Azure: The Retired Assassin

Azure 51

"W-what?" My face gave nothing but in my head I am grinning like an idiot. I know he would be surprised just like how I was taken aback when he said it to me but I never know it would affect him this much. "Say it again." He whispered. "Please.."He begged when I remained quiet and I almost assaulted his lips with that pleading look in his eyes.

"I love you." I said smiling timidly. I felt my blood rushed to my face. This is a first for me. I love my family but I had never loved someone from the opposite sex like I do with Sy.

"I love you more babe." He speaks softly. We stared at each other for seconds until we are grinning like chimpanzees. He placed a quick kiss on my lips before he pulled away. "I would like to take you to a date for making me the happiest man alive right now. Will you let me?"

I stifled a laugh at what he said. "Sorry." I said when he glared at me with an obvious blush on his face. "I just didn't know you can be this sappy."

"Only to you." It was his time to smirked at me when he saw me blushing again. "Shall we?" He offered his hand to me and I place mine over his without delay and we walked with our fingers entwined towards the parking area.

"Where are we going?" His other hand is on the steering wheel while the other is slowly playing with my left hand. He park in front of an expensive restaurant. He eyed me sharply when I was about to open my door. Playing gentleman I see. He opens my door and gestured his hand which I played along afraid to ruin his mood.

"Thank you good sir." I said in my posh British accent and I was rewarded with a toothy grin from him which I really like. It made my heart kick against my chest. He looks so innocent and free not like the boy who had lost his father.

"Good evening do you have a reservation?" A girl in uniform greeted as we walk inside. She looks at us with her fakest smile. Yung klase ng tingin na alam mong mapanghusga. I understand that this is like a five star restaurant at naka uniform lang kami but that kind of look does not really settled well with me regardless of the circumstances. No one really has the right to judge base only on what can be seen.

I waited for Sy to answer kasi hindi ko din alam kung meron ba o wala. "No." He replied casually which made the girl raised her one brow at us.

"I'm sorry sir pero hindi po kami tumatanggap ng walk in during this time of the day except if you already have reservations." This time her fake smile is gone replaced by an annoyed expression. Seriously ate, nagwaiter ka pa if you can't even pretend to be hospitable at the least.

"Sir Brice? Rhea bakit hindi mo sila pinaupo?" The girl looks ashen while I am standing here confused.

"Hindi daw kayo tumatanggap ng walk in." He said while glaring at the girl. Halata namang kinakabahan na yung lalaki I think is the manager.

"I'm sorry sir." He bowed down which surprised me. Nakakaagaw na din kami ng attention from the other guest. "Rhea apologize this instant or else you'll need to find another job." He warned at dali-dali namang nagsorry yung babae. She looks teary eyed kaya inawat ko na.
