Chapter 310

She was nibbling on the nuts and was starting to feel hungry. Prince Calaf hit the gong and came forth to take up the challenge. The lights came on and the curtains were drawn announcing an intermission. Akshar asked her what she would like to eat and she looked at the menu trying to figure out what to eat. He excused himself and went to get a drink as she nodded that she was fine and didn't need any. He walked up to the bar at the right end. She decided that she will have some pasta as she was quiet hungry and felt that it would fill her up. She looked up and saw him coming back with a drink in his hand. Right at that moment, a young blonde walked over to him and gave him a hug and a kiss. She seemed very happy to see him and he was equally happy but surprised to see her too. She was holding a drink in her left hand and ran her right hand across his waist and murmured something in his ear. He smiled and nodded. From where she was sitting it looked like he was quiet flattered and was sort of blushing and was saying "No Thanks." The blonde had an blood red lipstick and was wearing a top with maximum cleavage with a bright red pendant perfectly sitting in the middle distracting everyone even not for long definitely at least for a minute to look into her cleavage. Such a huge amount of cleavage looked quiet good on her as she had the right proportions. Her busts were almost brushing against him and she didn't seem to care. After a few exchange of words even though she didn't intend to kiss him on his cheek, as he delicately avoided letting it land on his cheek instead of his lips. As he walked towards their table, Diya tuned away looking into the menu as if she didn't notice what had happened. When he was just about to sit down, another brunette walked over and said, "Oh my god. Is that you Akshar?" in a heavy British accent. Akshar looked up and with a smile in just a moment they both hugged each other. He said, "It is always a delight to see you. How have you been?" She smiled and said, "Good. Very happy, now that I have seen you" and she hugged again. He turned towards Diya and introduced her as Liz. Liz said, "Actually it’s Elizabeth Murphy, soon to be" Akshar turned around with a surprised look in his face and she showed her ring indicating that she was engaged. She looked at Diya and said, "If you are dating him - Bloody Hell, You are in for a rough ride" and laughed. With a meek smile Diya said, "Congratulations on you engagement".

A guy with a mustache arrived and kissed Liz on her cheek. Liz introduced him as, "This is my fiancé Chris." They all shook hands and Chris looked at Liz and said, "Honey I think we should get something to eat before the next session starts" They all agreed and Liz and Chris walked away. The waitress stopped by and Diya and Akshar placed their order. Couple of more women said hello to Akshar in the mean time. When the food arrived they announced that there will be a special fire breathing performance while they enjoy their meal and the announcer went on talking about something introducing the performance and the origin of how this art was practiced. Diya looked at Akshar and said, "You seem to know quiet a few around here. Do you come here often?" He smiled and said, "Ya. I guess" She paused for a minute. She had expected a much better explanation from him so she continued and said,” It was quiet funny what Liz said. You probably must have given her tough time or something?" He laughed again and said, "Well, we used to date. We mostly partied all the time. You know early twenties how you are. Then we broke up and again after a couple of years, we sort of dated again and broke up and a couple more times. Nothing serious. So she always jokes about it. I guess I can say that she has seen me evolve from a boy to a man, but she still believes I am still a boy." Diya didn't say anything and they both looked at the stage while eating their food. Two black guys, tall and muscular with bare chest revealing their muscles walked on the stage. The next moment in unison from the audience, mainly from the women there was woo admiring their masculinity. The music played in the background and the two of them blew fire from the mouth. When they started, couple of more men and four more women showed up. All the women were in a tribal outfit covering the essentials and revealing their gymnastic figure and this time the woo came from the men in the room. Their performance was wonderful and they did acrobatics with fire and then slowly started going in all directions covering almost all the tables so that they can have a good view of the performance. One of them came towards Diya and Akshar's table. It was a spectacular performance and in just at that moment one of the flames almost touched Diya and she leaned towards Akshar seeking refuge in his arms with her face rubbing against his.
