Wicked Kiss

Chapter 31: Someone



When I reached home, I held on my chest tightly as I let my back rest on the back of my door. My legs are still shaking from what we just talked, from what I just said and from what I did, back in his office.

Why the heck I am feeling this absurdity?! This is insane.

I walked to my kitchen and get a glass of cold water to calm my senses. I am not really feeling good. I feel like my insides are going to burst.

"You love me." It keeps on echoing inside my head, making me cough the water from my mouth, making it drip down on my spaghetti straps.

I cursed so loud inside my head and grab a tissue from the island counter to wipe it out.

"You are insane, Erza! How dare you feel that kind of awkwardness!! " I told myself.

I shook my head.

Even me, I can't believe. It seems like my brain is working but my body's obeying an old self. Yeah. They're definitely right.

I gritted my teeth every time I remember the moment he pushed me to remember those things.

I marched to the bathroom and immediately removed my dress. This is not good. This is not good. And what was happened earlier was just a pure anger.

Anger and insult.

How can he have the guts to be casual to me, when he treated me like a trash years ago?

He didn't even dare to look for me when I was gone and left the country.

I closed my eyes tightly.

Damn it!

Why is this so hard?

1

Just remember. That you are here for closure. Nothing else. What happened in the past should be left in grave.

And there's nothing that connects with the both of us but only because he's my boss and he's my real boss' younger brother.

After the bath. I wore a comfortable nighty and drop my body on the bed.

For the last time this night, I sighed again.

***

opened my eyes in the next morning because of the rapid doorbell. It is pretty annoying making me stand up to look who's this stupid person.

I grabbed my robe from the rack and covered my body.

When I opened the door. The flash of the camera flashed on me. Making me close my eyes from it's light.

"Fuck. "I only said.

I thought some paparazzi have followed me. But when I didn't hear them say anything, I slowly opened my eyes. I'm shocked when I saw no one but instead, I saw a small table with roses on top... and a black with golden laces papers. The letters of Lacxous G. Doesn't affect me anymore. But the fact that he stopped sending me letters for 4 years now, is a little bit of a shock.

I walked to the table expressionless and smelled the roses that is in my hands now.

Since I closed my eyes while sniffing the flower, I opened it when I realized that maybe it was Lacxous who captured a picture earlier. He's really a good stalker.

I picked up the letters and before opening them, I sniffed on it first. Still the same, the aroma is still the same.

****

Sweetie,

Roses for you. Welcome back.

-Lacxous G.

****

Sweetie,

Sacrifices took almost four years of twinge.

***

That's what was written in the two papers.

I knotted my forehead. I don't get what this man is saying.

I just shrugged and get inside to put the letter and flower.

I went outside again to put that table in the backyard.

But to my shock. The letters is not there anymore. Now, I salute Lacxous G.

****

Now I feel like I wanted to slap myself waiting for Astrair. I am going to ask him where I can find Sir Al because I have something important to discuss with him.

I can't contact him and he's not even replying to my emails. That's why I came here to ask personally to his siblings even though I really don't like talking to his brother.

I wanted to roll my eyes and stomp my feet because it's been 39 minutes. I really hate waiting.

I just diverted my attention by looking at the environment.

Nothing has changed. It still looks like someone with a high rank is using this area.

The silent environment broke after I heard someone coming.

"Hi Love- Oh! Is that you, Erza?" Emerald said with a smile.

I smiled too and get up.

"Yes, Miss." Me.

"Oh! What are you doing here?" she said while putting a plastic container on Astrair's table.

"I need to know where to find Sir Alstreim. " I said that made her raise an eyebrow to me.

"Find Alstreim? Then why are you here in Astrair's office, why don't you contact his secretary?" She said that made me even more irritated.

I don't know if he's insulting me or just giving me advice. Damn this bitch.

"I don't know his secretary. " I said and roll my eyes behind her back.

"You work for him yet you don't know his secretary?" she said in sarcasm.

My blood boiled from what she just said.

"We talk about business. We talked in New York. We talked in a restaurant. There's no secretary all over. And definitely, I am here just so I can take Sir Alstreim's address so we'll finish our project immediately just so I will be back in Paris as soon as possible." I can't help to sound like a bitch in front of her.

He laughed, making me want to fucking punch her face. "Oh, good to hear that. " she said and wrote something on a note paper and gave it to me.

"That's the address of Alstreim's secretary. You can bug her. But not Astrair. Got it?" She said and gave me a plastic smile.

I smiled at her and accepted the letter. I raised it in the air tore it apart in front of her face.

"Thank you for your very kind suggestion, Miss Emerald Hellenic. But no thanks. If you are afraid that I somewhat FLIRT with Astrair, then you are wrong. "I said then step forward to face her. "Because I know that I won't need to flirt with him just to get his attention. I'll make sure that he's going to be mine in my own sexy way. " I said.

He laughed in sarcasm and looked at me.

"I think you get it wrong, Miss Scarlet Quevaz." She said, still laughing.

"If I got it wrong then you also have got me wrong. The feeling is mutual. " I said then sat on the chair where I was seated earlier.

I saw her glared at me and I just mocked her by smiling widely.

Don't try me, Emerald 'cause I'm more than a bitch than you.

***

Another 15 minutes when Astrair arrived while calling someone on the phone. I don't know why but my irritation over him suddenly risen.

I want to bounce his head with Emerald because I'm really annoyed since then.

"Honeyyy!!" screamed, Emerald.

"Oh, hi " He just said and it seems like he didn't notice me.

When his eyes bore on me. I can see different kinds of emotions on his face. I can't even pinpoint what was it.

"Erza, what brings you here?" He asked and ignored the bitch.

"I need to know where to find, Sir Alstreim. If you please, kindly give me the address? " I said as fast as I can. I have no plans of staying here a bit longer. "He's on the Island. " he said.

"Oh, okay. "I said.

I am not yet satisfied from his answer but I already exited. I want to get out of there. I feel like it's suffocating me seeing them both in one room.

"You can go to the island, I'll tour you." he added.

I turned to him. "I can do it. " I said and before walking out, I winked that made Emerald furious.

When I'm at the lobby, I started thinking of the things I have to do to reach Sir Al.

I need to tell Sir Alstreim that I have to finish this fast because someone is waiting for me back in Paris.

***

I look around the area.

Nothing has changed. The nature still amazed me. But the surroundings are a bit enhanced and if 4 years ago we are the only people here, now I can see tourist.

I went to the main building and asked the office of Sir Al.

"Sir Alstriem. " I said the moment I get inside.

He raised his head and our eyes met.

I frowned when I realized that there's something wrong.

"Yes?" He said that he sounds like he's confused that I was there.

"I would like to inform you that we need to start our work as soon as possible. I need to go back in Paris in Eight months. " I said.

"No problem and anyway, we can start the day after tomorrow or next week if you want." He added while playing with the pen in his fingers.

"Of course! Thank you. " I said and give a courtesy.

I was about to turn my back when he called me.

"Erza?"

I turned to him smiling. "Yes? "

"You're prettier than the last time I saw you." He said that made me blushed.

"Thank you, Sir, does that mean I was not that pretty last week? " I said a little bit chuckling.

"Yeah." He said and looked away.

When I was already walking out of his office. I realized something. Why does he's behaving more formal right now than the last time we met?

I just shook my head from what I was thinking. Maybe, he felt awkward.

***

I visited the site of the Palacio Royale. They already started the building, and I guess from next week the interiors will be my job.

"Miss Erza? Is that chu?" I heard someone on my back.

When I turned my head, I saw Mira.

"Miss Erza!!!!!!!!" She screamed that made me shut my eyes.

"Mira, we met yesterday, what's so exciting today?" I asked sarcastically.

He laughed and tapped my shoulders. "Duh, I'm just shock and excited that you're here in this island." She said laughing.

"Tss. What are you doing here?" I said and walked with her.

"This project was again given to us. This place gave a lot of memories so we accepted." She said.

I nodded. I only realized it now but she gained weight. "You're fat?" I said and examined her from head to toe.

Her eyes widened and turned around "Because I give birth to a child!" She said with wide eyes.

"You already have a child, Mira?!" I said a bit loud.

She made face. "FYI Miss, of course I'm not getting any younger. I'm in early thirties and I have to have children!" she said.

She has a point but I never expected it. "I just can't believe it. " I said.

"Wow, that's one hell of an insult. Do you really think no one will fall in love with me?" She said then pouted.

"Shut up, Mira and just introduce me to them. " I said.

"They're in Manila. Gadjin and Clara is getting married. And Lucy is pregnant!" She said that I never expected.

After 4 years. A lot happened to my team. I never expected any of them.

There are lots of things that had changed. But I know to my heart that even though the situation changed, I know these persons didn't. I trust them. *Someone's PoV*

Paris, France

"Hwwwuaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!" Baby Hunk cried so loud and throw away those toys provided to him.

"Baby!! Stop crying na pleaseee!! " Dawn said panicking, my twin sister.

"Huuuwwwwaaaahhhhh!!!! " He cried again and walked slowly because this baby is a fat kid.

"Baby pleasee. Stop cry-cry na please. " I said and asked him to relax.

"I kill youuuu!!!" He screamed stuttering and pulled down my skirt

"Wwwaaahhh baby, Nuuuuuu! "I screamed too. Hmmp! Is this kid planning of raping me?!

"Dawn!!! Help me you gay!! " I said in horror while trying to get rid of this kid that's trying to climb up on my skirt.

If I don't love this kid, I have already kicked him!

"I don't care, Dale. I don't want to be one of his victims again!" She said and fixed her ruined hair.

"*Huk* mommyyyyyy!!!!!! Huwwaaahhh Kill! Kill!! Kill!!" he screamed and opened his mouth.

It seems like his teeth were shining on my sight as I saw it glitters.

And to my horror. He bites me on my

ASS!!!!!

"Eeeeeeiiiiiiiihhhhhh!!!!
