ANUSHIYA SMITH

The next day, while lying on the bed too tired to wake up, this is why I don't go to late night parties instead I just binge and read books. When I open my eyes I noticed a pair of eyes watching me. I jerked and tried to sit straight-Arjun. "Are you okay?" he said.

How can I? He just scared me. But I lied as usual like this is me. "Yes."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. I heard you sleep talking, are you alright?" he said.

"What? Me? Sleep talking? No way. Or might be, amma once told me lack of sleep causes sleep talking or because of nightmares.

"Sorry," I said embarrassed.

"Please, don't." he said. "Even I snore." He said as he laughs to make me less embarrasses. Well guess what, that works. I didn't know this side of Arjun before. This is his perfect gentleman side.

"Thanks," I smiled.

"For what?" he asked.

"For my wonderful, first date. I never imagined my first date would be this amazing. I've no words to express it."

"Pleasures all mine." He smiled.

I smiled and when I was about to hopped out of the bed, he grabbed my wrist. "Anu," he whispered.
