"You won't believe it Priti

"You won't believe it Priti. He's just. Ugh perfect." Priyanka shakes her head as she walks out towards Starbucks with her best friend tailing behind her. 

"Picture or I don't believe you. Besides, since when do you find a guy perfect? You judge every guy that walks by you saying that you know they're not it." 

"He's just polite and nice. Gets along with my family well and not to mention he's respectful to me, doesn't just look at me like meat."

Priti laughs, "Who's looking at you like you're meat? Technically, you are flesh and bones, if he's an omnivore it means he would want to devour you by now. There must be something wrong with him if he doesn't so much so as drool or fall to your feet by now."

"He's not the kind to do that."

"You know a lot about him." 

At her best friend's comment, Priyanka simply shoves her off. "I will deprive you off your matcha lattes."

"You wouldn't dare!" 

Priyanka laughs. "Oh I will. Just tease me one more time."

"No but really Pri. I think you might have a small crush on him and him being your first crush is kind of cute." 

"He's not my first crush."

"Oh right, Hrithik Roshan does not count because he doesn't even know you exist."

"Anyways, I think he has potential."

"Potential. Are you going to make a move?"

"I'm not desperate." Priyanka laughs. "At the moment, I just want things to go with the flow."

Priyanka thought that her words held an impact when she said them out loud to make it more believable but she couldn't deny the butterflies that she felt whenever she made eye contact with the dark haired boy. He would shoot her a soft smile and she would melt, just like chocolate under warm heat. She would freeze in her spot, tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, to shake away the nervousness she felt and move on with her day. 

When Priyanka made contact with Ankit today at home from college, his attire was different from his normal ones. There was a dress shirt and some pants, his hair was styled and he looked stunning. 

Priyanka wanted to walk by quietly and she always wanted things to work out on their own when it came to Ankit but this time, she wanted to stop him. Just once, to have a conversation with him to get a feel out of it. 

"Ankit. Where are you going all dressed up?"

Ankit does a doubletake as he hears Priyanka speaking to him. They normally didn't cross paths and when they did they didn't talk as he rushed out instantly. 

"I'm not going anywhere. Karan's girlfriend's family is coming over today."

Priyanka gasps. "Is that today? Why did no one tell me?" She starts to think of all the dresses that she could possibly wear today. 

Ankit shrugs, fixing his collar and looking at her. "Just wear something nice." He takes a look at her from head to toe and then offers her a smile. "Pink is a good colour."

Priyanka feels her cheeks burn and she looks at her pink top. When she looks up, Ankit's already gone. She lets out a sigh and moves a strand of her hair behind her ear once again, taking one last glance at Ankit's door before she goes in her room.

Priyanka ends up wearing pink. She matched her earrings with her dress and when she got down, she went to the kitchen to help her mom out. Ankit was already there with the sweets in one hand, one button of his shirt unbuttoned. 

"Beta, take the samosas and place them on the table. You too, Ankit." Her mom smiled as she patted Ankit's shoulder. "Thank you for your help."

As they went to the hall, Ankit took the samosa's plate from her hands. "You wore pink."

"Not for you." As soon as it slipped out of her mouth, Priyanka shut her eyes and wanted to slap a hand on her mouth. She peeked at Ankit through her lashes to see his reaction but his reaction was neutral.

"I didn't say it was." He got up and left the room leaving Priyanka a mess in her thoughts. She wished she had a filter right at the moment but it just slipped out. She hoped that she didn't mess things up or got him to think of her in a different way, especially since this was day one of them actually having a conversation. She definitely did not want to ruin that. 

Priyanka was left with the worry of what was on Ankit's mind.

Here's some stuff to think about.

 So Priyanka already has some feelings for Ankit. Do you think Ankit feels the same way?

What might be holding Ankit back from talking to Priyanka? Leave a comment down below with your thoughts. This story might be either fast paced or slow paced, I haven't decided yet but the chemistry will be there. I already have it in my mind.
