Thread: An Obsession! (whtbitch4u2own & LedIntoTemptation)

Yes! Everything is ready. The dinner is almost ready and all I need is to pull out a pillow and a comforter from the basement. Don't worry Raj, everything will be taken care of. I know your you're excited because your friend is coming over but he's my friend too! Priyanka shouted from the kitchen just as Raj was asking annoying questions before heading into the shower. She laughed to herself as she took off her apron and hung it on the inside of a pantry door before moving over to the sink to wash a few containers, setting them aside so they can dry off. It was an odd time because it was only 5 in the evening, too late for snacks and bit too early for a diner. She had prepared dinner if he was keen on eating dinner and she could put up a pot of coffeetea should he settles on that. It was true, Alex was also her friend and technically, she was friends with him before she was friend with Raj, meeting Raj a semester later. Priyanka and Alex first met on the tour during an open house, she was still in her senior year and he was already third year in college, overseeing the open house as a volunteer. It was a critical time for any highschooler, trying to decide which college to attend to and open house was a great way to get a feel of how things would be for the next four years, the campus practically being their home until they'd graduate. She met him again in one of her classes that very first semester. It was in the second semester, she moved to much cooler dorms than the ones she was in her first semester. The darn place was flooded during the winter break. Raj was in the same dorms and when introduced by Alex, Priyanka and Raj took a liking in each other. They got along with just fine. It was then, Priyanka started to stray away from him and more towards Raj. She never saw her friend as a potential guy she'd date just because there was no future. He was an American and she, an Indian, destined to marry a guy of similar background. Raj was that guy, even then it was a tough fight convincing her parents to let her marry him. She wasn't going to marry some guy of their choosing and so when he proposed to her in her senior year of college, she couldn't help but say YES. The fact that Raj had graduated two years ago and had a nice job, it served as a winning argument with her parents. That summer, after her graduation, they decided to get married without wasting anymore time. Mainly because Raj knew that he couldn't get a better woman than Priyanka and having fallen in love with him, she really wasn't going to look for someone else. Before meeting Raj, she had always been that perfect girl who came from a small town in East Coast and even a smaller town back in India, where her parents were from. They brought her over when she was very young but then she had to adapt to both cultures and it was very tough. However, to survive, she adapted to some values from American culture and let go some of the values from her Indian culture. One was a lot more conserved and another was just as much the opposite. Her parents made sure that she accepts her main culture more, strictly prohibiting her from dating and forcing her to concentrate on her studies. That's why, when she met Raj, she didn't know any better and they hit it off, making him the only guy she ever dated and been with. It was evident that Alex had always been there for her, but he was friends with Raj way before she came to study at the college. Though, they haven't had the time to stay in touch as often now, years later, Alex became a very successful business man while Raj was pretty much making a slow progress in his career. It was the couple's idea to tell their mutual friends to come and stay with them because they wouldn't allow it otherwise. Not when they have a house right in the city. Priyanka worked in a financial firm but many times, she was allowed to work from home and therefore, she was mostly home whilst Raj was all over due to his work, even out of states trips at times. She knew he worked hard to get where he was and was working twice as hard to go beyond to get a promotion. That's why she loved him, hardworking man trying to provide comfort to the love of his life. And she happily worked from home, doing two jobs at once, the real job as well as that of a housewife. At the age of 29, she felt she's achieved everything she could ever want. It was about time when Raj came out of the bathroom and Priyanka decide to go in to freshen up, telling him to go wait downstairs because he should be here any minute now.
