The night we met

23. Chapter (U//w//U)/

Place: The carnival
Time: 'Dr. Strange messed up with that'

"Can I take you somewhere else?" C/n asked just as I was thinking what to add more to this evening to make it last a little longer.

"Yeah sure" I gave a little nod. Thinking where we'd be going.

We exited the carnival but instead of taking the car, he kept on walking as I thought to ask anything, I began observing his face letting aside everything and every other thought.

He wasn't looking up either, just watching his footsteps like me

I saw his lips curve into a small yet evident smile. And a little blush spread over cheeks which might be caused due to trying not to smile widely.

I realised a little while later that I was smiling too. Well his smile is contagious.

After a while we reached a bakery? I mean... I really enjoy food shops but it was unexpected

Considering the amount that I walked in the carnival and on my way here. I won't mind food or beverages I guess though.

"I've heard they sell amazing sugar cane juice in a nearby stall" he said and went ahead towards the stall and brought two glasses.

It's been a while since I've had sugarcane juice or maybe I was really tired. I don't know what the reason was but I already had two glasses while he couldn't have more after completing a single one.

"Can I have one more please?" I said with a requesting smile

"You had two glasses already" he said a bit concerned and in disbelief

"Please?"

He smiled and brought another one.

"I really like seeing this thirsty side of yours" he giggled

'wHaT' I coughed and almost choked

Just as he realised what he said his eyes widened and he started looking somewhere else or at his shoes which were suddenly so interesting

After completing we went inside the bakery while he told me to sit inside and went to order himself.

Bruh it's frustrating when your in shop of sugar and you can't even choose your favourite type of sugar.

He returned with something in his hands.

It was obviously a cake.. yeah it was a bakery what else would it be?

He sat and passed my plate. Well it wasn't the best cake I've ever had I've had better but it was good.

Good enough for me to try it in the future.

Holy smokes this stuff tastes amazing.

Is it just me who does a little happy dancey thing when they get good food? Just me? Nvm

"Well just letting you know that this is my favourite cake" He claimed

"Mhm no it's not your favourite type" I said in a challenging tone

"Why would you say that?" He asked, raising an eyebrow

A waitress of an old age came to our table politely handling a package
"Sir here's your packed order" she said and walked away. Nonetheless it was the same cake that I brought for him few days back

And the cake he brought for me the night we met

"Heh" I passed a real cocky smile..

He just let out a sigh of defeat

Few minutes later we just started having random conversation.. you know the type of conversation that are not required but doesn't makes sense but still you have.

You do find that weird?
Name one conversation with your best friend that made sense in the last 24 hrs.

Well you don't need to cry just in case you don't have a best friend

He started talking about how his work was going and how Rohan almost fell of the stairs in the attempt of killing a mosquito.

"You know what you're a great listener Y/n" he spoke after a while

I said nothing but gave a questioning look

"I might be talking and rambling about anything and you'd be showing your full interest"

"You've always got my interest c/n"
Well it was true. I enjoyed listening more than talking but whenever it was an conversation with him. He somehow always seek my interest.

And the fact if Rohan was able to kill the mosquito

"I think we should get back before the shop closes, it's almost their closing time" I said looking towards the posters on the walls which mentioned the time of their service.

"Yeah, don't want to get kicked out"

We walked again to the place where he parked the car. But this time the walk was silent without any light hearted conversation.

Just a weird feeling in gut
Is it just going to end? Or why do good things have to end?

Before we almost reached I could hear him take a deep breath and he stopped

"Y/n"

Hey it's me I'm the problem it's me. Ok I better stop interrupting in middle of the good scenes

Okay re-take

"Y/n"

I just looked at him standing beside me

"Well I thought you'd like this so I got this for you" he said handing me the blue crystal keyring he brought at the carnival.

Oh lord

"Waow- I mean this means a lot" I was so much at the lost of words at this point of time

Before I could recover from gratitude

"And- uh" he paused for a while. He pursed his lips with his eyes pinched closed

And looked at me again
' was he mustering courage ?'

"What is this supposed to be?"

"This?" I gave a confused look

"Is this a date?"
"Yeah" I said as quick I could mentally cursing myself

He just nodded maybe had a smile and we continued walking neither he could look at me nor I could.

I couldn't even think to speak anything. My mind was filled up with so many thoughts. I couldn't think straight.

I was trying my best to not pass out or squeal in excitement.

But we were completely silent. Did I hear him right?
Is that it ? Is that how people ask each other out?

Still speechless I got inside the car.

"Okay this is so not how it works we have to talk about this Y/n" he said with a little shaky voice

Although I wish I could disappear.
I just couldn't

" Yeah sure" my breath hitched

"I wished this was a date "

"I'm at a loss of words but I wish the same"

"We're so awful at this talk y/n" he chuckled

This was ittt for the chapter guys. I'm the most clueless person you'd ever know when it comes to something or anything before judging me if you were any better than me then you won't be reading this story ( ◜‿◝ )♡
