Taming The Casanova novel Chapter 79

Manyata's POV

It was evening, so he asked me to get ready and ran to his room after kissing my cheek.

Oh, God!! I blushed and then shook my head.

I went to my room, took out a dress for me and went to take a shower.

I wore a light mauve coloured dress, applied very light makeup, kept my hair open and went downstairs. He was waiting for me and the moment he saw me, his eyes lit up.

" Wow !! You are looking ravishing. "

" Thanks, you are also not looking bad. "

Liar... He is looking very handsome.

My inner voice said. She spoke after many days...

Shut up !!

" Thanks, shall we go?? " He asked and we both left for the restaurant.

The ambience was very nice, Sahil had already called to reserve a table. It was beautiful and romantic. He must have asked for a different setting. As our table was arranged on the balcony, from where we could enjoy the performance of the live band and yet we were almost alone there.

There were many exotic flowering plants in beautiful pots. They were just adding colour and fragrance around us. The setting was beautiful with lamps and candles. The live soft music was creating a magical atmosphere. Everything was screaming romance... A perfect place for a date. 

" Wow !! This place seems to be really good. I liked it. " I said with a smile.

" I am glad that you liked it. Let's order some starters," he said with a smile and gave the menu to me.

We placed the order for snacks and dinner and asked to serve just the starters first.

The live band was playing beautiful songs. Some couples were dancing on the soft romantic tunes. It looked so good.

Sahil got up and extended his hand towards me.

" What ?? "

" May I have the honour to dance with you, honey?? " he said with a smile.

I loved dancing so I agree.

" Yeah sure..." I placed my hand on his. He led me towards the dance floor. He drew me in his arms and we started enjoying our dance on the very soft and romantic music.

Sahil was a very good dancer. He was very light on his feet. We both danced on a few songs. I was a bit hesitant in the beginning but later on, I enjoyed it a lot.

He kept looking at me with a sweet smile on his face. He didn't even look anywhere else. I was melting with his arms around my body. I was getting very shy and conscious.

" Can we go and eat? I am hungry. " I said to distract him.

" Sure honey, let's go. "

We had our snacks while enjoying the soft love songs the band was playing. He seemed to be more interested in me than food. He kept smiling at me. I was very much conscious because of that.

" Sahil please eat your food, it's awesome and is getting cold. " I said to him.

" Doesn't matter. I am enjoying my self... You are looking gorgeous today. I can't seem to take away my eyes from you. "

" Sahil, please... Have food, I can't finish all that. "

" How can I eat without looking at it. And I just told you that I can't avert my eyes from you. So let it be. "

" So you will not eat?? I swear the food is delivered. "

" What to do?? I have no option but to miss the food. " he gave me a killer smile.

" Why did you come for the dinner, if you didn't want to eat?? '

" I didn't say, I don't want to eat. I said I can't while my eyes are being stubborn and have refused to look at anything else. I can't eat like this. What to do?? I guess I have to be hungry. " He said looking at me with so much love in his eyes.

Seriously??  This man could go to any length to have his way. So much practice... He knew exactly what to say, to get things done as he wanted.

" Sahil, stop this drama please."

" Say whatever you want... But you will realise my feelings one day... Don't worry you about me, enjoy your food, honey. "

" Ughhh... you are impossible. I can't eat like this. How can I eat alone? "

" Then there is only one solution... " He said with a wink.

" You are so irritating... Are you 3 years old?? Even a 3-year-old wants to eat on his own. "

" I can't eat without looking at it.  Just... don't worry about me, you enjoy the food, I am already enjoying myself. "

He was adamant as hell. I was feeling bad that he was not enjoying his food. I finally extended my hand towards him to feed him. The stubborn man finally smiled and ate. I was feeling very shy about doing that. He kept smiling and ogling at me.

I didn't wasn't to blush, but my face was getting hot under his heated gaze... He even winked at me when his lips brushed my hand.

" Behave yourself or eat on your own." I glared at him.

" Sorry honey... " He said in a very innocent and sweet way,  as a child says sorry to his mom or teacher.

He was really too much... I just glared at him again and he smirked. Finally, when the food was finished, he caught my hand and kissed it.

I looked around... thankfully, no one was there. But my face was red like a beetroot.

" Thanks, honey, everything tasted even better today. After all, you touched it. "

I ignored his comment, as he said that very sweetly, I didn't want to argue with him. In spite of getting a bit irritated, I somehow liked his naughty smile and his antics.

It was a beautiful night. I loved every minute of it. We came back home.

I was going towards Swati's room when he caught my hand.

" Please don't go yet... The night is not over yet. Please let's spend some more time together. We need not to call it a night. " He said with pleading eyes.

" Sahil, I am tired and sleepy. "

" You know, I can't sing like Sagar, but If I could, I would have sung a song for you," he said in his husky voice, looking into my eyes and coming very close to me.

My heart started beating very fast...

" Which one?? " I asked but my voice seemed like a whisper.

Aaj Jaane ki Zid Na Karo...

Yunhi, pahloo main baithe Raho...

Aaj Jaane kee zid naa Karo

haaye mar jaayenge,

hum toh lut jaayenge

aisee baate kiya naa karo,

Aaj jaane kee jid naa karo.....

Tum hee socho jara,

Kyun naa roke tumhe...

Jaan jaati hai jab,

uthake jaate ho tum

tumko apanee kasam jaanejan,

baat itni meri maan lo...

aaj jaane kee jid naa karo,

Oh my God !! Why was he saying such things??

I was losing my mind and heart. He was such a charmer but for the last few days, I started feeling that he was not lying.

I just smiled and tried my level best not to blush, but he was hell-bent to make me.  He led me to the living room. He was getting very emotional and romantic.

He made me sit on the couch and Connecting his phone with the surround sound system and switched on some soft and soothing old songs.

I smiled at that, I had no idea that high and mighty Mr Satan, loved old classic movies and old melodies too.

" What happened?? Why are you smiling," he asked.

" Nothing... I could never imagine that you liked old classics. "

" We actually don't know much about each other. Shall we start, to get to know each other?"

" How ?? " I asked.

" We can talk about our likes and dislikes. We need to know about each other. " He said and I nodded.

We talked for more than an hour but I didn't even realise. It was nice talking to him. He was funny and witty.

We talked about our school and college days. He told me about how Sagar Ji was crazy about Damini. He told me, how he felt that his other half was lost when Sagar Ji went into a coma and he hated him for being in love. He used to think that it all happened because he was in love with Damini but actually it was because of him only.

" I felt really guilty that they suffered so much pain because of me. " His eyes were moist now.

" It's ok Sahil, you did not do it deliberately. Even Sagar Ji and Damini forgave you. They have forgotten it, you must do it too. " I said and he smiled.

" Thanks. Thanks for still allowing me around you.  I swear you would never regret your decision. I realised my mistakes. I am trying to mend them." I just smiled at that and nodded.
