"Wow" he breathed. She was vision, climbing down the steps of her house in a white dress, her hair up and some loose tendrils loose, framing her face and giving her an effortless look. Her high heels doing nothing to make her look taller when Lakshya's tall frame towered in front of her.
"You look beautiful." finally able to utter the words freely, without being hesitant because of her reaction which was usually a wide-eyed look of disbelief followed by condemning those very words along with his feelings. His heart soared when she smiled shyly at him, her eyes glinting in the dark.
Ragini was overjoyed when she saw the look on his face when she came out of her front door. The appreciation and the silent admiration hadn't gone unnoticed by her, but when he'd said that she looked beautiful, she knew the hours she'd spent trying to make herself look elegant and graceful yet simple had paid off. She smiled as she stood in front of him and Lakshya let out a breath. He hadn't realized that he'd been holding his breath when she was descending down the steps.
"Shall we go?" she asked.
"Yes please." He opened the passenger side door and she stepped into the car, wondering why he hadn't gotten her flowers or chocolates or anything. This was quite unlike Lakshya. She turned her head to check the backseat, just to be sure that he had in fact got her flowers but left them in the car.
Lakshya pulled out of the driveway, smirking as he saw Ragini hustle about in her seat trying to get the full view of the back seat. "What happened, Ragini? Feeling uncomfortable?" he asked her with a poker face.
"Huh, oh nothing really. My seatbelt was just at the wrong angle, it was grazing my neck. It's fine now." she flustered and he let her off the hook, knowing what that she must be going nuts right now.
"Lakshya, I think you missed a turn. The way to Garden Inn was from the previous left turn."
"We're not going to Garden Inn." he said calmly.
"What? What do you mean we're not going to Garden Inn?! You said we would!" she was almost screaming and Lakshya was glad the windows of the car were pulled up.
"There was a slight change of plans. We're going someplace else." he said, struggling to keep a straight face.
"Someplace else, seriously? I didn't expect this from you, Lakshya. First you don't get me flowers, then you cancel a reservation at my favorite restaurant and now you're taking me someplace else?! Stop the car right now, I just want to go home." she fumed. Her face was turning red and she was moving around her hands, gesturing maniacally as she spoke.
Lakshya stopped the car at a red light and said, "Do you trust me? If you do then keep sitting cause you'll enjoy what's coming up next. If you don't then I won't stop you from getting off the car or even turning it around and taking you back home. Take your pick, Ragini." He said, desperately hoping that she chose the former.
