MaNan: It all started with a lie

Who Is A Bigger Foodie?

Nandini: manik yeh tum...

Manik*huskily*: nandini tum apna kaam karo aur main apna

Nandini*whispers*: par

Manik: sshh...now cook

Nandini could do nothing but cook. Manik's closeness was creating havoc inside her, her mind had stopped working, she was not able to concentrate on the work she was doing when she felt Manik's warm hands wrap around her small ones and help her chop the vegetables. Nandini's breath hitched in her throat. She was trying her best to concentrate on her work but alas she was melting like a chocolate, losing herself because of his proximity.

Nandini*self talk*: aiyyappa you just love to torture me na. Why do I feel these butterflies when manik comes near me? Why do I always lose myself near him and feel like drowning in those chocolate orbs of his. Aiyyappa yeh kya ho raha hai mere saath?

Manik's condition was no different. He had no idea of why he was doing such things, why being so close to her fwkt so good....a right.

Manik*self talk*: what is happening? Why can't I just stay away from her. Nandini! What are you doing to me? And why am I doing this? What is this feeling? God! I'll go crazy....manik stop thinking about this and concentrate on what you are doing....keep an eye on nandu or she will cut her hand again

Both continued the work, time to time stealing glances from each other.

They were finally done making the noodles when manik got this weird idea in his head.

Manik: nandini lets eat this together

Nandini*serving* : ha so we are going to eat this together only na

Manik: are not like that...I mean together together

Nandini: huh
She twitched her brows in confusion.

Manik: I mean we will eat it from one bowl only and one noodle at a time with its one end in my mouth and the other one in yours and then lets see who eats the most part of it. Who does so will be the biggest foodie
He exclaimed and nandini looked at him with a horrified expression.

Nandini: what? manik this is really stupid....we are not kids that we play such games....its a bad idea!

Manik*pouts*: please....it will be fun
He said so cutely that she could not deny.

Nandini: fine

They both settled on the dining table where manik pulled nandini's chair close to him. She gasped for the second time in the day out of surprise but didn't say anything.

Manik*rubbing his hands excitedly* : get ready to be defeated Ms. Murphy

Nandini*rolling her eyes*: oh please Mr. Malhotra....nandini murthy never loses

Manik: whatever....lets see

Soon they got indulged in the competition leaving all their thoughts and hesitations aside.

They reached halfway eating the noodle and that's when they realised how close they were. They got lost in each other, staring straight in the eye with a constant smile playing on their lips.

They yet continued eating it when a time came where their lips were inches apart and they were lost in staring at each other. They could not keep a track on their actions and got carried away. Manik eyed her lips and following his actions, nandini did the same. Both started leaning in-
