12.

I was standing, leaning against my car's door, When I saw Alaisha coming toward me, leaving me spellbound.

My breath got stuck in my throat.

No doubt, Aliasha is a very gorgeous woman but that's not the thing that attracts Chris to her.

It's her kind heart and soul which compel him to feel for her.

Aliasha and he has been friends for 3 years, now.

He first met her on the movie set.

Though, it took him some time to break her walls.

He was trying to pursue her on a date for 2 years now.

But she declined every time claiming that she didn't want to hurt him.

He knows, she doesn't and may not ever love him.

He also knows that he can never take Kabir's place.

He is her first love, after all.

Aliasha's arm around him took him out of his thoughts.

He returned the hug and suddenly a warmth spread in his heart.

Her 5'3 petite frame fits perfectly in his 5'11 tall frame.

He ran to open the car door for her.

After settling herself on the seat she then thanked him.

He started driving, enveloping his one hand with her, driving with another.

This action gave rise to blush on her cheeks.

They reached and when she glances at the destination, She got excited like a kid in a candy store.

They were in front of the Icecream museum.

"I know your love for ice cream so I couldn't think of any other better place than this for our second date. " He declared.

"Chris this is amazing, this is like a dream come true. I have wanted to visit this place for so long." She replied grinning like a small kid as they enter the museum.

The museum had a huge sprinkle pool.

They ate five ice cream treats all in different shapes and forms.

They both have never tasted tastier ice cream.

They also learnt so many new things about ice cream which left Aliasha's mind blogged.

After spending more than four hours there, they decided to leave.

Eating so many icecreams has made her high on sugar bringing a kid in her out.

Chris was mesmerized as well as surprised to see this side of her.

Alicia was always a little guarded but today he saw a new side of her.

He was delighted that he was able to crack her guards and brought this side of her out.

He was glad that she revealed this side of her to him.

Chris then took her for dinner.

During dinner, Chris was eyeing her so intensely that it frightened her.

She was terrified of hurting him. She was scared of getting hurt by him.

Though she knows he will never maim her knowingly.

She wished, she has met him before.

She hoped, she has fallen for him.

It would have been merciful. So less painful.

Oh, how she wishes things would have been different.
