287 That dinner with a lake view - 2
She slowly marched ahead, crossing those gawking eyes and gaping mouths.
People looked at the leggy lass in awe and admiration, wishing their stars for bringing her onto the earth. But oblivious to the prying eyes of people around her, her eyes were in constant search of the one.
Her slender arms were inviting him to run his fingers on them, her semi-bare back wanted him to come close and cover every inch with his kisses. He wanted to smell that hair of hers and inhale that lavender note which always made him go crazy. He wanted to hold her in his arms and silence all those eyes which were drooling looking at her.
"Hello".
"How can I assist you, ma'am?"
"Hi, my room number is 1107. I am supposed to have a table reserved for me".
"One moment", saying that the receptionist opened her tab and checked on the booking app.
"This way ma'am", saying that she guided her towards a table which was having the perfect lake view.
The whole setting was extremely romantic and she saw many couples having romantic candlelight dinner together. Seeing that she developed a sudden pang in her heart.
She never had a proper dinner date with him.
She could never go out anywhere as a couple and enjoy the whole day together just sitting in his arms.
They were so busy fighting their battles together that they didn't have enough time just to be with each other without a care of the world.
She suddenly felt like her heart had been squished into a mulch.
Taking a deep breath, she decided to drown her sorrows with alcohol and called up the waiter.
"Yes, ma'am".
"Can I have some white mine from the menu please?"
"Sure ma'am", saying that the waiter left and came back after just 2 minutes and laid the glass in front of her and said.
"As you are our special guest today, I will be getting you the chef's curated menu in a jiffy. Please make yourself comfortable".
She passed a faint smile to the waiter and took a sip from the glass.
The moment she did that, her eyes widened with surprise.
That was no white wine, that was apple juice, something that she was very fond of.
She immediately turned back and signaled the waiter to come back.
"I asked for white wine, but this is apple juice".
"Ma'am this is a welcome drink. Sorry that I forgot to mention. You will receive your wine along with your food".
She jotted her eyebrows and looked at him all suspiciously and then asked,
"Did someone ask you to get this juice for me?"
"No ma'am, certainly not. Why will I offer you anything without your consent ma'am?"
She heard him speak but her heart was somehow not satisfied. She just nodded so that the waiter could leave, but her eyes started scanning the whole area. She started scanning person by person, hoping against hope to see him again, but alas not all hopes are meant to turn into reality.
Looking at her eyes which were searching for him, he died from the inside.
He itched to go close, sit opposite to her and enjoy the view along with her, but somehow managed to refrain his desires from taking control over his actions.
Turning to his side he nodded looking at the waiter, who then walked ahead to serve piping hot food to her table.
"Freshly out, a plate of mushroom risotto, specifically curated by the chef for you and a glass of white wine to go with it".
The moment she heard him say it, her whole world came to an absolute stop.
"Mushroom risotto?"
She exclaimed.
