Chereads / Our First Meet... / Chapter 7 - Dinner Together

Chapter 7 - Dinner Together

We both changed our clothing and went to the kitchen area for dinner preparation. Nikita put on the apron that I always use. When she wore that apron on her, it suited her along with the outfit that she was wearing. I got so excited that I let some words slip out of my mouth.

So, cute. (Suraj)

What? (Nikita)

Nothing. (Suraj)

Nope, you just said something about me. Now, speak up. (Nikita)

It's just that you are looking so cute in the outfit already, and it makes you even cuter when you have that apron over it. (Suraj)

Oh yes!!! I liked it, though. It suits me as well. (Nikita)

From her reaction, it seemed that she was trying to maintain her composure.

Pass me the lighter. (Nikita)

Here it goes... (Suraj)

Cut off these vegetables and put them on the boil. After that, bring me the ingredients that are written on the phone screen from the fridge. (Nikita)

Yes ma'am. (Suraj)

Dude, just don't call me ma'am after you have confessed your feelings to me. (Nikita)

Okay then. What should I call you? (Suraj)

Just call me Nikita. (Nikita)

Okay, Nikita, from now on I will call you Nikki. (Suraj)

What? That isn't my name. (Nikita)

I know that, but this is the nickname that I am giving you. (Suraj)

Why? (Nikita)

I thought your name was awesome, but I wanted to give you a nickname that would suit your personality better. (Suraj)

Oh really!? Then I will call you Su. (Nikita)

What? What kind of nickname is that? I don't need any nicknames because you already called me stupid, moron. (Suraj)

No, at that time it was different, and now it is not. (Nikita blushing)

What? (Suraj)

Watching her face and hearing those words made me feel different. My heart was beating so fast that I thought it would explode or bounce off of my chest. Looking at her reaction made me want to tease her.

You know, you just made my heart skip a beat. (Suraj)

What? (Nikita with a red face)

Ah!!! Yeah... (Suraj)

If that's so, then I will do it one more time. (Nikita)

What? (Suraj)

Now, put them on a boil. (Nikita)

Yes, I am doing that. (Suraj)

From her reaction, it looked like my words did make her blush, but she was trying her best not to do something wrong. So, I decided to step up. While I was planning on something, I put the vegetables on boil. On my back, Nikita was standing and waiting for her turn. I knew that she was standing behind my back. But I thought of ignoring her.

Before I could turn over to her, she gave me a hug from behind and whispered in my ears slowly.

I let you win over me. (Nikita)

Hearing that from her made me flustered and frozen. I wasn't able to react to her words or actions. After that, she kept saying, and I kept on listening...

I know that you are trying to tease me, but I won't let you do it. It is not easy for anyone to tease. You need something different and unique to tease me and make me flustered. (Nikita)

Whispering her like that in my ears was giving me total chills. The scent of her hair was stopping me from reacting to her. Even hugging her from behind made me feel her heart racing. I was able to feel her warmth and intense heartbeats. It made me confused and hypnotized in the name of her.

Hah!!! The time is over. I think the vegetables are boiled now. (Nikita)

What? Yes, the vegetables. (Suraj)

Now, let me handle the rest from here. (Nikita)

Yes. But what were you doing to me? (Suraj)

You tried to tease me, but remember that that isn't easy. (Nikita)

We will see that. (Suraj)

Okay, I will be waiting for your next move. (Nikita)

After that, I went to the living area and opened my laptop. I put on my headphones and started playing some songs. Now here, I was busy in my world. Meanwhile, Nikita is in her thoughts...

Oh, Man!!! What have I done just now? It wasn't me at all. That wasn't me. Why am I so competitive over something? What should I think? I was about to make one wrong move, and I was about to lose my mind. I should be careful while making moves like that; otherwise, I will end up creating a mess.

Meanwhile, here, I am in my thoughts, listening to music.

Now, from her body language and posture, I figured out what I should be doing. So I will go and do the same with her. But I would prefer to wait for the right moment until dinner is ready and she is finished.

About an hour had already passed, and Nikita was storming in the kitchen. I was looking at her speed, and it looked like the girl was competitive. She was doing hard work, and her dedication can be seen in her looks.

After half an hour, the dinner was ready.

Hah! Finally, it is ready. Suraj, please, will you help me serve? (Nikita)

Yes, I am coming. (Suraj)

After that, I took out the dishes from the shelf and placed them on the slab. And Nikita started serving. Then I took all of that to the dining table, which also helped me. Now everything is done.

Finally, we are done. Now it's time to eat dinner. (Nikita)

Yes. Let's dig in. (Suraj)

After that, we had dinner together. When I had the first bite, it was really tasty.

Woah!!! Nikita, You are good at cooking. (Suraj)

Yes, I am good at roasting others as well. (Nikita)

What?? (Suraj)

Just kidding. (Nikita)

Both of us enjoyed the meal, and we had a great time together along with some chit-chat. When we both were finished, I collected all the dishes and put them in the sink. Meanwhile, Nikita was going toward the living area. I saw her defenseless, so I planned to do that with her as well. But before I could even react,.

She turned around, and I stopped all of a sudden, which caused me to fall over her. The next moment, she was lying down, and I was over the top of her, grabbing her arms. I saw her flustered face, and it startled me.

Hey, get off me. (Nikita)

Nope, not this time. (Suraj)

Please, get off me. (Nikita)

I tried doing the same. I closed my eyes, moved my head behind her ears, and then started whispering.

I won't stop now because this is my chance, Nikki. Now, you are going to see the other side that I have been on until now. You know that if you are competitive, then I am also smart enough to deal with you. I will pull out even more like that.

Hey, stop it. It tickles me there. Your breath is tickling my ears. (Nikita)

Nope, I won't stop. You don't know how much I love you. Each time I get close to you, I start to race. You even make my heart skip a beat. Even this scent of yours makes me feel even more different. You don't have to resist; after all, we are lovers. (Suraj)

When I whispered that in her ears, I was in my control, but I didn't want anything to happen to her. I felt the ultimate level of pain that every being in this universe feels, and I got knocked. It was like a single-hit-kill situation. That intense pain she gave me was nothing compared to the heartbreak I had faced.

Aahhh!!! (Suraj)

I am sorry, Su. (Nikita)

Aaaa!!! It hurts... (Suraj)

I was in intense pain, and it took me almost 5 minutes to get revived from that hit. While I was recovering from the pain, someone was playing the song 'Ghungroo Toot Gaye'. That was the worst scene I ever had and memory as well.

You okay!? (Nikita)

Nikita was worried about me.

Yeah!!! I am fine. (Suraj)

I am sorry. That was my natural response to the stimulus you created for me. (Nikita)

It is okay. You felt insecure, so you did. (Suraj)

After that, I gave her a tight hug to make her feel better. She was normal after that, but she was worried about something, so I asked.

What happened? Is something bothering you? (Suraj)

No, it's nothing. (Nikita)

I think it's almost time for you to head home now. (Suraj)

Yes, I am leaving. Also, I will return these to you after washing them. (Nikita)

While Nikita was leaving, she was a bit sad. I wasn't able to understand anything, so I asked her out.

Let me go with you; it's dark outside. (Suraj)

Hearing that from me made her smile, and then she agreed. While on the way to her home, she asked me something.

So, tell me. Do you have some kind of tragic past? (Nikita)

Yes, I do have one. (Suraj)

If that's so, then why don't you share it with me? (Nikita)

Do you have some kind of tragic past as well? (Suraj)

Yes, but you should be sharing at first. (Nikita)

You have done a lot for me, so let me hear your story as well for some time, because I want to know about you. (Suraj)

Nikita looked at me with some hope, and then before she could do anything, her home arrived.

Here, you have reached your destination. (Suraj)

Yes, thanks for dropping by. (Nikita)

It looked like Nikita wanted to talk more, but she didn't have enough time left. So, I asked her out.

Do you have plans for tomorrow? (Suraj)

Ah!!! Nope. (Nikita)

Then, would you like to go out, as it is Saturday tomorrow? (Suraj)

Yes... (Nikita)

She was happy again and then waved goodbye to me. I also get back home and set a reminder for tomorrow. Before I could go to bed, I remembered that

I HAVE TO WASH THE DISHES.

THE END
