Sugar, Please!

2.3

Ben stands in front of the hotel where he got the job. He is looking at it, shocked.

"Pacific Blue..." Ben mumbles.

It's Robert's hotel. Ben doesn’t think much and goes inside. He has to earn his bread.

The party is in a few hours. They are all preparing for it.

With the sunset, the party begins. Guests start to come. The huge hall room of Pacific Blue is full of elegant and rich people. Ben looks around and realizes it's a different world than where he lives in. Ben is walking with a tray full of champagne. Each person is talking with a glass in their hands. Ben was serving the glasses when he saw Ravana in the crowd.

Ravana is wearing a gorgeous red gown. Everyone is looking their best here but still, Ravana looks exceptionally beautiful. Ben can't help but stare at her. Suddenly Ben feels that Ravana saw him too. He quickly moves from there and starts to serve champagne.

A while later when Ben was walking with the tray Ravana came in front of her. The tray almost falls from Ben's hand in surprise but Ravana supports it.

“Ben! I thought I saw you! What a surprise!” Ravana smiles and says.

“Yeah…” Ben awkwardly replies.

Ben thinks about how weird it must be looking to other people that such a beautiful lady is talking to him at a party like this when is just a party waiter, hired for a night! He feels embarrassed about it.

“You look good in this waiter's dress.”

Ravana fixes Ben's bowtie. A few people start to whisper while watching them.

“I didn’t think I would meet you here.” Ben softly says.

“Unfortunately I threw this party.” Ravana softly laughs.

“It's your party!” Ben exclaims.

Ben looks around. The big screen on the wall says, "Congratulations to R&D Ltd."

“R&D Ltd. is your company?” Ben hesitates.

“Yeah... Our company did a big business today. So we are celebrating.”

“You didn't need a fake boyfriend today?” Ben asks bitterly.

“Nah! We are earning billions that are good enough to make them jealous. So I skipped the young boyfriend out of kindness.”

“I see. Enjoy the party then. I will go back to work.”

“Alright!” Ravana smiles.

Ben leaves as fast as he can. Ben stands in the staff room and thinks about what happens to him whenever he is around Ravana. He wasn’t such a coward before. He sits and stays there until he feels normal. He immediately rushes to the party again.

Everyone is enjoying themselves, dancing, gossiping but Ravana is sitting in a corner sipping champagne. Ben looks at her from afar. He slowly walks to her. Ben puts a bowl of ice-cream in front of her and takes the champagne glass.

“You have been drinking too much. Eat this instead.” Ben softly says.

Ravana looks at Ben and smiles. She starts to lick the spoon. Ben starts laughing seeing her state. He sits beside Ravana and takes the spoon from her. He slowly feeds her as she eats like a baby.
