The man is more cuter than she expected

Shaking his head he blurted out "dumb woman, you are more beautiful than any woman I have seen till now."

He wanted to say more than that but kept it in himself. Ariel just laughed it off thinking he might be teasing her back, but the poor man said truth.

"Aww, handsome you are becoming more brave recently, not bad, not bad. But you can't beat me, okay..? " she added.

Eric holding her hand more tightly nodded his head thinking the woman is on her teasing mode again.

Eric took her into a nearby restaurant where she ordered a veg burger for both of them along with french fries and two large cokes.

She came back with an order number while he choose a table near the window. Ariel waiting for their order looked outside the window gazing at the foot path.

Eric is still watching her to clear his mind. He began thinking about all their interactions till now.

Until now he never felt repulsive towards ariel. Her teasing and flirting made him confused as when she is serious or when she is being naughty than disgusted.

He used to be unattractive and uninterested towards woman no matter what or how beautiful they are. He felt disgusted towards them when they used to cling on him.

But now this woman changed everything and is behaving normally like they were friends from a long time which they are actually not.

Looking at her blabbering he found himself lost in her natural beauty. Her beautiful eyes sparkling with interest seemed raise an unknown desire inside him.

All in his 27 years, he never spoke with an woman privately let alone touch her. when it came to ariel, he is more curious to know about her.

While he is thinking about all their past encounters in these days, ariel called him but he didn't respond so she shook him violently asking

"handsome what are you day dreaming in the middle of nowhere. Our order has arrived long back. Come on let's eat, okay..?"

Eric looked at her who is eating happily and suddenly from no where asked her "dumb woman say do you like me..?"

Ariel looked at him with a flat voice replied "of course i like you duh, is that even a question. Precisely i like your dimples when you smile. Why can't you smile more often hmm..?"

To her surprise he smiled a little which made his dimples appear a little then he said "dumb woman you should answer my question unless teasing me again."

She is eating while talking where as he didn't even drink the coke she bought for him. Ariel said "handsome eat, we can talk while eating also.

Ah the man forgot to bring another coke and said he will bring another one but will take some time. So i dismissed him saying we will share one. Are you okay with sharing..?

He absent minded nodded his head when suddenly a question popped in his head.

Clearing his throat he pored out his thoughts "hey woman, i am going to ask you some questions. Will you answer me..?

The way he asked her opinion about answering made him look like a cute gentleman. Ariel nodded her head agreeing with answering his questions.

The first question is of course suggested by the evil brain and here comes the question.

"Are you always use to buy food for others when ever you go out with some one, especially with boys. Remember woman, you can neither skip any of my question nor choose to lie."

Ariel looked at him as if he has gone insane but still obliged with him in order not upset him. "Handsome, yes i always use to buy food for others, even if some one buys for me i used to share the bill.

I don't like owing anything to any one, be it either money or help. Of course even it is betrayal i will give them back in the way they can't imagine."

With a serious look she added "don't ever come into my bad books handsome, i don't wish to settle scores with some like you."

Eric got curious and asked while drinking with the same straw she drank before "what do you mean by someone like me...?"

"Of course it is with your manly and handsome face duh. See i like your appearance, I don't wish to damage it. And you drank with the same straw i did before"

Eric got slightly disappointed with her answer, then thought what she said is acceptable as they didn't know each other before and they are also not close.

Realizing what she said he blushed coughing furiously and blurted sorry slowly before asking "woman why do you tease me always...?"

Ariel laughed cleaning her hands with a tissue then pinching his cheeks with both hands"ha ha ha, i know you are dying to ask this question. Of course to see you getting all red with shy unable to refute."

She laughed even more when he flushed with shy looking at all the others who are so focused in their conversation. He glared at them which made them immediately avert their gazes.

Eric asked one more question "woman don't you think you should act like a proper lady. Folding your legs on the chair while sitting, don't you think they will ridicule you."

Ariel answered with a question "do you feel ashamed by dining with me like this in a public place."

Like a cute little child he titled his head and answered "why should i feel ashamed, i don't think you are doing anything wrong to be ashamed."

Ariel melting at his cute face colored with innocent frown asked again "then why did you say other's will ridicule me. "

Eric pondering at his thoughts "because i have never seen a lady sitting like this and not caring about the world. I always saw others ridiculing if something happens which they didn't expect."

Ariel advised him "handsome don;t bother about what other's will think. You should you life as per your wishes. These others will not console you if you are in pain."

Eric immediately remembered the same happening with him when his mother died. Instead of consoling and understanding him all of them blamed him for his mother's death.

He nodded his head to her even though he never gave a damn about others. He only thinks about his father but he often thought that his heart became numb long back.

Ariel seeing that he didn't ate anything yet urged him to eat and she started speaking about random things. After coming out of the restaurant they decided to go by walk since it is very near to her office.

Eric is not at all in the mood to go back for his work so he walked along with her to her office. Eric held her hand out of habit he habituated recently.

The way she is swinging their hands while ariel talking with eric, mad every one look at their with envy. They started gossiping in between themselves. All this things made eric to know more about her.

As hi evil mind suggested he already started liking her more than she thought but struggling to accept it. the woman who made his mind crash is happily blabbering something while walking along with him.

The man went along with her all the way into her office cabin and sat opposite to her on the couch. Ariel asked "handsome don't you go back for work..?"

Eric shook his head saying "i will stay with you until you finish your work, then will go home together.

Ariel nodded her head and started working on her unfinished documents for the recent projects. Emily came to inform something but startled looking at eric sitting on the sofa opposite to her boss.

She gave a knowing look to ariel and left placing the important files she asked her to.

Eric placing his face in between his hands scrutinized her up and down while she was working. He looked around the office, like her it is also so lively.

Ariel with a pen in between her teeth seriously studying the documents where as eric didn't even blink an eye while looking at her.

She casually looked at him and announced "hey handsome don't be look at me like that, you are more cuter than i thought. Your cuteness is distracting me."

He coughed furiously glaring at her "woman when will you stop making me embarrass, i will go out for a walk."

She shouted at his back making a gesture of throbbing her heart"aah handsome, i was just joking don't go away breaking my heart."

Eriel criticized her shaking his head "drama queen never fails me amaze. Aah woman i feel like i am obsessed with you."

In the mean time xander after getting his appointment with ariel planned to use her as a stepping stone in getting some big projects. With this official appointment he thought he got a free ticket for his success.

He immediately informed about this with rachel and she said innocently "what is the need of getting an appointment when she is our friend and your ex girlfriend.

Oh yeah i forgot, now she is heir to a big company so it's okay. Don't get angry she will definitely support us in getting projects." She seemed to pacify him but she is actually twisting her words.
