Part 15

In Singapore,every residential complex houses a caterer who serves all the main meals to the residents.

It was around 8 in the evening when Shaan returned. The house was engulfed in total darkness. His heart skipped a beat!!!

Letting himself in by unlocking was a long standing habit and even having someone at home didn't change the same''

Taken by surprise by the sudden spurt of light, she almost screamed !!!! His roving eyes caught the melancholy pair instantly. There she was with her alluring beauty clad as usual in her tee and shorts,her darker than midnight tresses unkempt trailing down her shoulders till her knees,she defined serenity'..

Looking at her his heart bled' no one knew better that staying with him was like an exile for her and suddenly he wanted to tear the shackles and set her free'..

Acknowledging each other silently was more of a norm and both followed it religiously. Shaan silently walked into his room leaving behind the unfazed''

The warm bath worked wonders washing away the fatigue and stress. While the water rejuvenated his body,his mind too shed the baggage and came alive with lovely thoughts of the temptress who owned him in entirety. His unwinding regime consisted of finding out to means to make his beloved fall for him - head over heels !!

What do I do to make her at least consider me a friend' I need to begin somewhere'need to break the ice,bond together,instill the confidence in her and finally make her fall in love. But this isn't my mortgage rate calculation which works stepwise. The mission I've embarked on is like daring a lion in his lair'. but I know for sure,sweetheart,one day you'll take pride in the fact that you chose me !!

The water droplets glistened on his chiselled features sculpted to perfection. His unforgiving handsome features was enough to make any woman go weak in her knees but the one who should know this was unaware and absolutely disinterested'.

Dressed in his black sleeveless tee and grey boxers, delectable as ever, he joined her at the dining table'.

Post numerous failed and burnt attempts, half a dozen calls to Swagata and Supriya, she managed to prepare khichdi,fried papad and a potato peas curry'

"Why did you bother with all this?" "You could've ordered from the caterer downstairs."

"How can you eat the same thing day in day out?" "It is so boring."

"I didn't eat from him everyday." "It was only on days when I was too tired to cook."

"Why didn't you say this earlier?" "We've been eating continuously for the past two weeks."

After venting out, she suddenly realized the reason behind the arrangement'.

It was the match between Manchester United and Liverpool today in English Premier League and she wasted absolutely no time in switching on the television. While she glued herself,he did the dishes and cleaned the table'.

Shaan was amazed to see a girl take such interest in soccer and also someone who knew the game like the back of her hand. Her analysis of each game not only enlightened his own reasoning but also left him tongue tied at times,unable to provide her with an answer. She was her animated self when she watched a game and their conversation seemed like two people who knew each other so well'..

The match,though a cliffhanger didn't attract much of his attention. Instead there he was,seated beside her with some distance in between,soaking himself in the reverie of her beauty. His gaze trailed from her small forehead down to the arched eyebrows,lovely hazel brown pools which could hold an ocean in them. Her upper lip,he realized was a little out of shape. the mounds of the lips didn't meet each other.

How imperfectly perfect!!!

The slender neck blended with the strong shoulders,which he felt were a little broad for a woman'.

She's athletic and her shoulders prove so!!!

Her well endowed contours showered him with an adrenalin rush'..

Gosh!!! I was almost losing it !!!

A perfect washboard abs complimented her slender frame all the more !!

At five ft,four inches, she had a pair of slender legs''

Will she ever notice me or for that matter befriend me? Will she see her soulmate in me, ever? The questions in galore had not one answer !!

"Shaan,are you aware of any soccer club around this place?"
