Chapter 20 - Handsome Boy

Leena was searching her brain fervently to check if she had seen this person? Where did I see this face? it is way very familiar! Is it that person? Something clicked suddenly. Without wasting a second, she opened her mobile and checked the photo her brother had sent. She smiled wickedly when an idea popped up and now she can successfully destroy the date now.

"tch tch. Flirting on broad daylight when he is on a date with another?" She waited for him to settle in his place first before advancing.

"Hello." She went to the reserved table and sweetly smiled at the person. The man looked at the stunning figure in awe.

"Hello, Leena." He extended his hand for a shake, but the latter did not even bother to see it and settled in her place. He awkwardly pulled back his hand and smiled at her.

"I am Tom. Closed ones call me Tommy. Of course, it's your choice. I am fine with any name." He stated but Leena was simply nodding her head in response and the atmosphere became even more awkward when she was not even nodding to anything while he was speaking like a blabbermouth.

"You look really gorgeous compared to those magazines." Tom was looking at her intently as if he is anticipating her talk.

"I know that and it's a known fact. Tell me something new." Finally, she voiced out with pride while he stared at her with a wide mouth.

Even though Leena was present at the table, her eyes were searching for one and finally her eyes locked the target on a certain person. Little did she knew, pair of eyes were already watching her moves intently.

"You are_"

"Handsome boy." She cut Tom off in the middle of his conversation and called a person standing at a distance to come over. The boy she called over was looking at his sides to confirm if he was the one the pretty girl had called.

"Yes! It's you only! Come here." The boy confirmed it was him when she waved at him fervently. He walked over to her with a blushing face.

"Get me 2 banana smoothies." The waiter boy nodded with a smile noting mentally to make a special smoothie for this pretty girl. He was about to leave when the latter interrupted.

"Banana smoothie means, don't add milk into it handsome boy! Because I am allergic to dairy. Add a half cup of almond milk first, give it a little whisk, then add 2 mediumly riped bananas and blend it properly." Even though she voiced in a flat tone, both the persons were awkwardly staring at her, but she continued without even bothering them. Finally! The waiter thought and started to move.

"Leena, so what I was telling is_"

"Handsome boy! come here! Why are you in a rush?"

She called him again.

"I forgot to tell the most crucial part of this smoothie."

There is even such a thing for it? Do they have to listen to her nonsense, both the persons thought.

"Don't make it into a puree. I prefer my smoothies to be mediocre. When the slightly blended banana enters into the mouth, it should melt away. Keep that in point while making." She closed her eyes as if she was savoring it really while the other two were looking at her with their wide mouths. Leena opened her eyes again when she remembered that she forgot the main thing for this blend.

"Do you know the key ingredient of this smoothie?" She asked looking at the persons still watching her with their wide mouths.

Both shake their heads in deny.

"A pinch of cinnamon is a must and it tastes heavenly. By the way, close your mouths. I just saw a fly roaming here." She winked at them. Both shut their mouths immediately. The waiter ran away from there, clearly scared of this woman.

"You were telling me something?" Leena finally looked at the man and smiled.

"Umm. No, I guess." Both went in silence for some time. Should he ask for her number? But he was really having second thought with this crazy woman.

"Can I have your phone number?" He finally voiced out.

"Oh! Actually, I did not pay the bills for a longer time. So they have cut off my connection."

" "

"Look there. That's my Banana smoothie." Leena clasped her hands excitedly. The moment the waiter boy put her smoothies down at the table, he ran away without even looking back.

Tom pitied the boy. Shaking his head, he looked at the smoothie. A least she is thoughtful and ordered two glasses and when he was about to take one, Leena cut him off.

"Not for you. It's for the person standing behind you. You can order it again if you want." Tom turned back to see no one standing there and looked at her curiously.

"Her name is Lava, she recently died. She wants to leave this world after drinking a banana smoothie. So I brought her here. But you don't need to worry. Even though I see ghosts, we can harmoniously live together. They don't disturb us at all."

Tom looked at her as if she has come out of another planet.

"You don't believe me?"

"Is it? Did he really do that?"Leena stretched her ear pretending to listen to something.

"Lava told me that you were flirting with a girl over the reception. Is it true?"

" "

Now he understood why his friend has notified before handy that she is a bit crack.

"I_I need to go to the restroom.". He blurted out clearly stammering with his words. I need to leave this place before I become a nut-like her, he thought.

"Please take your time and slowly finish your work. I and lava will wait until you arrive." He nodded and rushed to the bathroom just like the waiter without turning back. Until I arrive? Not even in his dreams. He will be glad if their parents don't send him to asylum tomorrow.

Leena smiled mischievously when her mission is accomplished. You can get everything without trying anything, Leena.

Nice phrase! everything without trying anything!

I can use it somewhere next time. She was giggling and talking to herself. Poor soul! I might have scared him with the ghost part. unbeknownst to her, if she has scared Tom or not, she has clearly scared one poor soul which was shaking to the core holding his friend's hand.

Again?
