HELENA'S POV:

God, I can't believe that he can be so unreasonable. I can't take any risk around him. He was about to spill everything in front of the waiter and I would've died out of embarrassment if he would've done so. I was fast enough go stop him from spilling the beans. And now, I'm walking towards a couple table to have lunch with none other than Mr.Calvin Klein. I can't believe it that I'm doing all this. Only if I had any other option right now.

The waiter took us to the corner where a table was beautifully decorated clearly for a couple. I wish I was here with Andrew but here I'm stuck with this irritating human. The table was covered with blood red table cloth and had a vase of red roses in the centre of the table. He pulled out a chair for me and I sat without speaking anything cause I can't take any risk. He sat at the other chair opposite to me.

The waiter left after taking order from him. He asked me if I wanted to add anything but I just wanted to end this as soon as possible and go back to my room so I didn't add anything. "So, let's see what will be our deal after today's lunch." He said pulling sleeves of his coat a bit up. I just gave a fake smile pulling my lips poles apart and said nothing much.

"Well your behaviour will also play an important role to settle our deal you know. I guess a hint is enough for an intelligent person." He said drinking wine from his glass. I was trying to avoid any kind of conversation with him so I picked up my own glass of wine and started drinking it.

After ten long minutes, the waiter finally came with food. He placed three different dishes on the table and left after bowing. Mr. Calvin Klein opened the lid of every single dish and the aroma of food made my mouth water. Mushroom risotto, Focaccia bread and Bruschetta. Oh wow, this lunch isn't that bad as well. So what the person in front of me is irritating? The food seems to be really delicious.

He took the dish on his hand and served me one by one first. Okay, he's behaving like a gentleman. Not bad not bad. I started digging into the food as soon as he finished serving me. I must say, the food is really amazing. I shall never forget every single bite of the food today. "You must have jumped upon my cookies and pies in the same way, isn't it?"

As he said that, my eyes fell upon his plate. He had rarely eaten two to three bites where as my plate was half emptied already. He was giving a mischievous smile to me and I was embarrassed as hell. I started eating slowly with my head hung low cause I could feel my cheeks turning red due to embarrassment.

I didn't speak anything during the whole lunch and neither did he. Once we were done with food, I was about to stand up when a waiter came to us. He placed the bill on the table and I was about to pay for it but to my surprise, Mr. Calvin Klein paid the money. I was looking at him for explaining what was going on but he didn't even look once at me.

"Sir, we have a special offer for you both that actually comes along when you book these kinds of table. We capture your moments and give it to you so that you'll always remember it." Saying so, he took out an instax camera. "Photo please." The waiter said smiling. I was about to say no but then, "Of course, we'd love to." He cut me off in between and hinted me to cooperate with this eyes. God, I so badly wanted to shout no and walk away but how can I?

"Say cheese." As the waiter said that, he gave a smile. Oh wow, I never noticed that but I must say, he... has a beautiful smile. "Do you want him to click our photo while you're gawking at me?" He said still looking towards the camera bringing me out of my thoughts. I instantly looked towards the camera and gave a smile. I don't know why, but I genuinely smiled this time. The waiter came towards us and handed him two photographs and walked away after taking the bill.

We both stood up and started walking towards our respective rooms. "So now, we have deal of eighty percent." He said as we reached in front of our rooms. "But I didn't pay today. It was you who paid the money." I said clearly stating my point of view. "Well I told you, even your behaviour determines the deal between us and you behaved quite well today. So, see you again in the evening for the rest of the deal miss thief." He said giving a beautiful smile to me. I really don't understand this human at all.

I was about to go towards my room when his words stopped me. "Ms. thief." As I turned around, he handed me one of the photograph and said, "Keep this one with you. You never know if we'll ever meet after this journey. So, this will be a memory." I don't know why but I felt a bit of sadness as he said that. Maybe I had forgotten that we're just here till we go back in our own paths. I took the photograph from his hand and walked back to my room and so did he.

I laid on my bed as I had a happy tummy but as I closed my eyes, his face flashed in front of my eyes. Unconsciously, my hands pulled out the photograph from the side table and I was looking at our photo. I can't believe that I'm looking at my photograph with a stranger. Sometimes I really wonder, why do we even meet people who aren't going to be in your life forever?
