Unpredictable

Gauri: let me go, then give it to me.

Om: fine.

He let go of her arm and she turned to face up, lifting her head up so she could make direct eye contact with him. He looked down at her to make eye contact with her too. She did not like having to lift her head just to look at him. Why did she have to stop growing the minute she hit 5'2? She looked like a child when standing next to her siblings or next to her 6'3 husband.

Om dug his hand into the pocket of his jacket and brought out his wallet. He took out a jet black credit card and showed it to Gauri. Gauri stared at it like it was a snake.

Gauri: I don't need this, I have my own money.

Om: I know you do but I want to spoil you. So Khanna will drive you around the shops, you can buy whatever you like and I will see you tonight.

Did she really want to take his credit card and go shopping? She was mad, but was she that mad at him to take his credit card?

Gauri: cute gesture but I have my own money. My mum left me a massive sum of money that I got after marrying you, and obviously I have not got to remind you that my dad is very rich to the point that I don't have to work a day in my life if I don't want to.

Om: I know princess, you got the life most girls dream of. Now I know you are quite financially independent in this marriage but today use my credit card. Please. Let me do this for you to ease my conscience, okay?

Gauri was quite hesitant to take his card. He was being sweet. Really sweet. Maybe she could suck up her pride and accept his generosity for once in her life.

Om: please. Just for today.

Gauri: fine just for today.

She said, making Om smile. She kept her hand out and he placed the credit card in her hand. Gauri looked at the credit card before looking back at her husband.

Gauri: I should warn you though, I will spend until I am no longer angry at you from last night. I hope you have a very high limit on this card. I have very expensive taste.

Om bent down to her height and pulled her close. She found her body arching against him, almost making her look needy, needy for his touch. His lips touched her ear as he said: the card that I gave you has no limit. Do your worst and then forgive me.

Gauri: we'll see Omkara. We'll see.

Om took his arms off her and smiled at her.

Om: have fun, feel free to send me pictures and of course you can use the card to spend on your friends.

Gauri: fine but I am not taking Khanna with me. I know how to drive.

Om: Khanna is there for your protection.

Gauri: I can take care of myself. My dad perhaps didn't teach me how to kick someone or punch properly, but my mum taught me how to be street smart.

Om: really? And here I was thinking that you were only book smart.

Gauri: there is a lot you don't know about me Omkara Singh Oberoi. But of course you were never interested in knowing me, you were only interested in sleeping with me with no strings attached and ghosting. Remember?

Om: I'm a changed man now Gauri and I will continue to show you that I am a changed man.

Gauri: we'll see Omkara. We'll see. Now I am going, Khanna is not coming with me, I will be buying whatever I want and you cannot have a problem with that. When I come back, we'll see then if I forgive you.
