Me:
I just want to see you.
My cheeks heated. After that vacation I became more open about my feelings about him. And it's because I feel like someone's opening it for me too. Not only is he so generous to me but I like that better than just showing off to me.
Erato:
Then come here.
My heart was beating fast. I glanced at Olivia again.
Me:
You're with Jax?
He knew the condition of the two of us. He did not reply again. I watched as Olivia was about to pay at the counter. My phone vibrated and I saw him calling. God! What now? He's calling me? This is the first time he called me! Stunned, I answered his call while eyes were on Olivia.
"H-hello?"
"Where are you?" he replied.
I wet my lower lip hearing his voice. Really no hello or anything? I immediately heard his loud and arrogant voice. His background is a bit noisy, maybe because of the loud music and he's in a pub of course!
"At the mall."
"You're gonna come or?" he left in the air what he was saying.
I sighed, almost fidgeting.
"I'm still with Olivia, a-and Jax will see me."
"He's not here."
It was as if something immediately shone in my eyes. He's not with Jax!
"Oh," I said nothing.
But deep down, I wanted to run to him.
"But your friends ..." I said again.
He didn't answer. I heard on the other line, maybe to friends. Until the loud sound in his line gradually faded.
"I thought you wanted to see me," My heart went berserk.
If he only knew how much I want to see him now. It's just that this is too sudden and unplanned. Aren't we actually hiding the set up of the two of us!
"Y-yes, but ... Olivia and your friends ..."
"I'll wait for you in the back. Just come here." he simply said.
Olivia's done. I don't know what to do, but I did what I wanted to do anyway.
"A-alright, give me minutes."
I immediately turned off the call because Olivia's sharp eyes were meeting me as she was holding her purchases. A body guard quickly appeared to retrieve his belongings.
"Who's that?" She asked like a detective trying to catch the killer.
"Uhm, just dad. He wants me to go home now." I lied.
She didn’t answer and just raised an eyebrow at me.
"I'll go now, I'll just spend the night with you tomorrow. I think it's an emergency, hmm?"
I said again. I opened my arms and hugged her and kissed her on the cheeks.
"Hmkay? Bye! I'll text you!"
I chase as I hurry away. She was left standing in there while her arms crossed on her chest, looking so done with my reasoning. I smiled big as I walked into the parking lot. I called his number and after three rings he picked up.
"I'm on my way. How about my driver?" I whispered.
I smiled awkwardly at my driver while he's opening the door for me.
"Stop the worry, Jade." He spoke calmly and deeply. I bit my lip, is he mad?
"I'll take care of it, come here."
I suppressed the smile on my lips while the driver started the car. Just across the street is the Terraza, so we got there quickly.
"In the back parking lot." I said to the driver and he immediately turned the u-turn to enter the back parking lot of the pub.
In the distance I saw the figure of a tall and elegant man, and when the car light hit him I confirmed it. He was dazzled so he narrowed his eyes, he's puffing cigarettes and that even made me more excited. Just the usual 'stupid' look of him. I cannot think of anything. I saw Erato throw away the cigarette he was holding before going to the car and reaching for the door next to me.
"Just wait for me here, I’ll be quick."
I said to the driver and he nodded of slightly. The lock opened and the mighty Erato Asterial opened up the door beside me. My eyes almost beamed while looking at him. He's simply wearing jeans and a pull over but why is he looking so damn fine? I got out of the car, not losing sight of him.
I smiled at him widely, while he had this mix of amusement and wicked expression plastered on his face. He pointed the gutter in the parking lot so I went there. I saw him talk to the driver and leave the car after. I don’t know what he said, but I don’t care about that anymore.
And finally, his attention is on me. I could no longer hold back and I crossed our distance to hug him. We were almost out of balance with what I did, I heard him chuckled. I tiptoed and placed my palm on his nape and kissed him immediately, just for a quick taste of his minty and smoky lips.
He groaned because of what I did. He held my arm and forcefully separated our lips.
"Fvck Jade." he groaned.
He looked around as if staring at the people around. My chest slightly pained because of his action but that's just a piece of cake. There's much worse than this.
I chuckled. His jaw moved in a harsh way. He glared at me and saw his eyes go down into my lips. He groaned again and dragged me to the side, where there was a car and we were barely hiding.
”You naughty lady.”
His amused eyes and the ghost of a smile on his lips was I saw even in the dark. I pouted and encircled my arms to his neck, while his palm was grasping the curve of my waist. I bit my lip and touched the end of his messy hair.
"I just missed you." I uttered. Her eyes were wide, which were clear even in the dark. I don't even know why we're here.
"You wanna go inside?" he offered.
I chuckled faintly and shook my head lightly.
"I'm going home too, I just want to see you." I spoke softly.
He did not speak. He just stared at me with a serious face while I smiled sweetly at him. Did he hear how fast my heart was beating now? Because I feel like it’s going to come out throbbing, it seems like someone wants to prove it.
"Aren't you cold?" he asked seriously again and pinned me to his body.
He stroked my waist up to the side of my chest. My lips parted and I celebrated inside my head when I managed to stop the moaning. Now, his warm palms are caressing my shoulders.
"At least wear proper clothing, Jade." he uttered.
His tone was threatening. I chuckled. I'm wearing a tube and just shorts. My casual outfits.
"With that thin body, you'll get cold," he said intimidatingly.
He's right, it's the Christmas season. I don't care, it's nice because. I ignored what he said and kissed him again. I heard him chuckle again because of my desperate actions.
"Don't laugh at me. I'll try this, I've waited half of my life to feel this, Erato."
I buried my face in his chest. I felt his head on the side of my head, until I felt his face pressing against my neck. The cold breeze was unbearable as we squeezed into each other. I feel warmed, his hugs are enough for me to feel the warmth I want.
Maybe a thousand demons are already celebrating in hell because I have finally achieved my few desires. It's more than I thought. Even his embraces are so impossible for me. But here we are under the moon, hugging and giving each other warmth. We stayed in that position for a while before he broke the silence between us.
