Maybe it was his sincerity, maybe because he was already Shalini's friend, or maybe because of what happened two days ago, Ayesha simply said OK and offered her hand. Mohit smiled warmly and accepted Ayesha's hand of friendship. Thus Mohit was Ayesha's first male friend. The trio enjoyed their coffee and talked for hours. This was the first time Ayesha had felt this kind of comfort with a guy. He was down to earth yet confident. He was funny, but not cheap. He had a warmth and charm around him that made her trust him despite the short duration of knowing him. What Ayesha didn't know and failed to realize that this friend ship was going to progress a lot further than either of them anticipated or thought possible.
A week later, Ayesha got a call from her new friend asking her to accompany him to a dance party the following weekend.
"I don't know Mohit," Ayesha said apprehensively. "I've never dance with a guy before." This was a dream come true for Ayesha, but imagining something and having it come true was a totally different issue.
"Well Ayesha," Mohit said at the other end, "It's a couple only party and no single men allowed. I'd really like to go with you."
"Well if it's couples only, you can go with Shalini," Ayesha said a little nervously.
"I don't want to go with Shalini, I'd rather go with you." Mohit said
"Oh? Why is that?" Ayesha persisted
Mohit was silent for a long while before saying, "Because I really like you and have been thinking about you this whole week, and you're the only one I want to go with to this party. If you don't come with me, then I won't be going."
Ayesha was stunned at Mohit's honesty and sincerity. She didn't say anything for a long moment, and Mohit on the other end was holding his breath hoping that he hadn't crossed a line.
"Ok, I'll go with you" Replied Ayesha and Mohit sighed in relief.
"Thanks, I'll call you back with the details," and hung up the phone. Ayesha was feeling hot under the clothes and felt heart beating faster both in excitement and also in nervousness. She was going on her first date and with a guy she liked.
