"Angel..." A soft female voice called pertaining to a man with black wings.
"Angel...Angel...Angel!"
"Stop calling me that someone might hear you." The man warned but the female seemed to be so much happy seeing her lover again.
"I don't care I am proud to have a lover like you." She giggled.
"But we are not safe Aria..." The man scaredly told her while holding her cheek.
"I know that's why I want you to promise me something." The female asked a favor.
"What?"
"If my time comes I want you to never forget me." She truthfully said while tears starting to build in her eyes.
What is happening?
"Why would you say that?" The man dumbfoundedly asked out of confusion and fear.
"Because they're here."
Suddenly an army of winged people came intruding their property as I heard a man screamed out of pain and longing.
"Aria No!"
I saw how the maiden protected her lover away from the winged angels by grabbing her lover's sword and killed one of the winged leaders. As I thought it would be a happy ending she turned out to be slashed in her throat.
"Aria!"
As much as I want to help her my tears already escaped as I found myself dead lying on the floor.
*toot-toot-toot-toot*
My eyes opened in the instant when my alarm chirped in so loud. I began to gain breathing as my heart races and pounds due to an unimaginable dream I had.
I just had a nightmare!
And it scared me to death after I saw myself lying on that wooden floor with an unfamiliar man crying beside me.
I know I have a crush with a dark angel but please if that would happen to me I would probably stop fantasizing about him again.
What if that turns actually true?
No way Andrea! You gotta live, you have more taxes to pay every month so shut those thoughts of yours.
In the Sacred Hospital, I and Eric were called to an emergency meeting with Mr. Van. I'm sure we would be discussing the incoming operation of the president. I'm just so blessed to be one of the representatives in saving his life, I mean it would be an honor.
While Mr. Van is talking I took a glance from Eric who's currently very focused on listening. He must be very serious in this field that no wonder he became a famous and good doctor it's just that I didn't really know him well which made our first meeting tragic.
Well, I was a bit thankful that we met because I know I can trust him after saving me from being drunk and from Daniel of course but still I'm a bit not yet thankful since his arrogant side isn't cooperating well with me.
Just like now.
"Dr. Andrea?" Asked Mr. Van which made me startled and blinked twice seeing Eric grinning at me.
"Yes, Mr. Van?" I asked while composing myself again.
"Is there something wrong, you seem preoccupied?" Mr. Van asked which caused me to fake a laugh.
"No, no, of course, I'm just thinking about something."
"And what is it, Dr. Andrea? Is it something about the operation?"
"Yes, Uh, not exactly but yes."
"Well can you share it with us?" Mr. Van said which now caused me to double act.
He should not catch me lying.
Think of a plan Andrea, think!
"Why?"
Great question Andrea, you just put yourself in a trap.
Mr. Van blinks two times in a row while I caught Eric laughing at me. Now, what is he thinking of?! Just because he caught me staring at him doesn't mean I am thinking of him!
Wait.
I am right?
Whatever.
"I mean why? Is there anything else needed for the operation?" I quickly covered and let out a deep breath.
"Well, no I believe it's all settled we just thought that maybe you can add up a little information on how to do the operation successfully." Mr. Van explained.
Well sorry, Mr. Van I don't and if I had I should have been gone debating with Eric.
"I think Dr. Eric and I will be the one to talk about that Mr. Van since the both of us will handle the operation."
"Well then this meeting is closed I wish you both good luck." Mr. Van finished and after Eric and I left the office.
I tried to convince myself not to talk to him after making fun of me earlier but he wasn't stopping mocking me about that embarrassment I just did. So my only choice is to face him and answer his self proclaimed questions.
"Are you okay Andrea?" He asked first.
"Of course I am and why not?"
"I don't know, maybe you haven't had all the time to stare at me." He confidently says.
My mouth roundly opened with his question as I slap him in his shoulders lightly. What a humble person he is to say that?!
"How dare you! I am not staring at you I was thinking about something!"
"Thinking about me?"
"What-t n-no!" I defended.
"Then why are you so nervous?"
"I am not!"
"You could've just asked me if you want to stare at me, Andrea. I won't stop you all day." He said grinning like an i***t.
"You're definitely out of your mind Dr. you should get yourself scanned," I said and rolled my eyes at him.
But what he did next made me boil in anger after he drew closer and closer he whispered...
"You should check your temperature too, you look so red that makes me wanna think you're guilty."
"Stay away from me Eric or else."
"Or else what Andrea?"
"You wouldn't like me if I get angry Eric so get away from me!"
"What if I don't want to?" He asked now looking into my eyes.
I don't know why my hearts keep on beating fast but one thing I know for sure I am comfortable. His eyes were too hypnotizing, making me shake inside and want to feel him closer.
"Answer me." Eric demand which is now making my breath shaky.
I'm trying to search for some answers or even an exit to get away from his hold but a part of me says I should stay and wait for his next move.
Why am I feeling like this?
Andrea don't act stupid!
"Eric...I-"
"I just need your answer, Andrea." He whispered desperately.
I can feel something in his tone and aura but I don't want to assume from it. The last I encountered this was with Daniel and what I am experiencing with Eric is way far confusing to me.
"Answer me first," I said which is now his turn to have a questioning look.
"What?"
"Do you like me?" I directly asked which I caught him shocked.
"Andrea."
"Answer me and I will answer you too."
I waited for his response long enough to see if he was just joking or not but the way I see it, he is the one observing if I am serious or not.
What the hell is going on?
Do you like me, Eric?
"No, I was only joking Andrea." He backed away and then laughed at me.
I don't know what to say either but I found something inside me was a little disappointed. Was I really hoping for him to like me? I mean it's not hard to fall in love with his looks and traits but still, I have this question in me.
Have I gone forgetting Daniel?
"Andrea?" Eric called which made me to look at him out of mind.
"What?"
"The answer?"
Well if he wanna play jokes with me I think it's not bad to tag along making him nervous and confused at the same time. You will pay the price after making a prank on me Eric I swear!
I slowly lifted up a smile and look genuine with my words as he stays waiting for me to speak the answer he might not get a night of sleep.
"Why not? I mean I think hanging out you is not bad." Then I winked and left him there without any trace of lies.
HAHA!
Now I got you!
