Chapter 200

It didn't take too long for the flowers to be delivered and Harvey joined him when he was about to leave. He complemented Harvey on his selection of flowers. They were beautiful and for him to order flowers and get chocolates, Akshar knew he must really like the girl. One of them was a beautiful bouquet that had five blue iris, four stems of pink Stargazer lilies, lavender chrysanthemums in three, and to complement them were the stems from lemon leaf with a note that said "Happy birthday to you", in the melodious combination of fragrant pink lilies, willowy blue iris, and lavender chrysanthemums that was sure to bring a smile or maybe a blush when one receives. The other one was long stem yellow Asiatic lilies where each stem had multiple blooms and ten beautiful blue irises which upon seeing it one would probably think that this bouquet is purely spectacular.

Harvey had been very specific about the chocolates, He had given a very detailed description of the chocolates and it had to be one of the excellent quality ones and he had preferred Godiva or Lindt. He had insisted on a box of truffles. Akshar had agreed to it and had purchased the decadent assortment of milk, dark and white chocolate truffles, including Extra Dark Chocolate, Hazelnut Praline, Double Chocolate Raspberry, Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Smooth Coconut, French Vanilla, Cappuccino, Strawberry, and Roasted Almond, all delicately presented in its signature box.

Akshar knew his friend long enough to know that this is more than a date, but he was not sure why he insisted on a double date. Moreover Harvey seemed a little tense. After a few exchange of words they were on the road and the restaurant wasn't too far from there. They parked their car and they were there before their dates. It was a cozy Mexican restaurant that was decorated in the typical style as expected bringing out the highlights of South American countries. Their dates arrived a little late about twenty minutes and as soon as Akshar saw the women he knew why Harvey insisted on a double date. One couldn't tell them apart if it weren't for their dress and hair style. One of them stepped forward and kissed Harvey and he introduced them to Akshar and they all took their seats.
