Hello ppl 😃 back with another OS..😉 Just a random thought actually inspired by iru ( ireena 7) so here you go 😊
OS - First Date ❤️
Nandini was gazing dreamily at the fire flies in the jar, which Manik gifted her earlier this evening at college.The thought of Monster Manik doing something so romantic like giving her , her most loved fireflies made her heart flutter with love for him.As if the fireflies could understand her feelings, they started glowing prettily causing the entire jar to lit up from within.
At that exact moment her phone started ringing.Nandini smiled widely when she saw Manik's name reflecting on the screen." Hi Manik" she greeted cheerfully.
Manik spoke curtly on the other side "Nandu come out.Am waiting outside your house "
Nandini's eyes widened " What? Outside? " she quickly jumped from the bed and went to the window and sure enough Manik stood next to his car staring directly at her window.
"Manik are you crazy? What are you doing here? Agar chachi ne dekh liya toh? Just go" She stuttered on the phone while glaring at him.
"Nandini argue mat kar.Just come down and haan change your night dress, we are going out " He spoke on the phone while gesturing her to come down with his hand simultaneously.
"What ?? going out? Manik you have just lost it ! How can i come out now.Its almost 9pm.Chachi ko mei kya bolungi ? Listen to me just go "Nandini said trying to make him see some sense.
Manik rolled his eyes " Nandini stop arguing.I dont care tum chachi ko kya bologi.But i want you out in the next 5 mins.If you don't come out, am coming in and explain to Chachi ki am taking you out " with that he disconnected and went to sit inside his car.
Nandini looked up in despair 'Aiyappa what am i going to do with this Monster Manik? He never listens to anyone.Ab main chachi ko kya bolungi? '
Her phone chimed with an incoming message from Manik and she glanced at him before opening it 'Apne aap baat kar na band karo aur jaldi neeche aa jao.Am waiting' She pouted at him and closed the curtains irritably.

Chachi glanced up in surprise at Nandini who was walking down from her room fully dressed in a blue kurta and Jeans "Arey Nandu are you going somewhere? "
"Huh chachi woh my friend Navya hai na.She is-- She is unwell.So i have to go and help her.I will come back soon " She stumbled with an explanation.
"Oh acha.But first eat and go.You know i made a new recipe today Dahi Chole Noodles.Taste kar ke batao how is it " Chachi said while pulling up a plate for Nandini.
"Nahi nahi Chachi.I have to go now.I will eat with Navya.Bye " She said and quickly ran out before Chachi would change her mind and make her sample her new dish.

Manik checked his watch for the 100th time in the last 10 mins.He is not used to waiting.But this girl, she always drives him crazy.He wondered what's keeping her.He was about to make true of his threat and go inside when the door opened and she stepped out.
Of his own accord his face broke into a smile at the way she was walking towards him with fire in her eyes.He knew she was annoyed at him.Angry even.But when it comes to her he cant seem to help it.He was playing guitar near the pool trying a new tune for the album when he felt the sudden urge to see her.The next thing he knew he is in her front yard.
"Manik you can't keep doing this.What will chachi think when she finds you here at this time? " Nandini asked as soon as she reached him.
Instead of replying, he quietly opened the passenger door for her.Shooting another glare at him she sat inside the car pouting all along.
Nandini turned towards him as soon as he started the car " Manik answer me.Where are we going now? What is so important that can't wait until tomorrow?" She suddenly frowned " Is everything ok with Fab 5?Is ----- "
Manik quickly placed his finger on her lips halting her questions " Kitni sawal puchti ho tum.Just relax kuch nahi hua hai.I - I just felt like seeing you "
Nandini's heart melted immediately at the yearning in his voice when he admitted wanting to just see her.With a tender smile she held his hand " Manik i understand but you should also understand that i can't just come out anytime you want.What will Chachi think and what will my neighbors think "
Manik rolled his eyes " Nandini why do you take everything so seriously" suddenly Nandini chuckled.Manik frowned in annoyance " What's so funny? "
"You.Do you know you always call me Nandini when you are irritated with me? Rest of the time its just nandu. Although that's very less because you are always either angry or irritated with something " Nandini said teasing him.
" Really? How smart you are " he said sarcastically making Nandini grin.
"Ya really Manik.You always complain na that i take tension very fast.But it is you who is the serious one.You need to let go once in a while " She said.
Manik smirked and caught hold of her hand, entwining it with his and placed a soft kiss on her knuckles making her catch her breath "Oh really? " he playfully nibbled her knuckles causing her to tremble.
"Ma-Manik " It was manik's turn to chuckle at her breathless tone.When she tried to pull her hand away, he placed a quick kiss to to the inside of her wrist before dropping her hand." How about that for letting it go ? " he asked her with a wink.
Nandini blushed trying to bring the butterflies in her stomach under control.His touch always pulled something in her, causing her to tremble.
She quickly turned towards the window trying to hide her blush which just don't seem to go away."Manik atleast tell me now where we are going "
"Well we are going on a date " he said with a smirk.
Nandini quickly turned to look at him with wide eyes " Date ? "
" Haan a date.In fact our very first date " he said with a wink again.
Nandini blushed yet again and looked down at her hands feeling shy.Suddenly their relationship seemed to move very fast and for once she felt it to be real.
"Kya hua? Ms.Nandini Moorthy is speechless? " He asked amusingly.
Nandini looked up at him and bit her lips feeling nervous" No.But Manik it seems so weird to go on a date.That too so suddenly "
Manik rolled his eyes " Oh come on Nandu.Now don't go all serious on me.Its just a date.Nothing to be stressed about.We never really had a single date in all the time we have known each other.So we are just gonna rectify it right now.Now tell me what are you in the mood to eat? "
Nandini's eyes brightened suddenly and she gave him an evil grin " Yeah you are right.So let's go eat Pani Puri "
It was Manik's turn to be shocked " What? Pani Puri? Are you mad? "
Nandini glared at him " Well i know for sure one of us is mad and its not me "
" Very funny Ms.Nandini Moorthy.Now cut the crap and tell me where you want to go" Manik said in a clipped tone.
Nandini folded her arms and said stubbornly " I want to eat Pani Puri.Bas.Its my first date too.I get to decide "
Manik rolled his eyes "God Pani Puri? Like seriously?Kaunsi era se ho tum? Who eats Pani Puri on their first date? "
Nandini glared at him " Me .Now are you going to get me Pani Puri or not? "
Manik sighed in defeat " Fine.But you have to tell me where to go.I have no idea about these road side shops "
Nandini grinned happily and gave him a quick peck on the cheek causing his eyes to widen like saucers.Nandini giggled at his surprised expression and in the next instant promply blushed.Manik smiled at her happy face and her innocence.He shook his head.Cabir is right he is way too deep.

"What here? No way just No way ! " Manik asked shocked when she asked him to stop the car near a roadside junk shop.
Nandini pouted " Manik you promised.Now come on.They make the best Pani puri here " She quickly got down from the car and moved to the driver side and pulled him " Come on Manik.Remember what i said about letting go ? "
With a sigh he followed her and wearily eyed the Pani Puri stall when Nandini ordered "Nandu are you sure its hygienic? "
Nandini rolled her eyes " Manik be a sport.Trust me you have to experience the joy of Pani Puri in shops like this.They are the best " she said excitedly
She handed a bowl to him and he shook his head still wary.Nandini pouted at him then turned towards the shop guy " Bhaiya hum ek hi plate mei khayenge "
Manik's heart began to flutter when he saw the way Nandini swallowed the pani puri and closed her eyes smiling happily.Her obvious delight at something so ordinary made his feelings for her even more stronger.His face broke into a fond smile watching her eat with relish.
She offered him and he shook his head.She glared at him and almost growled at him" Manik !"
Manik rolled his eyes " Fine.I will eat.But only if you feed me " he said with a smirk.
Nandini blushed.He quirked his eyebrow questioningly at her.Feeling shy, she tentatively offered him a pani puri.His eyes never leaving hers, he opened his mouth.Nandini's breath hitched in her throat when his lips caressed her fingers.He gave her a knowing smile making her smile shyly in return.
He then took the bowl from her hand and smirked " Now its my turn "he said holding out a pani puri to Nandini.Still blushing she opened her mouth.Soon they both forgot about everything around them.They had eyes only for each other as they began to feed the other.
Manik couldnt believe how much Pani Puri he consumed.In fact he cant even remember the last time he had one.As they made their way back to the car holding hands, Manik looked up at the stars and sent a quick prayer ( a habit he picked from Nandini ) for sending him his very own star who knows how to make him happy and content.
