Chapter 3 ' A blind-date

Ridz point of view

Amy was sleeping in my arms as I talked to a devastated angie on the phone, as quietly as I could. I didn't have the power to put Amy down in her bed, I would just wait until angie had stopped crying and I could hang up. I really didn't understand why she was so heart-broken, it was she who had broke up with him. I had promised to call her the second I came home from the coffee armaan had taken me and Amy for. Well, I didn't tell her it was Armaan Malik I was having a coffe with, she would flip if she knew.

"angie, just calm down for a second and breath" I said in a calm voice and stroke Amy's hair.

"I can't calm down! We were yelling at each other so much ridz and I said these horrible things, what if he never forgives me? What if he forever hates me?" She rambled sobbing on the other side of the phone.

"And why do you care if he hates you? You guys have broken up, you don't love him. You don't need him to hate you or love you" I told her and scratched the back of my head. We had been talking for over an hour now and even I were beginning to fall asleep by now.

"Can I come over to you, ridz?" She asked me out of the blue and I crossed my eyebrows.

"I guess.." I said hesitating and the second after I heard my bell ring. "Is that you?" I asked shocked and I heard the door open.

"Yes it's me!" She cried out and walked in to my living-room all red under her eyes from her crying. Amy had woken up by the doorbell and she looked around sleepy. angie took a seat next to me in my couch and started to sob wildly.

"Take it easy, sweetie" I comforted her and wiped away some tears from her cheeks.

"Give my baby to me, I need a hug!" She said and held out her arms towards Amy ' who crawled up in angie's arms.

"Last time I checked I was the one who pushed her out, but hey ' things change!" I said sarcastic and smiled at her. "Oh! I know exacly what will help!" I added shouting and before she could react I ran out in the kitchen. When I came back, just a few seconds later, I held up a ice-cream package and a spoon infont of her.

"There's only two guys in the world that a girl can trust; Ben and Jerry" I said and gave the Chocolate Fudge Brownie package to her and she immediately began to shov ice cream in to her mouth. We sat there for minutes, me and Amy looking at her as she was crying and eating. A few times she fed Amy with the ice cream too and when she was done, the two of them looked each other in the eyes. Sometimes I really wondered if angie really wasn't in the same age like Amy. They totally understood each other all the time.

"Auntie angie needs a hug, baby girl" She mumbled to Amy. Amy smiled with her now brown mouth and she threw her little arms around her neck.

"'ang ..ie !" She peepd out in her baby-voice and both me and angie dropped our jaws.

"She just said your name! Almost" I pointed out and gave my daughter a proud look.

"Aw! I love you, little totsie" angie cooed and hugged her again. "Good girl" She complimented her before looking at me.

"You still sad?" I asked carefully and I saw the tears filling her eyes again. Oops..

"Yes" She mumbled and looked down.

"You know what you need? A new man to boss around" I said and smiled big.

"I do not boss around!" She exclaimed insulted and I laughed at her. "OK, maybe a little" She changed grumpy. "But who? Do you happen to know a hot, single, rich guy who I can go on a blind-date with?" She added sarcastic and in my mind armaan's face immediately showed up. "You do!" She exclaimed and I laughed.

"Yes" I said proudly.

"Who?" She asked curious.

"armaan malik" I answered simple and her jaw dropped once again.

PART 3B Hours later when angie had left and when I had put down Amy to sleep in my big bed I walked out to my hallway and started to dig in my purse to find a certain one dollar bill. I couldn't find it anywhere in the purse! I walked back inside my bedroom where both my bed and Amy's baby-bed were and started to dig in the jeans I had wore this day. In one of the backpockets I found the bill with a phone-number scrabbled down. I walked out in the hallway again to get my phone. I got seated in the couch and started to dial the number. One tone went by. An other. A third ' then..

Armaan Malik, in the middle of his beauty-sleep" He answered groggy and sarcastic. I sighed and looked down at my wrist. It was One AM!

"Hi.." I said slowly after a couple of seconds.

"Hi?" He said askingly and I heard him breath tired.

"It's Riddhima" I told him and I heard how he moved on the other side of the phone.

"Riddhima who?" He asked and I rolled my eyes. I knew I wasn't that special! Stupid me..

"Riddihma Gupta" I explained quickly.

"Riddihma Gupta? Hmm.. Still doesn't ringing any bell" I heard him say cautious. Was he only making fun of me?

"GaRiddhima Gupta, the bartender" I said bored and crossed my arms, not knowing he could see me.

"Bartender? I don't know really'" I swore I could hear him laugh!

"Why don't you just drop dead?" I yelled impatient and he burst out in laughter. "You knew who it was when I said 'Riddihma'!" I added shouting and he chuckled.

"I knew who it was when you said 'Hi'" He laughed out and something of him saying that made me smile. "You know I have number-introducer on my phone?" He added and I rasied my eyebrows to myself. So?

"So?" I repeated out loud and he began to laugh again.

"So now I have your number! Haha!" He exclaimed teasingly and I smiled.

"No you don't. I have secret number, so 'haha' on yourself!" I teased him back.

"Alright then, don't give it to me" He added a little grumpy. "Well what do you want? Couldn't even keep away one day? I'm that irresistible" He added mockingly and I heard him laugh.

"Yeah, don't get your hopes up just yet" I said and giggled. "I need a favour"

"And what is that?" He asked on the other side.

"Here's the deal, my friend just broke up with her boyfriend, as you probably know. Now I really want you to go on a blind-date with her" I told him quickly and began to giggle again.

"Wow.. You really want to give away a guy like me?" He said self-confident and I laughed loudly.

"I'll take my chance.." I said teasingly.

"Is your friend hot?" He asked after a little while of thinking. So typical of men to ask a question like that..

"Yeah, I guess" I said and started to think for myself. What if angie really would get her prince in a million-dollar-car?

"Alright, alright. I'll go out with her. Tell her to meet me at the restaurant Limone at 54th street Friday night. It's a really nice place" He told me bored, like he actually didn't want to go out with her. "I really need my sleep now, I have practise tomorrow. For your sake she must be as pretty as you. Bye" I added before I heard a little click and his voice was gone.

"Bye" I said to my self and put the phone down at the table. 'For your sake she must be as pretty as you'. I smiled when I walked back inside my bedroom and lay down next to Amy.

"Mommy is crazy" I whispered and stroke her black curles. '..as pretty as you'. I couldn't get it out of my mind.

Days went by, almost a week actually. I was back at the club, pouring drinks to people after people. I was stuck in my own thoughts as I were working. angie had her date ' it went terrible. Was I a bad person for liking that? I didn't have the courage to call armaan back again, I don't know why it was so embarrassing ' but it was. She had left me with one sentence the Saturday after their date though, 'He was really boring actually. He is all yours now'. Hah! Like he could ever be mine? He probably just wanted to spend a nite with me then leave me..

"Hi!" Recognizing that voice made my head fly up directly. It was really scary to hear armaan's voice at the same time I was thinking about him.

"Hi" I answered and smiled.

"Long time no seen" He said and took a seat on the other side of the bar. I just continued to smile and looked down at the drink I was busy doing to a young lady in a red dress.

"Do you want something?" I asked when I was done and looked up at him again.

"Just a beer" He said and I gave him a big glass of beer.

"Five bucks" I said and he gave me a twenty dollar bill.

"Keep the change" He said charmingly and I looked up smiling at him.

"Yeah! That reminds me! How was your date?" I asked teasingly and giggled. He grimaced at me and drank from his beer.

"Your friend is crazy" He pointed out and raised one eyebrow. "Please don't make me go out with her one more time!" He added begging and I laughed.

"It's OK, she thought you were boring so it's not necissary" I told him and smiled teasingly.

"I'm not boring!" He protested. "You know she saved one of my used napkins?" He added explaining and looked at me. "What kind of person does that?" He finished and looked scared. I laughed at him.

"angie" I twittered simple. "You should be honoured though, she is a big fan you know" I added and took an order from a man in his fifties.

"Caipirinha" The man said and I began doing the green drink.

"I don't see you taking my napkins" armaan said to continue our discussion.

"Well, maybe I'm not a big fan" I answered teasingly and smiled. The old man looked impatient at me as I were mixing the drink with a spoon.

"Here you go, that's seven eigthyfive" I told him quickly and handed him the glass. He took out one five dollar bill and three one dollars after walking away quickly.

"So, you were saying?" I asked armaan and looked at him.

"When are you done working?" He asked interested and I looked at my wrist.

"Forty minutes" I informed him when I saw that the clock was 3.20 AM. "Why?" I asked and looked up at him again.

"You want me to walk you home?" He wondered and I smiled. He never gave up, did he? I laughed a little.

"Sure" I agreed despondetly and his face lit up. Better to accept now ' I knew he wouldn't give up. I saw Sandra glance at me smiling from where she stood and took orders from a whole gang with ladies and I rolled my eyes at her. I didn't see armaan malik as a big star anymore as everyone else did, I saw him as an annoying but friendly guy. Maybe I had been wrong, maybe he was diffrent maybe hes nt one of these guys one night stand and leave? What if there was more?

"You're late. More than forty minutes has past" I saw armaan stand outside the backdoor of the club when I came out and I smiled at him.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! Eight minutes wrong" I said sarcastic and he smiled back at me charmingly.

"My time is valuble" He explained as we walked down the stairs and out on the street. "You see, in eight minutes I have earned like'" He added and started to count on his fingers. "Sixhoundred and seventy dollars" He finished and looked at me proudly. I rasied my eyebrows shocked.

"Without working" He told me and I shoke my head.

"So you're saying that you earn like five thousand dollars every hour?" I asked quickly and he looked at me impressed.

"Quick on the math" He pointed out and laughed. "And yes, twentyfour hours a day, threehoundred and sixtyfive days a year" He added.

"Well, I didn't ask you to spend your precious time on me" I said and rolled my eyes. He chuckled and looked down at me. We walked in silence for a while, just looking at each other from time to time.

"You want to come to one of my games sometime?" He asked suddenly and I shrugged my shoulders.

"When?"

"I don't know, whenever you want" He smirked. "My next game is on Sunday. I can get you tickets if you want" He informed me. It was Wednesday today ' or Thursday to be exact.

"Amy can come of course!" He said quickly when I didn't answer.

"And angie?" I asked and smiled evilly.

"Do you have to bring her?" He whined and I giggled.

"I wont go alone! And besides, she would never forgive me if I went to a Knicks game without her" I added and thought about what a big Knicks-fan angie was.

"If you can bring her, you'll come then?" He mediated and I nodded. "OK then!"

He followed me up to get Amy from Lucy and then walked us two back to my apartment where we stood and talked for a while before I entered the code and opened the door. Amy was asleep in my arms.

"Do you want to come up?" I asked hesitant and turned around to face him. I didn't know why I asked it, it just flew out. He smiled big.

"I'd love to" He answered and stepped inside to the stairwells. We walked up the many floors to get to my door and when we got there, I opened it quickly with my keys. It was dark inside and I lit the lamp in the hallway.

"Cute home" He said and looked around.

"I'm just gonna put Amy down, make yourself at home" I mumbled and kicked off my shoes before walking inside to the bedroom: I changed her clothes into her pajamas and placed her in my big bed. I kissed her on her forehead before walking back outside to find armaan in my kitchen.

"You want anything? Coffee, ice-tea? Name it" I said and opened my fridge.

"No it's fine" I closed the fridge and turned to him. We walked out of the kitchen and in to the livingroom where we began to talk all through the night. We just sat there and talked for forever. We didn't stop until Amy woke up and armaan realized it probably was time for him to leave. It felt nice though ' just talk to a guy and nothing more. That night it was like the two of us became friends'.

Remember to tell me what you think :)

Bye!
