Desperately into you

CHAPTER 48

Every time we wish to prolong the time. To run slower, to slow down. It was also the time that does the opposite and if we wish the other way around then the opposites of that occur too.

Just like that night, my heart was filled with happiness. It was the best night of my life and it was the best gift I have ever received on my birthday.

But that night, he has to go back to Seattle and I understand that it’s not as if he was committed to me and it’s not that I’m his obligation. But, I admit… I felt a bit down when he flew back home.

Monday morning, I was sitting on my bed quietly while staring at the oblivion blankly, recalling what had happened on my birthday, I could still remember it so well, it was so vivid, and that’s the reason why I’m smiling creepily like stupid here all alone. Early morning and he’s already running on your mind KC!...

Maybe Viel cast something on me!...

I bit my lower lip as I reach for the necklace that I was wearing, a necklace… from Viel Conrad Bandini the grumpy!

I shook my head with that thought. I looked at the necklace pendant which I really love, It was a gold plane pendant, I was already amazed by it last night but staring at this closely right now makes me like it even more. Of course, it was from Viel… so,

When we left the garden I insist to walked him until we were in front of his car, last night. And he just let me.

I throw my lazy and unresponsive body on my comfy bed as I hug my soft pillow. I’m already missing him!

I know I’m just a friend to him and he was just like that, treating me good it’s because we’re friends. He may be cold and always in a serious mood but I know that he’s nice.

You find him nice in any way though,

My inner voice interrupted.

And also, his father was the very best friend of my father so, I think that’s why he was a bit good to me. It’s not that I’m saying he’s bad, It’s just that, he’s always cold and unattentive especially when he’s not really interested. That’s one of his sides.

I sat on my bed again, I was wearing a white long-sleeve dress ‘cause it was so comfortable and I paired it with black panty shorts. My hair was messy and I don’t care, It was still 7:01 in the morning.

I was interrupted by a knock on my door, I know already who it is.

“Yes, Melinda?” I asked lazily with my voice slightly hoarse voice.

‘’ Good morning, young lady… Uhm, Madame Alora said you come to her office.” Melinda said politely before she opened that door since I told her it was not locked. My brows furrowed, what is it again this time? And it was early at this hour but she was already in her office?... so probably daddy was already back to work too just like my mom. There are no guests who stayed here last night anyway, so today they’re all back to their usual routines and work.

“Melinda, tell her that I’m not feeling well and I’m still sleepy, okay? Go now…” I stated before I closed my eyes, I don’t really want to leave my bed! And I’m not yet hungry too.

I saw how Melinda slightly pouted and she nodded at me afterward. She turned her back and silently stormed out of my room.

Just after a few minutes, I receive a call. I reached for my phone and look who was calling.

Oh, it was Crisha. Last night I know I was busy with someone but I know she enjoyed the company of Olivia and Luna, and also of Simon and Shawn since both of them are cute, the criteria of a guy she likes. So I don’t worry much that we didn’t spend time chit-chattering longer last night.

“Yes, Crisha?” I said and yawned. Why they’re damn up so early today?! Well, it’s not really that early… but I’m just not in the mood because I just want to lie here all my time for today.

“Good morning too, KC” Crisha sneered on the other line. I just roll my eyeballs.

“Mornin’… why did you call? Is there something that happened?” I asked.

I heard her giggles on the other line.

“Nothing, I just wanna check on you” She answered. But I’m not convinced by her tone and I know that even though I can’t see her, I know she’s grinning right now.

“Uh-huh? I-I’m fine Crisha, why?’’ I asked confused. I know that she won’t just call for nothing, there must be other reasons.

“Hmm, I saw you two last night! For god sake KC! You didn’t tell me that you have a boyfriend that rich and hot as hell!... Oh my god, it hurts!” She burst out dramatically but I could hear her gigglings after.

My face crumpled, Heck? Is she referring to Viel?

“What? I don’t have a Boyfriend Crisha, you must be drowsy, you better go back to sleep.”

I said casually and in a very lazy way.

“What? Excuse me, I saw you two last night! You two were staring at each other as if you own the f*****g world that only you two exist!”

She said eagerly. Oh, that’s so dramatic.

My eyes widen, did she follow us in the garden last night?

“Y-you saw us--- “she immediately cut me off.

“Of course! You two were in front of his car talking like something ---” Crisha suddenly stopped as if she realized something. “Oh my god! Did you already give up your V?!” She asked hysterically which make me sigh and roll my eyes even if she can’t see me.

“What the hell Crisha?!” I massaged my temple, early in the morning yet my head was already aching right before starting a peaceful day… She’s imagining early in the morning.

‘’What?” She snapped back.

“He’s not my boyfriend Crish, so shut up” I simply answered.

‘’Oh? Really huh? Damn! I heard that Simon was his cousin, and I find Simon cute and also Shawn, but damn…! Your boyfriend was just so damn beyond!” She still assumed that Viel was my boyfriend.

I wish though,

“He was the only heir of Bandinis right? I haven’t really seen him in person since he was a busy person and always missing in action but I already heard his name before from girls” Crisha continued.

‘’Uh-huh,” I answered shortly while she was alive on the other line.

“Anyways, are you sure that he’s not your boyfriend? I don’t buy that Kc! Don’t me.” She hissed. “He’s perfect for you! He’s so hot KC! Open your eyes and make him your boyfriend as soon as possible! And you know what? he’s older than you so probably he’s very expert when it comes… to you know….” She didn’t finish what she said and I heard her giggles.

“Expert? What?” I asked confused.

“Bed, KC! He looks so wild in bed!’’ She naughtily laughed on the other line.

I shook my head and let out a weak laugh too… well, I know that.
