Chapter 2 - Meeting his secret TOTGA

Her voice was so warm and stunning to hear. His heart thumps so wild.

"Are you okay?" Garnet asked when he didn't move.

What will he do? Why does he feel this kind of unusual feeling? Why all of sudden, just hearing her sweet voice his system suddenly goes to a riot?

"John " she muttered. He suddenly swallowed the lump in his throat before worrying to face her.

A girl with an innocent look. Her smile is so fancy and dazzling. Her straight blonde hair was slightly curled down below her waist. Her nose is shapely perfect. She owned a luscious lip. Her face was perfectly shaped. Her long dark lashes emphasize her not-so-big brown eyes.

He notices her white and smooth complexion that stands further wearing her light blue champagne sequin dress. Her slender body suits her sexy apparel.

Her height is also perfect for the towering height that he has. His ideal height for women is 5'7" up but not more than 6'2". She's 5'10" and that's enough and precise.

She looks like a supermodel because of her charm and appeal. She looks sensual but not in a nasty way.

" Let's have a seat " she invited.

He took a deep breath before heading to the set-up table. He pulled out the chair for her before sitting down suitably.

"I set a date a day before yesterday but you didn't arrive. But, I patiently waiting for the day you will get ready to meet me in person," she calmly began.

"I wasted 4 hours waiting here that day," she added.

She's still on an adorable smile. You could barely see the annoyance on her face. Or maybe, she could fake it to show you her understanding and long forbearance.

"But don't worry, it's just fine. I know you're not ready yet to face your future wife, John Flord."

" It's Flord. Don't call me John Flord " he corrected. When he hears his first name, it's like he remembers what his father called him when he was angry with him.

She flashed a quick smile and turned back to a serious look. He notice a piece of plain gray elastic cloth wristband she wore.

" Ok, but I prefer to call you John. It sounds more manly. " His eyebrows rose at what she said.

Manly huh?

" Your parents are eager to ask me about my plan for our wedding day. What is your recommendation? I want to hear your side, especially on the wedding program. "

" Our wedding? How about a fake wedding?" he suggested. She chuckled.

" Is that what you want? " She seriously asked.

He let out a deep sigh.

" I just didn't want to get married. "

" But, you will thank me after our wedding. "

He just nodded. She could be his last card to save their businesses.

OFFICE HOURS while answering Ashley's questionnaire.

" Have you tried to fall in love with a woman?" He rolled his eyeballs. Such an annoying question. He needs to be honest for the sake of her sister's literature project.

' Maybe, I am not sure yet. It was just like a quick admiration and faded in a week past.'

Sounds like infatuation.

" How many girlfriends do you have?" Another stupid question.

' One from high school and one from college.'

" Do you believe that love is blind? "

Definitely not! Love is acceptance.

He put his palm on his face after realizing that this questionnaire could be a part of his sister's joke. He knows it cause his sister knows he didn't like to talk about his love life.

He sipped coffee before reading the next question. He coughs off guard after reading the next question.

" Did you ever have sex with a woman? If yes, what position do you always possibly assume that your woman does it for you?"

What the heck is this, Ashley?!

What kind of project is this?!

Fudge! She's pretty annoying.

He almost crumpled it in annoyance but he saw another question.

" What is your biggest mistake you probably regret it?" He is stuck on this question.

His high school ex-girlfriend suddenly flash into his mind.

' Way back in high school. I am the famous guy on campus. A certified consistent heartthrob throughout my whole high school life. I fooled someone else. A girl, a freaky geek one. The one at the top list of the most victim of a bully. Bullies made a deal with me and I unwillingly did it—but I did, I hurt her. '

How I wish to see her again and ask forgiveness.

" What did you do to resolve it?"

' For me, until now I didn't resolve that mistake. Just because, until now I'm still waiting to see her again, and say sorry personally.'

" Are you thinking about settling down with the woman you are in love with?" He sighed deeply.

' If God gives me the right one, why not.' He answered it sincerely.

But he is getting married to a stranger.

He was stunned when his eyes caught the unexpected question at the end. He read it again maybe he just missed it.

" Are you gay?" He agape.

What the heck! Ashley wants me to answer this question because I always deny that I am gay.

She wants to reveal my secret. He suspiciously thinks about her hidden agenda.

' I am not of course! And what's wrong with being gay huh? Is that matter? ' he outbursts.

He annoyingly leans his back. Why he's being defensive?

He used another copy of the questionnaire and he answered it again. This is supposedly her sister's project and he needs to answer it calmly and clean.

He goes to the last question.

If he says he's not gay, the ending is he's still gay because he doesn't know how to flirt with women.

By the way, how to flirt with a woman? He can't relate. Every time there's woman tried to flirt with him, he just feels eerie and likes to escape them.

His parents don't know his true gender identity. He keeps it secret for a long time. And how long does he need to keep it?

He shook his head. His father might kick him out if he tried to confess and come out. And there's the reason he doesn't want to come out. He doesn't want to get bullied and belittled because his gay.

He inserted the questionnaire inside the brown long envelope.

His secretary gets into his office.

" Sir, someone is looking for you."

" Who?"

" Miss Garnet Sytone " she answered.

Suddenly after hearing her name his system panicked. His heart thumb so fast. He put his palm on his chest.

He's like having a heart attack.

" Are you just alright, sir? " Althea asked with concern.

" I am f-fine " he stammered.

His secretary chuckled after seeing him in a state of intense anxiety.

" When your heart beats to someone, there's nothing you can do but follow it," Althea said. She stared at her intently.

" She's not the one " he contradicted.

" And why you're acting like a teenager who unexpectedly visited by your ultimate crush? Oh, sir, this is your chance to confess your feelings toward your ultimate crush! " She continued with excitement.

" My boss is in love for the first time " she added.

" Shut up! " He reprimanded. She stands straight.

" Why you don't just go back to your work and focus on your reports? " Althea zipped her mouth but she can't keep her smile seems she was romantically excited.

" Secretary Gererra, I am not in love! " he yelled to clarify defensively. She just nodded.
