Chapter 9

The next morning Zee texted Saint and asked him to meet him at the lobby. He wanted to go pick up Saint but he didn't know where Saint lived. Zee didn't want Saint to wait but more than that he was restless, he wanted to see Saint again, he couldn't stop dreaming about Saint all night so he was outside Hotel de Crillon and was waiting for Saint on the pavement.

Saint arrived and walked towards Zee. "Hai..." Saint waved cheerfully and Zee was left dumbfounded when he saw Saint. He couldn't stop thinking about how a man can make himself look so adorable and so handsome at the same time. Saint wore casual blue jeans with white sneakers and a white T-shirt and a sky blue shirt over that. Whereas Zee was wearing an US Polo assn white shirt with black strips and as usual the few buttons from the top were unbuttoned, a Buck mason slim fit ankle length pants and a US Polo assn semi casual shoes. One could easily tell that Zee's clothes were worth at least 7,000 euros while what Saint wore was not anywhere as close to that, but the smile Saint wore on his face was priceless.

"Zee... I said hai" Saint snapped Zee out of his trance.

"Oh, sorry... Hai" Zee replied

"Am I late?"

"No... Not really?"

"Then what are you doing down here? I thought we were meeting in the lobby"

"Haha, yes... That... I... Yes... I got a call and I came out because there was no signal so I came out"

"Okay then come on let's go"

"Wait, I'll ask the valet to get my car"

"Car?"

"Yes... That's how we are going right?"

"No no... We are going by train"

"Train? You mean Paris mètro as in the subway train?"

"Yess"

"I... I have never traveled through subway before"

"Well there is always a first time for everything" Saint said and he pulled Zee's hand and led him towards the station. Saint was too happy and excited that Zee was spending time with him, he just felt comfortable around Zee and he just behaved naturally like how he is at home, when Saint held Zee's wrist he felt nothing but happy as Zee did not pull away or show any signs of discomfort but in fact there was crackers bursting in Zee's body because of Saint's touch.

They walked to the station and reached in like two minutes, Saint bought the tickets and led Zee to the platform. Zee was so surprised at this point that Saint was breaking all the rules, Zee will always be the one to pay for everything and take his dates everywhere but Saint was changing all of that. The train arrived and the doors were opened and without hesitating Saint pulled Zee in. The train was pretty empty with only around seven or eight people in the compartment, they sat next to each other and Saint couldn't stop talking about the history of the flea market they were going to and how cool that place is.

They reached Porte de Clignancourt and walked up to arrive at the streets. They walked in the direction which Saint took and Zee just followed, Zee was so amused with Saint, he never knew that this boy could talk so much but in reality Saint couldn't keep his mouth shut for even a minute, yet Zee wasn't complaining he was enjoying Saint's company.

They reached an overpass but Saint informed them that they had to walk under it to reach the flea market.

"Do we really have to go in there?" Zee asked as the place looked a little sketchy, it was dark and a few homeless people were sleeping on the pavement.
