"You are a doctor?"Lucy frowned and said, "Hey, that"s rude!" Aaron chuckled and said, "Okay! Okay! Sorry. It is just that you don"t look or act like a doctor". Lucy raised her eyebrow and said, "How do you expect a doctor to look like then?"
Aaron raised his hands in the air and said, "Nothing! Seriously! I have never seen a doctor..... with such fashion sense and drives such an awesome bike!" Lucy said "Oh..." like she understood what he meant. Then she said with a child like voice, "I love bikes... and being a doctor. It may be a different combination but I like it.
Coming to fashion sense, we have awesome fashion designers at home".
Aaron looked puzzled at the plural tone, creasing his eyebrows. Lucy immediately explained, "My mother and Ria. My mom chose our clothes since childhood, it always amazed others. After my big sis became a teenager she started to choose her own clothes and she did the same for me. She created a style for me since then.
After she left home, I followed it". Aaron listened attentively and nodded. They reached the car and bike by the time Lucy finished. Then they left the place and went to the restaurant. It was around 12 "o" clock in the afternoon.
As they got seated, Aaron asked Lucy to order the food. While they were waiting for the food Aaron remembered something and asked, "Didn"t you say, you were three years younger than Ria?"
She nodded with a smile and said knowing what he meant, "I skipped three years of academics by taking advanced exams. The bike is my gift from my father for that". Aaron arched his eyebrows in surprise and smiled as he said, "That"s awesome". Lucy shrugged her shoulders as if it was nothing.
Eventually the food came and Lucy stopped talking. She focused her thoughts on the food and Aaron lips curled up on how she ate like she is the only one here.
Aaron looked a little uncomfortable and Lucy noticed it but she remained quiet untill he opens his mouth. After a few minutes of silence, Aaron asked, "So, You said that "After Ria left". What happened actually?" Lucy"s lips curled up and thought, "Thats it ah!"
Then she told him the whole story of Ren and Ria. Aaron"s face became more and more pale hearing their story. He was happy for her but at the same time he felt the pain when he heard about the depth of her love for Ren. He even asked himself whether anyone will love him like that.
Lucy stopped eating and picked her phone to dail someone. Aaron looked at her as she was sipping some water.
The voice on the other end said, "h.e.l.lo, Lu?" Lucy"s eyebrows arched up as she said, "Oh! You remember". Ria smiled awkwardly as she cheekily said, "Sorry! Sorry Lu! I totally forgot! Can I get you his number, just check on him". Lucy shook her head and explained about their excursion today.
Ria let out a sigh in relief, "Thanks, Honey. I know I can count you. Seriously, it was really awkward last night. He is a good guy, he might be feeling better now". Lucy felt a bit irritated on knowing that she cared but replied with a "Hmmmm".
After chatting for a while Ria hung up the as she had to check on her kids and Ren. She didn"t speak with Aaron but told Lucy to convey that she wanted to say, "Have fun, Aaron". Lucy also did that. Aaron face showed that gentle smile and Lucy felt irritated again.
She ate a lot than normal, after good food they went to their next destination. They strolled around the beach sand but entered the salt water this time. They played with water for a while. They are 60% drenched now, then roamed the beach while talking and joking.
The more Aaron got to know her, the more felt that Lucy is different than the rest. The people he got to know except his secretary and Ria, every single one of them had taken advantage of the situation. Yet today, Lucy was just giving him an awesome company without any expectations or restrictions. He felt a little bit, only a little bit that this today could go on.
They came to shopping after their clothes became dry. Lucy bought lots of things and Aaron bought whatever she bought. Aaron offered to carry all the shopping bags. But Lucy refused it as they shared it. With lots and lots of shopping bags they left to their next destination.
This Rain forest is a themed restaurant, where the whole arena looks like a forest. It was so peaceful and the food was very good and tasty. As usual Lucy was the one who chose the food but ate this time while talking. They both became best friends like they know each others for years.
Lucy"s phone rang, she lazily picked the phone and looked at the caller ID. Soon her face was filled with a bright smile, Aaron knew this smile. It is the smile she shows when she gets something she likes. He looked at her amusedly as she immediately picked the call on its second ring.
Her gentle, ladylike voice was heard as she said, "h.e.l.lo, Tin. What are you doing?" Aaron"s heart beat raised, he didn"t know what was the reason but he surely felt uncomfortable by the way she talked to person on the phone.
Martin"s face brightened on hearing her cheerful vpice as he said, "Hey beautiful, has your tourguide job over?".
Lucy didn"t notice Aaron"s reactions as she said, "Yep, we are at the last destination". Martin said with a wide smile, "Text me the address I will pick you up, we will go for dinner". Lucy said apologetically, "Oh! But I am having my dinner now and I came by bike".
Martin smiled faded a bit and he didn"t say anything while he thought about an alternative. Lucy"s voice came from the other end, "Tin, if you don"t mind, I can keep you company while you eat and we can take my bike for the ride home while your driver can follow us".
Martin"s smile was restored as he said, "Sounds like a plan, Beautiful". Lucy smiled and replied with a shy, "Hmmmm". Martin smiled more as he hung up. He dropped by his apartment as he changed into comfortable clothes for driving the bike before leaving for the restaurant.
Aaron didn"t ask anything and quiet kept while he ate. Lucy said as she was happy that Tin is coming to get her, "He is Martin Orion, my boyfriend". Aaron smiled while he nodded with his mouth full of food.
