Chapter 314

“Home in bed I suppose?” he said. “Ya. It’s way past mid night. How about you?” she said. “Yep. Quiet comfortable in my PJ’s. Just called to make sure you reached home okay” he said. She smiled to herself, paused for a second and said, “Thanks. I am fine. I hope you are wearing cats and dogs on them” and laughed. He said defending himself, “Hey! Well. I do have some pictures but are not dogs and cats.” She laughed and said, “What are they?” and giggled. “Well this is very embarrassing. It has a race car in back probably what a teenager would wear” he said. Before he could finish Diya started to laugh at the other end and struggling to control her laughter. He didn’t say anything but waited for her to get a hold of herself. Then he said, “You know this is really not a good way to impress a girl. Especially the one I just kissed an hour ago. It felt like it was the magical moment I have been waiting for. I lost myself for a moment when your eyes closed and let go of yourself in my arms.” She was blushing. She couldn’t utter a word and was turning red and was glad that he was not right there to see her blush. She couldn’t help smiling. He paused for a minute and said, ”I know you were not dressed up but I guess as you have a natural radiance that lightens up wherever you go you looked very hot. You know what I enjoyed the most, holding you in my arms, the look in your eyes when I was just about to kiss you and more than anything else, just being with you; spending time with you. You are a very special person and I admire you; I like you very much. Even though our planned first date didn’t work out, but this day turned out to be wonderful. I hope you feel the same way I do.” She felt butterflies in her stomach; her heart was beating very fast and now not just her cheeks, her whole face had turned pink. She rolled over and hugged the pillow next to her very tightly and bit her lower lips and smiled. He continued and said, “I guess I have been holding you up for long. I will say good night before you say Shut up.”

Struggling to recover and not wanting to let go of him she said, “mmm.. Hey! I had a nice time too. Thanks for you compliments.” He said, “Anytime. You deserve such compliments. You are wonderful. I hope I can take you on a date that we actually plan with no unexpected interruptions. Maybe I can take you out to a nice dinner, maybe a dance later?” She said, ”I would love that.” He continued, “Maybe we can talk about many things, you goals in life, the movies we like – well maybe not all movies romantic movies, don’t want to spoil the moment” She laughed and said, “Maybe we can talk about something funny like…..” He said, “Parakeet training, coupons”. They both laughed and then she said, “I have got one, How about the white pants that got a blue patch? They laughed again and he said, “Something silly like what kind of wall calendar you're planning on buying for the next year or maybe the correct amount of time to soak dried beans or even about the average lifespan of an ant.” She said, “How about some of the craziest things we have ever done and ….” He said, “I was thinking about how amazing it is to be so moved to the point where your heart flutters. It's like your passion just builds and you feel so intensely in your heart. I would be curious to know what makes your heart flutter.” She didn’t expect that and was totally stunned by his question. She didn’t know how to react and realized if her were there he would have probably kissed her and she would have been completely flattered and hopelessly fallen for his flattery. He continued and said, “Maybe if I knew what your favorite getaway would be I can take you sometime there for a romantic vacation. A nice wine and you in my arms dancing on a beach …. I guess I am going overboard. I guess I shall say good night now.” Completely in a trans she jumped on the bed and hugged the pillow and kissed it as if it was him that she was kissing.
