Be With Me

Chapter 7

A smirk carved on Cris Yoon's face the moment he heard him utter those words.

He lifted Kelvin's chin with his cool finger and said. "So that you can pay for the damage of my car?" he asked, and his voice sounded dangerous again.

"That is… an extra benefit. This was an accident caused by me and I don't have the money to pay you. And… and I really don't want to go to jail."

"So, if I tell you that I forgive you and you don't need to pay for anything, you won't offer yourself like this again?"

Kelvin was surprised but he was quick to realize that this was probably a 'what if' scenario Cris was describing. Could he be testing Kelvin's resolve?

Kelvin tried to search for something in Cris eyes, trying to see if he was serious or just kidding but Kelvin couldn't fathom anything from those cold and deep eyes of his.

It was just impossible to decipher his expressions that all Kelvin could rely on was his gut feelings. Kelvin didn't know why but he just felt like there was both interest and disapproval coming from Cris as he spoke to him.

"If you forgive me, I'd really really appreciate it. But I'd still want to be your contract lover." Kelvin didn't falter and still insisted on what he wanted.

Cris Yoon was speechless for a while. To him, this young man was simply intriguing. There were countless woman and man who wanted him but once he turned them down, and sent them away, they just left him alone like they were scared little bunnies.

He knew they were scared of him. All of his lovers had always been fearful of him even though they tried to deny it. He could just sense the fear at the bottom of their hearts, and yet, this boy was… he wondered how long his fearlessness would last if he…

"Tell me, little lamb, why do you want to be my lover that badly?" he asked, his eyes probing.

"Why? Why can't I?" he just shrugged innocently. "Tell me, Mr. Yoon, why are you resisting me that badly?"

"Pfft! Hahaha, nice comeback, Kelvin." The man behind the car was grinning widely as he butted in, watching them with great interest.

But the two were so focused on each other that they didn't even seem to hear the third wheel's voice across them.

"I don't understand why you are refusing to try me, Mr. Yoon. I am not an actress like Mr. Song but I know I don't look that bad compared to him." Kelvin bravely said. He was speaking to him so confidently even though deep within, he was the one who was actually surprised by his actions the most.

Perhaps, the almost outrageous praises he was always receiving from his family and Leslie about how breathtaking beautiful he was, had boosted his confidence? He didn't know. Kelvin really had no idea that he could even talk like this. Since meeting this man, he just kept on doing things he had never done before.

At that moment, the man just stared at Kelvin, his eyes unreadable as he continued to gaze with probing intensity into his eyes and then a soft, enchanting chuckle left his mouth. Kelvin kept his eyes on Cris and noted that his laughter didn't reach his eyes.

He leaned in on her, not breaking their eye contact. His enchanting face loomed closer, so close that his breath drifted over Kelvin's face, leaving him dumbstruck.

"Kelvin Faustino…" he uttered his complete name. "You're right… I remember when you said you'll show me how attractive you can be. I might as well give you a chance to at least prove yourself." He smirked wickedly. His fingers playing with his trademark red scarf once again before he leaned away.

No matter how Kelvin tried, he just couldn't read anything from him at all; his wicked smirks, his enchanting chuckles, his beautiful icy eyes – they were not giving anything away, not even a tiny glimpse of his thoughts.

Somehow, Kelvin managed to react immediately, not letting his spell bind his heart and mind completely.

"Mm. I'll show you." Kelvin said, his chin pointed upwards confidently, showing him all of his intensity and determination, causing Cris Yoon to chuckle again.

"Okay, you go back in your car now, daredevil little lamb or you'll cause another accident by leaving your car in the middle of the road like that." He finally released Kelvin from the force of his gaze as he looked at his abandoned car.

"Oops!" Kelvin gasped and he quickly moved like nothing had just happened. He was reacting normally again but before Kelvin could opened his car door, he suddenly paused and looked back.

"Uhm wait, how about…" Kelvin trailed off. It was because the luxurious car was already back on the road. It appeared that the car was still working, with Mr. Black leather jacket behind the wheel this time .

"Are you sure your car can manage to send you home?" Kelvin asked and Mr. Black Leather jacket half-smiled at him.

"Don't worry, Kelvin, this car is tough." he said loudly and Kelvin could only blink.

He then returned his gaze towards Cris Yoon and when Kelvin saw that he had begun walking towards the black car, Kelvin ran after him. "Wait, please give me your number." he said, pinching a little portion of his coat and tugging it.

The man didn't turn to look at Kelvin but Cris lifted his hand, silently asking for his phone.

Kelvin quickly gave his phone to him and in a short while, he gave it back, still not turning to look at his face. Kelvin stared at his number and dialed it.

The man quietly brought out his phone and showed him its screen.

"I'll send you a message of where and when," he uttered and then left...

Kelvin just looked at the car till it completely vanished from his sight still contemplating on what just happened...
