Life isn't straight

Chapter 2: The lunch

What to wear? What will suit me the best? What he will like ? These question were all over my mind. Searching for the perfect dress is the girl's hardest job. I was standing in front of my cupboard and staring the messed up things. That moment only one thing came in my mind why on earth I didn't clean up my cupboard. I took out each and every dress out and started to look for the perfect dress. There were many dresses in my cupboard and I have never even worn some of them . Whenever I visit a mall I buy dresses without thinking twice. I t was getting difficult to select one dress. After 1 hour of struggle I choose two dresses that would look good at me for the lunch. One of the dress was blue and another was red in color. I tried both of them one by one and then at last decided to wear the red one. It was beautiful and elegant shoulder drop one piece. The lower part of the dress was like the skirt. The feeling of finding the right dress is just like finding treasure.

I started to get ready. I applied a very light makeup. A little BB cream , Kajal , mascara , light eye shadow, blush, and nude shade lipstick. The overall look was looking elegant . I wore earring matching with the dress.

When I looked in the mirror ,only one thought came in my mind "am I looking good or not". Nervousness and fear both feeling was in my heart.

While I was staring at the mirror, a message popped in my phone.

"I am coming to pick you up in 10 min."

I started to panic. I took my red purse and kept my compact, lipstick, cash and some essential things in it. I wore my heels which was perfectly going with the dress.

Meanwhile another message popped

"I am outside your apartment."

My heart started to beat faster. I told my sister that I am leaving. She usually never stay at home on Saturday . But that day she had lot of work to do so she was staying home . I took my coat and rushed downstairs. When I reached near the gate of the apartment he was standing near his car looking handsome and dashing as always. He was wearing a black shirt greyish blazer and dark blue shaded jeans. He opened the gate for me. His face showed the affection he have for me. He started to drive. I asked

" Where are we going ?"

"To my favourite restaurant ."

" And where.. is your favourite restaurant "

" you will know "

" come on I should know where I am going "

" you don't trust me? "

"I trust you it's just .."

" have patience , we will be there in an hour "

"ok "

I started to look outside the window . The weather looked good . The traffic was same .

He stopped near a restaurant named "Del Posto". It's a Italian restaurant . I have never been to such expensive restaurant. It looked very artistic and the fragrance around was soothing. The tables were well set . The manager came and took us to our table. Edmund had booked corner table. While walking towards the table I was observing the art around . The art work was amazing . When we reached to our table , Edmund pulled out the chair for me . We both get seated . There were not many people around at that time. He asked

" So... what you like to eat "

I checked the menu , stared it for two minutes and then said " Please order anything for me. "

"ok "

He ordered to the waiter some name of the dishes which I can't hear clearly . The waiter left us alone after getting the order. He said

" You look beautiful . I don't have words to describe your beauty."

" Thank you but I think I am not that beautiful "

"What your parents do"

" My father work in an IT company 'Sociotech' and my mother used to work in a boutique but now she is a house wife "

" What you want to do after graduation"

"Do a course in Fashion Designing and find a part time job . What you will do after graduation? "

"I am going to do MBA and then take over my father's business. "

" That's great.. Your father must be proud of you , you are one of the top student in your batch "

" Well he don't care much , he always be so much busy with his work that he never cared what I do "

His face showed the sadness . He really wanted his dad to care about him. That time I felt, how lucky I am that my mom and dad care so much about me. They always ask me where I am ,what I am doing, and many more . They make sure that I am safe. I never liked my parents interference in my life but now ,after living away from them I realise their importance.

I moved my hand and hold his hand to comfort him . He smiled and said

" what you like to do in free time "

" sketching .. I love to sketch "

The waiter entered with the dishes that were covered with a dome like object. He served the food .It looked amazing, delicious and perfect. He looked at me and then he started to eat. I also started to eat. Meanwhile I was looking at him , the way he was eating , the way he was looking at me at intervals. When my eyes meet his eyes, my heart stops beating for a moment . It feel like some magic is going on inside me. He asked

" You liked the food .. "

"yeah it taste delicious "

" Yeah I have been here many times and this is my favourite restaurant .. "

"and this is your favourite dish ?"

"Yeeaahh..."

We both laughed .

That day we talked a lot many times our eyes meet each other, many times his hand touched mine and every time his hand touched mine a current starts to flow in my veins. It make me nervous because that was the first time I was feeling such sensation .

We finished our meal . Edmund paid the bill and he also tip the waiter. We left the restaurant . We were standing near the entrance of the restaurant waiting for the car which was parked in the valet parking . Suddenly it started to rain . I didn't expected it. The car came and we get in. We were little wet .

" Oh I didn't expected it would rain today .. "Edmund said

" nor did I... I hate rain. "

" Why "

" I don't know I just don't like it "

He drop me home. we said good bye to each other and then I started to walk towards the apartment gate. He came running towards me and said

" You left your purse "

" Oh .. Thanks "

"Byee "

"Byee"

He left .I climbed upstairs and rang the bell . There was no response. I have forgot to take my key that day. I rang the bell once again but still no response. I pushed the door little bit . The door was not locked. When I opened the door I was shocked.
