Akshith's pov -

We have been shopping at the same store for the past 3 hours its almost 2pm. I am only here because they needed a driver and I can't say no to Aru, getting to look at the blue haired girl is also a bonus. Honestly since the beginning she hasn't looked for any outfits for her sake, she keeps finding more dresses for Aru to try on. If not for Deepti atha she probably wouldn't be trying on that dark blue mirrror work lehenga. She walked out, and I was mesmerised to say the least. Before I could stop myself I blurted out," Same lehenga in red would look way more pretty." "Yess that would be so perfect for the engagement day.", Nila said. Aru agreed and atha said," We will take this one in red for Nila." I feel soo proud right now, maybe I should have been a fashion designer instead of a coder. 

Around 3 pm when I replied to all my emails, installed candy crush and got till level 35, they still weren't even near to be done Deepthi atha said," Akshith take Nila and go get some cupcakes, I saw this bakery on the way."
Nila looked like someone ran her down with a bus, so maybe this wasn't the worst idea.

Nila's pov -

I am so hungry right now I don't even have any other emotions going on. I kept on nagging Amma and Aru saying can we leave, cane we leave and at one point they realised that its better if I leave so here I am in the parking lot with Akshith. He had to take a reverse and Goddamnnn, him in formals and doing that thing where you put your hand on the other seat's head rest and look back while driving is the hottest thing I have witnessed after the Dosa tawa. The way his veins bulged and his hand rested at ease, Jesus take me and take me noww.

I broke the silence," Blue is actually my favorite color, Aru lied to you" I said. Aksh smiled, wait thats a first and said," Figured if it weren't you probably would have exchanged my shampoo with superglue." I laughed, hey thats another first and was about to speak when he said," That's actually permanent hair color, I forgot to tell you." I yelled," SAY WHAT THE FUCK NOW?" " What the fuck", he said. Oh no, oh no, no, no i will have to either go bald or get my hair colored, no way after the hair loss I had the last time.
I was about to kill him when he said," Kidding, relax its temporary though you do look more thaan average with blue hair." How the hell does this man go from being a douche to being an ultra pro max jerk in less than a minute. What does he mean better than average, I would rate myself a solid 8.5 on a good hair day and he says I am just abkve average. He is the one just above average.

We finally reached the bakery Amma told us about, it was a cute place, someplace you want to go for a first date. I wanted to have plum cake, but I saw their today's special was rum cake so I said to the cashier," Can we get a slice of rum cake and a box of 12 piece assorted cupcakes please." He nodded and asked for my card, which I was about to hand him when Akshith gave his card and said," Atha asked me to take you out, so I am going to pay and also I did not know you drink. Thanks for that leverage." I fucked up, now he has the upper hand.

We were on the way back when I started having the rum cake slice, day drinking has never felt this good. Akshith said," How is it?" " Better than average.", I said. He nodded, we reached the store again, I still had maybe 3 or 4 bites of the cake left and the box of cupcakes in my hand . I was about to remove my seat belt when he said," I can hold the cupcakes and the cake till u get down." I gave him the cakes and got out. By the time I was about to take them back, he ate my rum cake, there was only one bite left. Now, this is war. He handed me the box and what was left of the cake so innocently. Remember Nila, jail doesn't have netflix, jail doesn't have ice cream. Breatheeeee.

I walked in to the store and headed to where we were previously, oh Isha seemed to have joined us. I gave the box to Isha and said," Cakes for you hon, where were you till now." Isha said," Traffic these daysss and also Aru asked me to pick her up for her shift." Aru looked at us and was about to open the cupcakes box when Isha smacked her hand away and said," Mine, you go and ask harsh to buy you cupcakes." Aru gasped and said," I will remember this, I will tell my kids to not be friends with your kids one day." I said," Bold of you to assume Isha or I will get married or have kids, our love life is laughing at you." Aksh may have heard that and laughed as well. He is a douche most of the time but he does have a cute dimply smile.

After another hour, we were finally done. Emphasis on the finally. We payed the bills, the number was scary but this wedding was worth it. I bid my goodbyes and was about to leave when Amma said," This sunday we have to go jewelery shopping for the engagement, Dont forget." I gave her a thumbs up, said bye and left.

A/N NOTE -

I FEEL LIKE AKSH SHOULD FALL FOR HER BY ANOTHER 4 OR 5 CHAPTERS OR MAYBE MORE LETS SEE.
