The El Gioorandine

CHAPTER 3

It was one of the most tiresome week he had ever encountered in his entire life. He wanted to try playing baseball so he decided to pick with intention to just, well, play. Didn't know that when he tried to play it a bit harder, he was chosen to join the team in tournament against other high school. What a luck.

He was walking to the bicycle area. He decided to ride a bike today as he know he will be back really late. Indeed, it's true as the sun already set. As he cycle towards the gate, he saw a man, no. Two man. Standing, one holding a map and another scrolling through his phone.

They look lost. Not for a short time, he concluded as their clothes looked really tattered and stained. As if they just fell on something muddy and dirty. Decided to help, he stop cycling and walk his bike towards them.

"Hmm.. uh.. hello." He approached. The man stop scrolling and look at him.

"Are you.. perhaps.. lost?" The other man just grin and scratched his head.

"Actually, yeah."

"Can you maybe help us?" Ask the one with the cap.

"Well, how about you follow me home?" Both of them looked at each other. Confused looking.

"Don't worry. I think my mother would know what to do." They still look doubtful.

"You.. may want to get change? Shower, maybe?" Looking at their on clothes, they nod.

"Well, if you said so. We would gladly accept it." Alder smiled and lead them the way to his house. The front door has a closed sign on it. Indicating the shop has already closed for business.

"Mom! Ugh!" He opened the door hoping to heard his mother replying to his call. What awaits him was a log book hitting his head. He hold the hurt spot on his head and look up. Yelling his sister's name.

"Mary! Stop hitting your brother." A woman voice was heard. The cap man look on the door on the left side of the shop. A lady walk out of the door. With a pout, Mary walk inside of the left side door.

"Oh! Guests." The woman smiled.

"Alder! Bring them to the guest room. Dinner will be serve a bit late tonight. 8.30. Okay?" Alder just nod. Instructed the man to followed him to the guest room. Up the stairs. They were left alone after Alder give them fresh clothes and towels. Informing them that he'll call them again later.

The cap man still look mesmerized which made his companion wondered. What's been going on in his mind? He looks so confused and delighted at the same time. But, the worried aura stills lingers. His speech got cut as the cap man take off his cap and sighed heavily.

"Sister." His word got cut again. Hearing the answer, he look suprised.

"Seriously?" The said man sat on the bed.

"Little. The little one, Logan" Logan take off his jacket.

"Thought it going to be harder than the time you came to me." The man chuckles. Taking off his socks as Logan already walking to the bathroom.

"Me too."

"Here's your drink. Thank you." She place the drinks on the table. Walk away to the kitchen as her shift has finished. She has been working at the restaurant for a week with her friend Mizuki. Levian declined the thought of her working at other place but his office. Well, Rhiabella has her own way to make Levian agreed.

"Rhia!"

"I'm done." Mizuki smiled as she look from the back of the locker room door.

Mizuki were on semester break right now. A month before Rhiabella's holiday, Mizuki came to London with her friends. Informing earlier that she wanted to came to Korea for her semester break. Just wanting to gain new experience. For the time being, Mizuki will stay with her.

"Hey, Rhia. Are you sure he is not angry that I.."

"No. He's just sulking." They drove away. Mizuki feel guilty for no reason. Mizuki have always been like that. She always apologize for the smallest detail and feel guilty for what she has said. She really care for other people's feeling. Even thought, she has the foulest mouth Rhia have ever met.

"Well. If you said so. I hope he didn't sulk for too long. I'll feel bad."

"Nah. Don't worry." Mizuki decided to just brush it off. She feel thankful to Rhia. Since she met Rhia, Rhia introduced her to a lot of new things. Places she always wanted to come. Rhia never stingy with knowledges. She teach her a lot of history from other places. Like she has been there herself which Mizuki knew she has.

"Thank you, Rhia." Rhia just snorted. Suddenly feels silly at Mizuki's attitude. Ruffling her head and continue driving.

"Welcome home." Someone hug him when he was about to put his shoes on the rack. He turn. Smile softly.

"Hey, baby. I'm home" He kissed his wife's nose. She giggle giddily. They walk side by side. His hand around her waist.

"Practically, we are not at home. We were in a hotel room." They sit on the couch in front of the bed. Ayumi straddling him and sit on his lap.

"It doesn't matter. Wherever there is you, it's home to me." Ayumi said, playing with Tsukasa's earlobe. It always left a tingling feeling for Tsukasa. Whenever she do that. His lips play with her necklace that he gave as a wedding gift. Their proximity was so close and with that only left Tsukasa feels content.

"Have you eaten?" She shakes her head. Maybe she lied a bit. She did have a room service after Tsukasa left. But, she hungry now. Might just say she haven't.

"Want to make some late dinner?" He softly nibbling on her throat. She lets out a whimper.

"I want that. Would you?" He asks again. She moans as he already kissing and sucking on her neck to her jawline.

"Maybe later." He groans against her lips and kiss her gently. Savoring the moment. They decided to have their honeymoon in Italy since Tsukasa has been scheduled to have his last shoot there.

The first time Ayumi met him, she totally feels annoyed. Tsukasa was known of being a flirt and a sweet talker. An attitude which Ayumi can't handle well. So she turn to despise it. Ayumi just substituting her aunt who was Tsukasa's manager at that time due to labor.

A few argument turn to a casual talk of comforting. Along the way, they developed feeling for each other. At some point, they start dating and of course were kept well hidden. Nobody suspected it in which her aunt was suprised. It has been six month since they married each other. Something even they didn't expect to happen.

"Be prepared, love. You might not walk tomorrow." He said. Reaching for the remote control on the side table. Ayumi in between him as he kneels on the bed. She bit her lips.

"Try me, baby boy." He groans at the nickname and she whimper at the sound of that. With that he click the switch on the remote and the lamp shut off. The night was not cold anymore.
