Trust Me

Chapter 6: No one..

The next morning, I got up a little bit late than usual.

I'm a bit surprise that Stephen doesn't wake me up today though it was already ten in the morning.

I went out of the room and headed to the kitchen. There, I saw a well prepared meal in the table.

"You eat first, then get dressed."

I turn around, and I saw Stephen standing outside the bathroom. He's not topless nor just covered by a towel. He was fully dressed. His wearing a simple polo shirt and black pants. He look nice and simple, though his wet hair was quite distracting.

"Stop staring. You look like an idiot." he said.

"I'm not staring at you!" I lied. Then I uncomfortably sit in the chair and started to eat.

"Really? Then, what were you staring at?" He directly sit in the chair opposite me and looked at me intently.

"The shirt." I proudly said.

He paint a smile. "Nice try."

"Tch." I just shook my head and continue eating.

While he continue to stare at me like he was really teasing me, and that he wants me to feel uncomfortable. But I didn't mind him. I just pretend he wasn't staring at all. I enjoy every bit of the food I ate.

I drink a glass of water once I'm done and abruptly wash the dishes I used. Then I went to the bathroom and take a bath.

"What kind of attire is that? We're not going to a party, Charm Eine."

"What's wrong with it? Its elegant!" I protest.

"Yeah, I know it is. But we are not going to a party! You think I still have the courage to party when everyone is chasing for me?" he said raising his voice a bit.

"Does -can you change your clothes, Cham?- really that hard to say?" I asked irritatedly.

"You told me you're not dumb. So I thought you know how to read between the lines." he answered annoyingly.

"Tch! You're pissing me of!"

"Just change your clothes before I change my mind." he commanded.

"What else can I do? You're the boss!" I said sarcastically and change dress.

After I dressed up, Stephen and I got out of the house. There, was a car waiting for us. Stephen drove, and we landed in a park.

I don't know that this town still have this place of entertainment. It might not be as luxurious as the modern city, but its still great.

"Aren't you afraid that someone will be able to recognize us?" I asked him, before we got out of the car.

"I already prepare for that." he answered. Then he put on a bonet in his head and a very thick eyeglasses.

Yeah, he look differently now. He looks more like a nerd guy than a heartless criminal.

"How about me?" I asked him.

Its unfair if he was the only one to disguise. What if someone recognize me? They might as well knew that he was Stephen. Ya' know, the news.

"They're not chasing for you, Charm Eine."

"Should I be glad? Or should I be hurt?"

"Neither." he pull the drawer beside his steering wheel and get a ponytail and a thick eyeglass.

"Is this enough?" he asked me.

"Well, lets see." I get the ponytale and tie my hair loosely. I pull the ponytale down and hide the rest of my hair. It seems like I had a shorter hair now, shoulder level.
