I was moving to the opposite side of the island when I heard her shout.“Nathan…” she was calling my name.I stopped to see if she was hurt, would I be able to tell through her shout? “Nathan…” she called again. She was panicking. Of course, she was panicking because of my abrupt behavior. She was here for a fun week, a week
