It's like we never happened

"I'm bored" Richard said

"Me too. Waiting for the day to end" I replied

"Do you have any plan tomorrow?" he asked me

"Nothing. Being in home is peace" I said. He smiled at my response "What about you?"

"Maybe a beer, walk to the lake, maybe swim" he said

"Enjoy your Saturday" I said. He looked sad

"Do you like watching movie?" he asked me

"I love" I replied with excitement

He smiled. "Do you wanna watch movie tomorrow?" he asked me

"Of course. What about your plan?" I asked him

"I feel like watching one" he said

"Ok. What movie? If your okay, can I bring my roommate?" I asked him. Abhi has been very upset recently because of some personal reason. I think this will help him to forget for few hours.

Meanwhile, Richard was thinking something "Yeah sure. 'Avatar', I'll book the ticket then"

"Great. Share me the location and time then" I said.

Then it was time to leave the office.

I reached my room. After sometime Abhi reached "Hey! are you free tomorrow?"

"Why? Not really"

"You know Richard right? He asked me to watch a movie, I told you're coming with me and he was fine"

"Are you stupid?"

"Nope. I don't think so" I joked

"He is asking you for a date" Abhi cleared

I thought for a while. "Maybe or maybe not but in case he thought of that as a date then you are really coming with me"

"I think Richard is a nice guy. You must give a shot" Abhi advised

"If I do something stupid, it will mess up my entire life. My personal life and career both will get messy. I don't want that. I want him to be my friend. Nothing more. For now, I'm not planning for any relationship. I'm happy with my life" I said

"I feel like you're giving some random excuse. You can't move on with Sid. You're still struck with him in the past" he said

"Shut up Abhi. Sid has nothing to do with it. We were only friends. Nothing more" I said

"Then ask him out"

"I can't" I said

"Why?" he asked me

"We had a fight last week. I don't think I'm ready to talk with him. If you're not coming it's fine. I'll go alone with Richard" I said and walked to my room slamming the door

I don't need Sid or Abhi

"My friend had a last minute plan. He couldn't make it" I told Richard

"No problem at all" he happily walked to the counter to buy the ticket "Which seat you are comfortable with?" he asked me

"Something middle" I said. Middle seat will have fantastic view and sound effect.

"Want something to eat?" he asked me

Popcorns are costly "I'll have one coke" I said

"Popcorn?" he asked me and I rejected it "How about one big popcorn? that would be cheap, I want one" he asked me with innocent face. I smiled and accepted it
