BURNING RED

Chapter 12

RIGHT

We walked to the parking lot side by side after we decided where to go.

"I'm not really sure if you'll like junk food baby.."he stated a bit hesitatnt.

"I'm good. I wanna eat there.." i pouted.

He sighed then pulled me towards his car. Convertible Audi S5.

Hmmm.. not bad.

He took my bag and put it in the backseat together with my books then opened the door for me.

I murmured my thanks then he buckled my seatbelt on.

I sucked in my breath when his face leaned closer to mine.

I could smell his faint cologne and feel his warmth.

When he finished, he stepped back then went round to the driver's seat.

I watched him as he pulled his car out of its parking lot. His biceps flexing.

I couldn't stop watching him. He was so fascinating to watch..but probably if he stripped his polo, it would be a better view.

I heard him cleared his throat so I snapped my attention back on his face.

He was smirking.

"Than somebody who loves me naked.."he whispered.

"H-hey! E-Excuse me. I'm not thinking of you naked!" I said defensively then punched his arm.

"What? I'm just singing." His lips stretched more.

I paused. Then I felt my face burns up in embarrassment when I heard some song playing in his radio.

I looked out of the window to cover up my humiliation.

Stupid.

When the song ended, another one played. I smiled when I recognised the song. Lady in Red. My Mama loved that song.

"Maybe we can get take out then look for somewhere else to eat?"his husky voice pulled me out of my reverie.

"Hindi na. I would like to experience-" i stopped mid sentence when I realized what I've said.

He didnt need to know who I was before.

"I haven't been to this fast food before. I only knew McDonalds and KFC." I smoothly added. Even though I've never been to any before.

When I looked at him, he was nodding.

I sighed in relief.

He parked the car then opened the car door for me.

"I'll order for us hmm?" He asked.

"Yep. I'll.. I'll get us a table?" I asked uncertain.

He nodded.

I got our table just across the cashiers. I saw how girls looked at him in awe.

I felt proud. Then I propped my elbow on the table and held my chin. He was really a sight to behold. He was so perfect. Broad shoulders, strong and long legs, veiny arms..

"Hi Miss. Pwede bang makishare?" I immediately looked at the guy in front of me. He was tall, dark and evil looking guy. He looked horrible and ugly. Like a villain.

I opened my mouth to politely say no but he just sat down without waiting for my reply. Rude.

I was a little bit annoyed.

Couldn't he see I wasn't alone? I didn't have any food on my table so that means someone was ordering for me.

"May kasama kaba Miss? Anong pangalan mo?" Instead of snapping at him, I lowered my head down then played with my phone.
