I stopped my car in front of her and opened the door for her. She stood there still not coming inside. I press the horn hard.
She seemed absent minded and came back to her senses as she hear the horn. She looked at the opened door in front of her before she hopped in.
“Seat belt ” I said to her.
She hold a end of the seatbelt and then turned to me.
“Do we need to go in this… ?? I mean supermarket isn’t that much far from here. We are just going to buy some vegetables and… Umm… you know… This car seems bit luxurious to go there… ”
She began to say things with some awkwardness.
“You can walk yourself there if you want… ”
Her face lighten up as these words escaped my lips. She happily went to the door handle to unlock the door.
I quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
“Aaahhh” she scream in panic.
I hold her wrist with one hand while buckle her seatbelt with another.
I came back to my seat and drive the car away trying to avoid the surge of emotions that were overwhelming me from inside.
The car sped up on the road like a cheetah in the jungle and soon we were in front of the supermarket.
The luxurious car attracted lots of attention as usual. People begin to stop in their ways and stare at the car to see who comes out of it.
I parked the car aside and then got out of the car. I looked at the other side of the car, but Riley didn’t see. S to came out of the car.
“Knock knock”
I went to her side and knocked the car window.
Riley’s pov
I looked out and saw Mr Gold still knocking there. I feel a bit embarrassed to go out. I looked around and many people were staring at my direction. I can see the eyes of people admiring Mr Gold.
I felt so uncomfortable to got out of it. If I could, I would’ve stayed locked inside here for years rather than going out.
Mr gold pulled the window and opened it. I looked up to him. He seem so much calm than me .
“I don’t have the whole day, I still need to go back to work. ” Mr Gold said looking coldly at me.
“Yes” I nodded at him and got out of the car looking anywhere but not in people’s eyes.
Mr Gold walked to the supermarket while I followed behind him.
“Awe what a handsome man. Who is he? ”
“He seems new here. I never saw him before. ”
“Yes yes, he must be new but how come someone so rich came to live here? ”
“Look at the car he just got off ”
“Who’s she trailing behind him? ”
“She seems poor… Why is she following him. ”
“Didn’t she just came out of the same car? ”
“Yeah, she must be really lucky.. ”
“Lucky my foot, she must be the secretary or something. ”
A group of girls not far away discussed. They didn’t even make their voices smaller.
“Let’s go and ask his number. ”
“He won’t be interested ”
“Who cares… Let’s try out our luck. ”
The girls followed behind us.
I felt sick at their stupid behavior.
Mr gold had already picked up one of the trolley and was waiting for me to get there.
“Come here ” he gestured me to get to him.
I looked around just to see the staffs of the supermarket looking at his way. They looked at him with admiration.
They came up to him before I could approach him and asked what he needed.
“What is it you need Mr? “one if them said looking at his face drooling.
“Yeah we’ll get that for you “another one also sucked him up.
“Just tell us what you want, we’ll give you the fresh and quality goods. ” another one said with a lot of excitement.
“We can even lessen the price if you want… You know ” another girl said with a creepy smile on her face while her one arms on her waist and another rolling the hair that fall out of her head.
I used to came here almost regular but I’ve never seen them so attentive towards a customer.
They barely helped the customers. Especially these young girls don’t even help customers while they ask for anything. It was quite funny to see this scene because Mr Gold seemed to be annoyed by them. His brows furrowed together and then his face turned cold.
“Get lost. ” he said to those girls and pushed the trolley past them.
He stopped after few steps and then looked at me coldly.
“Don’t you hear, what I said? ”
I nodded and ran up to him. I couldn’t help but smile.
“What’s so funny huh? ” he asked.
“No nothing ” I quickly shook my head and moved to one of the rack pretending to look for something.
“You know what to pick? ” he asked.
“Yes of course .” I nodded while still moving .
“Then why are you just moving? Pick up the things you need. ” he said.
Oops, shit. I forget. I nodded to him and pulled the trolley from him and ran towards another side.
I picked up some some tomatoes, onions radish, carrot, etc.
Then I pushed the trolley to another side. It felt a bit heavy this time. But Mr Gold come at front and pushed it for me.
“What do you want? ” I asked him. I remembered him saying he wanted something too.
“You just picked vegetables… ” he said looking around. ” I want meats. ”
“This way. ” I went to the another side of the supermarket as he trailed behind me.
“What do you want? Pork? Chicken or mutton? ” I asked.
“You… ”
I looked back to him as he quickly correct his words. “You choose whatever. ” he was a bit flustered out of embarrassment.
“What should I pick? ” I got confused at this. I hate choosing things.
“Pick everything, we don’t have time. ” he suggested.
“You sure? ” I asked him to confirm.
He nodded to me.
I picked up a packet for each. Pork, chicken and also mutton.
“I think we need eggs too. ” I remembered we were almost out of eggs.
“Here. ” he take the eggs and put in humbly on the trolley.
I felt so good while he did that. This small chats… I felt as if our relation was a bit better now. At least for now.
“Oh, oats, milks and oils ” I said. Those were still lots of. But I wanted to continue the chat.
“Yeah and the jam and juice. ” GE also added.
I went to next corner and he followed me pushing the trolley behind me.
I put the oats and oil stuffs on the trolley. Then I tried to take out jam but it was up so high that I can’t reach there.
I tried to jump and get a hold but even though I jumped I couldn’t get to the jam.
Suddenly I felt a arm around my waist. It made the grip tighter and then lifted me up in the air. It was Mr Gold. I can say it without looking at him.
I quickly turned to him and hold his shoulders to balance myself up in his arms. I looked down only to see his handsome face around my belly as he was looking at me.
I feel tickle in my stomach where his warm breath was touching. And in the place where his hands were touching my body, I felt like there was a lava exploding… It felt so hot. Actually all the hotness was being transferred from his body to mine.
“Jam… ” he said to me.
“Uhh yes. ” I feel embarrassed and my ears become hot too. Perfect now that I’m so hot, I’m sure I look like a red tomato.
I turned back and took a jam from the top shelf.
He slowly put me down as I got the jam.
I put the jam on the trolley and then looked at him awkwardly. I was confused whether to say thank you or not.
“Oats? ” He pointed at the another rack where oats was there.
Leave it. I shook away the thought of thanking him. I nodded and went up to the rack.
“Here it is. ” I took a oat and turned to him.
“Is there any washroom here? ” he asked looking around.
“washroom? Yes there is one on the right end of this floor. ” I replied to him.
“You do the rest of the shopping. I’ll be back in a while. ” He said as he got vanished from there.
I shook my shoulder and pushed the trolley.
