Will She Accept?

Chapter 8

Avneet
It's been a few months now, since I moved out from the Nigam mansion. I have started my career and surprisingly my business and acting career are both flourishing. But, the most important thing, the thing I pay most of my attention to, is about how much I think of Siddharth. That guy has captured my mind, with each passing day I think of him more then I did yesterday. Whenever I visit the Nigams' to hangout or spend time with them, his presence anywhere around me makes me concious. I wonder if he feels that too, because I know for a fact... I am falling for him. A guy that I don't even know very well, because he's so discrete. So reserved, I wonder what he hides behind those ocean deep eyes. Ocean- would be the correct word for his eyes. His eyes are as deep and gorgeous as the ocean, but hold as many mysteries too. I crave to know him better, he talks to me these days. He does, but not enough for me to see him through. I stalk his social media accounts, I stare at his pics for long. I study his features so frequently, and everytime I do- I find something new. Like a new little scar, or a small bruise. Anything, something, I look at him everyday.

I am going to the mansion tomorrow. I don't have to shoot for a week or two now. They're planning a family trip to France, they want me to come with them... Jannat specially wants me to come. She knows.. She knows I like him, she knows I hold feelings for him. And she also says, he feels the same. I ask why, she says Faisu tells her so everytime. I wonder if it's true? Or are they kidding around with me? Whatever it is, I know this doesn't end this way. I am into him, I don't yet know if I can call this love, but if it turns out to be so, and if he loves me back, I want us to have the best possible future under any circumstances. And I have decided to go to the trip and give us a try. He won't give in easily, and so would I..

Next Day
It's today. It's 9 am. I am driving to their mansion, Faisu called me twice asking me to be there soon. I reach here.. Finally. What's eating me up isn't how long sorting out this future trip would take, it's how I will feel butterflies again, when I look at him and he looks back at me. But then his eyes leave mine, they go away. I don't like it. Walking in to see them all sitting on the multiple couches and armchairs scattered, laughing their hearts out, munching on to snacks. Him having a sweet, little, elegant smile on his lips. His eyes gleaming. His eyes don't gleam. Usually they don't. They are cold. But they are warm now. I go and sit on the sofa kept opposite to his, I try noticing the reason of the beautiful smile and gleam of his eyes. Food. Food? He's smiling because it's his favourite dessert, that he's holding in his hands. Cute. Why so cute? He likes good food. That's a plus point. I like food too. We both gonna vibe. I break the stare when I hear Vibha aunty asking me something. I look at her, I ask her what she said. She repeats the question, and Siddharth looks at me. Maybe he's waiting for me to answer? “Will Thursday be okay for you, Avneet? You're free for a week or something right? ” “Yes! Thursday would be great. So, we done planning? ”
Faisu:Mostly. Yes. Plane tickets done. Dates fixed. Location fixed. Bookings done. The only thing left is packing your travel bags and buying few things, since you ladies will definitely go shopping.

Jannat:You guys will have to accompany us. Including you, Sid. We need people to carry our bags around. Don't we?

So they're done planning. We have all settled to the plan. We are going shopping today. Siddharth will be there. Fuck! 5 pm it is. Today's Tuesday, so we have basically two days only. Thursday to next week's Sunday is going to be the trip. Damn! More than a week. I and him are going to be together for more than a week. I hope I get to know him. This time. I'll wait for you to open up to me, Sid.
