THE MISTRESS ✔️ (COMPLETED)

5~ Dining Together

Eshaan was excited as he got dressed to meet the beautiful Monica. He was restless at the same time. For the first time he took long to decide what to wear for the evening. Finally, after a lot of debating he chose a printed blue Tee and white denim. He couldn't stop smiling as he combed and gelled his brown hair. He applied generous amount of cologne, he had borrowed this from Kabir. He wore his wrist watch and looked at his reflection.

'All the best, Eshaan.' He said to himself as he adjusted the short sleeves. It was slightly tight around his biceps. He sat on the sofa and wore his white sneakers. He huffed getting up and grabbed his car keys from the coffee table in front of him.

As he drove to one of Mumbai's rooftop café, Eshaan reminisced everything that happened after the phone call. Initially, he was nervous. A rarity in his case. Monica sounded sexy AF and she was the one leading the conversation. Then, Eshaan picked up and asked her out for dinner. She agreed instantly. He was relieved.

Eshaan parked his car in front of the gate and handed his car key to the valet. He adjusted the sleeves of the Tee once again and tugged on the hem. Then, he took out a mouth fresher from his pant pocket and sprayed it into his mouth. Quickly, he combed his hair with his fingers and walked towards the building.

Eshaan had booked seats for two. As he was led by the waiter he looked around. At this time of the year it was hot and so the café was almost empty. Eshaan thought if he should look for a table inside. But before he could say anything they had reached his seat. Eshaan smiled back at the waiter and pulled a seat. As soon as he sat he took out his phone from his pant pocket and texted Monica.

Eshaan: Reached café. And you?

Then he placed his phone on the table. He stared at it for a moment before looking around.

Asilo rooftop café was a posh café in Mumbai. It had a plush off-white sofa with some seats while elegant off-white leather chairs with wooden armrest at some. Since Eshaan wanted intimate seats for privacy and so he got the chair ones. The sofa ones are next to large glass parapets. The view of the city and the skyscrapers was amazing. Eshaan looked up when a waiter called. He ordered a glass of water and shifted in his seat. Just then his phone beeped and quickly he picked it up.

Monica: Downstairs will be there in five minutes

Eshaan smiled placing his phone back on the table. He looked up towards the entrance and impatiently waited for her. Flashes of her from previous night made him more restless to see her again. There was something different about her. No other girl has managed to drive Eshaan so anxious so fast. He kept looking and just when he was about to avert his gaze a tall beautiful girl walked in.

She wore a one-shoulder grey top with a white scarf around her neck and white pleated mini-skirt. He stared at her long gorgeous legs. She matched her attire with grey ankle length boots and a wristwatch. She looked around cluelessly. Eshaan snapped out from his daze and straightened in his seat. He raised his arm and waved at her. Monica spotted him. He smiled at her and she smiled back.

Eshaan shifted in his seat as he watched her cat-walk towards him. Though she was looking at his face Eshaan found it difficult to not look at her legs.

'Hey.' She smiled at him.

'Hey.' Eshaan rose slightly from his seat. He sat back when she pulled a chair for herself.

He looked at her as she placed her elbows on the table and overlapped her palms. She looked around and then at him.

'Posh place. You come here often?' She asked him. Eshaan noticed a bright glint in her eyes. Eshaan cleared his throat and nodded.
