During the intermission she gave cute *sigh* and kept talking with a smiling face about the film. I didn’t really pay attention to what she was saying and kept staring at her lips saying “hmmm..hhmm” “yeah yess”. She realised I wasn’t paying attention and said shall we go get something? I said “yeah sure”. She got up and I too got up catching her wrist and kept holding on to it till we reached the aisle.
The queue in the food court was long. As we were waiting silently she turned towards me and said “I never went out like this with any guy for the fear of getting abused”. “You are really being nice to me, thanks for making me comfortable.”
I had a relief, I thought I kept asking uncomfortable questions and wanted to smooth it out but this came as a pleasant surprise. I also felt bad imagining how much abuse she should have faced to consider my questions as normal ones. Again I kept looking at her and she too kept talking about many things mostly about her ambitions, future.
After the movie got over and as we were walking towards the Entrance of the mall she said it was her birthday and thanked me for making it memorable. I was surprised and went “OMG, why didn’t tell me well before.” She gave a shy smile and was like “it’s okay it’s okay…” and said she wanted to leave quickly because her friends will be waiting in the hostel for the party.
Me: “Am I not invited?”
She: *smiles*hmmmm it is a female hostel. So…
Me: “okay. How will you go from here??” “Can I drop you at your place?”
She: “I’ll book a cab”. “Hmm,,, So you want to know where I live?”
Me: “not exactly, just to make it easy for you.”
She: “okay…. Will you drop me a little bit away so my friends won’t see me?
Me: “sure thing”.
While driving I was all the time wondering what I can get for her. I really wanted to stop near some stop but that wouldn’t be nice to buy a present taking her along. Her hostel was also not very far so I wasn’t left with any option. As we neared the hostel she said “Stop stop stop.. I’ll get down here”.
I held her hand as she was getting ready.
Me: “Thanks for spending your birthday evening with me; I don’t know what to present you…. Hmm…. Can I kiss you?”
She: “What??”…… “Don’t be crazy!!” “We barely know each other”… “So all these kind gestures just for this?”
ME: (felt really bad) “I’m sorry!” “I just … okay I am really sorry”
She: “ Fine!” “Look.. mmm…. let me not leave you disappointed”. “Just one kiss on my cheek. Okay?”
Me: “wow! Thanks, I really meant a kiss on the cheek only……”
“At least come a bit closer if you really meant it.”
She smiled, came a bit towards me. But when I was getting closer she moved away and it became like a little game. We got excited and giggled as she continued to fool me. Suddenly I held her face tightly and gave a forceful lip kiss; although she wasn’t giving in. I just kissed her lips for few secs but then she pushed me away breathing heavily and went silent. She then adjusted her dress, hair and said “okay bye, good night” *with a stern face and left.*
Actually our entire act was recorded in my dashcam which I only later happened to realise.
