“Oh please...! I'm not shy.”
I couldn’t help but chuckle at my cute drama queen,
“Sure, if you say so.” Tentatively I asked as if curious, “Then the blush that always creeps on your face when I come closer is just because...?”
“I don't blush!” growled Sani. Really growled, with her fork in hand, as if, ready to attack if I argued otherwise.
“Really? So if I kiss you right now, you won't obviously blush.” I cocked my head to the side, peering at her without breaking the eye lock.
She punched my forearm scowling.
“Ahh...” I rubbed on it rigorously for added effect.
“As if it hurt so much.” Sani rolled her eyes.
When I kept the fake painful expression on, my girl leaned across the table, gently touching my arm, asking in a timid voice,
“Did I really hurt you?”
I shook my head, grinning at her with affection,
“If you don't wipe off that caring look from your face and lean back quickly, I might really kiss you right here, right now. Trust me.”
Sani scrambled back, as if hit by a force.
We finished our lunch and Sani immediately started going through the desert menu,
“Which flavour of ice-cream would you like?"
“I will take coffee, Sanu.”
She glanced up from the menu, staring at me straight in the eye, getting serious,
“No you will have ice cream.”
“Why?” I was confused now.
“Because I'm saying, that’s why.” She stated commandingly.
Interesting...
“Besides, it’s no fun eating it alone. Now just sit quietly and tell me what flavour.” Sani stared at me patiently.
Oh...So I obviously don't get a choice.
On my silence, she became irritated.
“You said I should be quiet.” I shrugged, amused by her expression.
“You are very bossy.” I commented in adoration of her.
She pouted to herself getting conscious immediately.
I shook my head warning her,
“No, don't regret or try change that behaviour in front of me now. I like it.” Gazing into the depths of her oceanic orbs to the point that she shyly broke eye contact, I murmured,
“I think you are gonna be the only person I would allow and love to be bossed around by.”
