No matter how sad you are there is this one person who is capable of making you smile by doing something simple. You are blessed if you have that person in your life.

I had planned much stalking to do this weekend but first party and the then this dinner ruined my schedule. Mom had found it a great idea to invite Mr.Hyder for dinner on a Sunday evening along with his family that basically means Esmael and Asher. I am sure she wanted Jenna to come as well but I was sure she wouldn't with Mr Hyder around.

So here we were, sitting at the dinner table, bored as hell. Mom dad and Mr Hyder were well enjoying but here is a different scene entirely. Asher is back to being moody, the reason lies somewhere in Mr. Hyder's presence, I assume. I am not in a mood too because lately I am feeling like I need to know so much and I am ignorant to many things that I ought to know. Esmael and Emir are having a nice conversation. Zayn had to go somewhere so he didnt join us for dinner and Isra left just after taking the appetizer complaining about her stomach ache.

Our cook, Dora comes and serves the dessert. And that is the dish I had been waiting for this whole time, Icecream cake topped with caramel and chocolate. My mouth begins to water at the mere sight. I look up at Asher and giggle to see him mirroring my reaction. Its Dora's masterpiece and we both love it.  

Just then my phone rings and I excuse muself and take the call. When I come back I catch Asher pulling my plate towards himself. NO! THAT IS MINE!

I go and sit at my place opposite to the Hyder brothers. When I am sure that no body is looking I snatch it back, "You ate your piece. Its mine."

"I wanted more and there wasn't so dear Dora suggested I should take your piece. She will make ypu more tomorrow." He shrugs pulling it back.

"I wanna eat now." I say but he pays no attention.

"You are the host I am the guest. Learn to sacrifice your meal for a guest and back off. These are basic manners." He says and pops a spoonful into his mouth.

"To hell with the manners! I want my piece!" I pull it towards me and eat a bigger spoon, so big that a drop of chocolate trickles down from the corner of my mouth. Asher chuckles calls me ill mannered again and takes it back.

"It will melt and no body will get to eat it!" He says as he pulls it towards himself.

"Then give it to me." I mirror his action.

"Its too delicious for you." -Him.

"Its too cold for you."-Me.

"Why? Cause I am too hot for it?" He winks.

"Shut up and let me eat it." Me.

"You already need to lose few pounds." Him

"Did you just call me fat?" Me

"No. But yes thats what I was implying." Him

"You dont comment on a girl's weight and get away with it." Me

"You dont steal a guy's food and get away with it." Him

"Liar! You stole my piece. I didn't."

"Dora allowed me. I didn't steal it."

"Well its not Dora's!" We continue while pulling the plate turn by turn. 

"Keep your paws away kitten." Him

"Keep your fangs away viper!" Me.

"Ayana!" I look up to see my mom glaring at me. She is red with anger and I am in trouble. "Be just a little civilized. A little at least!" She says just this much but I know she will admonish me later. Uh oh.
