["Just tell me where are you going this early in the morning. Tell me."]
I took a light breath and rolled my eyes in the air. Tsk! He really importunate person. I don't know what I'm going to do with this person.
"Fine! It's not a big deal, anyway."
["Just tell me! I didn't ask if it is a big deal or not!"] He told me. My lips parted because I was shocked. Oh my god!
"If I knock your head down. What do you think? Now, you have the guts to shout at me! You punk!" I said to blue.
I heard him sigh. ["It's not that. I'm just worried, you know."]
"I only go to the rest house. And besides, you don't have to worry about me. I'm not a kid or something."
["What? You will go there? Luke was there, right? He's the engineer,"] He said a little bit mad.
My brows furrowed. "So what? It's my rest house."
["I don't really understand you. He cheated on you back th–"]
"No! That's not true!" I answered immediately because I didn't want others to think that he had deceived me.
["What?"] He sighed. ["Anyway, can you go to the coffee shop, near the school? I'm here."]
"Why? Is there something wrong?" I asked.
["No! Let's just talk. Tell me about it and I will tell you about what happened that day."] I feel like he was smiling.
"Hey, blue! Don't play with me... Do you really mean it?" I asked anyway.
["Yeah! You've been asking me about that for a long time, haven't you?"] I nodded.
"Yes! Okay! I will be there in just ten minutes." I ended the call and drive to the coffee shop near the school.
Yes! I've been asking him about that for a long time. I'm just freaking curious what they fought that day. It feels like, there's something they can't let go of or... Nevermind!
I really hope, it's true that he will tell me because if this is one of his pranks again, he should prepare himself because I will really bang his head on the wall.
When I arrived at the coffee shop, I immediately look for him and then I saw him near the glass wall. I approached him and sat in front of him.
I took a deep breath. "I'm here!" I shouted him without looking at him.
"I can see that," He said so I looked at him and he was already looking at me.
I smiled. "So, tell me now. I don't want to waste my time." I raised my brows at him.
"Blaire, you know, let's have a coffee first." Blue smiled at me and he was about to raise his hand to order another coffee but I stop him.
"I'm already done."
"Oh, okay then." He sipped on his coffee "Luke still in love with you," He said straight.
So, it is really true, huh? I don't know why I feel still nervous, awkward, or... I can't explain this one... right now. It's just nothing! This is not new to me because of what happened last week — on Darcy's wedding.
Though, we didn't even clarify everything had just happened. He also said that he still love me but there's a part of me that can't believe of what I said. An awkward smile is placed on my lips when he taps my hand.
"Are you okay, Blaire?" He asked and I just nodded.
"Sorry. It's just... Uhm... I still can't believe it."
He took a light but a little deep breath before looking away. "Yeah! I know! I also feel awkward," He whispered the last sentence but I heard it.
"Anyway, how did you know? Or how did you say so?" I asked.
He looked at me. "That day, he warned me not to touch every single hair and skin of your body unless I want to die. He also warned me about hugging you that day, he said, he will kill me if he sees or knows that I hug you again."
I can't help but feel butterflies in my stomach. "Really? Are you serious?" He nodded. "Then, why you two had bruises?"
The side of his lips rose and laughed a little at the same time. "He punched me when I said that I really want to hug you every day, to cuddle with you, to eat with you, to hold your hand, to be alone with you in the rest house–"
"What?" I cut him off.
"And of course, last but not the least... to kiss you." He winked at me and smile.
"Are you really that crazy?" He just shrugged. "You really deserve to punch by him." I rolled my eyes at him.
"How 'bout you? Tell me about it. He didn't cheat on you?"
I laughed but ended up smiling so sweet but not that sweet. "Well, let's make it short." He frowned.
"Margareth planned all of that. Margareth is the villain of our love story..." I laughed a little. "Be careful with the people around you. Okay?"
I smiled and stood up and went out of the coffee shop. I got in my car and left. I have to get there early because I have a long time.
It's saturday and I don't have a class. And also, I finished everything I need to do this weekend so that I could watch the rest house this weekend. That's my only reason. Believe me, self!
While I was on the road, I couldn’t help but smile for reasons I didn’t know either. Maybe, I’m just happy now because I know that really no one fooled me. I also can’t explain the butterflies I felt inside me.
I felt this before but I just ignored it. I thought, I'm just hungry.
When I stopped in front of my rest house, I saw Clayton first and he was smiling while talking to someone through his phone. I went off my car and approached him.
His eyes widened a bit and ended the call after saying something on the phone.
"Hi! Good morning!" I wave my both hands and smile widely at him.
"You're here? I thought you will never come back?" He said.
I sighed. "It was just a prank." I laughed and then he accompanies me inside. And then I saw Allen.
I smiled at him and wave my hands as well. Allen immediately stood up and drank water before approaching me.
"Blaire!" He was ready to hug me but a little cough stopped him. He immediately put a distance between us. What's wrong?
"Don't you miss me?" I asked but he didn't answer me, he just smiled at me and wave his hand like I did earlier.
For me, hugging a guy is just nothing. It's just a friendly hug for me. But for the judgmental people, it wasn't just nothing, there is malice when it's like that... Malicious Rumor.
I was about to turn around when someone hugged me from behind. My eyes widened in shock and could no longer move from the stand. My heart is beating so fast right now.
Luke put his chin on my shoulder while his arms are still around me. Now, my head also can't move. Just a little movement of my head, something will happen that will make my heart beat faster.
"Me. Don't you miss me?" He asked but I don't get a chance to answer when he suddenly talk. "Because I miss you... a lot."
He kissed my cheek before let me go. He sat on the chair in front of me and stared at me. I just blinked a few times and laughed softly. Wow! I guess the thickness of his face to do that.
"W-what do you think are you doing? Ha? We're not close," I said while frowning.
He smirks at me. "I did it because I missed you. What's wrong with that?" He raised his brows at me.
Wow! As in wow. Who is he again in my life, huh? What right does he have to do that and then why didn't I push him before? My body is my traitor one. Psh!
"Oh! One point for him!" Clayton said while smiling with sound before sat on the chair in front of luke.
Allen also smiling with sound and then he sat beside Clayton. I rolled my eyes and then sat next to luke as well. It seems like it was wrong for me to go here, I should have just stayed home and watched a k-drama. It was really a wrong decision I made.
"Have you eaten, Blaire?" Luke suddenly asked so I looked at him and he was already looking at me.
I nodded. "Yes. A little."
"Then you should eat again." He looks at Allen. "Allen, where is the one I brought earlier."
Allen looked at us. "In the refrigerator. Should I take it out?"
Luke nodded and smiled before look at me. "Yes, please."
I took a deep breath. "It is not needed. I'm still full. Besides, I’m on a diet." I smiled.
His face turn to serious mode. "There is no diet diet when I am with you. When I say you should eat, you will eat."
I raised my brow at him and smirk at the same time. "What if I do not want to? What will you do?"
"I will feed you myself." He simply said so I swallowed and took a light breath.
"Fine! I will eat, as much as you want." I rolled my eyes at him.
Allen arrived just in time with three suitcases full of some food. And then, I smell something favorite of mine. I think, that smell came from the bag that Allen brought.
Luke gave it to me and I have no choice so I took it and open it. My eyes widened a little bit and my tummy suddenly got hungry.
"It's your favorite. Adobo," Luke said and I just smiled at him.
"Yeah. Right! It's my favorite."
I opened the other two bowls and then caldereta the one in one and the rice in the other. I started to eat silently and after a few minutes of eating, I feel uncomfortable.
I slowly looked at them. And I just sigh when they are staring at me. My brows furrowed.
"What?" I asked.
Finally, they came to their sense except for Luke. "Nothing! Just eat! We'll leave you two there now," Allen said.
"Why? Where are you going?" I asked as I frowned.
"Ah, we just have to go through something and then we can take a little longer. So you two can talk now." Clayton smirked at me like they have a plan or something.
I just nodded. "Okay! Take care!" I wave my hand and smiled.
They smiled at me, too and then they tap luke's shoulder before going out and leave. I feel more uncomfortable and awkward now.
"Are you done?" Luke asked.
"Yes. Thank you." I stood up and grab my bag. "I'll go ahead! I have some works to do. Bye!"
I was about to open the door when he holds the doorknob so I stopped. My brows furrowed and my heart beat fast at the same time. What is he doing? Won't he let me go home.
"No! I won't let you go this time," He said and slowly stepped closer to me so my heart beat faster.
"W-what are you doing? Don't come close to me!"
He just smirks and ignored what I said. And every time he took a step, I would back off. Until I suddenly leaned against the wall so I raised my two hands in front of my chest to stop him from what he was going to do. But he just grabbed my two hands and lowered them.
His face slowly come closer to me so I closed my eyes. And then, I just felt the touch of his soft lips on my forehead, my nose, and finally, my lips. Oh my god!
"I missed you... and I'm serious. Come with me, I want to show you something." I just nodded.
"W-what's that something?"
He laughed at me when he look at my face. "You will see if we arrive there, Blaire."
He grabbed my hand and pulled me to the back of the rest house. We entered inside a small forest and every pass we passed had lights attached to the trees. Maybe we won't get lost when we come back later.
And then, I saw a long staircase and at the top of it was a small house. There are also leafy leaves surrounding the house that serve as design.
"Wow! How did you know this place?" I asked him when we stopped.
He chuckled. "I got lost in the second day of renovation of your rest house. I just ended up here."
He helped me up and when we were on top. I was very surprised because I can see the beautiful scenery here. And this small house is just enough for three people who want to cool down or want to see the beautiful scenery. I can also see the rest house and the sea not far from us.
I would have turned my back when someone hugged me from the back again, I wasn't surprised because I knew it was Luke, he was the only one with me here.
I took a deep breath. "What?" I asked.
He shook his head. "Nothing. Just one minute, please."
I didn't say anything and I just let him do what he wants while I was enjoying the cold and nice breeze.
But luke was over in a minute, he had hugged me for almost three minutes. I removed his hand and faced him.
"One minute is over already," I told him.
He nodded. "I know." He smiled at me. "You know, I'm so happy to see you again after 11 years, Blaire. I never thought that over the years, you are still the flesh of my heart, you are still the one making it fast, that you are still destined for me."
I chuckled and stared at him so long. "Destined? Really?" I caressed his hair down to his cheek. "Me too." I smiled and kissed him on the lips.
He kissed me back and then he holds my waist and pulled me closer to him. "I want you, Blaire," He whispered in the middle of our kiss.
I didn’t get a chance to answer him. I will just let him do what he wants to do.
Anyway, I won't deny it anymore. I want him, too. I miss him that much.
