"Wow, Miss Lilly Singh. Going on a date?!" Anoshinie called out from the kitchen.
"Shut it Nanu. Its just coffee."
"With a very handsome British bloke. What even."
"Okay, Nosh. I have to go." Lilly walked out of the apartment with a blush on her face. He was handsome. She thought. But she had to focus. It was just a friendly gesture. Because he had asked. Focus. The LA weather was perfect. Lilly walked to the spot. The cafe by the corner.
Her breathing hitched when she saw Aman by the window. Fiddling with his thumb looking around. Lilly stood there she took a deep breath in before walking in.
Aman saw Lilly walk in. Wow, he thought to himself. "Hey Lilly." Aman stood up and walked towards her and pulled out the chair for her to sit.
"Thank you Aman." she blushed and looked down at the table. This is all new.
"So, how have you been?" Aman asked. Sipping from his cup of hot chocolate.
"I've been good." The conversation just started rolling and everything they talked about was easy and Lilly felt like she has known Aman forever. The talked and talked for what seemed hours. Lilly didn't even check her phone and neither did Aman.
Just then her phone began to buzz. Shit. "Aman I hate to do this to you but I have to go. I am late for something."
"Hey, let me drop you off. I have my car."
"No thanks Aman. I can walk it's close by."
"You sure?"
"Yup!" Lilly looked around. She grabbed the napkin from the table and wrote down her number. "Hmmm here. I would love to do this again sometime."
"Same here."
"Bye Aman."
"Bye Lilly. "
And she was off. She ran down the corner till she got to the building.
"Sorry I'm late." Lilly said; breathless.
(Let me know what you think okay!!)
