¿Sugar Candy?

Chapter 1

That stupid stupid tum and his stupid mouth. No I'm the biggest idiot, you stupid stupid Gun why did you even agree to this. Should have told the truth to the others and let that idiot face Drew all on his own.
I've been waiting for my blind date to show up for past 30 minutes and I think I should accept the fact that I've been stood up by my date.
I'm going to kill that idiot. How does he even find people like him everywhere with no sense of punctuality what so ever.
I was so deep into my thoughts that I didn't notice when someone dropped in the seat infront of me.
"Are you Mr. Sugar daddy?" The strangers voice pulled me out of my thoughts.
Is he the one Tum picked for me? If he is then he's not as much of an idiot as I thought him to be. The boy was ...breathtaking. He was better looking than all of my friends and their girls combined. Drew is gonna be so jealous. At last Tum did one right thing in his life.
I was probably staring at him super hard because his expressions turned super bitter and his feets started tapping in the floor impatiently.
"Yes I am and I assume Tum sent you here?" He looked puzzled at my question but he schooled his expressions soo and replied in a hurried tone. "Yes! Yes Tum sent me here."
"I'm Gunnapat and what's your name if you don't mind me asking." I thrusted my hand in front of him to introduce myself, a habit I'd developed after years of introducing myself to businessperson. He looked at my hand and then at me for a little longer than I would have appreciated but he did slipped his hand in mine and God was it soft.
"I'm krist." Krist his name suits him I can't explain in words but it's like his name is just made for him.

I called over the waiter who was eyeing me up and down for past half hour.
"I would like a black coffee and what would you like krist?"
"One strawberry frappe for me. Thank you."
Strawberry frappe? That just sound awful and I think he that on my face. "Any problem?" He's quite blunt isn't he. "No not at all it's just an unusual drink choice that's all." He gave me a pretty taunting smile.
"You're quite judgemental."
"No I'm not." I tried but he didn't look convinced so I simply changed the topic.
"So krist I'm sure my friend must have told you about the details." His expressions turned serious. "What details?" So that idiot just blindly threw this boy into this without giving him any heads up.
"You're to play the role of my sugar baby for next couple of months. I'm not looking for anything serious so no sleeping together or anything of that sorts is required. The most you will have to do is hold hands and kiss me in front of my friends." I paused giving him time to speak up if he has issues with whatever I had said. "But don't worry I will take care of your financial needs. You will be paid for all of your services, the dates on which you will accompany me and the shopping you would be asked to do. Does that sound ok to you?" By the time i had finished talking he had an unreadable expressions on his face he kept slurping on his pink concoction testing my patience.
"Yeah that sounds cool to me." Thank God.

"Great so shall we set up your account for the allowance." He squirmed in his seat. " umm I don't think we need to do that. It's a temporary setting so I don't want to give you my personal information how about you pay me in cash?" Though what he said does make sense but I can't help but get suspicious of him. Is he planning on scamming me. Paying in cash means no proof of transaction he might lie and say I didn't pay him and demand for me. "Sorry krist but I need to keep a proof in case you have a change of heart later on." I can see on his face that he didn't like that I was skeptical of him but I don't care I'm not gonna let myself become a fool at some kid's hand.

"Alright you can pay me through cheque." That I can do and there are less chances of fraud that way. "Sounds good to me."
"Can you meet me at paragon mall on this Saturday evening?" He opened his phone and looked through something, his calendar I presume. "Yeah sure but for what?"
"We are going shopping." And with that our first date came to an end.

♤♤♤♤♤♤

We were sitting in a cosy little restaurant to charge up our energy before going for a shopping haul and just like the last time he was 20 minute late to arrive.
Currently he was chewing on his chicken steak like a days old starved man. Chicken steak more like a dried up piece of white meat. How does this meat even passed as steak? His food choice is just as pathetic as his drinks. I would have ended things with him when he snorted at me for ordering a medium rare sirloin steak, if his looks weren't a promised blow to Gaston's ego.
"You don't like veggies do you?" I asked him after seeing him fork around those poor little broccolis and asparagus sticks.
"Yeah they're just ruining the taste of this beautiful steak." I couldn't help but laugh at his words. "If anything those veggies will enhance the taste of that block of blandness."
