Raj turned on the TV and Trisha came back to the living room in tracks and T-shirt again.
"Here, take the remote, Ill make us some night time coffee, ok naa?" said Raj.
"Sure." said Trisha. Raj went inside to make coffee. Trisha, after surfing through a few channels, switched off the TV and went inside to the kitchen where Raj was warming the milk.
"Hey....nothing on TV?" Raj asked.
"No, nothing interesting. Just thought, I'd come here and make you watch making coffee" Trisha replied.
"What's there to watch in that? Or you wanted to watch ME?" Raj asked smirking.
"Why do you think so greatly of yourself? So much self-pride.....wanted to watch me and all" Trisha said, imitating Raj so perfectly, he clapped.
"You know how amazing that was?" asked Raj admiringly and gazed into her eyes. Trisha gazed right back, playing with her hair, bringing her tresses forward and then back again. Raj asked her to pass the sugar container which was in the cabinet behind where she was standing. Trisha turned, then deliberately brought her hair forward, exposing her neck and then reached on her tiptoes and pulled the container out. She took her time to turn towards him, as if almost expecting him to press his body against her on the cabinet. Raj was just looking at her head to toe, taking in every bit - her hair which shone against the kitchen light, every strand even, smooth, shiny tightly pulled forward exposing her marble like fair neck. The T-shirt which Raj had given her was rather big for her, so the neckline of the shirt fell deep on both sides.
Trisha handed him the container. They gazed again for a moment, then Raj turned back to his coffee making. When it was ready, Raj carried both cups in the living room and kept it on the teapoy.
"Should I put on the news?" Raj asked after surfing through almost all channels on his pack.
"Huh?? Let us discuss office matters, ok?" Trisha asked through raised eyebrows, sarcastically.
"Ok." Raj said with a straight face.
"Are you joking or you are stupid enough to take me seriously?" Trisha asked her eyebrows going so high now, they were close to falling off her face.
"Hahaha....no I was just joking." Raj laughed.
"Are all your jokes bad? Everytime? Just put on some downloaded movie on the laptop or something" Trisha suggested.
"Blue or normal one?" Raj asked.
Trisha picked it up quickly. "We can make a blue one by ourselves so a normal one would do please." Trisha said with a straight face.
"I meant a blue-ray movie...." Raj said.
"Like hell you meant that way....." Trisha said dismissively.
Raj laughed. He was enjoying his time with Trisha. She was smart, quick witted and there was'nt a dull moment with her. Apart from her enchanting beauty, she had responded to his questions just like any other friend (boys), picking up hints, hidden questions and double meanings quickly. She spoke freely and frankly about any topic. She was as satirical as him in her sense of humor.
She could be very good company as a friend - with added benefits, of course - he realised.
Raj opened his laptop and cast 'Saving private ryan' from his laptop to the TV. He blew a flying kiss to Trisha smiling at his thoughts, and said automatically, "I love you, Trisha." He said it jokingly, but he didnt know whether the truth had come out or he really had cracked a joke !!
Trisha looked at him for a fraction of second longer and said, "Yeah, I love you too......" she paused and then continued, ".............for putting this movie. I absolutely love it !!" smiling at him, meaningfully.
She too was having confused thoughts.
