The shining morning rays woke up. I had spent the night on the balcony, on a small couch that was luckily there. To think that this was the first night I had moved in City X and had to endure all night cold because of a certain soone, worsened my mood. It was ti to get answers and compensation.
Furiously, I stomped towards the bedroom ready to break it down but to my surprise, the door was slightly opened. It seed the stranger man had already woken up. My pace slowed then walked into the bedroom without making a sound. My eyes first landed on the bed, and it was neatly made as if it was empty the whole night, and was also oddly quiet just like that silent stranger.
It was after a few minutes of searching did I realize there was no being in the bedroom. To make sure the man had left, I looked all over the house but he was nowhere to be seen. Aside from anger from earlier, I felt complicated feelings gush inside as if I had lost sothing important, but the only logical reason was that the person was too handso and had triggered my attraction towards handso guys. Yes, that was definitely it. Brushing of those thoughts, I was about to head back to my bedroom for a shower when I spotted a white paper on the table. Curiously, I took it and there were three capitalized words and two abbreviated words on it.
'SEE YOU SOON.'
A.N.
I blinked my eyes twice before rereading it again and again, but I could not find what I was looking for. An apology or much a thank you not calling the cops on him. And what did he an by seeing you soon? Was he going to crash into my penthouse again? It's not like I would mind. Who would not want such a hottie as their roommate. I bit my lower lip with the thought but then, there was one problem. His arrogance. Even though he seed like the silent one, once he opened his mouth, he could make one cough blood out of anger. Arrogant, Silent and yet Seductive. What a combination.
Staring at the paper one last ti, I folded it before disappearing back to the bedroom. I had long day ahead of . A very long one.
*************
An hour later, I was standing outside the headquarter of Morning Star Cooperations. My half face was covered with a cap and an oversized hoodie on top. Down, I had baggy blank pants and a pair of sneakers. On my hands, I was carrying two bags full of gifts to pacify soone up there. I had to because I knew it was just a matter of ti for him to discover I had co to City X though I was not allowed to.
I walked inside the building chanting self-encouraging words. As expected, I could feel strange stares on but I cared less. I glanced around before heading to the receptionist.
"Excuse , please. Is Mr. Finn Nightveil around?" I whispered to the receptionist lady, who responded with a strange look.
"Yes, he is but..."
Before she could complete, I was already walking towards the lift which I had spotted the mont I arrived. Before coming here, I had already done my research thoroughly and already knew what floor to find that person. He was the vice president of Morning Star and was therefore located on the thirty-sixth floor below the president's, whom I had never t.
Upon entering the lift, I could see the security guards trying to catch up to , but it closed before they could get in. Inside the lift, I started rehearsing my lines on how to calm the person down.
"Finn, I really missed you and was dying to see you. That's why I ran away from that damned place. Do you know how much I was tortured there... sob... Look how thin I have beco because of that stupid, sorry, I an...good teacher. Please don't send back...sob... Damn it! To hell with stupid tears, why can't they just co out when needed."
The sound of the lift opening brought back to reality before stepping out. The place was quiet with only a few busy people sitting on their desks. On my right side, I saw the office with the vice president label and a thin sweat ran down my spine. With one deep breath, I walked towards the office and knocked. A deep familiar voice resonated in my ears asking to co in.
I took light steps not making any sounds and walked in. As usual, he was buried in his papers as if they were the source of his life without a care of the outside world. I gulped ready to announce my presence but...
"You ca earlier than I expected."
I held in my breath understanding he was already expecting . What else? That stupid teacher would have already inford him I had escaped. If only I was capable enough to beat the hell out of that cold ice teacher... I shook my head to keep off any negative feelings for now. I had an important task ahead. It was ti to put my rehearsals into good use.
"Finn, I really..." But it failed.
He made a phone call and gave instructions asking the guards to turn off the security alarm. It seed I had created quite so ruckus for him to do that. I was about to continue when he beat to it.
"Don't even start with ."
I shut up and closed my eyes tightly waiting for the lecture to co but was only t with silence. Slowly, I opened my eyes only to be t with Finn's blank face. I pursed my lips and before I could utter a word, he engulfed in a light hug rubbing my hair continuously.
"Am okay, Finn. You don't need to worry anymore," I patted his back thanking the heavens for this great favor. I did not do anything and was just forgiven like that? I snuggled closer feeling my eyes tear up with emotions.
"Am just thinking what punishnt will suit you best," and there it went, my joy. My hands fell before pulling away from him. It was ti to activate my acting mode.
"Sob... Is this how to treat your little sister who have just co for your sake? First you abandoned then when I co to see you this is what I get. It's okay, I understand that you don't love anymore...sob...I'll just leave and go far away where you'll never see again. Never ever...sooooob..."
"What's with the annoying cry?" Soone entered the office and asked. But what caught my attention was the familiarity in that voice.
I turned around and my eyes went wide open while my body froze. "Mr. A.S.S?" And there stood the beautiful stranger from last night.
