Cassandra smiled as she glanced at herself in the mirror for the umpteenth time . The clock announced 8 pm as she walked into the kitchen to check what she was cooking . She walked into the dinning room and started arranging . She didn't want any disorder of any sort on her first dinner with Demian .
Just then , a knock came . Cassandra knew very well that it was Demian but decided to ask who was at the door .
" it's me Demian . " Demian replied as Cassandra asked .
" ohhh , I'm coming . " Cassandra said as she went to open the door.
" Hi Demian . " She added after she opened the door .
" Hi.... How are you? " Demian asked giving Cassandra a peck on her cheek.
" I'm good." She replied .
" lease come over to the dinning room , dinner is set . " Cassandra announced as she led Demian in to the dinning .
" These really looks good ." Demian admitted as he sat opposite Cassandra in the dinning .
" Really ? " Cassandra asked not meaning it .
" yeah .... you must have spent a lot of time trying to put these up . " Demian added .
" Yes . I really spent a lot of time . And it was stressful. But I'm glad you like it . " Cassandra said smiling.
" Sorry for the stress . " Demian finalized as they started eating .
" so... Are you single ? " Cassandra asked as she paused her eating and watched Demian.
" Uhm..... not really .... I won't so I'm single for the mean time..... ok let's just say I'm in a relationship . " Demian tried explaining.
" okay... so who is this half gotten girl friend? " Cassandra asked expecting to hear her name as a reply from Demian .
"ok. Her name is Felicia ." Demian replied leaving Cassandra in shock.
" are you serious? " Cassandra asked. The shock visibly showing on her face .
" Why are you acting shocked? " Demian asked.
" You told me you guys were friends." Cassandra said.
" yes but she wants me to be her boyfriend." Demian added.
" we have been sweet hearts for a while now .... just sweet heart . nothing more . Now she wants to be my girlfriend . " Demian explained .
" ok " Cassandra said sighing deeply to herself .
She looked at Demian as he ate silently and slowly . she had always admired him and wanted to be his sweet heart and not even a child hood sweet heart could stop her motives .
she watched Demian quietly as she minced her own food . she could not just stop looking at him or even stop thinking of him .
" Gosh . I can't let such fish out of my net." Cassandra thought as she forced herself to eat and reduce the level at which she looked at Demian to avoid unnecessary suspicion.
" Did u say something?" Demian asked as he looked at Cassandra.
" No. I did not say anything. " Cassandra lied .
" Just enjoy dinner and don't be shy to ask for more if you like the food " Cassandra joked as they both laughed and the tensed air was no more .
