The Untouchable - Part 9

He dragged her towards his car and pushed her to the passenger seat. She was anxious. She tried to ask him where he was taking her during the journey. He didn't seem to mind her inquisitive questioning. Later she got tired of asking him and stayed quiet. He stopped at a ground.

The ground was beautifully decorated with candle lights. He led her on rose covered path to the center of the ground  where bouquet of roses and birthday cake lay on the table. She was surprised. No one knew about her birthday except her mom and the manager.

He offered her the bouquet and hugged her. "Happy Birthday!", he whispered to her ears. She gently pushed her self out from the embrace and asked," How do you know?" " I know you are private person. But you are famous too. There are some sneaky paparazzi who have followed you closely and  publish private information like your birthday to crazy fans like me.", he said. She was struck when she heard the word 'fan'. Her face blushed and heart raced faster every second. Tiny goosebumps appeared on her soft skin.

"You are my fan?". she asked timidly. "Who is not your fan. You are most beautiful actress of our era. Everyone loves you.", he said , almost spilling out his feelings. "Now can you cut the cake?", he asked. She smiled and cut the cake. She offered him a piece and wished him too.  She had just turned her face to other side for a minute. Suddenly, he quickly took a small piece of cake and smudged on her face gently. It was too late for her to realize what was happening.

Instead of getting annoyed, she took another piece and smudged it back. They laughed and giggled like two teenagers while applying the cake cream on each other's face playfully. After all those fun,
they had candle lit dinner. The atmosphere was filled with hidden romance and nervousness of hiding their feeling from each other. They chatted until they realized it was time to go home.

When he reached her place, they didn't want to part. There was silence though both of them wanted to share their feelings. They looked at each other's eyes, wishing that time didn't pass until she forced herself to get out of the car. She waited until his car was out of her sight. His party continued til late in night. His friends asked him about his sudden disappearance. He lied to them, saying he needed fresh air and rushed towards his room. He replayed today's special events as soon as he was alone.
