Luna

Chapter 6

"What's wrong?" Elliot took half a second to type and sent the message. In a flash, he was gone in the room.

The old man, who was waiting for his decision a few seconds ago, blinked at the empty chair in front of him.

"I lied to my grandma and now I'm receiving my retribution T.T" Elliot, who was already on his way to the location pointed out by the tracker of her phone, read Iris' reply.

"Tell me what happened." He forced himself to calm down.

"I told my grandma that I'll bring my fiance today. And now she prepared a surprise wedding for us." She replied. After a few seconds, she sent "My imaginary boyfriend who just became my imaginary fiance is now to be my imaginary husband T.T."

Elliot momentarily stopped his track when he read her reply.

"What should I do, E?" Iris asked which resulted in a chuckle from Elliot.

"Make him a reality, then." Was his only reply.

......

Iris stayed frozen in front of the shore as she was reflecting on her life.

She was enjoying the gentle wind blowing on her face as she was contemplating on one of her life's most difficult decisions when she heard a velvety voice beside her.

"Are you alright, miss?" The voice was soft but clear that it made Iris immediately look at its source.

Standing on her side was a tall man. Iris squinted her eyes as they hurt a little because of her crying. However, she hurriedly lowered her head to hide her face when she realized how terrible her crying face was.

"I'm alright, thanks." She murmured with her face down.

The man on her side slightly furrowed his eyebrows when he saw her ignoring him after a glance.

Thus, he licked his lower lips before asking again. "Can I help you with something?"

Iris frowned a little when she heard the man talk again. Can he not see that I need space her? She thought.

"I'm fine. Thank you." She reiterated without looking at the man.

The man's lips parted slightly as he inhaled sharply at her reply. He couldn't believe that she ignored him and was annoyed by him.

Nevertheless, tenderness flashed through his eyes as he bent his knees and crouched in front of her.

"Are you sure I can't help you with anything?" He once again asked her.

Iris felt that the man moved in front of her. Thus, she got annoyed and looked up.

However, she didn't expect what she saw. A pair of dark orbs filled with allure were staring at her. A marvelous face that can only be seen in paintings and sculptures. A pair of bewitching lips that were frowning a little.

Iris was stunned.

This super handsome guy.. is he the last gift that heavens sent me before I leave this world? She thought exaggeratedly while her lips started to form a smile for seeing such a handsome guy.

Elliot waited for the girl's reply but, even after tens of seconds, all he could see was a goofy grin forming in her lips while staring at him. If he was not mistaken, he could even see a tiny sliver of saliva on the side of her mouth.

Elliot was slightly astounded but soon his eyes showed affection. However, it was gone as soon as he blinked.

"Miss?" He called her for the fourth time when Iris was startled awake.

What was I doing? Daydreaming about this super handsome guy when I'm already in deep sh*t trouble. If only I can hire this guy as my fiance.. She thought.

Soon, Iris quickly lifted up her face as if she realized something very important.

She once again examined the guy in front of her.

Dark hair, dark eyes, chiseled jawline, tall nose, sexy lips.. That's it! Iris thought as her eyes twinkled in excitement.

Elliot remained unmoving in front of her and obediently let her examine his face.

After a full two minutes, Iris briskly held his hands.

This time, Elliot's heart suffered a little shock while he looked down at her hands holding his.

Her touch was soft and warm which brought nice tingles on his chest. He wanted to return her touch but he was afraid of scaring her.

Thus, he blinked and looked up to see her lovely face as she asked him. "Will you marry me? I'll pay you well!"
