The Kisses Of Life

Chapter 1

"Look I'm kinda forced into this!"
I stated while settling down at the table without even caring to look at the person sitting across the table.

"Good evening" came the reply.

After making myself comfortable, I dared to look at the speaker. I repeat DARED!

"So let's finish this..."

And my train of words derailed.

"As soon as possible" I gulped hard.

I'm utterly disappointed. This person is supposed to be my date!

No no....consider it in this way

THIS SHIT IS SUPPOSED TO BE MY DATE???

Pardon me for my choice of words but once i describe him you are gonna understand...

This guy is one of those most pathetic specimen of homosapiens i have ever encountered with!

Hmm.. i guess nothing is wrong with his brown eyes. Even teeth is clean and facial structure is good. Except that he ticks most of needed qualities for the list undesirable!

Oiled black hair parted and swiped to one side? Check

Stupid smile plastered on face making it look like cartoon? Check

Shoulders straightened to act manly which is nonexistent? Check

And...

What's up with this coat and tie???

For whom did he came in this blind date looking for? A potential future wife or his interviewer or something?

Emphasize more on blind please.

I think either my mum has gone blind or so desperate to marry me off that she lowered her standards of 'the perfect son in law'. My faith goes with the latter.

Standards lowered to the core of the Earth.

Am i that bad and ugly to my mum that she thought this is the best i deserve?

Before you start judging me for shamming this guy like this....look i'm not miss universe or something but at least i can proudly say i'm much more presentable than him. Or you can confide in with 'all girls are pretty in their own way!'

And for once and all i'm thankful that no one ever said that for a guy!

"Are you okay?"

His words make me realize that i was gaping at him like an idiot which i'm NOT!

"Huh? Oh yeah! It's just....i'm just too much shocked that i got a date with you" i stuttered faking my best smile.

"Oh trust me i get that reaction a lot!" He said adjusting his collar.

Never knew pigs can be narcissist too...

"Soo.... Ankit right?"

"And you Anees?"

"Yup"

"It's pleasure meeting you!"
With that he offered his hand. I took it and give it a gentle shake.

He began "So.."

"Look i don't mean to disrespect you but i'm not interested in marriage at all! Neither now nor later. I'm sorry you had to waste your time on me like this and i don't want you to dwell on any false hopes. So let's just eat something and talk and just leave?"

There i am! A straightforward girl. No beating around the bush. I'm pretty pleased with myself.

His smiled faded a little and thank God for it. That smile was stupid enough to cause brain damage.
