Wow! I suddenly felt all-powerful. Nobody had ever tried to beg me for mercy on his or her self-proclaimed crimes like Aariz currently was. I mean, c'mon, the guy's stormy eyes looked actually pleading!
And more of a shocker was- The Aariz Deewan, who since after our confession of feelings had been all touchy feely, always finding excuses to hold me, hadn’t even tried to place a finger on me yet. Oh no, he was even walking by maintaining a safe distance. Fisting or pushing his hand away whenever it was near to brush mine until now.
Whoa! Seriously, why was Aariz behaving like we were alone for the first time?! As if I would ditch him if he did not behave.
Not even trying to hide my laugh I sat inside the car while Aariz chuckled nervously, shaking his head and again moving a self-conscious hand over his shirt and his face, as he sighed heavily closing his eyes, before shutting the door.
33- Dazed
Sani
After driving for a while, Aariz pulled the car over, saying,
“This is our destination.”
My first thought was ‘Wow! This looks fun already!’
Beautiful seashore...Nice!
“C'mon Sani, shall we?” Aariz grinned, clicking his fingers in front of my face to bring me out of the trance.
I eagerly nodded and off we were, walking on the beach. At least trying to... Since I had no idea we were coming on a beach, I had worn heels and was having some difficulty walking through the sand in them.
“So what would you like to have? Hotdogs, burger, ice-cream, ice pops,
grilled sandwich?” Aariz listed the food items as he took me near the stalls.
“Ice pop!” I squealed in excitement and then realized how childlike I sounded.
Correcting myself hastily with a slight smile, I added,
“No, I mean anything is fine.”
‘Act like a classy lady Sani. Not a freaking young girl!’ I just had to remember this.
Aariz looked anxious,
“But dar...uh...Sani.” Aariz gulped and I stared at him tentatively.
Was he about to say da
rling, while he was behaving so formally in this date thingy? No, it must be some other slip of tongue. Yeah, I dare not entertain such thoughts.
My reverie broke as he continued sweetly,
“You can have ice-cream. Triple flavoured if you like. I know you love ice creams and they have some of the wonderful flavours here. Ice pop is good, but really very...uh...” he stared at me pleadingly, as if expecting me to understand.
“Cheap?” I giggled.
He nodded with a sheepish smile.
“Oh don't worry. Price does not matter to me. We can have ice cream later. It’s been a long time since I have had an ice pop.” I winked at him, “Nothing like a good old ice pop to remind you of your childhood, right?”
“Absolutely.” Aariz grinned, giving me a little bow.
He immediately made his way towards the ice pop stall and of course, I followed.
Propping his elbow on the stall counter and another hand on his hip Aariz gave me a devilish smile, drawling,
