Chapter 6: No escape
Today class ended and we need to go to Daniels place for the start of the tutoring session set by Vienna. Why did I agree to this? I have no choice! That’s the reason… Right, that’s the only reason.
Vienna phones rang. Hey babe! We will be there in just a minute.
Vienna told me that we need to hurry so Daniel will not wait that long.
Okay! Coming Cinderella… Don’t let your prince charming wait for you that long. I just replied teasing her.
When we arrive in the parking I saw Daniel and Ace talking with each other. The guys both leaning in each car. Maybe that’s the car of Ace. It’s luxurious! Just I exclaim in my mind.
Both of them look in our direction. They notice that we are going to them.
Hey Babe! Vienna hug Daniel and give him a kiss. I just rolled my eyes. And said… PDA… Just to tease them. But Vienna replied. You need to have a boyfriend Bo so you will feel the same way that I do. Then she laughs teasingly.
Whatever! I just said. So we better go now. Time is gold.
I will open the door for the backseat when Vienna restrain me to get in the car.
Bo!
Yes?
You will accompany Ace in his car going to Daniels place.
I shut the door and go near to Vienna to say something.
What?! No way Bo.
You should be Bo! She said and pinch my hand.
I will not eat you don’t worry? I heard Ace speaking to me and then he laugh. Daniel also laugh. And so Vienna
Seriously… Grrr… I am not saying anything like that.
I rolled my eyes and walk towards his car.
Get in my Queen… He said teasingly. Ace open the car door, for me to get in.
For me those words mean a lot. But for him it is like a joke. Am I expecting anything behind those words… Nahh.. Yeah… Nope… My mind talking and battling like there’s two bees quarreling. I get in then try to sit comfortably. Ace shut the door.
Hey Ace! Vienna call me.
Be careful to my Bo.
She is in a good hand! I said and wink. Daniel raise his fist and we do fist bomb. You know what to do man. I believe in you.
This day will end with a good news Niel.
Good luck bro. He said to me then I get in the car.
I breathe heavily before I open the door and get in.
Hey! So let’s go.
Okay! Just follow them closely.
Are you not happy with me as your driver my queen?
Nah! Are you kidding me. Of course not. I am so happy then I smirk. But honestly deep inside. I feel butterflies in my stomach.
It is the new look of happiness then. He said then laugh.
I look at him and he looks pretty good even when he laugh. I laugh also then I talk to him nicely now just to ease the tension that I am feeling. We talk to each other even I know it is just nonsense. Just talking anything just to occupied the silence.
So how long do you know Vienna?
Since birth.
Really?
Yeah. My mother and her mother is BFF and we follow their footsteps.
Then why i didn't see you before?
I didn't see you before neither? Maybe we are in different time and space. Then i laugh.
Maybe that's true coz the first time i saw you. You are falling from the stairs of heaven. Then he laugh.
I frown and feel ashamed remembering that incident. My face turns red. Then i said I'm sorry and thank you again.
It's okay. Don't be ashamed. It's my pleasure to catch you my Queen.
Then he laugh.
Change topic, i feel so embarrased.
Okay! Then can i ask you something?
Sure!
Do you have a ....?
Oh no!!!. She cover her face out of fear.
I instantly do the break and at the same stretch my arms to protect her. I blocked my arms for her so she will not bump in the car front shield. Are you okay?
She remove her hand to her face then said yes. She notice my arms in front of her. She look at it. Then say... Thank you.
Are you sure you are okay?
Yeah. I was just shocked awhile ago but I am okay promise. Then i smile to him.
Someone cut the line. Sorry I did not saw that bastard.
That's okay it's not your fault.
Are you sure you're okay? Just tell me if you need cpr to breathe. I can help you.
I laugh.
You are a funny person Ace.
Not that much.
Let's go now Ace.
Okay!
We arrive safely at the parking lot of Daniels condo.
He park the car then hastily get out of the car to open the door for me.
My legs still shaking because of the incident that happen awhile ago.
But i need to get out of his car.
When i got out of his car. I still feel that my legs is shaking and i lose balance. I reach him so I will not fall to the ground that cause of hugging him and kissing him.
My world stops. My breath stop in a moment. We staring with each other. His lips touches mine.
So fast bro! I heard a voice which is belong to Daniel.
I instantly push Ace. It's not like that! My legs is shaking that's why i lose my balance.And blah blah blah blah... Explaining and explaining.
Your face is red as an apple. Vienna tease.
Gosh! It's not like that... Really Bo...
Oh! I believe you. Then Vienna and Daniel laugh at the same time.
We saw the car that cut your line.
I am so glad nothing happen.
Let's get in... Daniel said.
Inside Daniels unit i have no courage to look to Ace. I feel so embarrased for what just happened. And reminding that it send a thousands volts to my system.
But to be honest. I really like the feeling. It's a feeling that i wanted for so long. His lips is so soft and his scent. Oh no.. How i wish I can touch that lips again by mine.
Though i am not looking to Ace. I can feel that his looking at me. He also become quiet which makes me shiver. But i need to control it. It makes me dump if i will let myself affected by just accidental kiss.
I know that kiss will not mean anything to him. His Ace... As Vienna said. His the most attractive man in the university. Almost all the girls wanted his attention. And to name some. He don't need to exert effort. Girls will always initiate to be with Ace.
