The car stopped in front of a huge heritage building with numerous Windows all lit up. The front was in a curve giving it a Morden feel, Under the porch there were people probably guards.
'What the hell is this?? Money speaks??' she yelled in my mind with a disgusted look forming on her face.
What is this building and why we are here. This man is serious trouble , just when she was thinking all of this Daksh walked out of the car and got to her door.
Daksh reached her door and opened it behaving like a proper gentleman as he is trained to be from the childhood.
She comes out of the car but doesn't look too happy about the idea of having a meal here.
'I know I kinda agreed to accept your apology... but this...??' she said fearing the scary sight of the upcoming bill. The place looked beautiful but everything has a price.
'Its a good Italian restaurant trust me.' he replied he couldn't comprehend her resistance towards this place.
Why she don't wanna eat here?
'Does this place have some bad reputation' he thought trying to figure out the reason for her sudden weird expressions.
'Who's going to pay for this? Your father?' she asked sarcastically. She couldn't understand how calm he is in wasting money.
'No, why would he??...I will' he answered innocently confused by her question, his reply made her drop her jaw.
'This guy just don't get it' she thought and walked ahead towards the door.
Daksh gave keys to the person behind the podium to park his car as another man opened doors for them.
The lobby was shining filled with numerous chandelier the place looked royal. Her eyes widened 'ok this is more expensive than I thought' she stopped and stood beside him.
'Listen, we can still run away I won't tell anyone, I promise' she whispered and suggested that they still have a chance to get out of this place.
Daksh glanced at the small lady who looks ready to turn around and run away which made him chuckle inside. 'What is she even thinking' he thought smiling inside
He hold her hand and showed her the way towards the dining. Pulling out a chair in front he made her sit there and moved to get to his seat.
'Eat something and gather energy for further argument' he said with amusement.
Waiter served them water and provided them both with the menu before excusing himself.
'I am thinking of having a ravioli'
Daksh looked at her and ask 'What you want?'
'Pizza' she answered in a second without looking at the menu
He was baffled by her reply who order a pizza in an Italian restaurant for dinner. 'How about you try something new?' he offered 'I am sure pizza is a regular thing for you'
'Yes but That's the only dish I know. What if I order something not upto my taste and ruin my already ruined day' she sobbed pitifully while explaining.
One thing Daksh has learned with all these interactions is that she is very dramatic with her expressions.
'Drama queen' he whispered
'What??' she asked looking up at him in surprise. She heard him say something but couldn't comprehend as voice was so low.
'I said how about you trust me?' Daksh answered immediately
'Trust you??' she stared at him like he just made a joke.
'Yes let me order for you' he picked up the menu again and decided for her. Calling the waiter he order two dishes.
'You want wine?' he asked casually
'No thank you' she answered
Waiter turned back to bring their order and again the table went quite. He again noticed her looking outside but that shine was absent in her eyes the one he saw in the car.
He saw flashbacks of that heavenly smile of hers and this time again his heart skipped a beat.
'What's happening to you Daksh calm yourself
Down' he closed his eyes trying to convince himself bringing his mind back to the normal state.
'Scenery outside not changing every second?' he asked repeating what she told him in the car, maybe that's reason that shine is missing.
She chuckled 'Yes it doesn't feel that good can't wait to back to car again'
Its a new experience for me to go out with a guy to eat. I am not that comfortable with anyone that too a man but I feel at peace with him, a stranger. Life is weird!
The waiter brought our dishes and placed them on the table. Looking at my plate I can tell its a rice dish with some meat pieces, I guess chicken. It feels hot and looks tempting maybe it was a good idea to trust him.
'Its chicken Risotto' he said passing her the spoon as she curiously stared at her plate wondering something.
She took a bite and her face brightened the shine was back in her eyes.
'Its so tasty, you were right' she yelled joy. Her smile made Daksh's heart smile. He isn't the type who can easily express everything like her as he has been taught not to let his feelings known to others but today looking at her his heart was at content. He could never thought there will be a day in his life when he will feel happy seeing someone eat.
'You don't know how hungry I was' she cried carrying on her drama like usual. She kept eating happily.
'Why you didn't have lunch?' he asked
'That lady... she made me go buy coffee for everyone. I had to run blocks and I tried to come back quickly still got no time to eat' she explained
'Which lady and why?' he asked in a concern tone as his brows furrowed. He can't believe someone will bully her like this, that too in his place.
'My department manager' she tried to reply with a filled mouth
'I wanna meet this lady' he said. His eyes going back to the coldness he had forgotten till now.
'She also wants to meet you. Thats why I asked you to come tomorrow'
'Ok let's meet her'
'Deal' she asked innocently
'Deal'
Naira was comfortable with him and was able to have a proper conversation it was new for her.
'I think I should tell him' she thought putting the spoon down.
