Chapter 12 - Sunday 1pm


“Goaaaal” Varun roared. “That’s four nil dude, what’s wrong with you?”

Raj stood up from the sofa, walked over to the console and switched it off. “I’ve got to get dressed for my date.” Raj walked back to the armchair, lowered himself in, leaned back and sighed. “Dude, I’m going to sound like a girl, and I need you not to judge me right now… but what do I wear?”

Varun laughed out loud. “Dress like you usually do, any one of your neon tops with linens will do!”

“What if she finds it too garish… I don’t want to turn her off.”

“Dude, you must really like this girl. I’ve been trying to get you to tone it down for eight years now, and she’s got you rethinking your wardrobe choices after eight minutes!”

“Stop making smart comments and start making useful suggestions.” Raj got up and started walking toward the chest of drawers. He opened the first draw pulled out a white linen shirt, unfolded it and waved it at Varun “Is this any good?”

“Wear it with some jeans… you’ll boil though, It looks baking outside.” The sun seemed to be blazing outside, with a light breeze that picked up every so often.

“I’m going to have to power through it, because I’m not wearing a traditional outfit and i don’t think she’s ready to see me in shorts!”

“Agreed” chuckled Varun as he made his way to the TV to switch the game that he was playing back on. “You really like her don't you?”

Raj pulled some jeans out of the cabinet, and began unfolding them “In all honesty, I really do. I didn't think I would!” Raj exhaled loudly, “I don't know why my mums gone the other way, she was so eager, now she's completely against this whole thing…”

Varun looked up from his game “She’s probably just concerned that you’re getting in too deep, too quickly.” he paused his game and turned all his attention to his friend “You know your mum’s over protective of you. Don't stress about it. See how today goes, you may come back and decide Miss India isn't for you.”

“You’re right. Thanks bro.” Raj grabbed a pair of fresh underwear and made his way to the bathroom to change while Varun resumed his game.
