"Are you okay?”
I have a strong hunch. Oh no, this is not just a hunch. I am a hundred percent sure.
In my past life, I was a big ugly cockroach whose miserable life ended after a spray of a lemon scented Baygon, and because of my tragic past life, the gods finally decided that in my next life, they would give me a blooming love life.
Oh well, if the prize for having a miserable past life is this handsome and hot man, I would happily be a cockroach again. This guy has very smooth skin. I should ask for his skin care routine next time. Also, his lips are so red like their begging to be kissed.
"Miss?"
He helped me stand up straight while his forehead creased. I tried to move my face towards his to steal a kiss when he immediately pushed my forehead with his forefinger.
"What’s your problem?"
Oh-uh. His already creased forehead creased more while glaring at me.
"Oh no…. I am sorry. I got caught up the moment."
I answered while smiling awkwardly. I told him the truth! His lips are so inviting, and I lost my mind for a second. I can almost imagine him kissing me. I think he is good at kissing. Hmmmm, his girlfriend must be so lucky. Lucky me, he is single now according to his management. I really took time to do research about him before I decided to flirt. I may be a b***h, but I am not a slut and I don’t steal other people’s boyfriends.
"Whatever. I need to go now. And can you not run, please. You’re too danger-loving.”
His forehead still creased then turn his back at me to walk away. Hayst, this hot confusing man! He asked then to turn his back? How am I supposed to answer him? I tug his left arm to force him to look at me. When I felt the sparks, I immediately knew. We are meant to be.
"Wait! Why are you rushing like you’re being chase?”
I tried smiling widely but this brute cannot even change his blank expression.
"Miss," he said clenching his jaw. "You look like you have a lot of time in your hands, but I have a lot of things to do so will you please let go of me?" Hmm……no.
"How about your suit?" I refused to let go of him.
"Keep it," he answered while removing my grip in his arm. "I have hundreds of them," he succeeded in removing my grip in his arm.
"Keep it?! What would I do with it when I do not even have anything to pair it with? If you really do not want it back anymore, why don’t you just give me the slacks so the package would be complete?” I tried to joke around while looking intently at him.
"What?! Are you out of your mind?"
He looked so confused and furious at the same time. I tried stifling my laugh while looking at him so stressed and frustrated.
"Fine. Bring it on Saturday," he finally recoiled.
"Okay, so where will we meet on Saturday?" I look at him with hopeful eyes.
"Here. Where do you think?" can’t we meet in his house instead? I laughed in my mind.
"We have weekly evaluations every Saturday, so I might be busy that day. What if we fail to meet? I'm free on Sundays though," come on babe! Take the hint and ask me out already!
"You know what Miss, I don--"
"Erina. My name is Erina," I cut him off.
"Fine. Erina, I don't need the suit. As I've said earlier, I have a lot of spare. Just bring the suit, put it in your locker or something and give it to me when we both have time, okay?" he slowly explained like he’s talking to a child.
"How about.... hmm, I'll just message you! I'll tell you when I'm free and we'll see if our free time matches, okay?" I smilingly told him while slowly walking away. My happiness for today is over the top already. My day is already made!
"Silas Oppa....." I turned around when I remembered something. He looked at me with questioning eyes.
"See you on Saturday or better.... see you in my dreams."
I winked at him then left him there still shocked at what I said.
The days passed by quickly. We had a group photoshoot on Thursday for a campaign on women empowerment and on Friday, I attended an event hosted by Chanel as I am one of their brand ambassadors. The new product designs for Chanel's newest bag collections were delivered in the house. I checked everything and I asked the girls if they want something.
Kesha got the Black, Velvet and Gold tone-metal classic handbag while Leina chose the metallic gold one with the same design. Raqi, as expected, picked the baby pink velvet flap bag. Even though she tries so hard to be boyish, her girly side still shows. Sassy chose the gold-tone KissLock bag and even ask for another one, so I handed her the black classic handbag. I also chose bags for Raqi’s mom since her birthday’s coming up.
After they have chosen everything they like, they helped me to transfer the bags in my walk-in closet. I chose three bags for myself. Those with the best designs. I'll just take pictures with all the bags for the endorsements then I’ll send them to Lara so that Dad won’t have to buy her new ones.
I've been doing this every time the brands I endorse send me gifts. I already have a lot of things and my closet is close to its limits already. I don’t even use the things I have often because the company provides our set of clothing for performances and interviews. I might probably use them when I travel.
After fixing my things, Leina called me for dinner. We decided to treat ourselves today, so they ordered Bulgogi in our favorite restaurant. We wrap the thinly sliced beef in lettuce and added gochujang, a spicy red pepper paste, to taste. We took so long eating because of the stories and they have also made me tell them what happen when I followed Silas in the bathroom.
"I just noticed that you and Silas always meet in bathrooms. I wouldn’t be surprise if your first date is inside the bathroom,” Kesha teased.
"Bathroom couple," Leina added.
"Bathroom Queen," Raqi said.
"Such an awkward name for a couple and smelly too," Sassy joined the teasing team.
"Fine, next time, we’ll meet in the bedroom, so you’ll all be satisfied," I said jokingly which made us all laugh.
"Slut!" they answered in chorus.
