"What do you want to order Ashely?"

Why does he have to say my name in a manner that is obnoxious to me???

Why does he have to look into my eyes and stare at me for a moment longer than the eternity, he is making me uncomfortable, I wanted to slap him hard on his face because he was enjoying me, my helpless state,  and what should I say that I cannot a ford even a toast here? most

"A glass of water would be perfect for me," my words were more fragile than my inner self.

"What? Are you sure?"

He purposely asked that when my empty stomach was growling in madness, of course, he knows that I am starving like hell. Still, he doesn't care about anything, he only wants to show the outside world how great a human being he is!

"Yes, definitely," I fake smiled at him and batted my eyelashes.

"Don't do that!"

"Who are you? I will do whatever I want!"

He can not expect me to behave in a certain way, maybe his peanut size brain has lost all the things that's why he cannot comprehend my lifestyle.

"Oh, you want to try me?" His voice was too heavy this time, his eyes were on my lips, and I have no idea why I was looming back at him, as he was the master and I was his slave.

He got up and went to order, I was there to look to adjust in this glorious hotel, to feel the aroma of it, the romantic music started playing from the background, making me feel as I am the luckiest and important woman in this room, however, I know the reality, there is nothing like that, we are only playing our roles and he is paying for me to act in a specific way while he can get all the limelight by himself by being the hero of the country.

He came back and sat, I felt a touch, his touch on the back of my hand that was simply rested on the round table, then out of nowhere he started rubbing his thumb on it as he was indirectly assuring me for something.

I was not looking at him, there was no indication of doing it,

"Mam and sir, here is your order,"

And then I saw the whole table was full of food, all the varieties were there, whether it to be called- Italian, Chinese, English, Indian, and American,"

Is he going to eat all the food alone?? Because at my side there was only a plain glass of water.

And it made my blood boil more and more, and above on that his eyes were on me, a huge smirk was plastered on his face,

"So shall we start?" I heard him say when I was busy ogling the food at his side.

"Bloody jerk!"

"What did you say?"

Shit!

"Nothing, I was just praising the beauty of this hotel, how beautifully it is crafted,"

"Okay, then I am starving, "

His eyes were on me when he mentioned that he is starving and for a moment it made me uncomfortable as he pinched me somewhere where I didn't want to be.

That jerk started eating the food right ahead of my eyes while constantly glaring at me, as noticing even my breathing movement.

Still smiling from his keen eyes he thrust that slice of pizza in his mouth, making my stomach more growling.

"Do you want to say something?"

Yes, I hate you, such a bastard you are!

"Nothing dear, I am absolutely fine," I fake smiled at him while drinking that water, I was dying from inside, I wanted to kill him right at that moment and never wanted to see his face, wish I could stab him with a knife right now!!!

Ughhhh!!!

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention one thing that as the whole country knows I am dating you, therefore the bill is on me, as I am the one who took you out on the date," and with that, he thrust another slice of pizza inside his mouth.

What a bastard he is!

My empty stomach growled again, so I, Ashley Brooke, who is starving since yesterday, decided to eat whatever food we had on the table.

I grabbed the slice of pizza and started eating, the sweet and creamy cheese melted in my mouth, it was truly delicious.

I ate almost all the food one by one without noticing anyone's presence on me, as nothing exist for me, at least at this time when I am starving.

What I forgot was that he was watching me, he was not eating anything, he was just sitting firmly on his seat and watching me, and my mouth was full of food

"Ashley," I heard him saying my name, in the manner which could even melt the ice, so I looked up at him while eating a burger,

"You look beautiful,"

"Why? Thank you very much," and then he kept looking at me while I was enjoying the meal I had in front of me.

***

When we were done, he asked for my hand, the soft music was playing in the background.

"Is it really important to do so? We are alone here?" I stared at him, the question somehow might have intrigued him, because his eyes went wide.

"See Ms Brooke, if we are going to act that we are dating, then we have to know each other well correctly right?"

And with that, he placed his hands on my waist, his eyes were on me and then it shifted to my lips, he licked his lips as he wanted to kiss me at there, however, I looked away, I don't want to get so much involved with him, as I know who he is and what it can cost me, at what moment, besides that, I don't want to be a stupid girl in love, when I hate the idea of love.

"So, let me start first, what's your favourite movie?"

"Pretty woman," without thinking of seconds I blurted it out.

He raised his eyebrows for a second and then again smirked at me.

"Okay, we are going to watch that movie tonight,"

Oh no! This isn't going well! He is very smart, he is playing mind games with me.

"Don't you want to ask the same question to me?"

He uttered, his eyes were dark and deep, deeper than an ocean and for. Second I forgot to even take a breathe while looking at his posture.

"Yours?"

"Same,"

No, no, no. That cannot be possible, he and I share the same taste in movies?

When the music was getting very fast we stopped because I was tired to even walk, my legs were hurting me,

Somehow I managed to get inside the car when he was driving,  I was again looking outside the window, and he was driving, there was silence between us, but it was a comfortable one.

When I found he was not driving to where I live it pinched me, "where are we going?"

"To my penthouse!"

"What? But why? My mother, she needs me!"

"Don't worry the nurse is with her, I already talked with her, she assured me everything is fine and your mother is sleeping, "

Is this is a good idea to go to his penthouse and watch a movie at late night?

What if he tries to do something there?

What will I do then??
