It’s 10 P.M and I am sitting on my bed in my old mauve raw-silk pajamas with my legs stretched out in front of me, laptop carefully placed over my knees, Domino’s take away on my side, Notting Hill playing on T.V and blank mind. It’s been three hours and I have tried every single thing to relax my mind and hammer out few thousand words for those two bloody blog entries but nothing is happening, nothing is coming to my mind. When I came home after office earlier this evening, I threw my stuff on the sofa and walked straight to the bathroom, kicked out my shoes and jumped for the hot-water bath, then I made myself some coffee, slumped back on the sofa, placed the laptop on the table in front of me, switched it on and before it could show sparkling gold Louboutins wallpaper on the screen, I slept.
It was five past nine when the shrill voice of my blackberry brought me back to the life. Without looking at the screen I flipped open the phone. It was Vikrant. VIKRANT!!“Hey” I scrabbled in sitting position.
“Hi. I hope I am not disturbing you.” He said in his usual husky voice.“No. No. Not at all. I was ..er…just sleeping.” When the hell I slept?
“Sleeping? At 9 on the Monday night? Is everything fine?” He asked.
“Yeah! Everything is fab” shit! “I was just bit exhausted so thought of catching up on some sleep” I retort. No. Noooooooo. How could I sleep when I was supposed to work?
“Oh. I got it.” He chuckled.“So. What this call is all about?” I asked gingerly trying very hard not to sound rude. I mean I was little pissed because of my sleep-at-the-very-wrong-hour-of-the-very-wrong-day thing or may be after last Sunday when Priya canceled my date without telling me, I wasn’t expecting him to call.
“umm…..i was wondering if we could meet up tomorrow and grab some coffee? Of course after your office!” He agog. “Actually, My shoot for tomorrow has cancelled and I have plenty of time so I thought if we could meet up!”What? After that day I wasn’t even sure that he would ever call me but here he didn’t only call but was asking me out. Again.
“Yes! We can meet. Definitely we can.” I sang.“Ok. I will pick you up at 7 p.m from your office.”
“Deal.” I hung up and immediately dialed Domino’s.Girl in old pjs in big city!!!
