FVCK UP LOVE
CHAPTER TWO
Emery Austin's POV
I chose to stay beside the glass window after we ate. Not a bad dinner, indeed. That delicate guy remained in the dining area, probably cleaning.
I looked outside the room, particularly at the cars and people that were moving freely. What a busy street and an exciting nightlife. I shook my head. I should be doing bar hoping at this moment instead of being contained in a room with a stranger.
"Did you enjoy our dinner?" Speaking of the stranger, here he is, standing close to me.
"Not really," I plainly said. Actually, my initial plan was to ignore him, but because of the food that he cooked, I felt like I had to talk to him by force.
"At our next dinner, rest assured that you will surely enjoy it."
I rolled my eyes, so he was still planning for the next dinner. He might be thinking that I will fall again into his trap. Heads up, I am wiser now. I already know the golden rule.
"What do you want to do, Miss Austin? The night is still long," he said.
"Sleep," I quickly answered. At least I answered right? And besides, I can’t do anything now, unless they open the door and set me free.
"Can you give me a little time and listen to me?"
I looked at him. He looked so serious. I raised my eyebrows.
"Spill it." Maybe he has something important to say. Let us give him a chance for the sake of the food that I just ate.
"The first time I met you, I knew it was love at first sight." His gaze was fixed on the glass window wherein a reflection of us being together could be seen.
I am just looking at him. It seems like he has a lot of topics in mind.
"There is something in you that keeps me drowning. That something is still a mystery to me now. I want to know what it is. I want to discover it by myself. Of course, I am not forcing nor asking you to cooperate... I wish you to cooperate. "
I raised my eyebrows again and asked.
"When was the first time you saw me?" He was speaking as if we had known each other for a very long time, drowning my feet.
"Just yesterday."
"Are you out of your mind? Who would have fallen or even drowned on someone they had just met?"
He suddenly gave me a hopeful look.
"That’s why I want to discover it, right?"
"Whatever," In all honesty, he is far from my ideal guy. He is not the type of guy I get along with. He looked so plain, I mean he looked so boring, far from being wild, liberated, and adventurous, which I like. And not just that, who would have crushed back someone who ruined your first meeting?
"Is it okay to ask you something, Emery?"
I rolled my eyes. Why am I wasting my time on someone like him anyway?
"What is your favorite dish?"
I sighed. I didn’t want to answer him. He might use it to capture my sense of taste.
"Just forget that, I asked. Next time, I will just bring you something to eat. By the way, can I go to your unit tomorrow?"
I narrowed my eyes. Well, this guy is really something.
"What about no?" I seriously said, then he pouted. Like? Childish! Pathetic! Trying to be cute!
"I can be your personal chef, Emery." Now his eyes are full of courage.
"No," I am firm in my decision.
"I can also be your maid. I can clean your room, I can wash the dishes, wash your clothes, water the plants, do everything you want me to do. "
"My answer is still no!"
"Please, Emery!"
"No!"
"Emery... Emery... Emery."
I paused for a while, then leaned closer to him.
"Why are you so disturbing?"
Because, aside from having a crush on you, part of it is that I want to know more about you.
"Know about you! My feet!"
Then I walked away.
I was on my way to the comfort room when I realized that he was following me.
"Don’t try to follow me or else I will punch you."
"Golden rule, Emery."
"Argggghhh!"
I immediately slammed the door, leaving him outside of the comfort room. That guy ruined my day! And seriously, I want to beat him! I was even dragged by myself here in the comfort room just to get away from him.
I closed my eyes. Such a long, tiring, and irritating day!
A few seconds later, an unknown number flashed on my screen. I answered the call. Little did I realize that it was Vince who was calling me. It is not my trait to save anyone’s phone number. This time, I recognized the caller by his voice.
"Yes, Vince?"
"Where are you, Emery? I am here. Same place, same time, same seat. "
Vince is one of the strangers I got along with just recently. Just a few days ago? I think. He offered me a drink while I was enjoying myself at one of the bars I used to go to. I accepted what he offered. And as the night fell even darker, what he offered ended up not only with a drink but with his body as well.
We have exchanged numbers as we have exchanged the pleasure brought by the mere fact that we are both attracted to lust. More and more, the night should have been night, but not tonight.
"I can’t make it tonight, Vince. I will try to call you tomorrow."
"Why? Are you with somebody?"
"No, I am not."
"I will wait for you at my unit. I will send you my passcode."
I bit my lower lip. Oh, how will I escape from here?
"Emery? Are you still there?"
"Yes, Vince."
"I will wait for you."
Then I ended the call.
I opened the door and was shocked to see his face again. I thought he had already left. Is he eavesdropping?
"Who is Vince?" that delicate guy asked.
"None of your business. I need to get out of here."
"What are you planning to do?"
"Stop asking questions as if we are close."
He stopped for a while. Good. Maybe he just realized what I was trying to say.
I went to the veranda. I am estimating if I can pass through the railing.
I was about to hold the railing when suddenly that delicate guy hugged me.
A hug that made me freeze.
