We both decided to spend the rest of the day together. We left the cafe after finishing up. Now, as a man, it was my responsibility to bring her to a place where I could enjoy the rest of the day with her, but unfortunately, my mind was empty, so I was confused.
"Crap!!! My mind is blank. The place that I visit the most is the game parlor. That would be childish if I brought her to a place like that. She might think of me as a 15-year-old nerdy boy. What would be my impression if I told her to visit the game parlor?"(Here I was rushed with thoughts.)
"Hey, are you listening to me? What happened, dude? Talk to me!!! Suraj..." (Nikitha)
"Yes!!! I am listening."(Suraj)
"Where are we going? Is it some kind of secret?" (She was looking at me with hope.)
"Yes, we are going to my favorite place." (Suraj)
I grabbed her hand and started running in a random direction. I was so fast that I forgot about the people around me. Then I stopped by the place, opened my eyes, and saw that gaming parlor in front of me.
Woah!!! Is this your favorite place? I never knew you were such a nerd as well. (Nikita, with excitement)
Yes, this is my favorite place. (Suraj with waterfall tears)
Hey, don't just stand there; let's get inside. We have already wasted a lot of time. (Nikita, with excitement)
Watching that place made Nikita excited, and it looked like she was enjoying her time with me. I noticed that in her smile.
Let's get in... (Nikita grabbed my arm tightly and then got inside with me.).
Both of us played games all day long, and she was enjoying every moment. I saw her losing to me at first and then winning. Her smile and sadness—everything I found was making her even more beautiful. I realized that it was her true self.
And!!! Take this... (Nikita)
Oh!!! I lost again. (Suraj)
Yay!!! I won again. This was my third victory, Suraj. I thought you were a pro gamer, but I think I am far better than you. (Nikita was excited and happy.) While getting happy over her winnings, she hugged me and didn't realize what she did. She saw others watching both of us and getting jealous, which made her realize it.
Sorry!!! My bad... (Nikita)
Her face was all red, and my mind rushed with thoughts about her being cute. Suraj. Why is your face all red? (Nikita)
Nothing; it's too hot inside; maybe that's why. (Suraj)
If that is so, then let's get outside and get some fresh air. (Nikita)
After that, Nikita grabbed my arm, took me outside of the parlor, and made me sit on the bench.
Wait here for a second. I will be back in a minute. (Nikita)
Okay... (Suraj)
The moment she left, almost 7 minutes passed. I was waiting for her, but she didn't come back. After that, 15 minutes passed, so I took out my phone and started swiping through Instagram reels. I don't know what was happening in my life on that day, but breakup and dating advice reels were showing up in my feed. It was all regarding how a girl feels insecure about you during a date. Also, my mind was bothered by thinking about her leaving me in the park alone. Almost 30 minutes passed, so I stood up and started searching for her. I was in a rush and saw her standing in the extreme heat of the sun in the big line, just waiting for her turn to buy the drinks. Looking at her made me calm down, then I got back to the place as the character went back to the checkpoint.
After that, she came back. Her hands were filled with drinks and snacks. I was looking at her and asking...
What took you so long? (Suraj)
Ohh!!! Sorry... I saw you were tired and looking at the poster of a juice advertisement, so I guess that you might be thirsty, so I went to the store to buy you something to drink... (Nikita)
Listening to those words made me understand that she cares about me. I was blushing and all red. I was confused because no one ever treated me like that in the first place.
Thanks... You don't have to do this all. (Suraj)
Ahhh!!! Mr. Suraj, we are on a date, so it's very normal if a partner is doing all this for you. (Nikita)
I understand, but as a man, it's my responsibility to do all of that. (Suraj)
Ohh Really?? I think taking a girl to the gaming parlor isn't a manly thing. (Nikita)
Well, I am sorry about that... (Suraj)
Fu!!! Hahahaha!!! You are such a child, dude. Look at your reddened face. (Nikita)
After that, she placed all the things sideways on the bench, held my hand, and said,
Mr. Suraj, there is nothing childish in you. Don't get flustered. There is nothing manly and respectable about being on a date. All we have to do is enjoy every moment together for now as much as we can. Even though it was my first time asking out a guy for a date, (Nikita)
I saw her face reddened and blushing. I was also shocked for a moment. I thought to hug her, but holding hands was enough. I was able to feel her warmth and her soft skin, which was smooth like butter. Even her voice was making me fall for her even more and more.
I don't know what to say because it is my first time as well. From a very young age, no one ever talked to me the way you do. It made me happy that you did all of this for me. I just wish to have more dates like this with you. (Suraj)
She was looking at me with her eyes all big. Her cheeks were red, and she was shocked. Her reaction made me pale and insecure. So, I started apologizing.
I'm sorry, Nikita. I didn't mean anything wrong. (Suraj)
LOL!!! Why are you apologizing? It just shocked me because it sounded almost like a confession.
When you said that you wanted to have more dates with me like this, (Nikita)
After that, both of us were filled with laughter, and then everything settled down. We both had a drink together, and then the time slowly passed.
Hey, it is almost late. I think we should leave now. (Nikita)
Yes, we should get back to home. (Suraj)
I had fun, and our company has assigned us a task, so I have to submit it by tomorrow night. (Nikita)
Yes, my seniors have also assigned me a task regarding some projects. (Suraj)
Yeah, we should head home now... (Nikita)
Okay... (Suraj)
Bye, See you later. (Nikita)
Ahh!!! Hey Nikita, what about we should work together? (Suraj)
Yes, on what? (Nikita)
Regarding our task, we can help each other as we are our neighbors, and it's Sunday tomorrow. (Suraj)
Yes, why not? Let's do it... (Nikita)
Okay, then... (Suraj)
Sharp at noon. I will be waiting outside of your apartment door. (Nikita)
Sure... (Suraj)
After that, we both left to arrive at home. We were both blushing, even though I was blushing more, and my mind was filled with thoughts. I called myself the most horrible person on earth.
THE END
