Sold To The Wicked Him

“Here, I guess this is the place”

Aiden mumbled as they are now in front of a cabana with white curtains.

“You can… bring me down now”

I mumbled as soon as she realized that it would be hard for him to open the door if he was carrying me.

“Can you stand up?”

“I think so..”

Putting me down, I can feel how gently he did that as possible. As if I would break if he wasn’t careful. What is with him? it is not as if he was like this before… many things surely change and with this guy, why do I feel like there is a reason for his changes?

Is it… that lady I saw before?

Conscience then struck  my nerves. It is not as if I am doing something bad… or am I really?

“Sorry”This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I suddenly mumbled. It seems like he finally opened the door….

“Yes?”

“Nothing, I just realized how you would be in trouble after carrying me. What would you do if your lover get jealous?”

Not looking at him, I reach the door. But before I could even push it open, a small laughter was heard. Wait… did he… just laugh?

Unconsciously looking at him, I find myself staring at the very man I never thought would make that kind of face. Such glimmer on his face, even the stars would be shy to call themselves mesmerizing if he was around.

“What are you talking about?”

He giggled as the night sky was there on his back.

“Don’t you have a lover? I mean, I Aiya and Elton’s wedding day, you… are with a girl and-”

Blushing with what I am saying, I can’t help but be embarrassed. What am I even talking about? This is so so embarrassing!

“You mean Shana?”

“Is that her?”

“I did meet her back in the wedding. She is somewhat close with Aiya that is why. And she is not my lover. She is my mother’s cousin which makes her my auntie by blood”

“So she isn’t your lover?”

“No”

He shook his head with a small smile on his face. As if what he just witness is something so amusing.

“Thank goodness-”

I blur out but immediately widen my eyes after realizing what I have said. Did he hear that? what is happening to me? This isn’t like me at all…

“Hmm?”

“Nothing”

It seems like he didn’t hear what I said. Luckily.

Because of the darkness as only a small light from afar is the only source of light other than the moon, I was able to hide my blushing face.

This isn’t part of my plan for going back here. but for some reason, I am thankful that I was with Aiya. For that…  was able to meet him again.

But I wonder when we will be able to meet each other again…

“You should head inside, I will ask them to bring here your belongings. Tell you lover what happened or else he would be worried”

He is not looking at me. But, is this a déjà vu? He was now saying thing like that when I was the one saying it a while ago.

“No one would be worried so its fine” I slightly giggled.

Looking at my eyes, I wonder what he is thinking.

“Is that so?”

He mumbled with a small curve on his lips.

Why is he acting like that? If he keeps on doing that, I would just find myself staring at him…

“I… I shall head inside just as you said. Thank you for your help… Aiden”

Mumbling those words, I just make myself in shame. Why stutter of all time Lea??

“Yes, take care”

“Yeah”

Closing the door. I find myself resting my back on the door. What is wrong with my heart. I didn’t meet him for so long but everytime I hear his name or just see his photo in the news and magazines, I can’t help but be reminded of those times.

Those times that looks like a dream. Many things happened so fast that I can’t even imagine if they are real…

A dream that I can call a nightmare… but if it was really nightmare… why do I still have a good memories on it? isn’t nightmare supposed to be full of bad news?

Sitting on the ground as I bend my knees, I closed my eyes.

“What should I do?”

I really don’t know. I never had this kind of feeling before. Every time it is about Aiden, I can’t help but be nervous… it wasn’t like what I felt when I was with Brylle… speaking of Brylle, I wonder what is he doing. Is he fine?

After all those things that happened, I hate him but I can’t find the feeling in me to despise him at all.

Its just… I would be glad to know that he is living a good life. A life that each one of us deserve to have…

…

“Aiden, you are back”

With Elton sittinga s he rest his face on the chair’s back, it was only boy who was in the hall. It was an open space and have a club like atmosphere.

“Yeah”

“So how was it? you’ve been dying to see her right?”

With a glare heading directly at Elton, it made him shiver.

“Whatttt??? Isn’t it true? You even look like a thrown puppy when you heard Lea left immediately”

He mumbled with his eyes widening. He just learned how he dig his own grave.

Before Aiden can even say a word, Luther then offered a shot of drink to the aid man.

“Hey bud, sorry for what I did. I didn’t know you would take that too far”

“You crossed the line that is”

Nodding his head, Luther touches his slightly red cheek.

“Yeah, I did cross the line. I just want to surprise he since she was craving for a beach but look what I got? Instead of a kiss from her lips, I got a kiss from her palm”

“Much deserved”

Elton raised a toast as he let out a deep sigh

“You look like you won a lottery but you lost the ticket”

“Shut up”

He mumbled as he take another shot of his drink.

“It is because of you why Aiya is mad at me”

“It is a good thing you know what he did was wrong”

Aiden mumbled as he look at the path where Lea’s cabana was.

“Yeah I know, I am sorry”

“Why apologize to us? You know full well who you need to give your apology to. Don’t you?””

Smiling as he see how terrifying Aiden was when he is mad, Luther nods his head and smile.

Earlier the next day as soon as Lea wakes up and leave the room… she was surprised to see someone bowing his head really low.

“Sorry Ms. Lea, I did not mean to greet you in that way. I apologize for dragging you in the silly joke prank that I prepared for Sylphia. This won’t happen again, I promise”

“You are… luther, right?”

“Yes, did sylphia talk sweet things about me that is why you know my name?”

Confused on how he was acting, she fell into one conclusion as she saw Sylphia giving him a small hit on his head.

“You, what the hell are you talking about? And leave lea alone! I am still mad at you!”

Giggling as she saw such sight, lea can’t help but smile.

‘I am happy that they have a good relationship. Even if Sylphia was like that, I can say she likes him. if not, he won’t even see a glimpse of her’

“You are awake, how was your sleep?”

“I am fine, I had a nice sleep. Thank you- Aiden..”

“Good morning” he sweetly greeted me with that same smile he had last night. For some reason… smiling does suit him more than his frowning face .

“You should do that more often…”

With him slightly tilting his head, I mumbled and smile not looking at his direction.

“I mean… your smile. Somehow, it suits you”
