They strolled to a nearby coffee shop. The shop wasn’t the usual high end one like Starbucks. It was a tiny shop run by family with aim to cater to young crowd. While walking to coffee shop, they got to know at least their names. They sat on the corner seat due to place constraint. The cafe was fully crowded.
Molly ordered for two chocolate milkshake after a long discussion on what to drink. The order didn’t take long to arrive. The service was quite fast and good than what they expected it to be. As she sipped the milkshake, she observed him. He was quite a looker. He had mysterious black expressive eyes. There was an endearing innocence in his face. He wasn’t neither fat nor thin. He had athletic body like the one she dreamed of. She was amazed by the excitement he had when he spoke. It was like he loved the subject he spoke. Who can forget his hair? He had medium length hair with bangs that carefully fell on his forehead. His parents had done a justice by keeping his name Mohit. His charm had attracted her like his name.
The whole time she was simply staring at him. She hadn’t paid any attention on what he spoke. How could she when such pure beauty had captured her attention? It was not so strange that Mohit had replaced Randy. Randy was past and Mohit was in. “ I am really sorry for being rude!”, he said, bringing her back to reality. “ Hmmm.. Rude! You weren’t rude.”, she said with confused look on her face. He smiled and said, “ I have been talking the whole time. I didn’t give you chance to speak. I know you girls love to talk.” She bent her face down with embarrassment.
“ Well! It is not rude. It’s good to listen sometimes.”, she blushed. She looked at her watch. It was late for her dance practice. She grabbed her bag and left the money to be paid for the chocolate milkshake. “ Bye! I am getting late. I will see you later.”, she said hurriedly. “Hey , how do I contact you? Are you in Facebook or at least give me your number.”, he said. Her heart skipped a beat in excitement. “ I am in Facebook. Find me! I am popular.”, she said with a wink. She left him while scolding herself for her dumb wink. She prayed that he didn’t think that she was cheap.
He smiled, nodding his head in amusement. She was cute. He had never seen a girl who could make him relax as well as make his heart beat faster at the same time. He wished she could stay a bit longer. He was having great time with her. He took his phone and dialled his friend’s number. “ Hey Ranjit! Wassup! Let’s catch up! What about cricket? Perfect! Meet you at two.”, he said, walking out of cafe.
Mohit spent his afternoon , playing cricket with his friends. Later he spent his evening again with different set of friends, playing Fifa. As the night fell, he was at the club, poking fun at his friends and enjoying his six beer cans. He came home intoxicated. He fell on his bed flat. He opened the facebook application in his phone to check notification. There were series of friend requests from random people. He rejected most of them. However he took minutes to accept or reject one. It was from one girl.. the same girl he met in the morning. Due to intoxication, he rejected her request by mistake.
