"Just go straight to this area Ma'am and Sir. Enjoy your dinner," the woman smiled at me but she smiled sweetly at Axis. This guy also smiled back.
The side of my lips rose. The sight of them makes me wanna puke. Leaving them there, I headed in the direction where the woman pointed but Axis followed me. I just ignored his presence behind me. Maybe it's just a coincidence, right?
When I walked straight, I could see my parents sitting on a table but my forehead creased. Who are those two people with them?
Don't tell me ... I sneered when I realized something. Axis is here. There are two people in the table aside from my parents. Gosh! What is this again? What are they up to again?
"Sweetie!" Mom waved her left hand to get my attention. I shook my head and continued walking until I reached them and right then, my guess was right upon seeing the faces of these people with them.
"So, you went here together sweetie, huh?" Mom's voice sounds like she's teasing me. I just refrain myself from rolling my eyes.
They are just with Axis' parents for goodness's sake. Gosh! Then they call it as a family dinner?
I sat next to my mom and I don't know if they really meant to reserve a table with only six seats. Definitely, my seat was next to Axis.
"I thought we'll be having a family dinner?" I asked softly to my Mom.
"Yeah, family dinner together with your fiance's family. Isn't that fun?" I intentionally dropped my phone loudly on the table which could get their attentions.
"Mom, Dad, Aunt Ally and Uncle Fordee, I am glad you are all here so please give me this privilege to tell you the real truth. Axis and I have no relationship and basically we're not engaged." I told them causing them to be in silence.
"She's right Mom, Dad," Axis agreed then he looked at my parents. "Your daughter is right Ma'am and Sir. We are not in a relationship." I breathe loosely. They fell silent again and looked at us intently.
Axis and I stared at each other. I hope this time, they would believe —
Suddenly I heard loud laughter. My gaze shifted to my parents and Axis' parents. What the? After telling them the truth, they're just going to laugh at us?
"Are you trying to joke around young man and you young lady?" My eyes narrowed again at Daddy.
"Dad, we're both telling the truth!" I insisted on my Dad.
"Son, you've got to be kidding us," Uncle Fordee told Axis. The four of them laughed again. What the heck is happening?
"Why don't we start our dinner? I guess this couple is already hungry that's why they are saying petty things," Aunt Ally stated then I heard them laugh for the third time.
My jaw literally dropped. Tell me, this isn't a joke, right? This isn't a joke? I bent down and just rubbed my face using my hand. I saw Axis shook his head too.
Argh! Why do they not want to believe us? Gosh! I give up! Damn!
Axis and I ate silently while our parents were talking and laughing while they were eating. Family dinner, huh? Maybe it would have been better if they told us that it's their reunion and not a family dinner since they told us earlier that they were colleagues and they are business partners.
Argh!
After we ate, the four of them continued talking. It's like Axis and I were just bubbles here. Hello, we are here Mom, Dad, Aunt Ally and Uncle Fordee? Hello? Tss.
Axis and I stood together and only then did we get the attention of the four of them. Gosh!
"You're going already?" They asked us.
"Yeah," Axis did not respond favorably.
"And it's a shame to disturb the four of you," I whispered and looked in the other direction.
"You're saying something, sweetie?" Mommy asked me and I faked a laugh.
"None Mom," I fake a smile, too. "But I have to go. I'm sleepy already." I answered and took my things on the table.
"Why not take your fiancee with you Axis?" I was automatically stunned. What the? Seriously?
"Bring her home safe son. She's your responsibility now," Uncle Fordee said and he smiled at me. What he said made me feel deprived.
"Thank you for the concern but there's no need for it. I have my car with me. Thanks for the dinner anyway. I'm going." I approached my parents to kiss them on their cheeks as well as to Aunt and Uncle. Axis did the same thing.
"Drive safely," they stated before Axis and I went out together. We sighed once more.
While walking together, I didn't speak, neither him. When we both reached the parking lot, he just kept quiet until he called my name.
"Yasha Reese," I stopped and lazily turned to him.
"What?" I waited for his response but said nothing. He just stared at me which made me conscious. Why is he looking at me like that?
"Nothing," answered he then went inside his car. I frowned. Whay call my name when he has nothing to say?
I also got in my car and drove away. When I parked my car in the basement of the condominium building, I went inside and took the elevator. The elevator is about to close but someone put his foot below so it will not close. Because of what this person did, the elevator opened again and my eyes widened when I found out who it was.
I wanted to speak, or to ask him but I chose to keep my mouth shut. The elevator stopped at the 16th floor so I came out but I noticed that he also followed me. What the?
Because I couldn't stop myself anymore, I faced him and he was slightly taken aback but he look at me lifelessly.
"Hey, stupid idiot. Are you following me?" I raised an eyebrow while asking him that.
"No," he replied then continued walking but I immediately grabbed him in his arm.
"So, why are you here? What are you doing here?" I asked. He's about to answer my question but I prevented him from doing so. "Don't tell me you're stalking me?" I continued asking and he smirked at me.
"I'm too handsome to become your stalker, woman." He responded. What a thick face guy he is!
"Why are you here then if you're not my stalker?" I curiously asked.
"Stop assuming things woman. I own this condominium building and my unit was five doors away from yours." He answered and passed me by.
I was stuck in my position. What did he just say? He owns this Sweet Havens? And we are just on the same floor? Not to mention, his unit was only five doors away from mine? The heck?
It was only then that what he said sank into my mind. Waaaah! I felt a little bit ashamed for myself. Argh! This is so not happening! This is frustrating!
Why did the gorgeous earth let this things happen to me? Geez!
[Yasha Reese! Where the hell are you?] Aishi shouted on the other line. She's back to her dragon mood again. We have a photoshoot today and she knew I will definitely be late that's why she's warning me already."Yes, I'm on my way now," I answered while looking for a pair of my sandals. Truth is, I just got out from the comfort room and finished taking a bath just now.[Make sure you are really on the way! I know you Yasha Reese Heuson. You're telling me you're on the way now wherein fact, you are still busy preparing yourself.] She spoke and I just rolled my eyes."I'm telling the truth here! I'm really leaving my condo unit now," I lied and sat in front of the vanity mirror.[Fine! I'll wait you here.]When the phone call ended, I quickly prepared myself, put some light make up on my face, and curled my hair. Then I took my phone and my sling bag before I left my unit. Aishi will surely scold me. This is what I hate the most when I have a
Seeing his condition, I forcedly pinned my right arm on the road to get near him. I am trying to get up even though I was struggling. I want to check on him. I want to make sure he's okay. I looked at him, still trying to get close to him. His eyes were closed and I knew he was just enduring the pain he is experiencing."Hey, stup..." I stopped myself from calling him names. "Axis, a-are you o-okay?" I worriedly asked him but I only heard him groan in pain. I moved a bit to his spot, to where he is lying down. I looked at him closely and I saw the blood on his forehead. Gosh, what should I do? I do not know what to do.I helped him get up but my elbow was so hurt that I couldn't do it. I was thankful when some people went near us and led us upright then they called for a taxi and assisted us in getting inside. I let Axis leaned on my shoulders as we sat in the taxi.A woman, one of those people who helped us accompanied us in the taxi. She took us to a nearby
"I'm Axis' fiance," I answered and that made them all silent even those people who are walking in the hallway."OMG! I told you. They're really engaged!""Kyaaaah, Miss Yasha speaks up!""Oh my God. The news is really true!"Those who heard what I just said screamed. bit my lower lip, hard. Did I really say that, didn't I? I just saw how the nurse smiled at me."Follow me Miss Yasha," she instructed so I followed her inside. We went into a private room where the nurse came out earlier."Just call me when you need something," she added before she finally came out. I just nodded until I heard the door close.I continued walking into the said room and I saw Axis sitting on the hospital bed. He's looking outside the window. There was a pillow on his lap and he put his wounded arm on it. Basically, the suit he was wearing earlier was damaged and he was now only wearing a
I took Axis' belongings when the nurse showed it to me. That stupid idiot. How could he just left without taking his things here?"I'll get his things. I'll just give it back to him," I told the nurse who allowed me to get inside this room earlier."Don't you want to stay first, Miss Yasha? I know for sure your bruises still hurt," I smiled a bit with what nurse said. She's worried at my condition. I can tell that she's so caring."I'm okay," I answered at her. "That stupid idiot needs to be taken care of compared to me. I can endure the pain while him, I think he can't because he has a big scrape on his arm," I told the nurse and she smiled at me."You do love him, right?" that nurse asked and I was caught off guard because it really surprised me."Huh?" My brows furrowed."I can tell that you are really worried about him," she stated that while smiling at me. Like, what the?"A-ah," I ran out of words and I just shyly smiled back to
"And you? What do you think you are doing here? You just got treated for Pete's sake!" I hissed at him the moment I face him."I can now work. Did I worry you too much?" He grinned at me so I just rolled my eyes.He really thinks too highly of himself. Psh!"I came here to give you your phone," I put his phone on his table. "I think I need to throw this one. You can't able to use it again anyway," I'm referring to his damaged business suit and I'm wondering if he really wears something he already worn."There's the trash bin there," he pointed out the bin near the door and I threw the whole paper bag there."I had my phone back. You can go now," he pushed me away but instead of leaving, I just stared at him and did not listen to him. I sat on the sofa and leaned on it instead.I even frowned when my wounded arm touched the sofa. Aish! Such a clumsy one. Oh, speaking of wounds. I loo
It's been a week since that accident happened. I can say that my arm is all okay now since I can move it freely. It left a scar but I know it will be removed soon. The photoshoot was then postponed.When Aishi learned what happened to me, she was really damn worried about me. Even my parents. They learned what I've been through because it was immediately aired and reported in the breaking news the moment the accident happened.They even interviewed me to know what really had happened but I told them that it happened unexpectedly. Also, I told them that it was partly my fault so there's no need to blame the driver of that car, I mean the car who almost bumped me. You know, accidents happen unexpectedly, besides no one liked it. The important thing is that I and Axis are okay now.Some of my celebrity friends visited me at the mansion. Some also sent me messages and it's really an overwhelming on my part knowing that many are co
"Hey," Axis held my both arms and I heard him curse softly while looking at me. Then I felt him caressing my face."Stop crying. You are safe, okay? You are now safe," then he tuck my hair at the back of my ears after drying my tears using his thumb. "Let's go. I'll bring you home," and there, he held me in my shoulder and lead me on a walk.It was as if nothing had happened to me. I don't know how to feel. All I know is that my heart is still beating so fast until now. I'm just like a robot supported by Axis. I did not even realize that we were already inside the elevator.We went outside there after and I just found out that we were already in front of my unit. He asked for my pass code and clicked to open it."Yasha? Hey, Yasha," it was only then that I got back to my senses."A-ah," I responded and quickly wiped the tears from my eyes."Don't think about it anymore, okay? You are safe," he said, trying to calm me down and to ease what I
In less than just five minutes, I saw a black Subaru Forester that parked in front of my restaurant. I don't know if it's just me but the car looks familiar.W-wait? It was Axis' car. This is what he used before. My forehead furrowed and I was right when the door opened. It was really his.He got out of his car and he went inside my restaurant. With head held high, plus the fact that his height is shouting for extreme tallness, he walks as if he is joining a fashion model show and almost all of our female customers were staring and drooling over him. Not to mention, he's wearing a business suit which adds to his dominance, making him look more dashing.And wait? Did he really come here just to pick me up like what he has texted me?He stopped in front of me and smiled but I just frowned at him."What are you doing here?" I raised an eyebrow at him."I have texted you, haven't I?" he replied coolly while his hands were tucked in both of
