Chapter 3. Time to go.

Dedicated to @ditipriya_12

Alex Dalton

"No spicy!" I said. We were discussing what should we have for lunch.

"Hmm. Dal-khichdi then. It's not spicy." Neha suggested.

Ritu and Pooja nodded.

"Okay then." I said.

"Guys, I'm ordering Veg Biryani is that alright!?" She asked to both of them.

"Ya" they replied.

She called the waitress and gave the order,"One simple salad, dal-khichdi and Veg Biryani with some cheese."

"So, Mr. Dalton where are you from?" Neha asked.

Mr?

I smiled. " Alex please. And I'm from America." I said.

"Oh,America" She repeated in my accent.

"So,what's bring you here in India? Pooja asked.

"Dad brought me for some business meeting." I said smiling.

"Oh,Business man uh? Neha said.

I smiled at her and nodded.

"Stop smiling like a fool!" My inner voice said. Then, I realized that I was smiling like a child who just got a chance to visit Santa. I drop my smile down but my lips were still curl.

"Oh! My! God!" Ritu suddenly said catching our attention and grinning like a mad bitch.

"What is it?" Pooja asked.

"Girl,your photo which I posted on Facebook has 487 likes and 364 comments!!!" She said with excitement.

"What? Which photo!!?" Pooja asked.

"See,this one" Ritu said while showing her the picture.

Pooja chuckled. "Just cute one!"

Neha rolled her eyes.

"Show me" I said to Ritu.

She gave me her iPhone. It was really too cute picture. Most girls comment as cute, aww sweet!, lovely. And boys were hot,sexy,...

But,one comment caught my attention and I was furious after reading it.

" Oh,sexy girl,just stay there with your moustache on. I coming there to wipe it with my tongue!"

Sender name was : Nikhil Chaddha

"How is Nikhil Chaddha!?" I asked clenching my jaw.

"He is in our college." Pooja said in he-is-no-more-than-a-shit tone.

I nodded. I swear,if I get just one chance to fight with him! I'll use my all teaching on him and I'll make sure he never stands up in his life ever again.

What!? Bro..cool down.

"Your food ma'am" The waiter named Amar said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Ritu said.

"Start digging!!" I said with my full energy.

They chuckled and started eating.

"So,what are you studying?" I asked Neha chewing my food.

"Hmm. There is "No talking while eating food" policy here. So,all questions after lunch." Neha said strictly.

"Oh,okay." I replied.

We ate our lunch silently. It was the best food I ever had. I mentally make a note to ask Leah about Dal-khichdi and make sure that she learn it.

I removed my wallet to pay the lunch.

"Oh,Alex the bill is paid." Neha said.

"When!?" I asked.

"Umm,when you were busy daydreaming" Neha said with a smile.

I blushed as her friends chuckled.

I mean really!! I was daydreaming!! Oh god! So embarrassing!

"Okay." I said looking down still feeling embarrassed.

They all chuckled. I gave them a questioning look. They all hurried up and walked outside the restaurant.

Time to go to hotel, I thought.

The thought made me quite sad. I don't want to go to the hotel. I want to spend time with Neha. "Not fair" I said in my mind looking upwards.

Someone cleared their throat. I looked at them. They gave me a sad smile.

"It was nice timing you,Alex" Ritu said.

"Same here." I replied shaking hands with her.

"Ya really, have a happy journey ahead!" Pooja said.

"Well,Thank you, Aishwarya Rai..!" I teased.

"I must say thats was impressive" she said chuckling bit.

I watched bollywood movies of ya. Obviously,with the subtitles.

It was time to talk with princess. I mean to say "goodbye". The thought caused a sting pain in my chest. All of a sudden, it felt heavy. I never ever felt like this before. I hate this feeling. I gulped. She gave me a smile which wasn't reaching her eyes.

"Alex, glad to have your company. I hope you enjoyed and decided to visit again." She said in business tone.

What!?

Seeing my shocked face she let out a chuckle. I smiled.

"Okay. okay." She said again with her hands up in surrendered.

I sigh in relief.

"Uhmm.. thanks to show me the hotel." I said nervously not knowing what to say.

" Thanks!!? I mean seriously!?" She said with disappointment.

Hell! I don't know what to say. This feeling is eating me up. It feels to...uneasy.

I didn't say anything because my vocal cords were not co-ordinating with me.

"And I'm sorry for your shirt." She said looking at my spoiled shirt feeling sorry.

I chuckled.

"It's okay." I said looking deep at her eyes. God knows when I'll be seeing them again. Like melted choclate. Hell! I'm sure they can melt anybody in fraction of second.

"Uhmm, okay then,bye." She said.

I nodded more to myself understanding that I have to go.

"Okay, bye." I whispered. Didn't had the courage to speak it at normal tone.

She turned around and walked away with her friends. And I turned around to walk towards my hotel. We both walking away from each other.

Are our paths going to cross!? Will I meet her again!!?

Aaarrgghh!!! Fuck! This feeling man!

Keeping aside the uneasy feeling. I sigh aloud and keeping one thing in my mind.

"Time to go!"
