------------------------------------------------------We walked towards his car and as usual, he opened the door for me. I got in and he came from the other side and sat in.
We chose a quite place for dinner, nothing great. We sat at the restaurant, ordered our beverages ( Rohan didn't order alcohol this time) and started chatting.
He asked me "If you don't mind me asking, have you been in a relationship?"
I raised my eyebrow and told him "First you asked me not to be formal and now your behaving like that!"
He chuckled and I answered "I have had two boyfriends before. Nothing serious and totally platonic! What about you? Except Natasha, have you had a girlfriend?"
"I did. But it ended badly. She cheated on me. Let's not talk about that." His eyes looked sad when he said that and his lips formed a hard line. I understood that I needed to change the topic.
"Just one more week for college to start!"I said excitedly.
"yeah!" he said sipping his drink.
I was longing to ask him about the party and I finally asked him "So your coming to that business party, aren't you?"
"Unfortunately, yes!" he said with a grin.
"Who are you bringing as your date?"I knew he would say Natasha. But took me by surprise; when he said "I don't know. Would you mind coming with me?" I had no clue he would ask me, but I secretly wished he did...a part of me wished he would ask.
"I thought you would be going with Natasha...Raj asked me and I agreed to go with him." I said with a smile. I didn't have a perfect dress. I should look perfect that day, I thought.
Rohan murmured something in a low voice that was barely audible. The only word I caught was 'asshole'!
He said nonchalantly "Oh! I'll ask Natasha."
He continued pointing towards me "Next time, you're coming with me."
"Okay!" I said delightedly.
Our dinner was served. Stir fried veggies with macroni and garlic bread.
I was a total foodie. After having a bite of the yummy macroni I asked him "Can I ask you a question?"
He nodded politely.
"Natasha and you... how come you're together when you don't love her?"
He gulped down an entire glass of water before answering and said "She was there for me when I needed her...when my girlfriend left me.. I was in a bad place then and she helped me get through it. She told me she had feelings for me. I didn't want her to leave me because she was kind to me when I needed her and she was the only one in who I confided, so I asked her to be my girlfriend."
He looked a little embarrassed when he said it and he avoided looking at me. I guess he thought I would judge him. He started playing with his food and continued "I like her but she loves me. It's confusing for me."
I held his free hand and told him convincingly "I know you will figure it out soon."
His cell phone buzzed and he took t to check and he gave a sigh.
I asked him politely "Is something wrong?"
He held his hand on his forehead, resting his elbow on the table he said "Our picture is on Facebook. Don't know which asshole might have taken it!"He passed the cell phone to me. I was baffled. Who might have taken our picture like right now? I looked around with a dubious expression.
The picture had a caption 'Just a friend or is Rohan Singhania cheating on his girlfriend? '
"Remember I told you that things spread fast over here. This is what I was talking about. Here are many groups of the University where people socialize and do such things." He said in a harsh tone.
His I-phone was still I in my hand and suddenly a name appeared on screen. It was Natasha's call. She must have seen the post o FB.
I passed the phone to Rohan who excused himself, took the call and left the table. What would Natasha think?
I could hear him faintly. He was saying something like "I saw it baby.....you know right...ya....nothing....sorry....ya...Sunday.....okay...love you baby."
He didn't love her then why would he say that? just to make her feel good? He kept the phone and came walking towards our table. I wondered if she was angry with him or not. Any girlfriend would be, I guess. He sat and ordered the bill.
I was waiting for him to say something and he said with a slight grin "Thank god she didn't take it wrongly. She trusts me a lot."
I felt a bit relieved. The waiter got the bill and I paid it in cash. I didn't have the patience to wait till he got the card back. Before any psycho idiot would click us again, I told him "Let's get out of here."
He drove us back home and I went to my room, changed into my comfy wear, removed my lenses & started reading. No clue when I dozed off.
The next morning I got up due to the knocking at my door. I checked my phone, it was 9 am. I had been skipping my morning yoga schedule for days now. I dragged myself out of bed and unlocked my door.
Margaret came in and greeted me "Good morning, Tina baby." I was scratching my eyes. I managed to ask her in a low voice "Morning! What brought you here this morning?"
She hurried outside. What the hell just happened? She came in and went out. I washed my face and when I came out, there she was, standing with a big white box. Before I could ask her, she kept it on my bed and said "Raj sir has sent it for you."
"Thanks, Margaret!" I told her and she left.
What would be there in the box? Why would Raj send me something? I sat on the bed and pulled the box close to me. It had a gold ribbon on it. I untied the ribbon and lifted the box cover.
OMG! He actually sent a black dress for me. I took the dress in hand and stood in front of the mirror. It was a strapless dress with a cleavage show, tight till the waist and then flowed down till the floor. It was so damn pretty, simple and elegant. There was a red bow at the waist. And it was backless.
That was such a sweet gesture. He got me a dress for the party. But would it be right for me to take it? The dress was pretty, but I couldn't keep it. I was already staying at his home. Wouldn't it be too much? The dress seemed pretty costly.
I needed to talk to Raj. I kept the dress back in the box and went near his room but he wasn't there. I saw his phone on the bed, which meant he was in the house. I checked the dining room but no avail. I quickly went downstairs searching for him sans the box. He wasn't in the living room or the library.
I heard some noise near the pool area. I went outside and there he was, in the pool. His wet hair made him look sexier. The moment he saw me, a smile flitted on his face and he greeted me "Morning! Received my gift?"
I nodded as he got out of the water wearing his swim shorts. I was prepared to convince him to take the dress back. But looking at his amazing body, I was out of words. It was my jaw dropping moment. He was like a male version of mermaid. He started wiping his hair and body with a towel. My eyes almost melted looking at his hot body. My heart skipped a beat. I felt I lost all my senses for a while. His messed up wet hair, his beautiful face, his sexy chest and toned abs and biceps, how could I not stare at him?
Only when he put a robe on, I felt a bit normal. I forgot for what I went to meet him. He came walking towards me, I felt a bit flushed. He said wiping his hair with a towel "Tina....did you like the dress or not? We can change it you don't like it."All I could think was, I wish I could run my hands through his hair and over his body. Was I feeling lustful & horny? Even if I was, I couldn't help it.
He snapped his fingers to gain my attention and I answered looking anywhere but at him "Nothing like that." before I could say anything, he said with a smile "I'll just get dressed. Let's have breakfast together." And he walked passed through me.
I didn't even thank him for the dress. I guess words just fell back into my stomach when I saw him like that.
I went upstairs and sat on the table waiting for him. He came within ten minutes. Margaret served s and as usual, vanished. I sipped a gulp of water and told him with a sweet smile "Thank you so much for the dress. But I don't think I can take it."
"Why?" he said with a frown.
"It doesn't feel right. I mean I am already living here...."
Before I could say anything further, he said "It's just a dress. And I brought it for you myself and I bet it will fit you perfectly."
"Have you ever brought a dress for your dates before?"
"No" he said. He has never shopped for his date and he shopped for me. Wow! I felt a little blushed.
He continued "I got it for you last night. I have a friend who designs amazing dresses. He showed me tons of dresses but this one was the best. So I got it."
Awww. He actually went shopping for me by himself. Was it just a kind gesture? Even if it was a kind gesture, how would I return it, I thought to myself.
"But why did you specially get it for me?" I was keen enough to know why did he do it and what he thought about me?
He raised an eyebrow and said "Because I usually take out random girls to places."
"So I am the first known person you're taking out?" I asked with a blank expression.
"Something like that..."he said finishing the last bite in his plate not even looking me in the eye.
I didn't know what to ask him next. So I kept quite.
We both got up after finishing up. I said with a million watt smile "Again, thank you so much for the dress." I felt happy that he took an effort to do something for me.
He said with a beaming smile "It would be my honour to accompany you."
Without thinking anything, I wrapped my hands around him and hugged him. Had I done something unexpected? I stood like that for a moment which felt like a million years to me and he held me at my waist, hugging me back. It felt good. I felt good, overwhelmed with joy. God knows how he felt!
