Pratik sat at his desk, staring blankly at his computer screen. He was a 37-year-old man with a successful career as an engineer, but lately, he had found himself feeling restless and unfulfilled.
He had graduated from IIT Bombay with top honors and had landed a job at one of the most prestigious companies in the country, but despite his accomplishments, something was missing from his life.
As he sat there, lost in thought, his phone rang, breaking the silence of his empty office. It was his assistant, letting him know that there was a new intern starting today. Pratik sighed and stood up, making his way to the reception area to greet the new addition to his team.
As he walked into the lobby, his eyes landed on a young woman standing by the front desk. She was petite and pretty, with long, dark hair and almond-shaped eyes. She was dressed in a simple white blouse and black skirt, but there was something about her that caught his attention.
"Hello, I'm Pratik," he said, extending his hand to the intern. "I'm the lead engineer here at the company. It's nice to meet you."
The woman smiled and shook his hand, introducing herself as Priya. She was a recent graduate of a local university and had been eager to start her career in engineering.
As they walked back to Pratik's office, he found himself drawn to Priya. There was something about her that was different from the other women he had met before. She was smart and ambitious, but there was also a softness to her that he found incredibly attractive.
Over the next few weeks, Pratik and Priya worked closely together on various projects. They spent long hours in the office, pouring over blueprints and diagrams, and Pratik found himself becoming more and more drawn to her.
One day, after a particularly gruelling day at work, Pratik invited Priya out for drinks. She hesitated at first, but ultimately agreed to go. As they sat opposite each other at the Chinoiserie restaurant, at the Taj Bengal, Pratik got a chance to properly appreciate Priya's beauty.
Priya was slender, and elegant, with bright, sparkly almond shaped eyes. Clear, tanned and healthy skin, with long hair, which delicately caressed her face, and slender shoulders. With a killer figure to die for, it was apparent, that Priya was aware of her phenomenal figure, and took pains to hide it.
Priya was an ambitious intelligent girl. She had graduated from the world renowned NIFT university in Kolkata at the top of her class, and desired to become the leading UI/UX designer in the country.
As the conversation moved childhood sweethearts, to childhood dreams, to goals in life, Pratik further appreciated Priya for her wit, intelligence, and confidence. It helped that Priya was undeniably beautiful, and the young couple giggled throughout the magnificent dinner.
As the Dinner was working its way to the end, Priya whispered lets go Dancing, and Pratik wasted no time in calling for the cheque, whisking the leggy lass to the nightclub, Roxy at the Park hotel.
Ordering 2 Margaritas, Pratik and Priya headed the dance floor.
Dancing next to each other, breathing her fragrance, Pratik was going mad with ecstacy. Priya was an elegant, and skilled dancer. She swayed to the beats of the Electronic Dance Music being played perfectly, Her hair dancing around, Pratiks arm around Priya's slender waist, this was as heaven as it gets.
As the club was shutting down, Pratik and Priya got into an Uber, and now the age old game of cat and mouse started. Both wanted each other and were acting coy. The Demure Priya told Pratik that she will come over next time, this time to escort her home. Pratik being a through gentleman, reluctantly agreed, and the Uber Proceeded towards Priya's Salt Lake apartment.
While in the cab, the couple held hands, sat close to each other, but were largely quiet. Priya rested her head on Pratik's shoulder and then Pratik asked, please let me come over. I will behave, promise.
Priya agreed.
