Chapter 2:
Our project started and I was working closely with Shruti. I am not good with women. All our conversations were mostly work-related. She didn't make any move with me as Pandian had mentioned before. One thing he told is true. She tried to make me do most of the work. But she projected it like she did it. I was not angry with her in anyway for this. She literally ordered me to do things even though I held a more senior position in the team.
Life was uneventful until one Friday. We had to work over the weekend. I used that opportunity to get her mobile number. Saturday morning, I planned to make use of the opportunity. I sent her a message asking her when she will reach the office. She told that her two wheeler doesn't start and she is stuck. I asked her if I can pick her up. She immediately replied "Yes. I was thinking about asking that myself
"
I literally danced after reading that message. I asked directions to her house and went there. She was dressed in a tight t-shirt and jean. She sat behind me with her legs on both sides. I was wearing my bag. She told that she can carry my bag as she was not carrying hers. She got the bag from me and put it around her shoulders. As I started the bike and travelled for sometime, she bent down a bit and placed her elbows on my shoulders. My heart skipped a beat. She was leaning on my shoulders with her boobs brushing my back. She was totally cool though and talked to me and asked questions about where I come from and asked about my family, education and everything. I was as usual being bad at conversations. I just answered her questions and asked the same questions to her. She could have definitely felt my body shivering with her touch.
We reached the office and we were totally alone there. She looked like a completely different person that day. She was a fun-person to be with. Cracked a lot of jokes. She never had any inhibitions in touching me and teasing me. We did all the work that was needed. It was around 6 PM when we finished the work. She used to address me with respect before. It all changed that day.
Me - What is the plan for Saturday night?
Shruti - Nothing much. Will be pretty boring. How about you?
Me - I also have nothing to do.
Shruti - Oh. You don't have any friends to roam around with
Me - There are some friends. But they all have girlfriends to roam around with
Shruti - I see. Shall we go somewhere together?
This was what I have been waiting for. I never had guts to ask a woman out. Here was the woman of my dreams asking me to go out with her.
