Nikhil took her to an exclusive Chinese restaurant. It was a small restaurant with around ten tables . The furnishings and decor hinted at its exclusiveness . All the walls had pastel colours while the tables were round in shape with beautiful printed silk table cloths.
The restaurant was perfect for a romantic date.
However it seemed to be a popular restaurant because it was almost full. However Nikhil had already made reservations so they got a table in five minutes .
They had been given a corner table which had a beautiful view of the garden. Their table had a red rose on in the centre and two wine glasses were placed in front of them.
Again the menu didn't have any prices. This made Jiya uncomfortable.
Nikhil asked Jiya to order. She ordered for chilli honey potatoes and fried dry garlic chicken as starters. For main course she ordered fried rice and veg manchurian and shredded lamb in garlic sauce.Nikhil was enjoying the fact that Jiya enjoyed her food.
Jiya loved Chinese so she relished the food . While eating the fried rice she closed her eyes and murmured" mmm" .They tasted heavenly and it was her favorite dish .She licked her lips.
Nikhil's eyes followed her tongue which was licking her lips.Her tongue, her expressions of satisfaction were a major turn on for him.
Never before had he considered eating to be so erotic.
Her actions were playing havoc with his self control. It was as if she was deliberately teasing him but he knew she was unaware of the effects of her actions.He had agreed on the friendship thing but he was as not sure how he could continue being friends with her.
Jiya was so immersed in her food that after sometime she realised that Nikhil was not speaking and he seemed to be staring at her.
Something was wrong because Nikhil who was a good conversationalist was quiet today.
"Nikhil you are not saying anything ? What's wrong?"
"No I am just enjoying the food."
"I can agree with that because the food is delicious."
"Nikhil I am full . What will you have for desert ?"
"What if I say you?"
"Come on Nikhil don't fool me?"
"But I may be saying the truth?"
Suddenly the atmosphere changed. Nikhil seemed to be serious so Jiya became uncomfortable. She could see that Nikhils's expressions had changed. When he had mentioned friendship Jiya had been relieved. She was too young to pursue any romantic relatioship
But now if the situation changed she would have to lose a good friend. She liked Nikhil. He was a good person and she considered him a friend but nothing more. He might be very handsome but she had no such interest in him.
The way he was looking at her showed that he desired her. Suddenly the atmosphere had become charged with sexual tension.
Nikhil placed his hand on top of her and she pulled her hand back.
"Nikhil I am not ready for any emotional entanglement . I also do not want to loose a friend."
"Jiya I am not forcing you but I do like you very much.However I am prepared to wait. Let's just remain friends for the time being and see where this goes from here.,"he placed her hand in his and then kissed her hand lightly.
Jiya could see from his eyes that his feelings were genuine but she appreciated that he was not forcing her.
