When The Ex Meets

13. Date

As I moved out of FCC building, I spotted him in his car waiting for me, like he said he would.

I went ahead and got into his car. He said nothing and just quietly drove off. I looked outside from the window.
The city light was really tempting, the street lamps were towering above us as it glowed brightly up there. The lights coming out of the windows of those buildings, which were guarded by the road side, looked like some mosaic.

Suddenly my stomach growled.
I hadn't have anything from the afternoon and now I was hungry.
I looked at Ryan. He was focused on the road ahead.
"Shall we eat outside today?" I asked, eyeing him. I'm in no mood to cook anything for me.

He turned towards me, slightly taken back, but soon his usual smirk made its way up to his lips, "Are you asking me out, Moon?"
His gaze shifted back on the road, but his smirk stayed there, "I'll only go, if you are asking me out on a date."

I scoffed. This boy never gets tired of flirting, huh?
"Fine! Let's call it a dinner date." I tried to suppress my grin, "Will Mr. Ryan Sharma go out with me?" I giggled.

"With honor." he answered, laughing, as he parked the car to some near by restaurant.

As we got into the place, I noticed its sophistication. The tables were neatly arranged and the aura inside holds romance and peace in it.
We headed towards a seat beside the glass which displayed the beautiful night city of outside. But then something struck me and I quickly went ahead to get to the seat before him.
He eyed me suspiciously, as I pulled the chair out, gesturing him to sit, "I asked you out, so I need to treat you like a prince. Shouldn't I?" I grinned.

"No. I should be the one doing this." He broke into a smile, as he grabbed my hand and pulled me to sit on that chair, while he went across the table to sit in front of me.
He shook his head, smiling, "Why are you even like this?"

"Because I get the opportunity to be with you." I winked at him.

I could see that I had caught him off guard, and before he could comeback with some answer, the waiter came to our table to take the orders.

After we gave our orders, he left.
Ryan smiled to me, smugly, "So let's start with customary."

I hitched up my eyebrows, "Customary?"

Ryan nods his head cutely, "Yup!" He looked at me with twinkling eyes, "What are your hobbies?"

I chuckled, "Sleeping can be considered as hobby, right?"

"I'm afraid not, Moon." He laughed.

I really used to miss our time together like this, when we used to enjoy each others company so much that the rest of our surroundings didn't even seem to exist.

"So, tell me yours?" I asked him, as he acts interested.

"Uhm.... So let me think..." He rested his one palm on the table, while with the other he held up his face, as he tapped his chin with his finger, pretending to think.

He suddenly leaned towards me on the table, his face so close to me, "My hobby is gazing Moon."

I gulped hard.
I know which 'Moon' he is talking about. And the way he is leaning forward isn't healthy for my poor heart at all.

I tried to laugh off the fact that he was making my heart beats crazy, as I pushed him back lightly.

The waiter came on apt time, as I sighed relief. He served the delicious looking dishes on our table and we savoured the taste of each one of them.
As we finished our food, Ryan pulled out his wallet to pay.

"Wait, let me pay. I asked you out." I stopped him from paying. I don't like people paying for me.

"So?" He hitched up his eyebrow, "I'm paying and that's it." He tried to pull out his card to hand it to the waiter, but I stopped him again.

"Okay, fine. Let's just split, okay?" I asked him, as I tried to pay the half money.
But he was faster. He already handed over his card and paid off the bill.

I frowned at him, looking displeased.

"If you want to pay, then you can pay me back with other things." He winked at me.

My jaw dropped. I should have saw it coming.

He smirked, as he pulled me out of the place with him.

Soon he drove to my house. He parked in front of my apartment, as I grabbed my bag and other stuffs, ready to leave.

"Thanks for the dinner. Good night." I faced towards him, before opening the door of the car.

"Wait. That's it?" He asked, narrowing his eyes.

"What else?" I had no idea what he was talking about.

"I don't think this is how you say 'good night' after a date." He licked his lips lightly. I was unable to pull away my eyes from him, as he stared back at me with an intensity that can burn holes in my soul.

My throat feels dry suddenly and my words betrayed me. I know at least he deserves a good night kiss after this date, but what I'm afraid is of that, what will lead after that kiss! I don't know if I can control myself around him anymore.

"Can't I even have a kiss?" He observed every movement of me, as I shifted in my seat uncomfortably. I don't know what to do!
"Okay, sorry. I didn't mean to get you uncomfortable. I really didn't want to push you over this." He sighed, looking away.

Okay, screw everything! Screw my reasoning mind!
I want him and he wants me back. And I don't give a damn about the rest!

I lose my control over myself, as I grabbed him by his collar, pulling him towards me, stomping my lips on him.
He was surprised for a bit, but he soon got over it as he pulled me back towards him.
His lips moved in sync with mine, perfectly fitting with each other. My body immediately starts responding to his touch, as my heartbeat accelerated and body temperature rises up.
God! I missed him so much!
He pulled me into the driving seat, where he was sitting, not letting go of me. As he made me sit on top of him, he pushed the leaver of the seat as it leaned backwards, giving us more space. His lips never left mine, as he cupped my face, supporting it there. My hand travelled into his hair, while he held me from my waist.

This is so overwhelming to the point that I can't think of anything else but only Ryan and how he caressed me.

I ran out of breath as he finally pulled apart his lips from mine. He rested his forehead on me, while looking deeply into my eyes. I sighed in contentment. I'll never regret sharing my part of life with him, because I can't. Howsoever I see this, but I can't deny that this guy in front of me is my world within.
He looked so mesmerizing right now, that no TV show can ever display this beauty.

He smiled smugly, before placing a sweet kiss on my forehead, "Good night, Moon."

Oh yes, I love him.

"Good night, prince. Dream of me." I smiled back at him, as I moved out of the car.
I didn't want let go of him. I wanted to stop time then and there!

"How can't I?" He waved at me and drove away.

I watched him go, but it didn't hurt. Because I know he is never gonna leave my side.
