BLOODY MARY(Finale)

Yesterday - Drinking coffee with him in the office canteen at 500:pm, cut to
Today- Arms wrapped around his chest,on a bike at ,5:00am


Lets not judge them,neither of them was a great fan of 'Coffee' so they decided to take some leaps ahead...saving time and money is what we taught these kids ...din't we


5:00am
"Its been a wonderful d....mmm....its been just wonderful"
"Yes absolutely..it was..So...aren't you gonna offer me a cup of tea or something??
"I would love to...but its 5'o' clock in the morning and I am a li'l sleepy...aren't you??."
"Are you kidding me ? I feel fresh as a flower...I mean a very very Manly flower..but fresh..u get my point..don't tell me you don't know how to make tea??"
"ofcourse I know...as a matter of fact....I am GOOD at it "


He,with a belief that he had duped her once again with his allurement ,and she, with a realization that his charm was not 'befooling' enough yet was attractive ,walked into her pinky,flowery apartment.Without being directed,he made himself comfortable and among all the available furniture options,chose a place which held some future prospects for him.She sat right next to him with less than a arm's distance and offered him a hot cup of tea.
With just one or two sips down his throat,he rambled some obvious words of praise in respect of the symbolic tea and placed it on the corner table close-by.He moved a little closer to her with an intension to decrease the one arm distance to that of one palm.He took hold of that one strand of hair falling from her forehead,almost dipping into the tea,causing a hindrance in the whole process and took it softly behind her earlobe.With his eyes glued to hers ,he grabbed the cup in her hand and placed it next to his.In her mind ,she appreciated his consideration for cleanliness more than romance, as spilling of tea would have spoiled the filmy set-up.
He moved even closer now,reducing the distance from one palm...to no palm now.His hand moved from behind her earlobe to behind her neck and was more firm now.
He pulled her closer to herself from the neck,but no motion occurred.He tried again swiftly..but nothing.Instead she pushed herself away and a grim voice came 
"This doesn't feel right"
He was too close to 'the accomplishment' and had no time and energy to create and follow another plan in order to please and woo her without being pushy.He put all his faith into luck ,and the ounces of alcohol residing in her body and pulled her once again.There was no appreciable movement but there was no repelling either.
Now she locked her eyes into his which were wiped off of the shyness.
With his reborn confidence ,he moved his lips close to hers while making sure to maintain the illusive romance in the moment.
Just as they were to meet,a piece of paper dropped off from his pocket into her lap.He still curses himself for not delaying the act of picking it up in the middle of 'the rewarding task'.I don't know what in God's name made him pick that thing up and read it,but what he found was 2 movie tickets.


'Scene Freeze'


Two movie tickets of 10am show which he had bought for himself and his BEST friend.The BEST friend who had abandoned him from going out with this chick.The BEST friend who din't miss a chance to catch a glimpse of this girl.The BEST friend he was about to CHEAT!.And suddenly 'best' and 'cheat' started playing a game of kho- kho in his brain.The ever so non-existent part of his body , his concious,started hurting him,when all the other parts were about to have a party!


'Scene Unfreeze'


He said a quite sorry to the 'geared up' pal in d pants, and without a word,got up and marched towards the exit.
Before she could comprehend or react..he had left...


Along with the tea in the cup....he left two dimly possible love stories unfinished...

BLOODY MARY (part 2)

"Are you kidding me?You are already drunk...you can hardly walk straight without that hand on my shoulder...the only place else you should go is home!"

Ouch!slap on the face this was ..how to recover he thought.She was not the 'get high with one stupid bogus cocktail,start crying about your ex,get tears wiped and lay all over him with such ease that even he loses the fun of manipulation by the end of it' type. Challenge accepted !Ruminating his prior experiences and considering statistical evidences he contemplated a quick 'damage control' plan.

"You can't leave me like this(innocent eyes) ...your my MAN...you must stay with me till i get sober ..i know this lovely place which stays open all night ..we can sit and chat..I've hardly got to know you yet...c'mmon. it wld b fun!"

According to his calculation,she was the independent and 'on my own' sorts and the only way to get her was to boost that belief of hers.And with his kind of skills..how could the plan fail.

"Ok fine...i must stay...I don't want anybody to rape you ...lol..lets go...drive carefully".

2am
This place was on the highway..pretty secluded from the city.It was lit all-over with star-like lamp-shades hanging from the not so tall roof top.It had the whiff of fresh lilies mixed with wet soil..almost like you would want to eat it up.If you have ever wondered what 'mahaul' is all about..well this place defined it.
He walked almost straight now and was successfully able to pull a chair for the lady to sit.Applause :p

"So tell me...are you like not drunk at all??what did alcohol ever do to you, for you to be so rude??"
"haha....are you jealous ...that it didnt get the better of me "
"Nah...why would i be jealous..if I was ur drink..I'd be offended by now..
in fact i feel sad for you...you don't see what i see...you are still stuck in the lame world the way it is..you need to loosen up to appreciate the beauty of this whole set up right now".

Take 1 cup crappy philosophy,add 2tbsp of humor to it,add a flavor of challenge to taste  and bring it to boil.
"I say let it get the better of you...I wanna see if your already criminal eyes can kill anymore"
Garnish it with cheesy flattering.Serve hot!!

4:30am
The scene had reversed.The buddy inside the pants was happier now.Mission was in the right direction to be accomplished.The hand on her shoulder was more confident this time.

"You know..I've never been out so late....this was fun...you are fun".
"You are nice too...now hop on..I'll drop you home...and hold  tightly ok..we don't want you to fall off in the middle of the road".

Despite the fact that whole set up might seem a little tawdry...they both were actually having fun...and did start liking each other by now.

To be continued...
(Last part coming up)

BLOODY MARY!!

So...aren't you gonna offer me a cup of tea or something??
I would love to...but its 5'o' clock in the morning and I am a li'l sleepy...aren't you??.

Just as she completed that sentence she hoped that he heard a li'l less of what she said and read a li'l more of the spark in her drowsy yet wide eyes, and somehow translate it into something that said...."don't leave yet".

She was not the kind who would go out on a 'date' with some random guy from work...but there was something strikingly incomparable about him.He was not 'tall,dark and handsome' but then who is after all,unless you just walked out of a Cinderella story.Not that she was the prettiest girl around but you know sometimes just being alive with functional female parts does the trick,and with an above average face to carry that off you get enough male magnets every now and then to support the phenomenon of 'opposites attract' .So...with a killer charm of flirtatious bluffing...he asked her out ,and she said a seemingly casual Yes.

He on the other hand was a philanderer.One had pretty eyes,the other had a dazzling bod...you can't really blame him,can you.If girls were to be rated from 1 to 10 (1 being the highest) on their availability,he believed he could get anybody from the range of 3 to 7 and might have to work a li'l hard on the 1's and 2's(the 8,9,10's can give themselves a ...u knw wt :P).Well...for this damsel....he dint bother to rate,coz  his best buddy had already put a 'teri bhabhi hai' stamp on her.
But that day,at the party, when she walked in with that gleaming black dress on her satin-like body,with a glass of sparkling red drink in her hand...she looked like a bottle of champagne herself  and omg..i'd call him gay if he did not consider getting slaushed!
So,with a killer charm of flirtatious bluffing...he asked her out ,and she said a seemingly casual Yes.

Now that a vivid picture of the premise has been painted,lets proceed to the 'Date Night'.

Though neither of them called this a 'date' but they did put all the effort in the world to pick the best from their respective wardrobes,for the sake of self-motivation ...if nothing else.
He took her to the best place that he could afford.I wouldn't call it romantic but it did have a sentiment to it which could cause a cute li'l love story to commence.Chivalry was on display for obvious reasons.

"One Tuborg for me and one 'Bloody Mary' for the Lady"
"hmm...u know my preferences already..impressive"

Hitting a conversation and taking it from grass root level to exactly where he wanted ,was no quandary for him.All he needed was a couple of Bloody Mary's ,some shot's here and there and 'tareefon ke pul'.But,She came on as a challenege and quite indomitable I must say.
Irony bestowed upon them and instead of she being led to places....it was she who led him to the Men's washroom (Ooops!!). With his male ego completely chopped off like minced chicken,he somehow managed to gather himself up and pay the Herculean bill this BLOODY not so 'merry' had created.
He wrapped his hand around her shoulder and pulled her a li'l closer with the intension of getting warmth more than giving any.
And for the sake of the li'l friend inside his pants he decided he wsn't gonna give up as yet.Maintaining a distance between her ears and his lips so much so that it was enough to be heard but not felt....he murmured
"wanna go some place else??"
