That Billionaire is My Guardian

Chapter 14: Date

Without you, I feel broke like I’m part of a whole
Without you, I’ve got no hand to hold
Without you, I feel torn like a sail in the storm
Without you….I’m just a sad song.
---Sad Song by We the Kings





SUHO


I woke up feeling so dizzy and tipsy at the same time. The ray of the sun that passes through me makes me uncomfortable. The curtains moved and prevented the sun shine through me. I opened my eyes and clearly, I saw her smiling face. I crinkled my nose when I saw a band aid on her lips. “What happened to that?” I pointed to it and she immediately turned her back on me.



“Nadulas lang kanina.” I stood up and held her both burning cheeks.



“I told you to take good care of yourself." I really care for her and I don’t either want to see her crying.


“Ano ka ba Suho, malayo to sa bituka noh!” she said and laughed. “Bumaba kana diyan at naghihintay na yung kape sayo.”



“I would just want some cold coffee than leaving you here without being with me.” I smiled at her and she blushed! I made her blushed!



“Ang drama mo. Sige na, sasamahan na kita.”


It’s just so new to me that Aira is being clingy and doesn’t even have to argue with some impertinent small things like we used to. It’s all new that I don’t wanna end it up.



“Where’s nanay Lory?”


“Nagliligpit ng damit niya.” I immediately stopped drinking my coffee and looked at her questioningly. “Uuwi siya sa probinsya nila. Ikakasal yung apo niya, remember?”


Oh I see.


“You have something to do, Aira?” She looked at me with questioning eyes as if I’d asked her some stupid question.


“Wala naman. Bakit?”


“Date tayo.” I said smiling and winked at her. And for the nth time, she blushed. I just love seeing her like that. It somehow makes me more confident that she loves me too. She loves me right?


“Saan naman tayo magdedate?” I was shocked that she didn’t even protest.


“May alam na ako!” she shouted with glee.



I stared at her like there’s really something wrong. She only shows her childish side when she’s with Aya but now, she’s showing it to me. It’s new….and lovable.


“Where is the venue?”


“Secret.” She sheepishly said.


“Come on. How will I going to drive you if you won’t tell me where we’ll go?”


“No, magcocommute tayo.”


“WHAT?! NO!” I have terrible actions when it comes to commuting. I really hate it when I have to mingle to other people especially on trains and taxis.



“You can’t say no to me, Mr. Billionaire.” She winked at me and then she went upstairs. “Magbibihis nako~” she said in a song tone. I faceplamed. I can’t say no to her either.



Ganito rin kaya si Xiumin hyung kay Trina?



Oh crap! I would have to bath myself for being patient!











“Aira, are you gonna come with me or just stay at your room all day?” I knocked Aira’s room. I was waiting about 15 minutes and it feels like a decade. I’m aching to see her.


“Wait lang!” she shouted. Why do women need to take an hour to finish beautifying their face when guys out there are just willing to be with them even if they don’t wear make-ups?


I was in the middle of fixing my necktie when suddenly she came out rushing. I expected that she would wear some dress and stilettos but it is not that I expected. She’s just wearing only a white shirt and pants with her favorite converse shoes.


Damn woman! Is it that the minutes I’ve been waiting for?!


She looked at me and she burst out laughing. “Pfffttt! Magcocommute kang naka-office attire? Seriously Suho?”
What did I expect? She does loves laughing at me. I immediately changed my clothes and now, I’m just wearing faded maong pants and I paired her white shirt with mine and it looks like perfect. I should wear my converse shoes dude!


“Bagay na ba tayo?” I winked. I reached for her arms and we marched to the nearest train. She lead the way. Malay ko ba sa pupuntahan namin? Ni hindi niya sinasabi sakin kung saan kami pupunta.




We rode the train and all the passengers were eyeing at us. Some were staring at us and most of them were smiling. The train was almost full and we don’t have any choice but to stand at the aisle. I hold Aira’s hand all the time. We were like couple.




“Are you sure we’re going here?” it is like a bar but like a small home for all. It was all natural. Before entering the place, there is a photo booth. It is required that every customer has to take their photos. The Muses, that’s the name of the place. It feels like I’ve come to a new world, a world with all the natural things can be seen.


“Yup. Remember Elay? She’s singing here. Whenever I feel happy or lonely, I visit here.” There’s a hint of excitement in her face and I’m glad that she’s happy. I can’t say no to her right? Afterall, I survived commuting a while ago.


We took a picture together. We entered the venue with a lively song and received warm smiles. It feels like home here in The Muses. The concept of the place was awesome. So, this is where Aira want to have a romantic date? Hmmm, not that bad.




Now Playing: My Heart by Paramore

I am finding out that maybe I was wrong
That I’ve fallen down and I can’t do this alone
Stay with me, this is what I needed please.



I looked at Aira and she’s smiling at the girl in the stage. I think she’s Elay, the main vocalist of The Muse.  She has long black and blonde-end hair. Astig, yan ang masasabi ko sa grupo nila. The other girl playing with her guitar has violet hair and the other has red hair but one face caught my attention. He, I mean she, I can't tell but, looks like disgusted. Nakakunot ang noo niya habang nagda-drums. It feels like I’ve seen him, or her somewhere. I can’t figure it out.




Sing us a song and we’ll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you. Ohh.





“She’s Amber, the great drummer. Elay is the main vocalist, Taeyeon is the bassist and Sulli is the lead guitarist. Huwag mo ng imemorize yung kulay ng buhok nila, pabago-bago sila ng kulay. Take a sit and enjoy.” She said as she sat down next to me. I smiled at Elay since we’ve met before.



Aira started singing and enjoying the beat. I’m not a song lover, definitely not.





I am nothing now and it’s been so long
Since I’ve heard the sound… the sound of my only hope
This time, I will be listening.




She was closing her eyes as she’s singing.




This heart, it beats..beats for only you
This heart, it beats..beats for only you
Ohhhhh!
This heart, it beats..beats for only you
My heart is yours
This heart, it beats..beats for only you
My heart is yours
This heart, it beats..beats for only you
My heart is yours
It’s yours.





I hold her hand and placed it in my heart. “My heart is yours.” I mouthed as the song ended. This is I want, to be with her…a lifetime.  She smiled at me and then never let go of my hand until the last minute of our so-called “date”.
