Enchanted Love

The silence around the table thickened as Anna and Clara stared at each other spitting fire. Alina and Edward didn’t like the dinner meeting at all.

“Food is here,” Alina said, putting a full stop to the war budding there.

“Wow, Pasta. Did you order this for me?” Anna grabbed white sauce mac and cheese pasta as Alex’s stares didn’t leave Clara even a second. Will she say that it was ordered for her?

“How come always her favourites are her rival’s favourites too?” Edward asked when he realised the unseen war between Clara and Anna for pasta too.

“Of course, who else would I order this for?” Alex said with a charming smile. His actions and words were now for another girl.

Alex served Anna pasta and kept the container there.

“Waiter. Margarita pizza for me” Clara ordered for herself. Alex’s eyes turned colder and she internally smirked at him. She always eats pizza whenever she is damn happy about anything. What does she want to prove here?

“Make it two” Alex ordered without taking his eyes off from Clara.

“Guys, can you stop behaving like kids.?” Alina is irritated with everything. How can they be so immature?

“Did anything happen?” Anna asked blinking to realise what happened.

“Dora, can you just eat pasta?” Edward asked, irritated. The tense atmosphere is not at all helping anyone.

“It’s Anna.” Anna snapped and she resumed her pasta without minding about them. Occasionally she feeds Alex too. Clara felt like smashing the heads of both. Alex never liked pasta. He would buy Clara tons of those but never even touch those even if she feeds him. But he silently enjoyed its flavour when Anna fed him.

“I am done. Let’s call it a day” Clara stood up as she just can’t bear their drama anymore. Is this Alex’s drama? But Anna’s actions proved to be otherwise.

“Let me drop you” Alex stood up. He can’t let her go alone this late.

“No, please. You should be with Anna. She might feel bad.” Clara spoke not in a harsh way though as if she genuinely wanted that. Did Alex expect this?

“I feel dizzy too, Alex” Anna spoke, glaring at him as she silently communicated how she didnt like his interference with Clara.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Jason must be here anytime,” Clara added as she took her purse. Jason? Alex rolled his eyes. Why does this guy give her a lift every damn time even when it’s too late. Men always are men. Alex wanted to be wrong in this. He can’t bear the pain if someone likes his wife. But isn’t that what Clara was loaded with since they were married?

Alex could relate to the feeling of her at least ten per cent. But if it were him, he would voice out clearly about his feelings. But she always masks everything with a smile so beautifully that can deceive anyone.

“Hi guys” Jason came with his evergreen charming smile which is damn irritating to Edward and Alex. Anna looked at Jason with some suspicion.

“Did I meet you somewhere?” Anna asked, trying hard to remember.

“Wow, who is this beautiful girl?” Jason didn’t feel like asking in his low voice as Anna deserves those compliments loud enough.

“Jason, let’s leave ” Clara pressed his palm as Alex’s stares shifted to their hands.

“I feel like I have seen you somewhere.” Anna spoke again.

“Did you meet with any accident?” Jason asked as Anna nodded no instantly

“Maybe if you are beaten up black and blue by someone?” Jason bends now to her height as she was just lost in his brown eyes. She slowly nodded no.

“If you attempted to suicide and broke your ribs?” He asked in his manly voice which started making her feel nervous all of a sudden.

“Why are you asking such questions?” Anna asked, controlling her rushed emotions. This guy surely attracts all kinds of women.

“Then I don’t think we have met anywhere.” He answered with a giggle and Alina burst out laughing. Edward looked at her as if what was there to even laugh at?

“Hi, I am Jason, Dr Jason” Jason forwards his hand with a bright smile.

“Hi, I am Anna D’cuz. Alex’s friend” Anna doesn’t know why she didn’t introduce herself as Alex’s fiance. It was just a peak moment of reaction. Before she could rectify her mistake, Clara came forward.

“Alex’s fiancee” Clara snapped as she could see Anna’s flushed face before Jason. This girl can’t be a match for Alex. But it is not her problem.

Jason pulled the hand back instantly as he stopped his smile. He looked at Alex with some hint of anger and accusations.

“Second marriage?” Jason spoke instantly as he didn’t mind what Anna would think if she was unaware of his first marriage.

“Don’t try too hard. She even knows it’s Clara” Alex replied but with a glare. For some reason, he felt happy when Jason gave him a death glare. This guy hopes for their union. That is cute.

The music in the restaurant suddenly turned on as the fast beats made everyone stand up with their partners to have a dance.

“So finally, I can have a chance?” Jason asked and Alex regretted the moment he found Jason cute. Jason bends like a star to ask Clara for a dance while she is just staring at Alex’s hands which have been locked with Anna’s.

“Should we also?” Anna asked, cutely batting her eyelids. No one can deny this little girl. But Alex was just waiting for Clara’s answer so that he could decide for Anna.

“Of course” Clara took Jason’s hands only to make Alex see how stubborn she is with her decision. He shouldn’t play anymore.

“Why not, Babs” Clara looked wide-eyed when Alex gave a nickname to Anna so soon. But she should really move on if she wants him to marry the girl. Every action made her question her decision. But she didn’t decide for her happiness to back off this easily. It’s for his happiness and she wouldn’t mind getting hurt instead. When did she turn like this?

The love song made the couple dance so happily except for Clara and Alex.

“Why do I feel Anna likes me?” Jason asked as he pulled Clara to have a conversation so that she could hear him admist this loud music.

“She likes Alex. Didn’t you see how she was staring at him? But when she looks at you, it was like the same look which she made for side dishes.” Clara didn’t know that she would be this friendly with Jason ever.

“What if I like to be a side dish?” Jason asked as Clara widened her eyes at him.

“Hey, just joking. Do go beyond imagination.” Jason cut her between as she smiled. Did he just crack some double-meaning jokes with her? Clara is too fresher for such jokes, she will literally shut him off in her life if he dates to speak like that.

“Jokes apart. What is this new drama? Is he already fed up with asking sorry or wanting you back?” Jason asked as she looked at Alex who was hell annoyed with how Jason pulled her closer.

“I don’t know. But I feel that he is angry with something.” Clara could connect the dots but can’t say sure about everything.

“Then let’s show him your anger” Jason whined as Clara looked at his insane friend who has some wicked plans already that might not be a good one for sure.

“Nope. I am not going to do any typical Indian tricks to get back to him.” Clara scoffed as she laughed at Jason’s expressions. These expressions and their happy talks caught Alex’s attention and he needs to get his patience level checked.

“Doll, just have a talk with me” Alina grabbed Clara to a corner as she seemed to be pissed off with everything around them.

“Can you both stop this immature thing?” Alina yelled once she pushed Clara to a seat and sat there all annoyed.

“I will tell him that you are not angry anymore but your mind is acting so stupid that you dont want to be with him.” Alina didn’t ask for permissions as she made up her mind. Clara’s eyes turned dark as if she could connect the remaining dots too for Alex’s actions. Damn that must be the reason.

“What happened?” Alina asked, realising her change of mood.

“I finally could see why his actions contradict drastically.” Clara gasped and Alina still has no clue about what she is talking about?

“With his actions alone, I knew that he must have overheard our conversation” Clara commented as Alina snapped turned towards her..

“Didn’t you see the change?” Clara asked astonishingly. Alina is one smart girl and how can she miss this?

“When I was angry, he was constantly behind me asking for apologies in his way, but I guess he is angry with me as he would have heard my conversation with you.” Clara spoke, scanning Alex whose eyes did not leave her.

“And I am even sure that this is just a drama to vent out his anger. Is he thinking that I would run and hug him if I see him with another girl?” Clara crossed her arms in so much anger. She didn’t like how he expected her to be timid and fragile.

“Seriously?” Now Alina is damn angry with Alex for playing such a dirty game.
