In Time (In Places Book 2)

#2 - Chapters and Beans

"Hey, Park Chanyeol."

"Hm?" The glance he spared me was quick but isn't less attentive. Fat, heavy droplets of rain fell around us and the car, blurring the world outside of his black Porsche as I stared through the window beside me.

Shivering, I pulled the long-sleeve I am wearing closer to my body. The heat inside his car is helping but I still feel a little cold from the rain. "Where are you taking me, really?" I asked for the nth time already since I slipped into the comforts of his car. But as before, he just grinned and winked playfully at my direction. If he's less handsome today, I might have rolled my eyes. But he's not. And that resulted to a blush creeping up my cheeks.

"We're almost there." he answered just as we rounded a familiar corner. If I'm not mistaking, this is the road we take whenever we head towards their main office building. "Here." Chanyeol reached for the backrest of his seat where his black suit from a while ago already hangs. "Baek, take this. You're freezing." He handed it to me, frowning in concern as he quickly studied my present state.

"Oh, thanks." I murmured as I curled myself on the seat, hugging my knees, and draping the suit over my body. A very thin layer of fog formed on the window of the car and I reached up to wipe them with my hand. "We're heading for your office?" I asked just as Chanyeol rested a hand on my back, soothing me.

He shook his head, pursing his lips. "Not really," he answered. "You okay, baby?"

I nodded and gave a small smile. "Yeah. Just the cold." Then I turned my head to his direction instead, propping my chin on my knee as I watched his face. One of the very few things I love to do is stare at Park Chanyeol's face. I don't tell him this because it's quite embarrassing and might make him a little bit too cocky. But the perfect fix of his jaw is my favorite among all the other perfections present in him and most of the time, when he isn't looking, I just like to simply... stare.

It's a wonder, though, that Chanyeol chose me over the many other people swooning over him. There's just a whole lot of things different between me and this man and the physical aspects are just some of them. Unlike him, I'm just an average student with average grades and an average status in the society. I don't even know if I look even half of how handsome he is. And the bottom line is that, he's even the most caring and loving guy I have ever known. He has a great sense of humor and is a very deep person. He spoils me, always giving me everything I want and need before I even know the things myself. Like I said before, I'm a spoiled btch most of the time and he never gets tired of me. He loves me. He loves me deep and hard and I could feel that. I could feel that everyday, even when he's not around.

I wonder if he feels how much I love him, too. I wonder if I'm successful enough to make him realize that he is the only person I would love to spend the rest of my life with. I wonder if he could feel that even when I don't woo him a lot. I hope he does. I really do. Sighing, I gently ruffled my hair, damp after receiving a quick shower from the rain a while ago. Should have brought an umbrella this morning.
