'Haider, please let me arrange your plate.' Alina leaned reaching for a samosa and plate. Haider rose from his seat and held her wrist. She paused while Meera drew in a sharp breath. Slowly, Alina looked into his eyes, he locked their gaze together with her hand in his. Meera kept staring at their hands, feeling fidgety. Just then Jessica barged in complaining about "no one listening to her." She stood still upon seeing a man in the house; his back facing her. She folded her arms and walked towards them.
'What is this, Alina? Let Mr. Agarwal know about your boyfriend—' Her voice trailed off when Haider turned to look at her; annoyed. Her arms dropped and her mouth opened as she looked at him in disbelief.
Meera and Alina passed aglance and grinned at each other.

Alina stole glances at him. Her gaze lingering over his biceps that peeked from inside his half sleeve shirt. She licked her lips and looked away. Haider was so well toned; she hadn't noticed it over his blazers or coats. Even though they had a decent distance between them, she could feel proximity. She clasped her hands together and pretended to focus on the walkway. Haider looked at her from the corner of his eyes. Just then, she twisted her ankle and leaned over at him. Swiftly, he grabbed her waist and her upper arm. She stared at him and he looked back lovingly. Time stilled for him as their gaze locked. He tightened his grip around her waist and caressed her arm with his fingers reaching to her palms and held her hand. Alina gulped softly.

Alina returned to her apartment with a smile on her face. Mindlessly, she dropped the keys in the tray.
'Hey, what happened? Did you guys kiss?' Meera's sudden burst of hyperactive imagination stumped Alina.
How was the Teaser, guys? Do you think what Meera said actually happened *_*
Drop your thoughts in the comment, my lovelies *muaaah* *muaaah*
