So people ready here comes
Part three:
---Rey---
I stood there in the middle of bathe college parking lot, dumbstruck. No girl has ever dumped me and this girl had the hits to walk out on me, scratch that drive off on me.
I was walking towards my car when I saw one of kriya's friends. I did not know her name, well better to know it now.
---Kriya---
I walked into my house and saw my mom sitting on the couch watching some non-reaslistic chick flick. "Hi, mom." I said. And she replied with a smile and a pat next to her on the couch. I sat beside her and started watching the movie. Really, the whole idea of love and relationship in movies is so fake mostly it is something like, good girl and the bad guy fall for each other.
Bad guy was just playing with the good girl, and the good girl falls for him. He stays in denial but then realises that he also loves her then the girl gets to know that he was playing with her, she dumps, he cries, she cries. She moves on, he chases her and finally she forgives him.
Pathetic.
But who can deny I was like that once.
But now I have better thing to do than fall in love. Like going to my room and getting dressed up.
"Do you want me to come to the restaurant with you?" I asked my mom getting up from the couch and heading towards the stairs to my room.
"Yeah it's Friday and it's gonna be pretty much hectic. If you wanna give a hand please come." She said not even looking up at me.
"Okay, I'll call Sharon also." I said to her and she gave me a faint nod and a quick smile.
--At Evening--
I was taking someone's order as the waiters and waitresses were too busy today, like every other Friday night. Yeah I don't know why but I thought that the half or at least one-fourth of Mumbai's population came here every Friday.
"Miss?" The man asked me politely bringing me out of my thoughts. I apologised quickly and gave the order to the chefs. Whenever I worked at my mom's restaurant I always worked in the V.I.P section. Call it pride or whatever but I hated to go to the normal section. There were always romantic couples and yeah the high schoolers and everyone who I think will break up after a very minimal amount of time.
But the thing was today, there were not many people in this section. I was told to serve Table no. 23. Now where was it. Ha there it is I thought as soon as I spotted the long metal rod emerging out of a table with number 23 written in gold with a black background.
I approached the table and began searching for my pen and writing pad constantly saying "Hello I'm Kriya Ghai, your waitress for tonight. Would you like to order something." I completed and deciding to spare the person a look.
"What are you doing here." I asked as soon as I saw the person's face. Reyaansh effin' Singhania. Do I have to really need to spill a soda over him.
"Felt like eating." He replied very casually. Oh really, I'm not buying any of that. "How did you know that I worked here? Are you a stalker or something!" I said raising my voice at him at the end.
"Woah, don't flatter yourself. I'm not stalking you. I'm simply a hungry customer wanting food and yeah I come here very often." He said. I'm not buying any of that either. This person does not know who I am. And then why haven't I seen him yet.
"Then why haven't I seen you around ." I asked him. "You haven't seen me around but Smriti aunt has. I'm one of her favorite customer but she won't even remember your name." He said in a very mocking way.
Oh so he did not know who I was, interesting.
"Now, are you going to take my order or just stand there and stare at me." He said with that smirk I wanted to slap off "I mean I don't mind as long as you're here." He stated and added a wink at the end.
"What do you want?" I scoffed.
"Well for a drink a coke please." He smirked. What did this guy find so amusing.
"I'll be back." I told as I finished writing that down.
"Please do." He smirked the infamous Reyaansh Singhania smirk. Again. I gave him a short glare and walked off. I saw Sharon waiting for me.
Sharon and I usually hung out at my mom's restaurant but sometimes when it was too busy I served as a waitress and she gave me a hand while chatting with me constantly.
"Want something?" She asked. "Yeah get me a coke." I replied.
"Here" She said handing me the coke. I thanked her and walked back to Rey.
I gave him the coke and asked "So ready to order?"
"Yeah, I think I'll just have a steak. It wasn't my first choice but what I really want wasn't on the menu." He replied looking down at the menu. What'd I he want.
"What did you want?" I asked him.
He looked up at me and replied "You." Adding the smirk at the end.
"Ha, so cute." I said glaring at him. "I'll be back with your steak." I said walking away.
"I'll be waiting." He replied back. I rolled my eyes and headed to the kitchen.
My mom was giving orders to all the chefs and I gave her the slip of Rey's order I which it was neatly written New York Steak (Burnt). My mom read this and looked at me surprised a little.
"What's this?" She asked me.
"I was shocked too, the customer said he hates it when the stake is not well done practically burnt on the outside." I replied as innocently as I could.
"Okay then burnt it is." She replied giving the instructions to a chef as I smiled mischievously.
Twenty minutes later my mom screamed 'burnt steak' and I went towards her and thanked her and walked back to Reyaansh.
I placed the steak in front of him and he looked at it horrified.
"Would you like something else too Mr. Singhania." I asked with a sweet smile.
"Yeah, how about something edible." He said looking at the steak gulping.
"Isn't this what you ordered." I said.
"I ordered steak not a piece of charcoal." He said grossed.
---Rey---
She laughed and said "This is your steak, silly." And started walking away. Oh no she ain't getting away so easily. I grabbed her arm causing her to turn around and scowl at him accompanied by a "What?"
"What will happen if I told the owner what you did to my steak." I asked anger taking over my words.
"Nothing." She replied, challenging me with those big eyes of hers.
"And why is that?" I asked impatient.
"Because my mom is the owner." She spat.
What!! She is smriti aunt's daughter. I didn't know that. Just on cue sriti aunty came over us and recognised me instantly.
"Rey." She said rather surprised. "I didn't know you liked burnt steaks. Well how is it?" She asked.
"It is perfect." I replied. She must've worked hard in it.
"How would you know, you didn't even taste it yet." Kriya intervened and I glared at her.
"So true, how about you eat it and tell me, come on eat it." She urged me to rather forced me to.
I unwillingly cut a piece from the steak and ate it. I swear I would have spitted it out that instant if Kriya or her mom wouldn't be here. And I swallowed it. I am genuinely sorry stomach.
"It's great." I replied back as cheerfully as I could.
"Good then." She said back.
"Well I'm gonna go now." Kriya started.
I was gonna ask her to stop but her mom spoke before me.
"Actually, I think we have enough staff to look over all of this. You sit and enjoy with your friend."
I smirked but Kriya objected "Oh no thats ok, he likes eating alone."
"Actually, I hate it." I said as soon as she completed her sentence. I smiled at her and she returned the gesture with a glare.
"Don't worry Kriya is going to stay with you." Smriti aunty said in a stern voice, directed towards Kriya.
"Aww, thank you Kriya." I said to Kriya and she rolled her eyes.
"Well I have to get back to work." Smriti aunty said walking away.
As soon as her mom left, Kriya sat across me and asked "Now get to the point, what do you want from me?"
I sighed and said "I already made it clear but I repeat go out with me."
"I'm not your type." She retorted.
"Yes, you are."
"Fine, you're not my type."
This girl is the queen of sarcasm.
"Sure." I replied sarcastically.
"I don't like you Reyaansh." She said to me.
"Rey, it's Rey and please just give me one chance." I said.
"No." She replied sternly.
"Please, at least give me two weeks to impress you." I pleaded remembering the time span of the bet.
"Two weeks?" She asked, interested.
"Yup and if I can't, I'll leave you alone for good." I said getting a little happy. She is falling right into my trap.
She thought for awhile and replied "Fine then you have
14 Days."
