"Welcome to Bella Amélia, Sir!" Yuna interrupted, that's when I realized we've been staring at each other for too much.
I, slowly, looked down. He imemdtely looked away. My heart was pounding loudly and I really hate it. I just hope it's because I'm nervous.
Okay, where's my guts now?
"What are you looking for? I can guide you!" I'm wondering a bit why she became more energetic all of sudden.
Yukenzo's eyes darted to me again and I wanted to punch myself for buying his every gaze. He matured but I don't know why I feel like he's still the same Yukenzo I left years ago. From wearing a complete uniform to an expensive corporate attire. I can't deny how gorgeous he is. From the past years, yes, I admit, I've never resisted taking news from them on the other side. And based on my sources, he graduated with a degree to be proud of. He's a successful lawyer now. Funny how I find it perfectly suits him.
Because his authoritative looks didn't change.
"Actually I have someone with me..." he trailed off. I didn't know what to react.
Yuna didn't notice my sudden stiffness."Oh, really?" Of course, she won't. I didn't tell to anyone about the two of us anyway.
Yukenzo moved his gaze away from me to turn outside and I did the same, only to see a familiar small face of a petite girl, holding a Louis Vuitton bag, wearing heels in a fitted cropped shirt and checkered short skirt. Her red lips curved in a smile as her eyes found the guy in front of us.
"Yuki! I told you to wait for me there! Hmp! But nevermind..." she stood beside him, giggly. Her smile faded after seeing me.
"Hello, ma'am! Welcome here!" Yuna greeted. Good because I don't think I can greet any of them.
"Hi!" Azelyn waved at her before looking at me again, this time with a smile."I expect you're the owner of this lovely boutique," I can't find something on her voice and I hate that I'm searching for something that will only ruin my mood.
Well, they ruined it already. Just seeing them here ruined my good mood. I thought he's alone though... but nevermind, I shouldn't, right?
I faked a smile."Uh, yeah. I'm the owner. Hope you a good shop," I turned to Yuna."Guide them, okay? I'll just do some errands there..." I tapped her shoulder as she nodded. I was about to turn my back.
But Azelyn spoke again.
"What's with the rush? You seemed a very busy person, eh?" When I turned back, she's smirking widely.
With the look of her, I think she took the same course as Yukenzo took. Same profession, same feelings, huh? I didn't expect they will still end up together after all that happened. Oh well, no one could tell...
"Yes, I am. How about you two? I doubted you still have a lot of free time. You seemed a very busy couple, too." I smirked inwardly.
I saw Yukenzo's jaw tightened but I ignored it, too busy watching Azelyn's happy face.
"Oh, how did you know? Frankly, yes. My boyfriend and I got busy with some things... you know..." she wrapped her arms around his. I heard Yuna giggled.
My lips formed in grim line."What a sweet couple, huh?" I can only commented.
"Of course!" She then, glanced at him with her twinkling inlove eyes.
I secretly blowed out an air.
Yuna guided her pick the dress she wants while me and Yukenzo left here. Other customers have left already, some were still there, having a hard time choosing what to buy and I thanked God because I'm not totally alone with this guy.
Why don't he accompany his girl, by the way? What is he thinking that he chose to stay here?
"Excuse me, I'm have a work to do--" he immediately cut me off by holding my wrist. I was taken aback for a moment, eyes were fixed on his hands on me. He realized what he's doing so, he took it back. I looked at him, casually."What is it, Sir?" Damn, too sarcastic to be polite!
He clenched his jaw repeatedly."Nothing..." he harshly looked away and left me being stunned there.
What the hell was that? He's the nuttiest of all nuts!
I decided to go back to my office and forced myself to focus on analyzing some data but I always ended up, glancing at the transparent screen where I could see what's going on outside here. Azelyn was picking dress and making Yukenzo see every of her choices. She's all smile, too happy. I noticed that her features has changed, also. Not like before, her hair looks long and shiny now.
I unconsciously brushed my short black hair. Yes, I have dyed my gray one just last year because why not? I want to make a tremendous change. But that doesn't mean I'm leaving all the traces of my old careless self totally. I just needed to make a step, for me to move forward.
Crouching down, I took off my stilettos. I've been wearing that kind of footwear for years but guess I'll never get used to it. My foot always end up in sore.
I heard laughters. I don't know but I found myself watching them through the transparent screen. Yuna was joining Azelyn's laughs. I don't know what they are laughing at but Yuki beside her, aren't laughing. Instead, he's looking at me.
Yeah, he's just looking at me. He's looking at---WHAT?!
He's fucking looking at me?! Shit!
My eyes widened as I realized I'm right, he caught me watching them! Oh, good God, just take me now! I wanna be buried now! Goodness!
I immediately stepped back, didn't notice there's a table at my back, the things on it fell and it caused loud noise. I closed my eyes. Shit! Shit this!
The next thing I heard is Yuna's worried voice."Ms. Arnaez? Are you okay there? I heard a loud thud! You okay?" Good thing I locked the door, they won't see how stupid my position was.
"I-I'm okay, Yuna!" I shouted.
I bit my lip and brushed my hair frustratingly. So much embarrassment for this day!
