Night Changes

CHAPTER 19

  "What are you doing here? "

The woman in front of us, probably on her mid thirties, raised a suspicious eyebrow as she interrogated us. Her uniform said she was the café staff.

"We..uh..we"
Jasprit stuttered.

"Yes, Mister. I'm waiting. Would you be kind enough to give me an explanation as to what are you both doing behind this oak tree?"

Jasprit nervously looked at me.

"We..are...ON A DATE!"
I blurted out and Jasprit seemed confused, so was the woman.

"A date..behind an oak tree..what type of date is that?"

"Er..actually we are really romantic and we wanted to have a date a bit different from the typical dates, you know? Right, Jassi?"

I hooked my arm with his and batted my eyelashes. He took the hint.

"She's right. We're on a romantic date,"
He smiled nervously.

The woman eyed us suspiciously.

"Sorry, folks. It's against the café rules to sit behind the tree. Please sit inside,"
We nodded and walked inside with our arms around each other.

We took the seat opposite to the door and sat side by side to keep an eye on Trent.

The woman we met outside kept hovering around our table, and we had to act like we were a couple in love by holding hands and flirting profoundly.

We had to buy something so Jasprit ordered a coffee and I wasn't in the mood so I tried a new drink they had.

I tasted and it felt horrible, still it had a weird energy in it so I finished it and ordered two more.

"I'm bored and Ritz is nowhere to be seen," I said, frowning.

"Don't act like that, you're the literal queen of being late,"

"Whatever," I rolled my eyes.

We waited till 5.15, Ritz didn't arrive.

By now even Trent lost his patience, and walked away.

"What was that?"
I couldn't understand. Why didn't Ritz come?

"I don't know- I assure you, she did make her plans. I saw the screen shots Ro sent me. But why didn't she come then? Even Ro went out with Sam so that she could come out,"
Jasprit was confused himself.

As we walked away from the café I felt dizzy and tripped. Jasprit caught me by my waist immediately and our faces were inches away.

"Are you fine? What happened?" He asked with concern in his voice.

"I don't know, I feel so dizzy,"

"Come, I'll drop you home,"

By the time we reached half way through the main road, I felt bile rising in my throat. I wondered what happened to me.

I felt drowsy and tired and in no time, Jasprit noticed.

"Hey, whats up? Are you feeling sick?"

"Yess..I..think. I feel sleepy and..I don't know..I.."

"I forbade you to drink that energy drink in the café..you drank three cups full! Look at you, you look miserable,"

I smiled widely.

"Wait a minute..." he furrowed his eyebrows, "was it..alcoholic?"

I kept smiling.

"But you only drank three cups...how can you get high.. wait..do you drink?"

"Nopyyy nopyy, Mr Jasprit Jasbir Singh Bumrah, " I flashed my teeth.

"That's why..so what do I do now? I would've called Ritz but I can't explain what happened. Do you have someone else at home?"

"Nope, I don't. But you can stay there, baby,"

He looked at me with wide eyes.

"Uh..the alcohol's really getting you. We're almost there..hang on,"

..

Jasprit carried me in his arms above the stairs and then I collapsed onto my couch.

I saw Jasprit at the foot of the couch.

"Come, Jasprit! Join me!"

"Er..You don't know what you're saying. You'll regret it later, so just sleep,"

I frowned in irritation and walked up to him with my shaky legs. I was about to fall when Jasprit grabbed me.

I put my arms around his neck and pulled him closer,
"Why, babe? You are my boyfriend, you promised Ritz you will stand by me,"

"I am not, Alayna. You aren't in your senses,"

"I am in my senses! Perfectly! That's why I'm saying that You. Are. My. Boyfriend,"

He bit his lips. He had his arms around my waist.

"See..you are a boyfriend material," I pressed my finger on his chest, "you are sooo caring. Sooo innocent. Sooo lovely with children. Sooo good at heart. I love your smile. I love you,"

I caught him off guard. He looked at me with surprise? Passion? Affection? I don't know.

"Why are you silent? Say something,"
I pouted.

"Nobody ever appreciated me like that- and I didn't know you think so nice of me. Thanks,"
He smiled softly.

"Of course I think so, you're the nicest guy I've ever met,"
I smiled, tightening my grip on his neck.

"You're beautiful," he said, tucking a lock of hair behind my ear.

"I know," I winked.

"And smart. And interesting. And lovely. And..amazing,"

He looked at me with so much admiration, I couldn't hold it anymore.

I pressed my lips against his soft lips.

He wasn't responsive at first but within seconds, he kissed me back.

After a long moment, he pulled apart.

"Aly, please sleep. You will regret this in the morning,"

"Why will I regret it? Nobody regrets their first kiss," I smiled.

"What? This was your first kiss?"

"Yessssss..but why are you so surprised?"

"I assumed you must have boyfriends...so you must have kissed..anyway, don't mind me,"
I shrugged.

"But Will you regret this?"
I whispered to his ears.

"Never," he replied.

Closed the gap between Aly and Jassi for the first time, how do you feel about this?
