"I am a compulsive hugger, you see..", she said.
"Well in that case ,so do i ",i replied with a well practiced
flirtatious smile. She gave that confirmation smile that seemed to acknowledge
my flirty comment with grace.
"For a compulsive hugger, you are not that compulsive",i
launched my master-stroke. It might seem audacious on the first date, but then
again she had passed on her number to me in a train in presence of her mother.
She turned to hug me and curled her arms around my back. Soon, i realised
that really was audacious on my part. That stench of sweat and whatever else
...my master stroke had fallen flat on face. Being a gentleman that i am , i
said ,"Well that was pleasing to all my 7 senses". She acknowledged the
comment with another short hug...thankfully!! "You know i am a sort
of a minimalist ",she said. I wondered if minimalists believed in shower.
If nothing, her clothes did confirm her minimalist affinities. “Why do we need
fancy marble and mirrors when we can manage with a shower and a bucket and four
walls”."Oh, she does know about showers, i said to myself and wondered if
she used one frequently. I led her to dinner and sat across the table to avoid
combat with that stench. I already had too much to deal with ..a smelly chick,
a failed date ,a wasted saturday night, etc. "You know, i am just back
from a three day tour i took to Ooty, it does wonders for your mind and
body" she said. "Clearly!", i added with a covert sarcastic tone.
We finished the dinner and tagged along the railings of the mall having routine
conversations of how we enjoyed each other’s company. "Let me show
you something", i said, dragging her to a perfume store .I grabbed a bottle
from my shelf and presented her saying, " i was involved in the making of
this fragrance,i would love if you wore it next time we meet ,your feedback
would mean a lot to me ".She sounded impressed and said that she did not
know a marketing manager of a fragrance company can actually be involved in the
formulation of fragrance."Its appealing to the ladies,you see", i
replied with a a flirty but careful smile. I drove her back to her place and
was thankful to my car fragrance for the first time which i would reject as
useless otherwise. I carefully avoided the goodbye hug and escaped with just a
wave." See you later",she said .I pointed to the bottle gift bag and
uttered, " hope your fragrance precedes you !" and drove on with a
sigh.Later that night , i got a message from her number saying "you wanna go to that new water park next week?".I smiled to myself and thanked my stars !
