Thread: Forbidden love is the sweetest kind  (Toritaynympho and whtbitch4u2own)

And now, I am going to have to stay up late to study, thanks to you. I have a whole bunch of assignments that are due, and that too, all at the same time! Priyanka texted her boyfriend, Amir, as she sat in the back of a cab after receiving a good night text message from him. She had gone on a dinner date with her boyfriend because it was something they were planning for the longest time. Their timings mismatched for the past few weeks since either one of them were always busy. If she had some time to spare in some weekend, Amir was busy with work and vice versa. So, it was a decided by Amir and later proposed to her that he was wanting to treat her to a dinner in a city later in the day. He had some time to spare that day since it wasnt a busy day at work and Priyanka only had to study, which she could easily do so after dinner date. Shed just have to stay up a little longer than usual in able to do so. The time was in a crunch as the finals were approaching and yet another fine semester was coming to an end. She couldnt believe how fast the time has moved as she was in her junior year now. It seemed like yesterday when she visited the campus with her parents for some charity works. She knew where she wanted to go right in that moment and a year later, she was a freshman at Dartmouth. The street lights made bursts of light flow through the window and splash across her face in a rhythmic pattern. She looked out the window as she took in the sight of the campus at night as the cab hauled through the campus grounds and towards her fancy dorms. She was majoring in finance. She always had interest in the field because how much she was influenced by her parents, father the most. He was a shrewd businessman, still is, and she grew up watching him. The wealth and the name theyve earned, she knew shed have to live up to it. The time has come now as she was the only child and all eyes were on her. She could already feel the burden of itthough, she was glad that she still had some time before she has to join Gupta Industries. Therefore, she wanted to make the rest of her college years as much funful and memorable as she could. Technically, she was already being a bad girl by actually dating a guy. Her parents wouldnt approve of her dating and up until she finished her high school, she only had crushes and never a boyfriend. It certainly changed once she got to the college and had met a few great guys. Shes been in a relationship with Amir for almost 6 months now. Of recently, they havent had the chance to spend as much time together because of his job and she, her studies. Hes three years older than her and already working at a firm in the city. She met him through one of her good friend, Mira. Well, Amir is Miras older brother and theyd met at Miras birthday last year. Ever since then, they started talking at first and then it was hanging out, finally, they were dating. Who knows where this will go. One thing was certain, her parents had no idea of this and she was planning to keep it that way for now. Her studies were her priority and nothing could come before that. While she was having a great time at Dartmouth, she really had very bad experiences with roommates in the past. Third year, this semester was the first time she actually felt that she had a decent roommate. The first year, her roommate was another Indian girl and she was so stuck up. The girl literally thought that she was the most beautiful girl in the world. A whole year with her seemed like a torture and thats why, she spent most of her time in the library or hanging out with her other Indian and Asian friends. She only went back to get a good nights sleep. Speaking of which, lot has changed this year. Shes gotten to enjoy studying at her dorms rather than library. Many times, her roommate and she had stayed up at night to study and if not that, to keep each other some company just for the heck of it. She thought her father was some big shot, the sole owner of Gupta industries that was well known in the world of business and finance. She learned in second week with her new roommate, Sofia, that her father was the US ambassador to Colombia. One thing was obviousthey both came not only from solid families with strong structural background but a cultural background as well. Priyanka was very young when her parents had shifted from Europe to the States and established a business in NYC. He started small and now, its become an empire. Though, hes a businessman, he has connections with almost everyone you can think of. Not only that, hes the president of Indian Community thats richly based in the Tri-state area and all over the States. They always held on to their cultural values and beliefs and thats exactly what they passed on to their daughter. The whole reason why they were strict parents to begin with, no dating policy and pushing her to be her best by educating herself well. Thats why she wasnt like many of those children who decides to wild out the moment they get some freedom at college. She knew her limits as shed always been stuck in between two cultures which were two extremes on a spectrum. One allowed freedom and other, restraints. Though, growing up in the States, shes learned to take a bit of both cultures to make it work for her. She flipped through her text messages in her phone again, thinking she would call Sofia and see what she was up to. But, she didnt as she was only two blocks away. Instead, she gathered her belongings and took out a few bills of twenties to pay the cab. Finally, her ride came to a stop right in front of a tall building. It was one of the new dorm buildings and she was glad that she gets to share it with a nice roommate like Sofia. Since the weather was turning colder, she paid the cabbie before exiting the cab and then made a quick run to enter the dorm lobby. The security guy at the desk would recognize her as one of the resident, smiling softly and nodding at her. She returned a nod of acknowledgment as she hopped into an elevator and once she arrived to her floor, she made her way to her dorm room, one hand in her purse to pick out the room key. She finally put it in and unlocked the door, entering a nice cozy place which made her feel at home. Faint sound of television could be heard and even though she wasnt trying, she was awfully quite as she entered. The entrance had a small 6 foot entrance hall which allowed a clear view of the living room corner where TV was mounted on the wall. Sofia was obviously in the dorm and so, Priyanka slowly shut the door without making too much noise. Any sounds that her heels made couldnt be heard over the TV and so she slowly peeked from the hallway, into the living room and found her roommate watching TV while sipping on a can of soda. Thats when she plunged forward and shouted, Boo! It was in that moment, her roommate would spot the Indian girl jumping forward. She was in her casual black jeans and a thick sweater top with a top underneath. Despite being it all casual, she looked fancy as she completed her looks with a pair of black matching heels. She came plopping down onto the couch besides her roommate as she propped up her heels onto the table in front of her, a smile lingering on her face. She looked over to her friend, Sofia, finding her expressions pretty much lovely as she was in shock.
