Chapter 5 Sparkling eyes

Seth is in the restroom with a bag which has waiter uniform waiting for Zara as she texted him. He waited for five minutes when he spotted someone with a mask and hoodie entering the restroom he handed him the dress

"She told you to change into this as fast as you could and meet her at the counter"

Sebastian took the bag and Seth left the restroom. When Lucien saw Seth he recognized him as the man who talked with Zara earlier at the counter. He thought to help Sebasty so he distracted the bodyguards by talking about Sebastian's protocol.

Sebastian changed in two minutes and put his clothes in the bag. He is feeling adventurous now. He always wanted to escape from his bodyguards now he will thank that silly girl if he succeeded.

He put on the waiter's cap and popped his head to see his bodyguards engaged with Lucien. He knows Lucien did this for him. He walked out swiftly and bodyguards thought it's the waiter.

Sebastian walked towards the counter to see the girl waiting for him and when she spotted him she paid the bill and walked out. Sebastian stood there stunned. Why did she leave him? God how can he go out now.

He stood their confused not knowing whether to follow her out or return to the restroom. He cursed himself her believing that silly girl. What if his bodyguards saw him in this dress they will report to Mr. Gibbs. Fuck!! He shouldn't have believed that damn girl.

While he is battling with himself about going out or in, someone patted his shoulder and gave him a note

'Go to the kitchen you can find the exit' Sebastian sighed in relief and ran to the kitchen where Seth helped him to find the exit.

That note is his life saver, he thanked Seth and finally got out of the kitchen into the dark alley through exit. He didn't even have time to take a deep breath when someone grabbed his wrist and said "Run".

He did as she said and saw the little hand holding his wrist running into the alleys. He recognized the fur cap and chuckled remembering his adventure. After running for sometime they stopped at a place which is a bit far from the restaurant.

She lived there for a year and she knows all the places. She took him into the place where there are no surveillance cameras. After catching their breaths they saw each other for the first time under the moon light with just one street light on the side of the road.

She felt her heart beating so fast looking into his eyes and he felt like it's really a dream. First he escaped from his bodyguards, second with this little girl's help and third that girl is a stranger. He admired his courage for putting his trust on a stranger.

He had so many questions and doubts to ask her, before he could open his mouth Zara said "Let's leave this place, then we can talk"

Sebastian nodded his head making her smile. She turned around to lead the way only then she remembered that she held his hand.

She pulled her hand back swiftly scratching her neck and walked forward. She still can't believe what she just did. She saw her idol and chatted with him and helped him to escape from his bodyguards and surprising part is he obeyed and followed her out.

She took deep breaths to control her breathing and lead them to a remote place with trees and sat on a bench under the tree. After making sure that they were not followed she turned to him and gestured him to speak.

Before he could open his mouth she asked him "Why did you follow me?"

"I don't know"

Sebastian removed his mask and answered absent minded as he is busy in looking into her eyes which are like two sparkles. Something in him told that something is going to happen but he is not sure about that and he just don't want to think about anything else now other than drowning in her sparkles.

He liked her boldness and silliness and he is still in a dilemma about all the events of the night. She laughed at his answer and lowered her head shyly. She was sure if she look into his eyes for more than few seconds her heart would jump out of her chest.

"The one who gave you these clothes is my friend, he is like acting manager of that restaurant, so our escape is clean"

"Thank you, I needed this escape badly"

Sebastian licked his lower lip staring at her cherry lips which are now struggling under her white teeth. Zara nodded her head and smiled at him.

"I know"

And then they looked into each other's eyes for whole one minute. Zara didn't understand why he is staring her like that. She awkwardly turned her face away and asked the question she badly wanted to know the answer

"Are you still in a bad mood?"

Sebastian stayed silent lowering his head which made her face him again. She waited for him to speak.

"How did you recognize me and how do you know that I was in a bad mood?"

He wanted to ask her these questions from the moment she passed him the note. Zara pointed at his sleeve and spoke

"I recognized your mother's embroidery and it has your initials on it"

Sebastian raised his eyebrows, it's hard to see the initials as his mother mixed them with the design but she recognized it from a far. She's amazing.

Zara fiddled with her fingers before speaking "I just felt it. I always remember your happy smile and expected to see that but I saw someone I am not aware with a dejected look and you seem lost which is not a good sight for me."

She looked into his eyes and continued "I don't know whether I am right or not but I feel you are not happy when you are alone. I always feel you are searching for something like peace to have your time just for yourself"

Sebastian didn't comment but waited for her to continue.

"I know you work hard to make your family, fans and country happy but I just feel that you are also human with feelings just like me and you deserve to have your own space, so I made this decision then and there and sorry I took you away without their notice. I know this can put you in lot of trouble but I just wanted you to have your time just for sometime if you are willing. If you want to go back I can take you back now"

Zara spoke softly and looked into his dark orbs. She really is happy and hoped to spend some time with him but she didn't want to force him.

He said nothing but looked deeply into her sparkle eyes, her words kept running in his mind like roller coaster. No one has ever thought about him like that even his parents never understood him like her and he felt so happy to hear those words from a mysterious girl in front of him.
