Next morning, when Vikas entered his office lift, a girl followed him in. He looked up. It was Jackie from PR.
"Morning, Jacqueline!" Vikas said.
"Morning, Sir!" Jackie said and came to stand very close to him "You are such a sweet man, Sir!"
Vikas smiled "Thank you, but what makes you say so?"
Jackie was a tall Sri Lankan girl who had a tight, firmly toned body and a beautiful longish face. Her smile was very sexy and she used it to flirt a lot. Her job in PR meant meeting and working with many people and she was known to use her sex appeal to get what she wanted. In the office also, boys in her department were after her but not just in her department. She flirted with all but didn't give in to any. She always ignored the company dressed code and dressed in a way to accentuate her beautiful curves.
Today also her dress was tight, short and cut in a very stylish way. Her long, well-toned, shapely legs were visible up to her middle thighs and they were delectable. As she stood next to Vikas he could easily see down into her cleavage. A very lovely, mouth-watering cleavage.
"Pari told me about the trip you are sponsoring for her and me. And my boss told me I can have the month off, with pay, for the trip. I just wanted to say thank you."
With that she leaned in, put her hands on Vikas' shoulders and kissed him full on the mouth. After being taken by surprise for a second, Vikas kissed her back. She opened her mouth and pushed her tongue into his mouth. His arms went around her soft, firm body and she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
Vikas' office was on the 36th floor. From floor 2 to 35, Jackie gave Vikas a full-on, hot, wet, passionate kiss. She ground her hips slowly, pressing herself into his crotch and didn't pull away when his hand moved down to her full, firm butt.
They were both breathless as they pulled away when the lift started to slow down for the arrival. Jackie gave Vikas a sultry smile "Thank you, Sir!"
"You are welcome, Jackie." Vikas grinned as he got out of the lift. Jackie stayed in it to go back down to her department.
Parineeti was smiling widely when he arrived. she followed him into his office.
"Looks like Jackie found you to say thanks." She said indicating the handkerchief with which Vikas was wiping his lips.
He looked up "You knew about it?"
Walking casually up to him, Parineeti sat in his lap as she usually did these days. She took the hankie from him and started wiping the corners of his lips that he had missed.
"I told her about your offer. She liked it. She said she would thank you personally. With her, I kind of know what that means."
"I see. Well, she was very thorough in expressing her gratitude."
"Oh, you don't know her 'thorough' yet. She's such a slut!"
"What makes you say that?" He was surprised to hear her use that word.
Ignoring his question, Parineeti showed him the hankie smeared with lipstick "This is why I use smear-proof lipstick so you don't get in trouble with your girlfriend-slash-fiancée later."
"Smart girl!" Vikas smiled.
"Let me show you." Parineeti leaned in and kissed Vikas full on the lips. This was different from their usual peck on the lips. She pressed her lips on his and kissed slowly, opening her lips then slowly licking his lips with her tongue.
Vikas realised that while Jackie's kiss had been aggressively seductive, Parineeti's had a sweet submission in it that turned him on much more.
"See?" Parineeti said as she pulled back and ran a corner of the hankie over his bottom lips.
"Hmmm. Maybe you should kiss me more often so all this effort into choosing the right lipstick doesn't go to waste." He smiled.
"I will work on that, Sir." Parineeti also smiled "Now, about this trip. I have decided to take you up on your offer if it's still on?"
"Yes, it is, if you promise to bring me lots of photos of you in a bikini." He grinned.
"I can, but are you sure you don't want Jackie's photos in a bikini instead?" She teased.
"Mmmm, can I have both?"
"I can try."
"And besides, I am sure Jackie's boss would want her pictures."
"Oh, I think he would already have lots of her pictures, in bikini and out of it."
"What do you mean?" Vikas asked though he could kind of guess what she meant.
"I mean she is a good secretary and serves her boss well." Parineeti said and changed the topic "I am liking the idea of Goa. But I am not sure I want to spend the whole month there. Would you allow us to travel around if we don't spend too much money?"
"Depends on if you stay safe and don't travel anywhere dangerous."
"Oh, I was only thinking about Delhi and a quick trip to Agra. I have never seen the Taj Mahal."
"Sure. Why not? Sounds like a good plan."
===========================================================
"That was not the plan!" Vikas protested.
"I know, honey. But mom could help you in picking everything, a second pair of eyes, you know? And mom's taste is good." Kajal said placating.
"We can wait until next weekend."
"You know we don't have that much time, baby. You need a new suit for the wedding. Mom also needs to do some shopping. If I didn't have to work today, I'd come with you."
"Well, that's what we had planned." Vikas said sullenly.
"I know, jaan. But my boss has called me in, we have some girls coming in for auditions. He only told me last evening."
Sonali spoke for the first time "Don't worry, Damad ji, I won't suggest you to buy any old fashioned things."
"I am not worried about that, Sasu maa, but it does remind me..." he included all three - Kajal, Rhea and Sonali - in his gaze "My office colleagues want to give me a farewell party before I get married and go on my honeymoon. You are all coming, but" he looked at Sonali "you can't wear a saree. Everybody needs to be in western dresses."
"But" Sonali protested "I only have sarees. I can wear a backless blouse with it like the one I had the other day? Won't that work?"
"Nope." Vikas shook his head "And if you don't have dresses we should get you some today, now that you are coming shopping with me."
"You look great in a dress, mom." Rhea said.
"Thanks, honey, but they are so expensive." Sonali said "With one saree you can mix and match many blouses."
"Well, today I am buying you a couple of dresses, so you don't worry about the prices." Vikas said firmly.
"Urm...is that offer for anybody?" Rhea raised her hand.
"Well, you are welcome to join us, babe. But you said you have classes."
"Yes, I do," Rhea he made a face "but I will be done by 3 O'clock."
"Okay. So you come and meet us. Just text me when you are out and I'll text you where we are."
"Yay! I am going shopping with Jiju!" Rhea jumped up and down.
Vikas smiled then turned to Sonali "Look, Sasu Maa, I know you live in a middle class locality, and you dress for here. I can respect that. But now you all are part of my life as much as I am part of yours. From time to time you will need to mix up in my world. I would appreciate it if you all, including you, made an effort to dress for it. That would mean wearing a dress sometimes."
"Ji, Damad ji. I will do as you say and dress as you like." Sonali said softly "I won't embarrass you."
