THAT SEDUCTIVE NIGHT:#2

'I am not paying attention to him. I'm listening to his voice. I am sure there is a lot of pain inside him. And anyway, I was just checking out the inferiors of the lounge. Quite nice, no? ' I said trying to change the topic.

'Chuck it. Here comes period peri chicken. Taste it. It's one of the best dishes available here, ' she smirked.

' is it? Do you even understand the meaning of the name? Firstly Mia Bella and now this peri peri. This place seems funny. '

She stared at me and I knew it was time for me to keep quite. I ate my meal in silence. The peri peri chicken was indeed delicious. We followed up the meal with a few drinks.

'Adi, it feels so good to meet you after almost two years. I so wish that you stayed permanently in Delhi. Then you would have been just a call away whenever I needed you. '

'I am still a call away. Anything for you. Just don't call me too often. It will reflect in your bank statement otherwise, 'I laughed.

'I'm not a baniya like you. Thank God you're not my boyfriend, 'she replied.

'I was kidding. Okay, where is my surprise? You said that you had something for me.Where is it? 'I looked here and there to tease her.

She gave me a naughty smile and looked at the manager, gesturing him to bring something in. I was curious to know what she had planned for the evening. She looked excited and nervous too.

After a few minutes, the manager came back holding a huge cake. As soon as he kept the cake on the table, the same singer whose voice had completely mesmerized me played a mellow song on his guitar. I looked at him and we exchanged smiles.

The cake had a picture of me holding a book in my hand.It was Sakshi's favourite Picture of me. She had got the cake custom- made especially for the evening. Her gesture made me feel extremely special. The cake was a chocoholic's dream. Rich, thick, and creamy, with a layer of Oreo cookie crumble in the middle.

'Should I take the honour of cutting it myself? I smiled looking at my image on the cake.

'Yes please. Kindly go ahead. I want to eat you tonight, 'she said giving me a wicked smile.

' Then I better cut the other part of the cake as I don't want to spoil the night, 'I laughed.

'You moron. You can never change. 'She hugged me as I cut the cake.

I fed the first piece of cake to Sakshi followed by the manager. The cake was then cut into small pieces and offered to everyone present at the pub. I took one piece of the cake and went towards the singer sitting on the stage. He was still very engrossed in singing. I went closer to him and offered him a piece of the cake. He sensed affection from me and got up to give me a big hug. His hig made me feel like he was hiding immense pain inside him.I wanted to know what was troubling him but waited for the right time to question.

'I hope you you loved the surprise, 'Sakshi asked wiping the cake from her mouth.

' You made my day. I feel so special. I will remember this moment forever. I am so lucky to have a friend like you in my life. God has been kind to me. '
