Please read the previous part here ( It’s My Life – 34 ). Now let’s continue
I said “I too love gardening, maybe I will take you to my place someday so you can give me some tips to enhance and grow my garden”. I went inside following him.
I saw this place was a little less than a complete mess. Oh bachelors I chuckled to myself. Ravi said “please sit here Anu and don’t mind the mess” pointing to a simple cane wood chair in the living room.
Definitely the only one chair, void of the mess. He asked “so would you prefer water or soda with it”? I said “just water will do for me”. He smiled and went away.
When he came back with the tray I asked “what were you smiling about when I said water”? He said “I too prefer it the same way with water Anu, so I smiled because our preferences matched”.
I said this seat is very uncomfortable, if you have a mat then we can sit more comfortably on the floor”. He said “I too prefer it the same way Anu”. This time I smiled because our preferences again matched.
He proceeded towards his bedroom and came out with a heap of clothes which he dropped in one corner on the floor. I felt alarmed and asked “what are you doing Ravi”?
He simply said “oh nothing Anu, I am trying to make some space inside for both of us”. I screamed “so why drop the clothes on the floor then”? He calmly replied “oh don’t worry, I did the laundry yesterday but did not find time to put them away”.
I again thought to myself, typical bachelor again… He came back from his room and carried the tray inside to his bedroom. I too followed him carrying the bag of rum and snacks I had just bought.
There was a double mattress laid out on the floor with a hurriedly covered bedsheet and two pillows. Ravi said “sitting here might be more comfortable than on the mat on the floor”.
I grinned hearing this because after the last park incident I was now going to sit with him on his bed. Anyway we settled down using the pillows as reclining backrests against the wall while Ravi poured two pegs.
I served the quick bites which I had bought. We settled laying side by side with only the snack packets between us. Ravi asked “so what frustrations were you going to vent out at the pub Anu”?
I replied “never mind that, I don’t want to ruin our evening Ravi”. He put his arm around my shoulder pulling me into a side hug and said “it’s ok Anu, maybe I can be of some help”.
I didn’t tell him the entire story but only about Prakash’s honeymoon. As expected Ravi did not like it and sympathized warmly with me. We were a few pegs down by now and I was feeling naughty already.
I placed my palm on his crotch and asked “so how is he managing since our public park encounter”? Ravi replied “well not too good actually”. I naughtily asked “why? Are your hands not helping”?
He kept his glass aside and cupped my boobs gently. He said “no, they are no longer effective since you used yours”. I seductively asked “so would you like me to use my hands again…effectively that is”?
He pulled me into a long smooch and asked “do you have a better solution in mind Anu”? I whispered “take it out quickly then before I change my mind”.
