Desperately into you

CHAPTER 11

"What now, KC?" I raised my eyebrow when I heard Chrisha's voice, we're in the coffeehouse

this is one of our favorite places whenever we want to grab some coffee.

" What now?" I repeated, we've been sitting here for an hour now and I think both of our energy and silly thoughts don't want to come out.

It was late in the afternoon when I heard my phone beep when I was lying on my bed, I saw her text that she was here so I come here to join her.

"Ahh, this is so boring," she mumbled and rest her back on the chair and took a drink of her Iced tea, while I ordered an Iced coffee.

I rested my elbow on the table and she did the same too,

"How about--" before she could finish what she was about to say I cut her by shaking my head,

" I'm not in the mood to get wasted tonight, Chrisha" I can't go even if I want to though, though I'm heavily guarded by my dad's men! I hate it after Viel leaves the mansion dad decided to proceed with his conferences that were supposed to be

canceled today and he makes sure that I won't go somewhere without him knowing my whereabouts, Dad knows me well, and my mom. My mom constantly reminds me that I'm just 16 and I can't just freely lurk around unguarded. We're wealthy and the disadvantage of being wealthy is that threats and dangers are always following our shadows.

I looked at Chrisha and back to my Iced coffee. her mouth formed into O while looking at me in disbelief and then she leaned forward and suddenly lift her right hand to place the back of her hand on my forehead like people usually do to check someone's temperature.

My forehead creases, I tapped her hands away

"hey, hands-off, what are you doing?" I sneered at her.

" Are you okay? this is the first time you decline, wow!" she mocked in disbelief, I rolled my eyes at her and chuckled.

''Whatever, Chrisha." she's right though, this is my first time to say no and that's crazy 'cause we're a party goer so this is really unusual.

I was checking my phone. Well, I tried to search Viel on IG but I couldn't find him, don't tell me he doesn't have one? I keep on scrolling down when I felt Chrisha's poking my arms so I looked at her

my forehead knotted when I saw her grinning widely.

"What?" I looked at her with astonishment but her eyes are glued in the other direction.

" Oh my gosh, look, look" She's giggling while tapping my hands, '' oh my gosh! he's approaching! such a cutie." So? I facepalm and lazily turn my head to look who's Chrisha looking at.

I saw a blonde guy striding in our direction, and his smile widens when he saw me looking at him,

okay? what's wrong with this guy?

I turned to look at Chrisha, tss.. this girl is into cute guys and she's activated right now. I silently grunted.

'' Do you know him?" I asked her even though it was obvious that she can't hear me, what's wrong with these people today?

"Hi girls!" The guy finally reached our table and he was smiling showing his white set of teeth, but seriously I don't even know this one.

"Hii!" Crisha greeted back lively. I hold myself to let out a chuckle 'cause she's obviously crushing this guy. Then the guy turned to look at me, I didn't greet him nor smile at him, we're not close and I don't know him anyway, oh but he somewhat looks familiar.

''Told yah! I knew it, it's you!" He said while smiling at me, I noticed that he was holding a cappuccino in his hand.

Chrisha looked at me questioningly.

" What?" I asked him. I don't recognize him if ever we've met already.

"Ohh, maybe you don't remember me, I didn't have formally introduced myself in our first encounter though," He said while scratching the back of his nape. "Anyways, It's Simon, you're the girl on Uncle's birthday right? Simon Johnson, nice to meet you." He said while smiling sweetly at me then he extended his hand for a handshake but instead I slightly tapped it like a high five which earned a laugh from him. After that, I give my attention back to my phone again and I saw him extend his hand for Crisha too which the latter immediately reached while wearing a wide grin and she introduced her name.

I slightly shook my head. This girl.

" If you don't mind, can I join?" I heard him ask and I know he look in my direction but I'm too busy searching for Viel's IG account, unfortunately, I think I guess right. He doesn't have one. Well, what should I expect from that frosty? geez.

" Yeah, sure! here" I heard Chrisha answer. I caught her pointing to the vacant chair near her. nice one Crish.

"Ohh, thanks''

" My friend here didn't tell me that you two already met," Crisha raised her brows at me when I looked at her.

I just shrugged, and face my phone again. How can I tell her if I myself don't remember and of course, it's not important at all.

" Ahm, yeah I first saather at the party, it was my uncle's birthday, so, " I heard him answer Crisha

but wait what?

I lift my head from my phone to look at them,

''Uncle?" as far as I remember, I only attended Mr. Bandini's Birthday party, and-- I stopped for a moment when I already remembered him, Oh, so he's the guy who blocked my way that night? that's why he's familiar.

I looked at him, I become interested.

"Yes, Uncle Boromeo" He answered while smiling at me, there's that flirty smile again, hmm.. but it won't work on me, probably it may, to Crisha. I glance at my best friend who is looking at him dreamily as she sips on her Iced tea.

I smile, ohh this is great, Mr. Bandini is his uncle so it means he's close to Viel?

" I see," I nodded. I was about to ask him if he's close with Viel but I remember that my best friend is here, I don't want to be showered with questions, so maybe I'll ask him the other time.

I just want to know more about Viel, that's it. he's a mysterious guy for me that's very hard to read and maybe the first man that never gets swayed by my beauty, It's not that I'm bragging about my appearance, it's just that he's the first man who didn't look at me with admiration in his eyes like others did.

'' Simon, do you have a girlfriend?" this time I let out a soft chuckle when I heard Crisha's question.

maybe she's dying to ask about that since earlier and she finally got the chance to ask now.

" No, I have no one," He answered then afterward he looks at me.

He has no one, so definitely he has five.

I caught my friend giving me a knowing look

as if she's saying like 'this is it' which made me roll my eyes at her.

" How about you, KC? do you have a boyfriend?" Simon asked. He got my name from Crisha.

" It does not interest me," I answered, which made Crisha chuckle, well, that's a half-lie

because I'm currently interested in someone right now.That frosty guy.
