" Do you think that I will leave you here alone petite fille ?" ( Baby girl)

He said.

" Huh? "

I asked, being puzzled. What did he say at the end?

" Nothing. You are coming with me Isabel. "

He declared. Though he said that Normally but I could feel the underlying authority in it but still I decided to turn off the offer, I really don't want to trouble him.

" But Mr Khan… "

I tried to speak but he didn't let me complete.

" No buts. I am not a Jerk who will leave you alone in this empty school. And what are gonna do after I leave?! You don't even have your phone with you!! "

He said and I could sense a little annoyance in his tone.

" I know, but I don't want to trouble you Mr Khan. You must be having  a bundle of  work to do and here I am already wasting your time. If you really want to help then, can you please just book an Uber for me. I will be really grateful to you Mr Khan."

I said nervously gazing down at my feet.

" Don't you trust me? "

Immediately lifting my head up, I looked at him. His eyes reflected hurt.  Damn! I Fucked it up! Ugh! How can I hurt someone like him! Who was just trying to help me?!! He is hurt now! Because of me!! Why do I end up messing everything always?!

" No! No! It's not that! It's not what you are thinking! I obviously trust you! "

I said while smiling nervously. He glanced at me and passed a sad smile.

" You really don't have to lie, Ms Williams. I can totally understand. You just can't take a lift from someone whom you just met, you know. I am a complete stranger to you. Anyways, I would have sent one of my car's to drop you but I know you can't trust me with that too. So, I am gonna book a Cab for you."

He sighed and took out his phone from his pocket, but before he could open it, I held his hand.

" No Mr Khan! Please! I TRUST YOU MR KHAN! I REALLY DO! I know that we met today itself but it doesn't matter! I trust you! It's just that I didn't want to waste your time! I didn't want to trouble you "

I said, looking into his attractive eye's with my hands still on his wrist.

" You are anything but a trouble to me Isabel! And right this moment, nothing is more important than you to me! "

He stated, looking straight into my eyes, and I could see nothing but truth in them.

" Anyways, I am booking a cab for you coz, all I care for now , is your safety. "

He said while removing my hand from his wrist gently. I could clearly feel the hurt in his actions.

" No Mr Khan! I don't want you to book a cab! I don't want to go alone! I want you to come with me! So, will you please drop me home, Mr Khan? Pleaseeee???? "

I made one of the cutest puppy face as I stood in front of him and holding his hands, I waited for his answer. I hope this works! This has always worked on my parents. Whenever I want them to agree on something, I make a cute puppy face and they end up agreeing always. Last time I did this was,  When, I wanted to go to the summer camp back in 2016. Mum and dad were really reluctant. They didn't want me to go there but I convinced them at last. Well, after that I really didn't need to convince them hard on something. My parents give me whatever I ask them. They never disagree unless I ask for something which is irrational.

Well, I felt my heart doing summersaults as he gave me his Charming smile and his eyes shined this time. That means, my trick worked!

" I will drop you but only if you agree to my condition. "

He said and crossed his arms. I shrugged and furrowed my brows being puzzled. What does he mean by condition?!

" What condition Mr Khan? "

I asked in confusion and he smirked.

" I will drop you home only if you stop calling me Mr Khan! You will call me Saheer! Nor Sir, Neither Mr Khan! Did you get that!??"

He asked playfully and winked at me. I giggled and tried to hide my blush. I know my cheeks must have turned pink by now.

" Fine Mr Khan! Oops Sorry! I mean Saheer! "

I said and chuckled.

" Ok then, just wait a Minute Ms Isabel. "

He  said and smiled.

" As you say Mr Saheer. "

I said and we both laughed. I waited patiently as he called someone.

" Get the cars ready, Sebastian. "

He said, actually ordered. I was quite shocked at the drastic change in his attitude. His body language changed completely as he talked to the other person on call. He talked with dominance. It seemed as if he was a completely different person.

I was still looking at him with awe when he disconnected the call. He raised his eyebrows at me as he saw me staring at him.

" Wanna ask Something? " 

He asked.

" No, it's nothing. "

I shrugged.

" If you say so. "

He said and smiled. The next second I saw sleek black SUVs lining up in front of us. I was wonderstruck as I saw men in black suits coming out of them, they seemed like bodyguards, one of them who had a quite different attitude from all of them Walked towards us.

"The cars are ready, boss. " 

He said addressing Saheer to which he nodded and then looked at me.

" So, shall we? "

He asked while extending his hand. Slowly resting my hand on his, I nodded with a smile on my lips. He took me to the Only black Ferrari present among the SUVs and opened the door for me. I smiled nervously at him as I sat inside carefully, making sure to not cause any kind of damage to the car. The fact that he is so down  to earth and such a gentleman after having so much of money really amazes me. I couldn't move away my eyes from him as he closed the door and walked to the other side. He sat next to me while I was still admiring him.

" Thank you Saheer. "

I said while unknowingly resting my hand on his.

" You don't have to Thank me. "

He said as his eyes locked with mine while he closed the door.

" No. I owe you one. I know, being at such a great position, you must be having such a tough schedule but here you are spending your time on me. I can't Thank you enough for this. "

I said genuinely.

" You know what? I really don't like you thanking me. Coz I wanted to spend my time with you. My work can wait. But, if  you really want to thank me then, I want you to have a coffee with me. "

He said, smirking playfully. I stared at him with wide eyes as my hand covered my mouth. He wants to have coffee with ME?!

" You want to have coffee with me??"

I asked in disbelief. I mean, The Billionaire! Mr Saheer Khan! Want's to have coffee with me?! Wowww!

" Yes of course I do. And, I would be really happy if you accept my request. "

He said and all I did was, adore him.

'' ok fine! But this treat would be from my side! And I am gonna choose the place! "

I declared and he chuckled.

" Do you really think that I would let you pay for our first da… "

He paused. Was he going to say Date?! No! Why will he say so?! It was just a slip of tongue! Nothing else! Stop overthinking Isabel!

" I will pay for us. That's it. "

He said and I furrowed my eyebrows at him.

'' No Saheer! I am the one who is gonna pay! And this will be my small attempt of thanking you! And if you don't agree then… then.. uh.. yeah! Then, I will go home alone! "

I said and crossed my arms while smirking. 

" Oh really? "

He raised his eyebrows and asked.

" Yes!"

I replied with a sweet but fake smile on.

" Fine then, you won, muffin. I am all yours now. Take me, where ever, you want To. "

He said as he leaned forward and winked. I felt my heart thumping hard against my chest as I felt heat on my cheeks. I felt myself drowning in his magical eyes as he moved away.

" Tell me, where do you want to take me? "

He asked and I felt the car engine start. Shit! What am I supposed to tell him now!!?! I just shifted here a day before and I know nothing about Chicago yet. Damn! Oh god! 

" Um… Saheer, actually I am new here, so, I don't know much about the place but I clearly remember watching a cozy cafe, which is present on the way from my home to school. I was quite attracted to it when I first saw it, so, shall we go there? And it will save our time too! As it will fall on our way to my home. "

Just when I thought that, I was going to mess it up, I remembered about spotting that small cozy cafe which I had seen yesterday while coming to school. It seemed quite good to me and I was even thinking to visit it with Mom. Well, I won't mind going there with this hottie as well. 

" Are you thinking about me Ms Williams? "

My eyes widened and I gasped. How did he know?!

" Huh? "

I asked, confused and shocked. He smiled mischievously.

" You are smiling from the past five minutes while staring outside, and I can clearly see those pink rosy cheeks of yours. And there's no one here who can make you blush except of me. "

He said and I pouted while crossing my arms.

" I wasn't blushing at allll! "

I said, trying hard not to smile.

" if you say so. "

He said, smiling smugly, clearly catching my lie. I avoided any kind of eye contact with him, trying to hide my embarrassment. When I gazed out, I saw all of those SUVs guarding the Ferrari, some of them at the front and some of them behind.

" Can you please stop in front of that Cafe?  "

I asked the driver as my eyes fell on the cafe. As if, the driver gave some kind of signal to all of the other cars, they started lining up in front of that Cafe. 

" This? "

I heard Saheer ask as pointed at the cafe. I was quite taken aback. I should have thought that a person, so rich as him would have never imagined to spend even a second here.

" I know you wont like this place, you always visit the expensive restaurants but trust me! I will try my best to make you comfortable. I am really sorry Saheer but this is  what I can afford."I said, looking down.

" Hey! Look at me. " 

I heard him say as he came near and cupped my face.

" You know what? I am in love with this place already. Ask me why? "

He said as I looked at him trying to search answers in his eyes.

" Why? "

I finally asked.

" Coz I have such a sweet girl as my companion. "

He said while caressing my cheeks with his fingers. I gave him a big smile and held his hand.

"  So, what are we waiting for? Let's go. "

He said as he got out of the car and then coming to my side, he opened the door for me and extended his hand, holding his hand, I got out of the car and we both Walked inside the cafe. To my surprise, there was not a single customer present there. That man, whose name is probably Sebastian was standing there alone. Where are those bodyguards by the way?! I felt Saheer giving  some kind of instructions through his eyes to which he nodded and walked out.

" What happened Isabel? " I heard Saheer say when I was looking at Sebastian with confusion.

"Um.. it's nothing. I was just searching for a good place to sit."

I said while roaming my eyes, searching for a good place to sit.

" Let's sit there!" 

I squeal in excitement as I saw a small but really pretty corner with beautiful flowers around. Unknowingly holding his hand, I literally dragged him there but I didn't feel like leaving him, so I followed the direction of my heart and sat there, still  having his hands in mine.

" What would you like to have? "

I asked Saheer who was smiling at me.

" I will have the same thing, you are gonna have. "

He said grinning

" Ok fine. " I chuckled. In the next moment, I saw the The waiter coming with the menu card. I ordered two cappuccino with Oreo filled chocolate brownies and strawberry cookies for both of us.

" So, why do you have so many bodyguards Saheer? "

I asked curiously after the waiter went away after taking the order.

" Um well, I have to save myself from paparazzi you know? I really don't want them to invade my personal space. " 

He said while leaning towards me.

" Jeezzz it must be irritating to be followed by people ready to snap pictures of you and showing it to the whole world. "

I said and he sighed.

" Um, that Guy, I guess his name is Sebastian? Who's he? "

I asked.

" He is my right hand Isabel. He is the one, who handles everything of mine. He is the one, whom I trust the most with my work. Moreover, He knows everything about me, he is like a close friend. I met him ten years ago, and he is still with me."

He said.

"  You are really lucky to have a friend like him. "

I said with a smile and he nodded. We both were busy talking, when our order arrived. I thanked the waiter and closed my eyes as the delicious smell of the cookies crept inside my nose.

" These cookies are looking so cute,

 isn't it?"

I asked while holding the pink strawberry cookie in my hand.

" Just like the young lady sitting in front of me. "

I went all red as I heard him saying.

I felt the time flying as we had our food. The waiter came with the bill and I paid the money. Thanking the waiter, I got up while putting back my purse inside the bag.

" So, did you like the Food? "

I asked Saheer who stood up.

" I can't wait to visit this place again with you. "

He said and locked his hands with mine. I smiled happily as I nodded and we both Walked out of the cafe. He made me sit inside his car which was standing Just in front of the entrance of the cafe, and then sat down beside me. 

He asked the driver to drive and in a blink, we were in front of my home. 15 mins felt like a second with him!! What the hell! 

" That's my home. "

I Said pointing at my house and Saheer asked the driver to stop the car.

" So, here we are. Thank you for spending your time with me. I loved the time we spent, Isabel. "

I looked at Saheer, who leaned towards me and held my hand. 

" Saheer… "

I murmured  as a sudden thought of him leaving Chicago crept inside me.

" Yes muffin? "

He asked while tucking a lone hair strand behind my ear.

" You are not leaving Chicago any time soon, are you?''

I asked as my grip tightened on his hand.

" I will stay only if you want me to. "

He said as he caressed my cheek.

" I want you to stay Saheer! I want to spend time with you every day! Please don't go. "

I requested as my breathing quickened. I don't know what I am doing or saying, it's just that, the thought of him going away is horrifying to me. I know this will surely seem really Weird to him, as we just met each other but I can't fight against my heart. I don't regret saying that, I want him to stay. I genuinely want to stay here.

" Your wish, my command. "

He said and then all of sudden I felt his lips on my forehead. I felt as if the time stopped as I closed my eyes. 

" See you soon Muffin. "

I heard him whisper as I opened my eyes. I heard the door of my side opening, I turned to find Sebastian, who was standing out holding the door. I felt, Saheer looking at me while I got out. 

" Good bye. " I murmured. And then thanking Sebastian, I walked as fast as I could towards my home without looking back again.

Opening the door with the key, I rushed inside and slammed it shut.

I sighed as I felt pin drop silence in the house. Mom and dad are still not back and I can't even contact them!! Ugh!! I could have asked Saheer to give his phone to me! I could have called them! Damn!!! I wish I got this idea back when I was with him! Now there's no way! 

They must be so tensed! They surely have called me! How will they know that their careless daughter has dropped her phone inside a drain?!!!

Letting out a sigh of frustration, I lazily walked up to my room and got inside. Slamming it shut, I threw my bag on the chair and unzipped my jeans as I sat on the bed. Pulling it out of my legs, I got rid of my shirt. Standing up, I threw off my bra. Believe me, it's the most relaxing feeling ever. 

I went to my closet and took out a pair of pjs and shoved the tee down my head. Pulling up my shorts, I walked to my dressing table and tied my hairs in a messy bun. I took my bag to grab my phone when I remembered that it's not with me anymore. Damn, I am Missing it already. 

Throwing the bag in frustration, I grabbed my laptop and sat on my bed. Covering myself with the duvet, I kept some pillows behind me and leaned comfortably. I opened my laptop, I think Netflix is the only way to lighten up my mood. Not only losing my phone but Getting away From Saheer is making me sad as well. My luck is so bad, that I couldn't even take his number. I wish my phone was with me, we could have exchanged our numbers.

Ugh but why would he give his number to me?!!! I am no one! Absolutely no one! It's just that, he is a gem of a person, who treated me so well. And I think, that he will leave Chicago soon, he must've said that he won't go, just to see me happy. That's it.

Brushing off, his thoughts, which were making me feel really sad, I opened my laptop and was surprised to see an Email notification. It was from dad.  Quickly opening it, I got shocked. What the Actual fuck is going on?!! It said that, they tried to call me but as my phone was switched off, they sent an email telling, they aren't done with their work yet so, they will come TOMORROW! 

How can they do this to me?!! Ahahhh! This is not at all done!!! How will I spend my night in this house alone?! I DON'T EVEN HAVE MY PHONE WITH ME!! They have never done anything like this before! Why are they doing this?! 

I closed my laptop  and kept it aside as I laid down completely on the bed, covering my face with the duvet.  They know that I am afraid of staying alone at night, but still they did this. Ugh. I will have to sleep with lights on today. I will have to prepare the dinner too! I can't order anything, as I have spent all the money they left for me. 

Thank god, tomorrow, it's Saturday, the school is closed or else, walking to school would have been the only option left for me. 

I yawned as my eyelids got heavier and I let the darkness engulf me.

*****

My eyes slowly opened as I  snuggled into my pillow. Gently sitting up, I stretched out my arms and noticed the time. It's 8 pm. Perfect time to cook the dinner.

"Come on, move your lazy ass and prepare your dinner bel! "

I encouraged myself while getting up. Switching on the lights of my room as well as the corridor and the staircase, I walked down to the kitchen. Lightening it up, I started thinking about what to cook. Um, I think chop suey will be good.

For the next one hour, I was busy, preparing the chop suey and when it got ready, I smiled with all my heart. The delicious smell made me feel really very hungry. Serving it in a Bowl and taking a glass with me, I walked up to my room. 

I will have my dinner with Lucifer today. I giggled at my funny thoughts as I placed the laptop in front of me and started watching Lucifer on Netflix, while stuffing the yummy chop suey inside my mouth.

*******

I woke up with difficulty as the sun rays entered my room through the gap of the curtains. Rubbing my eyes, I let out a yawn as I turned to grab my phone to see the time. My eyes flashed open as I couldn't find my phone on the side table. Hurriedly sitting up, I only saw my small alarm clock and then I remembered the tragic loss of my phone. What a beautiful morning damn it!! 

I glanced at my room light, which was still on and then crawled up to the switchboard which is near the bed, I jerked off as I felt my hand landing on Something hard. 

My eyes widened as I saw a iphone box kept beside my pillow. 

" Oh My goodness! "

I said while picking it up. what the fuck?! What on earth is this doing here?! Who on earth will give an iPhone to me??! Who must have kept it here?! Mom and Dad??!! That means they are back?!!! But why will they give me an iPhone?!

Throwing the duvet away, I got out of the room in anger. What do they think?! Buying me an iPhone will make me forget that they literally left me here alone, without even leaving enough money. I am really very Disappointed. I would have never got angry if they just spared some time to wake me up yesterday and went properly without leaving just a simple note!

I walked down the stairs with heavy steps as I called out for them. I wonder why they bought that damn iPhone. I don't like iPhone's personally,  they are really very expensive. I like Android more. And my parents should know that giving me expensive things doesn't really work with me. This even angered me more.

" Mom? Dad! Where are you both?! "

I was searching for them when I saw sitting down on the couch while mom was sitting on the chair of the dinner table. They both looked really stressed, they seemed tired and in grave tension.

" Mom? Dad? What the hell is wrong with you both?! Did you guys really think that giving me this damn phone would compensate for what you both have done?! How can you both leave me here alone when you know that this is a new place and I don't even know any damn one here, whom I can ask for help if I get into any kind of trouble?!!! This is not done! "

I yelled while keeping that phone on the table in front of Dad. I saw mom standing up with tears in her eyes as she came to me making my anger turn into confusion. She looked afraid and scared, I glanced back at dad who looked really frustrated, his knuckles were white and his nose was flaring in anger.

" We have something to tell you Sweetie. "

Mom said as she cupped my face and caressed my cheeks.

" What is wrong with you mom?! Why do I feel that something really bad has happened?! "

I shouted impatiently. I saw her looking towards dad, who stood up finally and looked at me with blood shot eyes which made me shake in fear.

" We have fixed your marriage Isabel. "

He said.

Here's an update. Enjoy ;)
