Chapter 6: FIRST DATE

Before I met you I never knew what it was like to look at someone and smile for no reason.

KAVYA’S POV:

I woke up the next day to see my cell phone beeping. As I adjusted my vision to the sunlight, I saw a couple of missed calls and 5 unread messages. Wondering who could it be, I checked and saw both the calls were from my mother. And all 5 unread messages were from Ahaan. Looking at his name, I just couldn’t help smiling.

First – Wanted to call but didn’t know if you were awake.

Second (just a minute later) – Should I just call you? I don’t know if you are a morning person. Maybe I won’t.

Third (three more minutes later) Are you ignoring me?

Fourth (another 5 minutes later) now I really think you’re ignoring me. I guess this is my 10th message and you still haven’t replied.

Fifth (10 minutes ago) Reply ASAP.

This guy was so impatient. He had been messaging me for the last half an hour and still hadn’t given up. I took my cell and replied.

Good you didn’t call. I am NOT a morning person. And why would I ignore you? Stop exaggerating. You just sent 5 messages. So what happened? Why this sudden rush to fill my inbox?

Before I could get up from my bed, he called.

“Good morning,” I answered. We chatted for a while. He asked me my plans for the day. He wanted to take me for his Ahaan date. We decided to go on Friday evening. Today was Monday and that meant I had to wait 5 days for it. And I was growing restless by the minute.

As I was leaving for work, I saw his message.

You’re a sadist. Making me wait for 5 days. ;) 

I just smiled and replied, “Make the date worth the wait.” :)

The next couple of days went by routinely.

I still hadn’t told Aliya about him asking me out and thought I would come clean before she found out from elsewhere and then I would be dead meat. I took her out for lunch on Thursday. We went to this local café. As we sat down she noticed that something was up and sat quietly waiting for me to start.

“Well, as you know very well I have something to tell you. Don’t freak out okay?”

Before I could finish she said,”Ahaan asked you out, didn’t he?” I was just dumbstruck.

“How did you know?”

She just smiled coyly and said, “Don’t fret so much. I knew that day in the car. When you fell asleep he asked me about the concert and found out all the necessary information. He tried to act all casual about it but I knew he was clearly interested. So tell me everything. Is he the same? And you know what you’re getting into, right?”

Eyes full of concern she looked at me questioningly. “He has changed. He still is cocky and arrogant but he’s learned to care about people. And you have no idea how sweet he is. And he makes me laugh.” I filled her on all the details, the concert night, the grocery shopping, and him asking me out.

After I was done, she said (again with concern) smiling, “I am happy for you but I still will take time to believe that guy.” She took her time to trust people and she always kept an eye out for me. That’s what made her such an amazing friend. I just shrugged and understood her. If I would have been in her place I would have been the same. After our lunch was done, we got back to our respective workplaces.

Finally the D-day arrived. It had been a long wait and I was hyperventilating. I didn’t know what to wear. I hadn’t been on many dates in my life. Heck, I had never been on a date before. I heard a knock on the door. I went to see it was Vidhi. Looking at my expression, she decided I needed help. Finally we selected these grey pants with a pleated waist, loose and straight. I wore a single strap plain white tee on top of it and I tucked it in. I thought I looked okay. As if to add to that, Vidhi curled my hair so that they fell on my shoulders. After applying a bit of gloss and kohl, I got into my two inch black heels.

As if on cue, the doorbell rang. Vidhi opened the door. It was Ahaan. He was wearing a bottle green shirt which wasn’t tucked in with the first 2 buttons open and a pair of blue jeans. He looked so sexy. I had always wondered how he never had to make an effort to look good. He was tall, lean and had an athletic build. He ran his fingers through his black short hair while waiting for me.

He looked at me. He assessed me from head to toe and then mouthed ‘WOW’. I couldn’t help but blush.

“Ready to go, gorgeous?” he asked.

“Yup,” I replied smiling.

“Before I forget”, he removed his hand from behind and gave me chocolates, “I got you chocolates since I knew you hated flowers. I thought chocolates were a better option.”

I just smiled, taking the chocolates from him and I placed them on the kitchen counter. I looked at him and said softly, “They are perfect.”

He just beamed and led me out the door.
