Arshi's POV

"Uh...no..its fine."

"Please?"

"Really. Its okay."

"I insist. Let me buy you dinner. I will anyways be eating alone. Please?"

Oh! What the hell! I thought. "Umm..okay then."

He smiled & his eyes lit up. "Come on in!" He said as he pushed the door open.

"Order. Anything."

"Uh...just a peri peri chicken with medium sauce."

He stared, "Thats my favourite too."

I coudnt help but smile.

I feel all warm & oozy. I feel nice.

"Lets sit there." He said as he pulled me to a corner seat.

A jolt of electricity bolted through my body at his touch.

"So..you come here often?" He said taking a bite.

"Not really. Sometimes. What about you?"

"Me? I love this place. Its like my second home."

I chuckled & he chuckled at my chuckle.

"Seems like you really like the food here."

"I like the food everywhere. I can finish off a plate in seconds." He said proudly.

"Bet you cant. You are just showing off. I can eat faster than anybody I know." I played along.

"Challenge accepted!"

*5 minutes later*

" I win!" I looked up & saw he really had finished the whole thing up in record time.

"Left you speechless, didnt I?"

I nodded, mouth open.

"Okay! Okay! You win!"

"I know!"

We stepped out laughing. I noticed it was snowing. Great! & all I have is my jacket.

"Here! Take this!" he said offering me his hoodie & his scarf.

"No! No! I am all right!"

"C'mon now!"

"No really! I dont need it! I live like ten minutes from here!"

"Fine but then let me walk you home!"

"But..."

He titled his head & raised his eyebrows, " Please?"

"Oh...okay!" I said giving in.

Was this a dream? Walking along the street with this beautiful boy with the snow floating down. If it is I never want it to end.

But it did.

"Here we are." I said, stopping in front of my apartment block.

He looked dissappointed.

"See you later?"

I nodded smiling. We just stood there for what seemed like forever.

Leaning closer & closer....

& then my phone beeped.

"Uh...I have to go." I said turning.

"Yeah! Sure!" He said, the same dissappointed look coming back.

"By the way, I am Niall!"

"I am Arshi!" I called back, smiling & shutting the door.
