It felt like puking. Sometimes Aryan wanted to question the whole chef community of this universe about why did they decide to ever use raw tomato slices in sandwiches?

His hatred for tomatoes was not a natural impulse,it was when he lost his sister the picture of her blood painted on the walls of the washroom made him hate that colour too much that even now everyday when he enters an operation theatre he goes through those annihilation of losing a life.

"Shitty you know the best part was Beautiful slamming the bill like a badass on loose!"
Darshan said thumping his fist in the air continuing how feisty Sejal was at the restaurant that day,and it was a complete different side of her to loose her cool.

Aryan couldn't help but relax on hearing something about Sejal and he could bet a little smile was creeping its way into the universe of his eyes,nose and ears.

When a month back Sejal being the forward one among the both of them came up with the most dumbest way of proposing him - I want you and me to give a try to whatever we have between us.

Thinking about that day Aryan wasn't sure of how to respond to the sudden eruption of events. Never he had expected Sejal to take such a bold step because he knew how deep his commitment shit was.

A few years back once in medical school he tried a relationship and it turned out to be a money disaster because he would always end up messing big time and didn't ever knew how to make up so all he could do was just buy them expensive gifts which could atleast keep her in the shaft until the next fuck up.

But it felt different with Sejal,because he didn't need to explain her things,she understands to deal with situations like a more mature person,she knows that finding a moment to text her a 'I am busy' is the sweetest thing he has ever done, listening to his heartbeat he realises that if this stops somebody out there is going to make heaven a hell in depression, everytime looking into the mirror an automatic reflex adds an extra effect of perfume to fill the space with his essence to be noticed.

Maybe this is called being truly happy.

"You are smiling!?"
Tiger suddenly shouted watching Aryan smile unstoppably.

It's not like Aryan doesn't smile or anything but watching him happily smile made the situation more strange for Tiger and Darshan.

Tiger continued practicing his dance steps while Darshan sat on the porch clicking the music system and changing it every one minute as Tiger matched up the beats of the continuously changing songs. This is their normal routine of hangout whenever they find time from their heavily decked up schedule.

Aryan would do the cooking almost trying a new recipe every time and there are days Darshan would swear he is never going to be the tester of his food but eventually Aryan would be the only designated cook.

There was this one time when Darshan tried cooking a lobster and everything went absolutely fine until they had to put their spoons in the cross manner in their plates,a position where the fork and knife were killing each other because it seemed that he understood hotel etiquettes much better than normal language as had he forgotten to add salt to the dish. In the end they ordered something from the nearby take out.

"You forgot to add sugar. But what are we cooking?"
Darshan chirped from behind going through the recipe book.

Aryan and Tiger both gave a pointed look at Darshan about his usage of the we terminology.

"Okay you. Now tell me what are you cook- oh wait baking?"

"Spotted dick." Aryan said concealing his laugh with a cough.

"Where?"
Tiger asked gasping around and checking his track pant for any loopholes,not finding anything he stared at Darshan.

"Was that an original joke?"
Darshan asked seeing the browning of the food item.

"It’s not what you think, as far as I can tell. Spotted Dick is the name of a traditional British steamed pudding. It’s made, unsurprisingly, of suet and dried fruit."
Aryan explained to both the shocking men in the room.

"The name 'dick' is supposedly an old-fashioned local term for pudding. If the pudding were to be served plain, it would be called 'Dick'."
Darshan gagged in the air as Aryan continued talking about the pudding-
"If it were to be served with treacle sauce, it would be called 'Treacle Dick.' Apparently there’s a lot of dicks around, of all kinds."
Aryan concluded laughing at his own said ending statement.

Both Darshan and Tiger looked lost in shock for a moment before the room started vibrating with laughter.

"But that's weird. To eat something named dick."
Darshan spoke with a distaste in his voice.

Aryan laughed at his tone and added suet to the list of his items to make his so called dick special dish.

"On a serious note Aryan who is keeping that long one of yours so pleased that you are so happy these days."
Tiger asked with all the mischievous glint shining in his eyes.

"How do you know that his one is long?"
Darshan asked bewildered at the sudden unrequited discussion of things.

Aryan didn't wanted to laugh but all this attention to an untouched topic was giving him some positive energy.

"What is long?"

"His dick- shit. . "
Tiger clamped his hands on his mouth when he realised who had actually asked the question.

"O-okay. Do guys generally discuss about their penis?"
Aryan watched with red cheeks as Sejal questioned Tiger who still seemed to be in a mild state of shock.

"Na. It was about A-"
Aryan jumped into action to hug Sejal before Darshan could end up blurting that it was his dick they were talking about,and then it would turn out to be the embarrassment for lifetime and let's not even think about the awkwardness for now.

"I missed you."
Aryan said kissing her hair to add an extra effect of affection although he had genuinely missed her.

Sejal hugged him back mumbling a missed you too in return,giving a small kiss on his cheek.

"I feel like gagging." Tiger said at the same time when Darshan spoke-"they look so cute."

Aryan went back to check his ingredients not before giving both Darshan and Tiger the look screaming behave-we-have-lady-around.

"What's on the menu today?"
Sejal asked sitting on the counter opposite to Aryan who was busily stirring something.

"You."
Aryan spoke giving a small peck on her forehead.

"You wish Shetty."
Sejal answered adding a bit off sass to the Shetty part.

Aryan came and stood in front making her scumble between his giant legs,as he came closer and closer Sejal could feel her heart racing and her eyes closed with the anticipation of a kiss. It felt like her lips missed the feeling of his touch and was craving to be ravished although it was just yesterday night Aryan had kissed her good night when he came to drop her,they had to stop themselves before ending up into a full blown make out session for security from the press persons.

Aryan wanted to share a sweet kiss but something else popped up in his head so he just gave a feather touch to her cheek and pulled her towards him with his one hand,their chests slamming each other almost turned him on giving him an erection.

Sejal snapped opened her eyes with a flutter because the anticipated kiss never came and now they were in a heart to heart music listening position. With their breathing coming in a sync Aryan pinched her waistline making her take a deep intake of oxygen as something deep down was turning wet.

"Aryan."
Sejal let out a small whisper laced with a moan of pleasure.

"You are so beautiful."
Aryan lip touched her ear while speaking to go on with the tease,he wanted to see till when Sejal could resist him.

Sejal grabbed his collar to bring his face in front of her so that she could kiss the hell out of this devil who was teasing her so badly.

Before she could lean a little more and plant a kiss Aryan took out something from the cabinet behind her and left her breathlessly sitting on the counter alone,flushed red with the tease and turn on.

"Fuck you Dr Shetty."
Sejal shouted in a mix of desperation and frustration.

"That would be amazing Muñeca."
Aryan said with an additional wink making the situation a more turn on,all Sejal could do was leave the space where this tease God was breathing.

"Dr Vyas atleast you tell me what's the name of this dessert? Dr Shetty wouldn't tell me."
Sejal asked making cute little puppy eyes.

Darshan gulped in some invisible water not understanding how to disclose the name of the dish and the cute little eyes she was making were irresistible so he looked up at Aryan for help and even cursing that man in his heart to choose such an odd dish to be served when he already knew a lady will also be present on the table. He is such an asshole.

"Dr Vyas please,okay atleast quoting it."
Sejal encouraged to which Aryan gave out a loud laugh.

Below the table Sejal slapped Aryan on his right thigh to which he immediately caught her hand entwining their fingers making her gasp in shock.

"A way to man's heart is through food and his -"
Before Darshan could even complete Tiger started laughing and shouting this is the worse thing ever quoted.

Sejal looked confuse between the two men one quoting and the other laughing while simultaneously trying to set her hand free from the devil's snare.

"Cut the crap. It's Spotted Dick."
Tiger said without a beat of hesitation making Aryan leave her hand.

"What?"
Sejal asked confused and happy to get her hand back,although she wanted to give a perfect matching smirk to Aryan she had an issue to resolve.

"Spotted Dick."
Darshan confirmed giving a little look at Sejal and then stare gagging his pudding.

"Gross. Guys will be guys,atleast don't think with your that part while eating. That was a sick joke Tiger."
Sejal spoke digging her spoon into the pudding.

"It wasn't a joke."
Darshan said taking his bite from the dessert cup.

A hand creeped on her thigh making little circles on her white pants, although there was a fabric between her skin and his hand she could feel the heat radiating from Aryan's hand as heat rushed to her cheeks making her drown in an embarrassing turn on,ad it took all her will power not to moan in pleasure by the pressure Aryan was creating in her pelvic region.

Swallowing her saliva and squaring her jaw she tried controlling her hormones,because this lunch would turn out more awkward if any of the either two find out what was happening below the table and her words on the dish name was long lost.

Stabling her quivering hand Sejal took her first bite and almost moaned with the mixture of taste buds and turn on pressure pleasure.

Aryan was quite enjoying the dessert as his fingers continued it's magic on her thigh which eventually made Sejal bite her lower lip as a controlling mechanism which was so beautiful to watch than savouring the pudding.

Aryan wasn't sure of why he was doing this but teasing her was making him smile and to be honest it was a hot turn on for him to watch Sejal so desperate and flushed but definitely it was torture for him because definitely he wasn't getting laid as her terms were quite clear when she proposed.

"I want you and me to give a try to whatever we have between us."

"I understood that."
Aryan replied staring at the sky as now the heavy rain has stopped and tiny little baby droplets hit his face.

"Then why did you say what?"
Sejal asked furious with the situation because she never knew proposals would be that difficult.

"I might end up hurting you."
Aryan finally said.

"Failing even without trying would be a regret and that maybe more hurtful."
Sejal spoke realising maybe some philosopher had conquered her soul which made her speak such a thing.

"I don't want to commit."
Aryan spoke like a judge giving his final statement or verdict on a case.

"What the hell has got into you Dr Shetty? I am not asking you to bloody marry me. I am just saying let's give a try instead of beating around the bush like some freaking teenagers who don't know how to confess feelings. I know this is not a good proposal but hell man atleast I came up with the guts to ask you out saving both us from this non ending torture of emotional hurt and here you are saying you don't want to bloody commit."
Sejal spoke with whatever energy she could grasp from the rain droplets.

"Okay. How about we don't commit?"
Sejal asked after a few minutes when Aryan didn't reply anything after her previous monologue burst out.

"What does that mean?"
Aryan spoke up confused.

"I don't happen to know why you don't do commitments but we can work this out without it. Only we need to be loyal and trust each other."
Sejal laid her solution to the problem because she knew he would never agree to commit.

"Loyality and trust."
Aryan repeated confused over all the situation.

"Yeah Dr Shetty loyality and trust. You don't need to share everything and anything with me until and unless you feel like doing it,the same goes with me."

Aryan nodded asking her to continue with whatever solution she had come up with.

"No limits. No interrogation. No expectations."
Sejal concluded everything in three sentence.

No limits.
When you start limiting and building boundaries to your partner that ends up suffocating the relation into toxic restrictions.

No interrogation.
They won't talk about the past or the future and just enjoy their present because Sejal didn't wanted Aryan to feel drowning in the emotional debts of her mother's love and her father's care for him. As partners they will have no rights to question about any decision or any act about each other until and unless they willingly decide to share.

No expectations.
Expectations are good thing until a breaking point where it turns out to be a hurting factor. So they won't expect anything from each other until they commit because both of them had work and their own careers to look after.

After much of calculations and contemplation Aryan agreed to give this a try because he was fed up of living the alone boring life also.

"Very importantly Dr Shetty we are not going to ever mix up personal life with our professional life."
Aryan nodded carefully because he knew that was a very good thing for not to fucking up relationships.

And here comes the last clause of their simple relationship.

"No sex until in a bounded relationship because I don't want to enter a relationship which is sustaining because of physical intimacy that doesn't mean I am against it or something."

Aryan watched Sejal struggling to maintain a stable composure so he finally decided to end this pleasure for her and torture for his own part of anatomy.

He drank his water slowly trying to extinguish the heat in his body while Sejal sent daggers at him for his mindless act when having people around which bought a smirk on his face.

"How about a movie guys?"
Aryan was shocked when Sejal gave this preposition because her eyes and body screamed she had something planned up for taking back on him.

"Would love that."
Tiger was the first one who spoke up,which made Sejal think of why he was present here in the first place.

She stared at Tiger finding his presence so odd in this place.
