One day, it was an usual work day for Liz and she was done with her work late at night, she headed towards the exit to leave for her hostel. William who was done with his work had an urge to meet her once and therefore he was waiting for her at the reception, everyone has to pass this area before exiting so he chose this place.

Finally after an hour he saw Liz who was about to leave, he quickly approached her and was right behind.

​​

"Hey" he greeted her.

She didn't realize he was talking to her, so she ignored it and continued heading out the building.

"Hey Elizabeth." he again called.

"Yes?" she turned around in reflex.

"It is really late at night, I am sure you didn't have your dinner yet, want to grab a bite?" William asked with one hand of his tucked in his pants pocket, he looked charming and confident.

"No" Liz remained unaffected and turned around to head out, she remembered him as the 'rude guy' and her opinion of his never changed in this one month as they never interacted with each other ever.

William was surprised by her response and instead of getting annoyed he chuckled at her indifferent rejection.

"May I know why?" he asked after chasing her and since she was not very far away he easily caught up with her.

"I don't like having dinner with rude people." Liz answered not even bothering to look at him, she was walking straight on the road and was heading towards the women's hostel she rented a room in, her hostel was closeby to the corporate office so she walked to office everyday and didn't use any public transport.

"Woah, what rude people, are you saying I am rude?" William sounded very offended.

"Yes"

"Don't you think you judge people way too soon?" William got annoyed.

"Yes I do"

"It is not something to be proud of"

"Okay"

William got annoyed with her short replies to his long questions, no one ever treated him this way and he reflexively held her wrist and turned her to face him, "What is with your attitude? Can't you talk properly?"

Liz sighed and looked at his hand which was still holding her wrist, "Let go" she glared at him.

He realised he shouldn't have crossed the line, he immediately let go of her wrist and apologized, "I am sorry I didn't mean to… I am really sorry." He didn't find it right giving an excuse for his behaviour so he again apologized.

"Oh so you know how to apologize" Liz taunted him and again started heading towards her hostel.

"What do you mean by that? Did I ever offend you in any way?" William questioned her as he continued walking with her.

Liz was tired of his pestering, she stopped walking and faced him, "What is your problem?"

"I want to have dinner with you?"

"Why?"

"I find you interesting, I want to spend more time with you" William frankly said.

"So, after you spend more time with me and you start finding me less interesting, will you stop bothering me?" Liz folded her hands in front of her chest and asked looking straight into his eyes.

He stood at the same place but leaned his face closer to hers and said, "I think after spending more time with you, I'll fall head over heels for you." William cheekily smiled, he himself was shocked with the bold words he blurted out but when she folded her hands and looked at him with a serious expression he found her very cute and wanted to continue looking at her.

She scoffed at his words, she was an unromantic person and such cheesy words have no effect on her, "I don't have time to waste on playboys like you." she again started walking.

William laughed and kept walking with her, "See, you are again judging me."

She ignored him and they soon reached her hostel, without bothering to even say goodbye to him she left. William shook his head and thought what a tough woman she is, he had a smile on his face thinking about her attitude, then he left and headed back to the office as his car was parked there. After he left, checking from her window Liz went and bought food for herself.

The interaction between these two was the same for the next few days, every time Will asks her out and she ignores him. But one day Will did something unexpected.

Liz exited the office and Will was again trying to initiate a conversation with her and again she was ignoring him, on that day Liz was damn hungry so she went towards a hot-dog stall that was on the way, she ordered one hot-dog for herself, her plan was to order food from this stall, then have dinner in her hostel room.

The aroma at the stall was good so William too ordered a hot-dog for himself, "This is my first time having street food." he informed her.

She didn't show any interest in this new found information.

"So, are these hot-dogs tasty?" He again asked her as he wanted some reaction from her and she again ignored him.

He tried to talk about a few random topics and she continued avoiding him then he took it as a challenge to get a reaction from her, it has been a few days and her attitude was diminishing his patience.

He then for the first time saw her longing look at something, he followed her gaze and saw the hot-dog the seller was serving to other customers, for the first time she looked very cute unlike her angry indifferent self, for a moment he was jealous of the hot-dog as she never looked at him the way she was currently looking at that hot-dog, he was so jealous of that hot-dog that he suddenly leaned closer to her and slowly whispered in her ears, his voice was so low that it was only audible to the two of them, "Since you like hot-dogs so much I suggest you should taste the long and juicy hot-dog I have, your mouth will surely love the taste of it."

Liz did not understand the meaning of his words and looked at him in confusion, he then signaled her to look down and when she did he pointed towards his little brother.

Liz's eyes widened in shock and she angrily glared at him, "Pervert".

"My hot-dog even gives out cheese if you satisfy it well" he loved her reaction and continued more.

She was completely speechless and was not sure how to respond and continued staring at him, the seller's voice interrupted her stare, he informed that her hot-dog was ready, she quickly collected her parcel and left from there in anger.

William laughed seeing her reaction and chuckled at himself, he didn't know he had such a perverted side to him, he thought 'I finally got a reaction, this much teasing is enough for today." Then he too collected his parcel and left for his home.

Liz hurriedly went to her hostel and after settling in her room she tried to calm down her fast beating heart, she was glad he didn't continue following her, if he again followed her after saying those perverted words she would have definitely kicked him in the groin.

Then Liz took out the hot-dog to eat but when she looked at it she remembered his words, 'that idiot ruined hot-dogs for me' sighing in annoyance she again packed the hot-dog and gave it away to one of her hostel mates, she made other food for herself in the common kitchen and ate that for dinner.

…

"What the hell?" Rachel shouted at Catherine.

Catherine laughed loudly, "I know right, I couldn't believe Will was so bold."

"Bold? My dad was a pervert. Oh god why would you tell me this?" Rachel was so embarrassed, she wanted to hide somewhere.

"Sorry sweetie but I didn't want anything to hide from you so I told you all the details but don't worry I'll cut the part of their intimate moments."

"Yes, please do that, I can't believe you just ruined hot-dogs for me, now I can never eat them." Rachel blushed and put both her hands on her eyes.

"Oh god Rachel, you are an adult now"

"Yeah but they were my parents"

"Sorry sorry, I'll be careful from the next time by the way your father too ruined hot-dogs for Liz, after that incident whenever she saw a hot-dog she used to blush and avoid eating it, that's when I got to know this story" Catherine smiled recollecting her old memories.

Rachel held Catherine's hand emotionally, "You must miss them so much right?"

"At every moment of my life, I missed their presence, I am glad they at least got to meet Danny and Jimmy"

"Hmm true, also auntie you can tell me about their first kiss, don't skip it I won't mind that.", Rachel felt shy sharing her thoughts.

"Sure dear, but wasn't your dad amazing?"

"Perverted he was"

Catherine laughed and continued the story.
