ἀγάπη

I just republish the chapter. I don't know why it's not in sequence before😅.

Three months later

"Mix, tomorrow at 7, your number one client, Joss". Mild, the one in charge of their client told Mix. Mix just nods his head and sighs after Mild is gone. Mix's been thinking about him for the past month. Not Joss, his driver, Earth. That man is such an enigma to Mix. His words linger on Mix's mind and sometimes he finds himself smiling when he remembers it. "like you".

˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚

Mix got ready as usual and saw the familiar jet black Rolls Royce. When he comes closer, someone steps outside the driver seat. Someone that he never met.

"Mr Mix right? I'm Luke, Mr Joss' new driver." Luke spoke as he opened the back door.

"Where's the old driver?" Mix asked as soon as Luke took a seat in the driver seat.

"He quit last month"

"Why?". Mix asks eagerly.

"Ermm, I'm not sure. Mr Joss quite upset, he's been working as his driver for almost 7 years"

Mix didn't say anything after that, his eyes travelled outside the window and felt like his heart tugged.

˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚

Mix woke up as usual but Joss was nowhere on his bed. Mix then heard a voice of people fighting from outside so he grabbed his clothes and wore them.

"HOW COULD YOU ASK ME TO GET AN ABORTION. IT'S YOUR CHILD" She stopped her words when she saw Mix on the stairs.

"FUCK YOU" She spat and took her belonging before she walked outside the door. Joss pinch his head and turn to Mix.

"Are you leaving? Sorry for all the fuss". Joss walked towards Mix and pulled him into his embrace.

"Thank you for last night". Joss let him go and walked upstairs.

Mix hopes this is the last time he met Joss.
Mix went outside and saw Joss gardener.

"Good morning uncle"

"You are the only person Mr Joss brought that greets me every morning. Good morning to you too." Mix smiles at him but before he walks away the gardener stops him.

"I got something for you. He told me to give it to you if you ever come here next time. Luckily you came. I have kept this for almost a month" He turned and picked his bag on the chair before he took a small box from it. He gave the box to Mix.

"What.. this?" Mix asked him.

"It's from the old driver. Earth". Mix is stunned and looks at the box before he takes it from the gardener.

˚˙༓࿇༓˙˚

Mix lying on his bed after taking a shower. His hand fondled the box given by Joss gardener. Mix is surprised when the uncle says it's from Earth. Why did Earth give him this thing?. Mix open the box and find a small red box and a folded paper inside. Mix takes the folded paper and opens it. It seems like a letter.

Dear Mix,

I'm not sure whether this letter will get in your hand but I hope so. I have something to tell you. You must feel weird why I'm giving you this letter.
Mix, I have been working as Joss driver for the past seven years. I met and drove a lot of his night companion to his beach house. A lot. Joss always has a type, fair skin, doe eye, and a beautiful smile. Be it boys or girls but none of them matter to me. Until you. My heart shakes at the first sight of you walking towards me. You are so mesmerising. It may sound corny and unlogical to you but that's the truth. The first time I drove, you asked me to stop the car, why? Because you want to feed the stray cat when you see one. You ask me to roll down the window so you could give the money towards the kids selling food at the traffic light.
You are the first person ever asked me to do so.
I did not speak much to you because I'm honestly afraid. I'm afraid of falling for you. But guess what? I already did. I didn't know when or why, I just did. I notice you always smiling watching the sunrise from inside the car. That's why I asked you last time if you want to see it. You said you want to and asked me to come with you. My heart is almost bursting with happiness. You had no idea how bad I wanted to kiss you when you were smiling at me. I don't think I could be Joss driver anymore. The last time he's in the backseat with you, I'm almost going insane. I don't give a fuck in whatever Joss want to do with his companion before but when he do it with you. Fuck. I never wanted to hurt someone so badly.
You said you lost your anklet right? I bought you a new one as a gift.
I may sound creepy and like a stalker to you now but I didn't mean any harm. I swear. I just want to tell you that I love you. I love you so much. I'm going to remember every second of the ten hours I spend driving for you for the rest of my life. I hope in another place, time and universe, you were beside me watching the sunrise every morning.

Earth.

By the time Mix finished reading his letter, his hand was shaking so badly. He read every word carefully. Mix didn't realise that he's crying until his tears dropped to the letter. Never in a million years Mix thought he would receive a letter like this from Earth. Mix took the red box and saw a silver anklet inside. He felt so warm inside because of the gift and letter. Nobody ever told him things like this.

Mix felt his heart clench at the thought of he probably will never meet Earth ever again. Mix finally broke into a loud cry.
