Swara- That!

Swara exclaimed after his eyes had lingered an inordinately long amount of time on a curvaceous redhead.

Swara- That is exactly I'm talking about.
Sanskar- What?

Sanskar's head snapped back to her.

Sanskar- Did I miss something?
Swara- It's disgusting!
She continued.
Swara- The way you ogle after women. It's disrespectful.

He laughed despite her warning scowl.

Sanskar- She had an awesome of t*ts. Not as nice as yours, mind you, but very nice. Round, perky...

He raised his hands in front of him, palms facing outward, as if turning the dials on a radio.

Swara- It's like you're never satisfied with the woman you've got. You're always looking for the next best thing. No wonder all your girlfriends are neurotic psychos. The moment they give into you, you're already after someone else. And yet, here I am.

She bumped her shoulder against his in reproach and he laughed. His fingers twitched at his breast pocket as if seeking the cigarette pack that wasn't there. He sighed & shoved his hands into his pockets.

Sanskar- You make it sound like some kind of battle between good and evil. It's not like I'm a crazed sex fiend raping amd pillaging the city.

Swara- But that's the thing...you're all sweet and attentive like a girl is the center of your world. You make a girl think that she might be able to change you...that there's hope...that she might be the one to make you settle down. But as soon as something bright and shiny and new comes your way, you're out the door.

Sanskar- Geesh!

He sounded like thoroughly offended. To demonstrate his distress, he ran a hand back through his hair, disheveling the glossy dark locks in an attractive way.

Sanskar- If I'm such a terrible person, then why are you here?

Swara- I'm sorry, alright?. I'm sorry about everything I said the other night.

She put her hand on his arm.

Swara- You were really sweet and I ruined the whole thing. I feel terrible about it.

Unable to look at him, she concentrated her attention on the storefront beside them.

Swara- I sounded like a total bi*ch. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

Sanskar- Yeah, you did. Hurt my feeling, I mean.

He stopped walking & waited until she raised her gaze to meet his.

Sanskar- At least I know that you're human.

He raised an eyebrow & gave her a smile then brushed a tendril of hair back from her face. They started walking again.

Swara- You hurt my feelings too, Sanskar.
Sanskar- I know. I was an a*sh*le. I don't think either one of us is too surprised about it.

He shrugged & shot a shy sideways glance at her.

Sanskar- I guess u took me by surprise.

Sanskar reached out to touch her again, gripping her arm just above the elbow & sending shivers of pleasure up to her spine. He guided her to the cafe that she had never noticed before.

Swara- How is it that I've lived here all my life and never knew about these places? 😂😅

He laughed as they stepped through the entrance into a small, narrow room just wide enough for an old-fashioned counter & a few tables with bright yellow and blue tablecloths.

Sanskar- Because you are a popsicle and I'm not. You have to actually leave your comfort zone once in a while to find places like this.

An almond-eyed barista took their orders with a smile of appreciation for Sanskar. The pair engaged in a few seconds of light banter before he took Swara's hand and led her to the set of French doors that opened into a delightful brick-walled courtyard filled to overflowing with a riotous profusion of flowers. Pink and yellow roses tumbled from a trellis overhead and emitted a scent so heady that she nearly lost her balance. In the center of the courtyard, a fountain splashed and tinkled as a cherub poured water from a pitcher into the basin at his feet.

Swara- Oh😯

Swara whispered in awe. 😯
He grinned at her shock. 😄

Sanskar- Pretty awesome, huh? I come here sometimes to get some mental peace and quiet.
