Just in a day

TIRA

‘Seems like you are right’ he said.
I have no idea what this sentence did to me but I blushed and smiled like an idiot and I could see that he was enjoying it. He was devilishly handsome, he wasn't smart, he was HANDSOME.. He looked like  a prince in the white shirt but his  leather jacket contradicted his resemblance and made him look like a mafia.   When he first came and asked me about my meal I thought it was just hospitality but now I think it is something else and before it becomes something, I have to put an end to it, but I really don't want to.
‘Listen, i think you should go now and ‘interact’ with other customers’. I said.
‘I'm already interacting with our best customer’. He replied.
‘Okay fine, what do you want?’ I said as I just couldn’t let this play go on.
‘Your name please, and it would be really great if you can give me your phone number as well. He said while winking at me.
‘My name is Tira and i will not give you my phone number and i think you should leave’
‘Hello Tira, it was a pleasure to meet you. My name is Rivaan and please don't ask me to leave yet’. Before I could say anything he continued.
‘I'm not here asking you on a date , I just want to talk to you and if you are going to ask if I have done this before then no I haven't but that doesn't mean that i don't go out on dates. Girls ask me out so technically i haven't asked anyone out so that means i didn't lie before. If you are gonna say that we don't know each other then i have an answer for that as well. I know you enough to take you out for a coffee, just as friends if you want. I know your name is Tira, you love dead poets society cause you ordered my captain meal and i also know that you have a bandage on your hand which means you probably scratched your hand while opening that wooden door or maybe doing something else and i also know that i have never talked for so long in my entire life, so please just give a chance, i will take you to the places you have never seen.’
‘I have that bandage from an IV drip that i had for twenty one years and yes im twenty one years, so pretty much my whole life and today i finally removed it, so your bandage bid was wrong Rivaan and i guess that means you did not know me enough to ‘take me out as a friend’. ’ I replied.
He bowed his head and got up and said that he is sorry, that he crossed a line and will not bother me again and  that I can take any book I want and specifically mentioned that it's not a kind of bribe or anything like that, just that he wanted to do that for me.
I knew he was deeply sorry and to be honest it was not his mistake. He just wanted to take a girl out and maybe it is normal, not maybe it is normal. It's just that it isn't normal in my life but that doesnt mean I can't pretend it is. Just for one day. Just for today.
So when he turned and was about to leave i said,
‘Can you really take me to the places i have never seen?’
He turned and gave me a soft smile and sat on the chair again and said ‘You don't have to do that. I acted like a jerk and I should've respected your space and shouldn't have bothered you and I'm really sorry for what I did, truly Iam’.
‘That is not what I asked, I asked if you can really take me to the places i have never seen and i'm not doing it for any other reason believe it or not’ i said while directly looking at him. It was the first time I looked into his eyes. They were black but they were different. It was not the kind of black that scares you or the black that you want to escape,it was the kind of black that consumes you, that gives you power, the black that drowns you and saves you at the same time.
He looked at me intently and smiled and said ‘I can and I would love to’.
