E I G H T: Blank Oath

There are many cameras surrounding Tony and I. Our date has officially started and it'll be aired after the trip. We're inside the cruise cinema watching a horror film.

I hate horror films, I think they're pretty boring. I'm not affected by scary things.

I munch a mouthful of buttered popcorn and drink my Pepsi Cola.

Only the two of us are inside the cinema. We're seated at the middle. Feeling a bit cold, I hug myself.

Tony gazes at me while he raises the armrest between us. He slowly moved towards me. 

I feel butterflies in my tummy. I'm also aware that my face is hot and bright red. Tried to calm myself but I failed. OMG! Tony, why do you have this effect on me?

Tony presses his red lips to my ear and whispers, "Did you come up with an idea for tonight?"

"T-tonight?" What does he mean by that? Don't tell me..?

"I d-don't know nothing." Ash, don't stutter!

Can you blame me? He smells so nice and manly. His broad shoulders and muscular arms touch mine. I can't help but notice his face and body. Plus, he's got a good personality, too. All women will have the same reaction, right? He's freaking gorgeous!

He's moving closer. This time, I can't move. My body feels stiff like a statue. I feel so nervous that my heart's pounding out of my chest.

I hear him say, "Isn't this the perfect time to hold hands and then kiss?"

"Correct." I said shyly. I held his hand and face him. I pout my lips and slightly parted it, close my eyes and wait for him to kiss me. I place my hand in his.

"The heck, Ash! What's your deal?" A shocked and amused expression registers on Tony's face. He chuckles, shaking his head.

I blink and I realize that I'm daydreaming. I tried to get my hand from his but he grasps tighter.

He blows me a kiss, winking at me. Talk about rubbing salt to my wound. Am I insane? This is so embarrassing, especially with cameras around us. Why would I daydream of this guy? What to do? What do I do?!

"Ah. I did pout because I need to go to the restroom. It's that way, right? That's why I pointed my lips to that direction. Then, I-I h-held your hand because you may want to come with me." Words flow like water. I didn't even have time to think about it because I talked fast, nervous as hell.

I keep my face stoic. Ash, you're the Queen of stupidity! Why would you invite a grown man to go with you in the comfort room?

Looks like he did not buy it but he just beams at me, showing the two deepest dimple I've ever seen, "No, I'm fine. You may go." He lets go of my hand. Charming!

I get up from the soft red chair that's now as red as my face, so flustered because I made a fool of myself. Tony grins playfully at me.

When I got back, Tony asks me if I have any idea about what we'll do to avoid tonight's show. A light bulb turns on in my mind. So that's it. How humiliating. I have a dirty, dirty mind. I facepalm in my mind.

"An idea will come soon, don't worry. For now, let's just focus on our date. I badly need this so that people will forget about what happened at my concert recently. You may have heard the news, right?" I ask.

"You're just using me." Tony says without emotion.

A surge of pain struck me. Yes, what he said is true. If I think about it carefully. I'm really using him and this is not me. I don't use other people for my own advantage. Yet this is not just for me but for Mom and Grandma.

"I'm just asking for your help. You're aware that I'm already at the end of my rope. Can we act like we're truly dating during this trip? Just enough to cover the controversies I'm facing right now." I cannot look him in the eye, I feel so humiliated at this moment.

His face hardens, "What's in it for me?"

"Ask away." I know he's not the type to let other people use him.

"Sign a blank oath." He says directly. His face is expressionless.

"What the hell is that?" I choke in surprise and cough, trying to change my tone. Remember, I'm the one needing his help, "I mean, uh, I don't know that, can you please explain?"

"It's simple. It means you'll do anything I request without any complaint nor hesitation because you already signed it beforehand." He smirks.

Is he toying me? I pray for patience and courage because what he said is far scarier than this movie we're watching.
