"It sucks to be someone's shadow, you know? I always do the dirty work for him."

He released a heavy breath. Nakaramdam ako ng awa sa kaniya kasi halata ang pagod sa kaniyang mata. Natutuwa ako kasi kumportable siyang mag-open up sa akin. I feel special when he tells me his problems and rants.

He grabbed the goblet and downed it in one gulp. I watched him silently drinking his champagne. My hands move to the surface of his hand. I gave him a warm smile so I could feel that he was not alone in his battle.

"You will be okay. You are the brave and wise man I knew. I always believe in you, Nik," I cooed.

"Thank you, Sianna," he whispered. He shut his eyes as he massaged his nose bridge out of frustration. "I always feel safe whenever I'm with you. When I'm with you... I don't need to pretend or be a robot to follow someone's command. The real me is showing whenever I'm with you, mon amour."

"I'm glad that you feel the same way as I do. I am different when I'm with you also."

He gave me a small smile until the waiter put our food on our table. I heard him ask for another champagne to refill his goblet. I am so jealous that he is eating meat right now while I'm eating caesar salad.

"How does it taste?" he inquired.

"Good," I answered. I bit the olive on the fork and shot a glance at him. "I am still craving to eat the steak though."

He squinted his eyes. "Are you not confident right now?"

My lips let out a gasp because of his remark. My cheeks burned in embarrassment. Should I even tell him that I feel ugly with my thick thighs? Well, I know that Nik really likes sexy women like Vivian.

"Of course I am," I lied.

"You're lying, mon amour," he concluded. "Let me tell you this, okay? You are beautiful in your own way. I don't give a damn if you become thick or skinny because I love you the way you are. Please... Tu es beau."

My lips protruded. "I wanna be beautiful in your eyes..."

I got insecure when Baby teased me that Nik might find another sexy woman. That is why I am eager to have a strict diet and exercising in a gym with my cousin. Nik grabbed the table napkin and he wiped the edge of his lips.

"You are always beautiful..." He was chewing his lower lips as his intense dark eyes gazed at me. I felt the heat rush in my cheeks spread like a wildfire. "I don't want you to forget that. My girlfriend is beautiful."

"Thanks..." My eyes dropped on my plate. I was kind of shy because I just admitted that I was so insecure. Damn it.

"So..." he trailed off. He sliced the steak into a small portion and he offered it near my lips. My eyes grew bigger when he gave me a smirk. "I want you to taste the steak, it is so delicious. Say ah."

Nakaramdam ako ng hiya kaya kinagat ko na iyong steak. I fought the urge not to release a moan because that piece of steak is bomb! He gave me a shrug as if he won the battle. He knew that I would love his steak. To my shock... he cut the steak in half and gave it to me. He placed half of his steak on my plate.

"I wanna try your salad. Let's share our food with each other," he chuckled. He scooped the salad out of my plate and placed it in his place. "I hope it tastes good."

"Just try it. It tastes good..." I urged.

I saw in my peripheral vision that people were watching us as if we were weird sharing our food in a high class fine dining restaurant. Some of them even gossip about but Nik doesn't seem to care about them though.
