The Billionaire's Lost Lover

Chapter 8

I was speechless and just smiled at him nervously.

He started the car and we drove to the clinic.

After I was done with my physiotherapy the doctor gave me a thumbs up and said I could go for my classes but I should not dance around as I have just recovered.

We thanked the doctor and I don't know for some reason he held my arm in a firm grip, while we walked towards his car.

I knew it would be futile to fight with him as he was looking very determined.

He made me sit inside the car and started driving but after a while, I noticed that we were near the university gate.

I looked at him for answers but he was ignoring me.

I grabbed his arm and shook him violently, urging him to drive me back to my apartment.

"Can you chill for some time; I am just taking you for late lunch, as I was feeling hungry but I am very disappointed in you. You are so ungrateful; you don't want to accompany me for a simple lunch after all I have done for you." He said with sadness in his voice and I was feeling very guilty.

I scribbled on my writing pad and showed it to him.

"You should have asked me, instead of taking me for granted. How was I supposed to react !"

He read it and looked at me smilingly and I could see the smirk on his face.

"Okay, my apologies. I should have asked. So how about a truce for now so that we can enjoy our lunch leisurely as I am taking you to a very good restaurant where you get good Shushi. And I know it's your favourite."

He smiled and focused on his driving.

I was stunned that he knew about my favourite food. Has he investigated me I wondered.

We reached the restaurant and we were shown a table at the far end corner, which had a view of the suburb.

I let him take charge and order for me, as I was really confused about what should I eat. The restaurant was good and cosy. The best hang-out place for couples and it had a lot of corner tables that had their privacy.

I was observing it so minutely that I did not notice that someone was staring at me with interest.

As my eyes turned towards him, I noticed he was looking at me with interest and I grabbed the bottle of water to cool my senses.

Being alone with Harry Williams was equally dangerous as being pushed into a lion's den. And after being kissed so passionately by him, I was nervous.

But somehow gathered my strength and wrote on the pad.

"Harry I am grateful for the way you have taken care of me. I would be happy if I could repay you for your kindness. Please do let me know if I can help you in any way."

He saw it and laughed aloud.

"Do you want to thank me?" He asked me curiously.

And I nodded my head nervously.

He kept quiet for some time and then when the waitress arrived with the food, he said. "Let's eat first, we will talk about it later."

I simply nodded my head and ate my Shushi quietly.

After we were done, I looked at Harry and wondered what was going on in his head but observed that he was busy smiling at me. My eyes went wide and he said.

"You know you look very cute when you look like that but I like your beautiful eyes which you hide behind your glasses."

Harry Williams finds my eyes beautiful. Now that's news.

My head was lowered, so he did not get to see my expression but he continued speaking.

"Ivy I want you to become my girlfriend," Harry said flatly.

I looked at him with a shocked expression for a long time and scribbled on the pad again.

"Why?"

He smiled and said. "Well because like you even I like to stay aloof from people but because of my good looks girls follow me wherever I go and there is so much gossip about me."

"Why me? you can find anyone who would readily volunteer for it." I scribbled with ease.

"You are not like the other butterflies on the campus, you are different and I know if I am linked with you no one would bother me. And someone has already posted in the college forum that I am dating you." He said very sincerely.

I felt bad that he wanted to fend off females, so he was using me but I remembered the kindness that he had bestowed on me, so I decided to help him.

"I have a condition." I wrote on the pad.

"Aha, tell me," he said flatly.

I looked at him with frightened eyes and lied to him. "I need you to stop kissing me, I don't like it."

"What you don't like my kisses but how are we going to prove that we are a couple if we don't kiss." He pointed it out.

He was right, I thought about something and wrote.

"You can kiss me lightly if someone is around but not forcefully."

He nodded his head as if he agreed with what I was saying and smiled at the waitress, who came to collect the bill.

This man is so shameless I thought. But I needed to help him though, as I needed to repay him.

I am grateful to him for everything he has done for me and I will make sure that I repay him by posing as his fake girlfriend honestly I wanted to be close to him as well as I have been crushing over him for a long time but thinking of being closer to him makes me nervous. I can never allow him to see my vulnerable side because I like him way too much.
