Minutes later and the car stop, he finally arrived

Some people turned their heads towards the luxurious car that just arrived. pondering who might be the person with curiosity.

From the sedan, two bodyguard's came out. And after them, a man dressed in an all black followed suit.

As the man stepped towards the building, The two bodyguard's stayed outside.

Perhaps because of his beautiful appearance, a wave of murmurs swept through the crowd.

But the man didn't seem to notice the crowd's reaction, due to

His heart that was now pounding so hard, and he found himself getting more nervous

His palm felt clammy, whilst staring at the tall building that stood in front of him covered with glass.

With fist balled "You can do this!" attempting to lift his spirits, but he could tell it wasn't working. The man heaved a deep sigh,

He put on a smile, as he strode towards the glass door. Upon entering, he was greeted by the staff

He politely greeted them back and state his business.

The staff went a little further to called someone, several times she nodded her head to the person she was talking to,

While he on the other hand patiently awaits for the call to end, before she put down the telephone.

and after a while she came in a smile "Right, this way sir."

He nodded and turned followed suit, behind her. Entering the elevator she pressed the button for the top floor

And a few minutes later, the lift finally stopped. the elevator dinged open. Upon reaching the top floor,

They soon walk through the long hallway as he kept looking around, We passed six doors until they finally stopped at the seventh.

the door was huge and the woman open it to let me in, He was standing inside the room, eyes scanning around. it's actually bigger on the inside than on the outside.

The room has minimal furniture and lots of space. It was huge with a sitting room of some sort, and also a mini bar by the bay windows.

But he wondered why there was no one, the woman seemed to notice it. "Mr. Sanchez should be here any moment, He said that he just had a meeting, so he would probably came a few minutes late."

he nodded his head in understanding." Do you need anything else, sir?" She politely asked. The man shook his head "nothing, thank you." and expressed his gratitude.

The woman bowed slightly before exiting. After she left,

He plopped down in a chair, leaning back , he let out a deep breath and closed his eyes. Letting his thoughts fly away.

In the span of three days, he haven't talked to any of them yet, maybe they are all worried. Especially, Tita Sandra, my friends, Eli and Blair.

He frown, My grandfather took my phone so I couldn't contact them, I couldn't go out because of that damn bodyguards my Lolo sent me. Who is always watching his every movements.

However, his frown turn into a smile. When, a face of a particular person flashed in his memory. Siya kaya nag-aalala sakin? Iniisip niya kaya ako? I shake my head at the thought.

He needed something to divert his attention. opening his eyes

He stood up, and moved closer eyes settled towards the mini bar, scanning the shelves. " .. I need a strong one ..." he mumbled looking throughout every bottle.

It took him a few minutes to find it. .. And when he did, He reached out a bottle of brown liquor and grabbed a shot glass.

Sat on a stool to poured a shot for himself and drank it. The liquor leave's a burning sensation to his throat, making his face grimaced, showing how strong it is.

By the time, Half of it was gone already, the door swung open. He heard some footsteps as he takes another drink before stopping, and used the the back of his hand to wipe the excess liquor from his mouth.

He got up and straightened his suit which wrinkled as he sat for a few minutes. I with my mouth agape.

A man covered in sweat was standing in front of him. But even so, hindi ito nakabawas sa taglay nitong kagwapuhan. Ilang beses niyang kinusot-kusot ang mata, making sure na totoo ang kan'yang nakikita.

He was confused, Whether what his seeing right now ay gawa ng kathang-isip o dahil nakainom lang siya. "Aiden ..?" And the man's name was utter

With large steps, a tall man opened the last door and finally saw the person he was looking for.

Catching his breath, the older eyes, trail to across the stool where Jace sits. Lumingon siya sa kinaroroonan ko, confusion written all over his face. .

His warm, brown eyes met mine, as he looked at him deeply. Wherein, his pale cheeks had a tint of red on them as he uttered his name. " ... Aiden .."

For a brief moment, no one said anything, "what is he doing here.." Jace managed to whisper, shock still evident in his voice.

"Paano mo n-nalaman kung nasa'n ako?" Hindi niya ako sinagot at sa halip ay inilahad ang kan'yang palad

"I know you have a lot to ask and so do I, but that can be done later. for now, we need to go."

Jace asked as he came near him "Go?, What do you mean?" Naguguluhang tanong niya.

"Na'ndito ako para itakas ka." Kaswal na sagot nito. Tinitigan nito ang lalaki na ikina-taas ng kan'yang kilay. Nahihibang na ba siya? Is he high? or did he lose a few screws in there?" He muttered only for himself.

"Ouch!" He yelp glaring at Aiden, as he flicked my forehead. "What was that for!?" inis na aniya but, soon his eyes wide open.

It's late when he realizes that he said that out loud, enough to hear by the man. "What? Cat got your tongue?"

The younger then recovered, grumbling. "Can you blame me, kung anu-ano kasing biro ang lumalabas d'yan sa bibig mo."

"sino bang nagsabi na nagbibiro ako .. I'm serious, Jace." his hand still patiently outstretched

"All you had to do is to hold my hand" i look at his hand then look up at him, staring into his brown eyes that stared directly to mine.

He knew, that he would regret his decision. Jace contemplate for a long time still glancing at his outstretched hand.

He gave up sighing, saka niya nalang 'yon iisipin. for now, he will follow what he wants. Taking his outstretched hand.

Aiden beckoned me to come. ... closer,
and held my hands tightly.

They headed to the door. And hand in hand, they run away.
