"He was flirting with you and you are laughing."
"So what, I liked it." Now he became dead serious and it did scare me. He came to me and whispered huskily in my ears, "You better not forget that you are mine." It really sent a shiver down my spine...
I really enjoyed my time at Xanir's parents' house, they always have been really loving and sweet and they were really happy that Xanir was taking me as his date. I came back after having lunch with them and Xanir was not there so spent the rest of the afternoon sleeping(cause he woke me up at 8 in the morning). Xanir came late that evening and nothing eventful happened.
The next morning he enquired me about my plans at breakfast.
"Look I have no idea as to where to go, but I would first like to see the Sydney Opera house."
"Then it would be better to go there in the evening only because it looks more beautiful in the evening. And what about this afternoon?"
"Um...I don't know", I said shrugging.
"Then I am going to training, I will meet you in the evening", he said getting up.
"No no", I said stopping him, "We can go to...to...a church, I don't want to get bored."
He looked at me curiously and said, "Church?, I am not going to any church."
"Then...we can go to a park", I said.
"Ok", and I started jumping excitedly.
I quickly changed to a simple shirt and jeans and met him at the door and followed him to his garage as he took out a metallic grey Audi R8. Whoa!

Xanir's POV:
I watched her jump in excitement just like a 5-year-old as I agreed to take her to the park. I know that she might have got bored yesterday but I had to go for training, I had already missed my training for many days.
I watched her looking at my car in admiration, she was looking cute. We got in the car and I put on my seatbelt.
"This is not India Alveera, put on your seatbelt", I stated and she rolled her eyes. I love taunting her.
After a 25 minutes ride, we reached the Sydney park and I put on my sunglasses as the sun was shining brightly. We walked together in silence and she kept on clicking photos. She even took a selfie with me, which within seconds was uploaded on her Insta account. "So", she asked, "Is Drake Andrews your best friend?"
"Yeah, we are childhood friends, we started playing cricket together."
"When did you start playing cricket?"
"When I was five."
"Five?! So early, wow!"
"And-", she said but I interrupted her, "Are you taking my interview?"
"No, I was just curious." And we continued with our walk. Later she asked me to buy her an ice-cream and we both sat down on a nearby bench eating our ice-cream.
"Are you and Evin George good friends?" Again she is talking about her, I thought. I mean he has already retired but then too she is crazy for him.
"Xanir, I asked you something", she said as I didn't reply and I nodded.
"Did you-"
"Stop talking about him, Alveera", I again interrupted her, "Or else I'll eat your ice-cream."
"Okay... so what about my dress, has Emily designed it?", she asked hopefully.
"Yeah."
"So when I am seeing it?" She asks so many questions!
"On the final day."
"Are you serious? What if the dress is tight or a bit loose?", she said angrily.
"She has taken your measurements for a reason Alveera and by the way, she discussed everything with me."
"I can trust her but not you", she said pointing to me.
"If you don't trust me then you shouldn't be staying with me, what if one day I murder you in your sleep? Or do anything else with you?", I told her casually and she looked at me weirdly and stated, "You can't do that."
"I can do anything." She looked away and resumed eating her ice-cream as it started melting.
"Why did you choose me?", she asked suddenly.
"Huh?"
"Why did you choose me as your date when you could have taken anyone else?", she demanded.
"I didn't have time to search for a date, you were the only option I had."
"Half of your followers on Insta are girls, they are absolutely crazy about you(I don't know why), you have broken their hearts by choosing me", she muttered.
"So, you were stalking me on Insta?"
"I just..." she trailed off.
"What do you want to eat for lunch?", I asked changing the topic.
"Anything."
Later we went to an Italian restaurant for lunch and the way she was eating, it was evident that she was really hungry, but her mood was off, maybe she was worried about the dress. But she should trust me, I wouldn't like my date to wear just anything. The reason why I didn't tell her anything was that I wanted to give her a surprise but it seems that she doesn't like surprises.
That night we went to the Sydney Opera House and had dinner at home only, it was tiring day and it seemed that she enjoyed it.
To be honest, I relished that day with her. Sometimes it feels good to take a break from everything and spend some time tension-free. I did travel to many countries but I never felt so tension-free. She made me forget about other things for a while and I really loved that.
Alveera's POV:
I sighed as I laid down on the bed after a long and exhausting day, I enjoyed every moment of it. But the dress was giving me tension, I talked to Emily and she assured me that I am going to love it, only after that I was able to sleep peacefully.
I was very excited about the next day and couldn't wait to explore the new places, it was very nice of Xanir as he skipped his training and took me to various fascinating places. And especially our friendship improved, though our conversations were never complete without taunts, but we didn't have any serious arguments.
But the main thing right now is that we are leaving for Melbourne for the annual award function! I was really eager to see my dress.
