Love At The First Bite...

Chapter 16

Sujoy's POV

" I am sorry, Mom, sorry for everything, you know, I love you. "  I said

" I know... Chal khana kha le... ( c'mon have dinner now!)"  She said.

" Mom, I have had dinner.  "  I told her.

" What is going on?? You hardly eat anything nowadays... "

" Mom, chill!! I am eating more than I usually do... In fact, I would have to increase my time at the gym." I smiled.

" Did you have dinner with that girl?" She enquired with excitement.

" Yes, mom!! "  I said, she smiled.

" Ok, then it is fine...  But find some time to have food with us too. Tell me what you want to eat, I will make it for you.  "  She said.

" Oh, mom... Ok, tomorrow I will have dinner with you. I hope dad would not get jealous of your special attention on me or if you will make my favourite dishes.  "  I said and mom smiled.

" Idiot! "  She said.

" Mom!! You can't call my dad an Idiot in front of me... Please, it doesn't look good. You can him whatever you want when you two are alone in your bedroom. " I said and she was shocked first and then burst out laughing.

" You are such a shameless boy... " Mom said.

" Boy?? I am a thirty-two years old man... "

" Yeah and you are still single... "

" Good night, mom! Please don't start again. I will marry soon. No discussion on this, please. " I kissed her cheek and went to my room.

I was lying on my bed wide awake with a smile on my face. Thinking about the cute chef, I Loved annoying her.  She was beautiful, smart, savage, fiercely independent, witty, feisty and talented.

I liked her... But I was shocked to see that she had no effect of my flirting on her. She was just a bit uncomfortable.

How?? And why was she stepping away from me as if I was a live wire?

Her behaviour was strange... But I had already taken up the challenge and I would make her fall for me.

But, she seems to have someone in her life.

So what?? She was not married. If only she was married, I would not have bothered her. But she was not...

Maybe she just said that she has someone to keep me away. Yes, it is quite possible...  She might have thought that I would not bother her if I thought she had someone special in her life.

I was feeling... I don't know... What I was feeling.  I was intrigued by her and wanted to get to know more about her.

I parked my car and went inside to see her.  The manager greeted me and showed me to the same table again.

" Can you tell the chef to hurry up, please? I have an important meeting in an hour? "

" Sure sir!! " He said and went in to inform her. I was looking through the toughened glass.

She nodded and started taming her beautiful locks and tied them in a messy knot and secured it with a chopstick.

Chopstick??

Well, she was really different...  I smiled to myself.

She started working and like yesterday, she was managing two or three cooking processes and was also working on the plating and sent a few things to my table with the waiter.
