"I am sorry baby, I got late" walking up to her Roaan said and suddenly leaned down kissing her cheek. "Roa-" She spoke out taken aback but stopped mid-sentence, replacing her astonishment with a hesitant smile.
Snaking her arm around his, Helly looked up at him, giving her most beautiful smile.
"You look so beautiful Helly" said Roaan and Helly could see the gospel truth in his eyes.
"You don't look bad either" she complimented back and her eyes started shining with red tint accompanying her cheeks, "Let's go" she said and they both walked in.
Helly went to the reception, her arm still around his, "I booked a table for two this afternoon" she said and the receptionist nodded her head giving her a professional smile, "Yes ma'am. Please come this way" and the lady took them to the addressed table.
Helly pulled out the chair for him and Roaan kissed her forehead before taking his place, "I guess I should get
m
ore angry now" he said and Helly pulled out the chair more playfully, but Roaan got already seated.
"How self centred you are Mr. Regel?" Retorted Helly narrowing her eyes while moved round the table to take her place and both of them broke into a giggle.
As they got seated, the waiter came to them holding two glasses of welcome drink and handed them the menu card.
Saying a word of thanks, Helly and Roaan were busy scanning the menu card when shutter sound accompanied by flashes of light distracted them.
Looking towards the direction of sound, Helly asked clenching her teeth, "Did you call them?" Her eyes again glowing, but this time with rage.
"No baby, why would I..." he said raising his hands. He then leaned in towards her, "... You know I am a star. People follow" he completed making the girl in front roll her eyes.
He moved up from his place and indicated the security to shoo out the reporters.
Giving a sigh of relief, Helly concentrated back on the menu card when Roaan pulled it from her hand, "Aye Foodie.." he called and then held her hand, "...look at me..." he said lovingly and Helly placed a hand on his and looked at him smiling.
"Even after a tiring day you manage to look so beautiful....." he said dreamily.
"Uh...Thank yo-" said Helly when Roaan stopped her inbetween, "hm...Hmm.. Let me complete"
"Oh there's more?" She asked in surprise.
"Yes only for you.." said Roaan and this time confidence dripped from his spoken words.
"Okay..." Helly nodded her head looked at him with interest.
"....Your eyes droopy due to tiredness yet so elegant..." he continued and Helly's eyebrows furrowed a bit, "Eyes.....elegant?"
"Yeah" he responded and Helly nodded her head nonchalantly.
"...Your mind so lost...." hearing him further Helly straightened up immediately, "What!!"
"...Let me complete..." he cluttered on guard and Helly relaxed a bit, but frown still beaming on her forehead.
"....You mind so lost due to the hard work, yet you are so sharp..." he said and looked at his girlfriend intently, who gave back him the same expression, "How is it?" He asked softly when Helly realised it's complete.
