When she left after taking our orders 
I chuckled softly and shake my head when she looked back at Siddharth while walking forward.

"I am sorry. I can't help it. It happens most of the time." He chuckled softy.

"It's okey. I can understand." I said in a understanding manner and gave him a small smile.

"So you afraid of cockroaches?" He asked me while putting his both hands on table and slightly lean to me.

My cheeks immediately turned pink when I remember the evening cockroach incident. I was so scared that I didn't even realized I was hugging him in front of our families.

"I am sorry but they creeps me out and I freaked whenever saw them near me." I said while chuckling. I heard him chuckling too.

"I don't have problem with them as long as you hugged me tightly to save yourself." He whispered under his breath but I hear him and my cheeks immediately turn red with shyness.

"What else creeps you more." He asked me while leaning back to his chair.

"No one just cockroaches." I said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid of lizards?" He said amusingly.

"No.." i said.

"Not a little bit.." He asked me while raising his one eyebrow in question.

I shake my head as 'No.'

"Well I do." He said and singh.

"Do you?" I asked with a little amusement. I can't believe he afraid of lizards.

"Mmmhhhmmm... So Next time when I saw a lizard I will hold you like you hold me when you saw the cockroach." He said amusingly.

My cheeks turned into tomato. I know he doesn't afraid of lizards. He just love to make me blush in front of him.

After sometime same waitress come back with our orders. She keeps looking Siddharth's side but his eyes didn't move from my face, making me blush under his gaze.

We both eat our food while talking in random things, tey to know each other closely. He asked me about my college life and he also told me about his college life and his two childhood friends Nick and James.

After dinner he paid the bills we both walked outside the door towards our car when my eyes fell on the ice cream van and they sails faluda ice cream, one of my favorite icecream.

"Icecream..?" I asked Siddharth while gesturing him towards the ice cream van.

"Okey.." He chuckled softly and nodded his head 'yes.'

I walked to the ice cream van and come back with two cup of faluda icecream.

"Mmmm...It's yummy." Siddharth moaned when he have one spoon of ice cream.

"It's my favorite. " I said looking at him with smile.

"From now on mine too." He whispered under his breath but I heard him and turned into red shade when I heard what he said.

I lowered my head and started eating my ice cream silently.

"Do you come here often?" He asked me looking at me and leaned to his car bonnet.

Every boy, passing on the street looking his car with amazement, after all his car is one pf the posh car and expensive too. It's rare to see such car in a small town.

"It's kind of a hanging out place for me and my friend. We came here for coffee after a busy day in office." I said.

I and kshama came here often to have coffee. It relax our mind after a busy day in office. We sometime walked in park to realise our stress and to spend few more minutes with each other before separating our ways.

"Your hometown is beautiful. There is a calmness in its air." He said looking at me while eating his ice cream.

"This city is not develop like a metro one but the calmness in the nature of this city gave you the peace of mind." I said looking around and then him.

"So if you have a choice after marriage to choose live between New york like metro city your hometown, which one you choose."
He asked while looking into my eyes.

"I will choose where you will live. My home is you then it's not matter where I choose to live. It's up to you. I will be with you where you will go."

He straightened himself and looked at me with his deep eyes. His eyes are holding a many emotions and his eyes holding a intense look when he looked at me.

I also looked at him with same affection. I said all this without hesitation because it's all true. After marriage he will be my home and I want to be with him where he go.

May be he already become my home because I fell protected and safe around him like everyone feel when they reached their home.

Our gaze brok with a laughing of few girls. I averted my gaze from him and looked down when I feel the warmth on my cheeks under his intense gaze.

I threw the disposal cup into a recycle bin. Siddharth also threw his cup after me.

He had a drop of icecream at the corner of his lips. I took a slow step towards him. His eyes are fixing on me when I took a step towards him. My heart is beating fast and goosebumps risen all over my body under his heated yet comfortable gaze.

I took a corner of my dupatta and wiped the icecream from his mouth. I didn't lifted my eyelids to look at him while wiping the ice cream because I knew he is still looking at me with so much affection. My cheeks are turning red than before and I will be look like tomato soon if he keep looking me with so much emotions without blinking.

My heart and mind wants me to lifted my eyelids and looked into his deep one but I was afraid to lost in them. My hand fall from my side and my bangles make a tickling sound increasing a smooth tension between us.

"Look at me....Please.." i heard a plea in his voice like he desperately wants me to to look into his deep eyes and deliberately wants me to lost in them.

With so much courage I slowly lifted my eyelids and lookd into his deep coffee brown eyes which can make anyone crazy just in one look. With so much noise surround us, there is a silence between us that we can hear each other's heart beats. Our eyes are talking again, our heart beats are words and our lips our sealed like every time when we liat in each other's eyes.
