Ben slowly walks towards the washroom. The girl in the bikini is standing beside the washroom. Her face is looking completely different from before. An unusual seriousness has covered her face. She looks at Ben and then looks another way. Ben doesn’t make it more awkward and starts to walk faster. He thinks that she must be embarrassed about what happened before.
“How much do you get?”
Ben gets surprised.
“Sorry?” Ben confusedly asks.
“Just asking. Wanted to make sure if I am getting paid properly.”
Ben starts to feel awkward and embarrassed at the same time. Even though his relationship with Ravana is exactly not the same as her and Robert, still he is receiving money from her. He can't deny that. He walks over to the girl and stands beside her.
“I am not sure yet.”
“What? You didn’t talk it out?”
“Not really…”
“New to this?”
“hmm…”
The girl starts to laugh. Ben starts to feel more and more embarrassed. He stands there awkwardly for a few more seconds.
“I have been with Robert for a year now. He pays well.”
“I see.”
“I have never seen Miss. Rosewell with anyone twice.”
Ben looks at her with anxious eyes. That girl whispers in Ben's ear.
“She is loaded. Make sure to double your payment tonight…” She winks at Ben.
Saying this she leaves from there. Ben stands there for a few seconds until he realizes what she meant. He thinks that he didn’t get a chance to ask her name. Maybe it's better that way.
Ben goes back to where Ravana is.
“Ben, good thing you are back?”
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“We just finished too.”
“Someone would think you two are a mother and her loving son.” Robert looks at them and says with a cranky voice.
"That will be a good roleplay theme. Right, Ben?" Ravana looks at Robert while saying.
Ben's ears become red instantly. He collected himself.
"I can make anything streamy as long as I am with you!" Ben answers.
They smile at each other.
Robert stands up smiling.
“Why don't you have dinner with us?” Robert invites them.
“No, thanks, Robert. You will just ruin my appetite. I have already booked a table. So enjoy yourself!” Ravana stands up from her seat.
Ravana and Ben leave from there. After crossing that floor, Ravana starts to laugh loudly.
“What happened?” Ben asks, surprised.
“You sure it was your first time doing this? You were a pro!”
Ben feels shy.
‘It's just…”
“It's alright. No need to feel embarrassed.”
“So what else I will have to do?”
“That's it. Now let's eat our dinner and go home. Back to our normal life.”
Ben silently walks beside Ravana. Everything looks like a dream. It wasn’t even a two hour thing. "I will get so much for only this?!" Ben thinks.
“You will give me that much money only for doing this?” Ben asks.
“You want to do something more?” Ravana stops walking and looks back at Ben.
Her eyes are kind of serious.
“I don't know, it just doesn't feel right.” Ben softly says, swallowing air.
“What doesn’t feel right?”
“Taking this much money from you.”
“You need the money, right?”
“I do but still…”
Ravana laughs and starts to walk.
“Years ago... I knew a guy... who used to make a lot of mistakes at his job. His boss would get angry at him, shouts at him, would throw trash at him... I wanted to help him but... I could barely have anything to help myself at that time…”
Ben looks at the straight back of Ravana. Her thin waists move side to side as she walks. Her shoulder looks more straight as she talks. Ben keeps looking at her from behind, surprised. She is so cool, he thinks. Ravana keeps talking.
“You don't need to think that I pity you. I just wanted to help you. My company gives scholarships to bright students every year anyway. I am just considering you one of them. So relax!”
Ravana looks back at Ben. Ben is looking at her with sad eyes.
“Come on, now! Just think that you did a favor on me! Are we even now?”
Ben nods his head.
