Is It Worth It?

3 Potato Hunt

(Riya's pov)

We sat him on the nearby stool.I was still hella confused. Shocked. Not a word from my mouth. Not a blink. I stared straight. Was I really staring at Edward Wright? That can't be quite true.. Or is it?

"Ahh.. I see you now.Breathe.Remember that yet? Take the air in.. and out.. That's how we sustain our living? " Benk exclaimed with a chuckle.

None of that entered my ears. Obviously .

Edward looked at me slowly trying to open his eyes"Han.So it is you then. You are kind. But - "

What? What did he mean by it is me. Oh he is so fooking drunk now. Isn't he?

"Learn from her Mr. Bar behind the man " he said point to benk in a deep voice.

I chuckled which turned Edward's attention to me.

"Wait.Yet... Ah.. It is you m'lady .. You in disguise as a beautiful young woman.. You can't fool meh! You stole my potatoes! "

I laughed my lungs out. So did Benk as he cleaned the counter. "Oh poor Edward Wright. He's gonna be so embarrassed in the morning. When and who is gonna pick him up? " I asked Benk.

"Oh yeah. His sister Gemma found out he is here. I got a call to the restaurant's landline. She might be here any minute. Embarassed eh? Sure if he remembers any of this. " said Benk , busy arranging bottles and things on the shelf.

Right. He wouldn't remember. Any of this.

"Hmmm.. Mmm.. Hmmm" Harry hummed tapping his ringed finger on the wooden counter table.

I sat beside him. I reached for my phone to text Chris. The rain had slowed,yet I wasn't leaving. I mean it was Edward Wright. beside me, much more talking to me.

"Hiding my potatoes are you?How many of you are out there huh? Don't grade yourself too smart" his knuckles still tapping the table.

I laughed again. He laughed too , louder than me. He called be beautiful first, smart then and now we are laughing. One hell of a night isn't it?

"No Edward. I didn't steal your potatoes and I am not hiding it anywhere."

"U didn't? Ehh.. Uhmm.. Then.. Oh.. Yoa are the one who is going to help me find it.Hello mam. This is Ed--..This is Cutler" he raised his hand to mine.

"Cutler is it? This is Riya" I shaked his hand.

"So mam,about my potatoes, the man staring behind us from behind.. he is my prime suspect"

Great. A potato hunt with Harry in the middle of the night.It is already topping my list of all nights.

"Edward,Sorry.Cutler , I am pretty sure Benk does not steal potatoes for a living. "

"He has been really rude and suspicious"his eyes furrowed while trying to whisper it.

"Mr.Cutler, you will have your potatoes back in the morning" I whispered back.

"That is so kind of you Ms... I believe in your promise and--"

We heard the door open. It was Gemma Wright and probably the other two were the body gaurds.

"Edward what we're you thinkin--..God.I am sorry for this.Benk is it?" said Gemma looking at Benk. I liked Gemma. She always has her class.

"Yes.This is Benk and don't be sorry. He has been quite an entertainment except the falling part. Right Riya? " said Benk looking at me

"Oh.. Nothing to be troubled about.Hi I am Riya Winston" So I am meeting Edward's sister now!

"Hello.Thankyou to both of you" Gemma was cut by Edward's sharp exclaim.

"Gemma! Did you know-"
Drunk Edward is supremacy, I thought to myself.
"Yes Edward I know everything except how you ended up here drunk without any of our knowledge" Gemma rolled her eyes as the other two men in black carried him to the car.

She smiled as she waved at both me and Benk and walked out.

I chuckled to myself. Benk raised his eyebrows "Are you blushing damn it? "

"Oh shut up.No,I am not. Before you say anything else. The rain has stopped.Edward left. Time to go. Bye Benk. "we waved and I left quick. It was nearly 2 am when I finally reached home. Chris and Camille were sound asleep on the couch with a little left over snaks around them. I tried my best not to wake them.

I went in my room and threw myself on my bed. Not quite how I expected my evening to go. But I am definitely not complaining. ' Drunk Edward is another different kind of bean' I thought as I drifted off to sleep.
