After a while our food was already set on our table which I never ordered anything for the reason that I'm not much hungry but Harrish stubbornly do whatever he wanted to do.
"I ordered your favorite foods."Harrish said in a cheerful voice and my eyes landed to our table filled with my favorite foods that he surely did.
I narrowed my eyes at him "Is this a peace offering?"I asked and Harrish nicely raised an eye brow at my question and I felt unfair sseing him looking good in just a simple gesture.
"You eat this all." He plainly said.
Shocked by his words "All of this?" I asked pointing all the food's on our table and when I looked at it,they are surely lot for me to take. "I'm not glutton Mr.Talledo."
"You lost so much of weight Xiah." Harrish seriously stated as he leaned forward on his elbow.
Staring at him,I tilted my head in confusion on how he could tell.
Its been eight year's had passed since the last time we saw each other and then I remember the happening at the site earlier although we never had an intimacy surely He still knew my body in just one touch he could tell the difference.
I've been skipping some meal these few months because of our hectic schedules that we need to catch up and I'm just lucky that Miss Kim so attentive to me that she always assisted me during meal time.
"You don't need to do that." Harrish voice pulled me back from my reveries and now he's staring at me with his evocative eyes.
"Your body was so perfect to me." Harrish seductively added while looking at me from my face down to my body and the way he looked at me send shiver all over my nerves.
"Shameless!" I blurted out while hugging myself and Harrish burst onto a fit of laughter that I've seen eight years ago.I stare at him in a stonishment. The sweet sound of my his laughter is like a music into my ears but it didn't last long because he suddenly stop when he notice me staring at him earnestly.
He cleared his throat and said "Let's eat,I'm famished."And Harrish start to eat his food in a graceful and delicately way and it so attractive.
"Your not eating?" He asked without looking at me when he sensing my eyes are still on him.
Clearing my throat,I compose myself and turned my eyes to my plate filled with my favorite lasagna and we both ate silently.
***********
Our delicious dinner ended up within a minute and Harrish insisted to drop me home which leave me no room to decline his offer.
My eyes was on the moving images outside the window of the car and neither I or him say a word and from the corner of my eye's,I could see Harrish focus was on the road.
"You should eat more." Harrish said after some time when the car stopped at the red light and his deep brown orb eyes meet mine when I turned my head at him.
"You don't have to this." I barely whisper but enough for us to hear and Harrish face turned dark as he started to drive the car again.
"I will do what I want!" Harrish said with a hard tone and his hands clenched the steering wheel tightly while staring back at the road. "Don't even try to push me away,It just wasting your time!" Harrish added without turning back at me and my eyes narrowed at him.
"So tell me what is that you want?" I asked, emphasizing the word 'YOU WANT'.
"You already know it!" Harrish said as he quickly gaze at me.
" Oh,The marriage thing!" I said playfully tapping my forehead,pretending to remember his word.
"I'm really true to my word's Xiah." Harrish said with the utmost sincerity.
I scoffed and turned my face away from him. "Please stopped." I muttered trying my best to calm myself and free my mind from the past,our past.
I gently placed my hand into my lips while my mind clouding so many questions about the marriage he want but I'm so afraid to know the answer.
"Xiah please g-" Harrish was about to say but interrupted by the tone of my phone from inside my purse.
Ignoring his word,I Immediately take my phone out from my purse and hit the answer button after seeing the caller ID on the screen.
"Where are you?" Came Cielo's anxious voice from the other line.
"I'm on the way home." I replied as calmly as I could although I was actually feeling the opposite.
"From the site?" Cielo asked again and I breath out.
"No,I'm from the restaurant." I shook my head as if he could see me.
"Oh!"Cielo said and I heard him exhaled "I'm already home and I will wait you here"
"Okey,I'll be there in a minute." I say in a fine tone but failed to do so.
"Hey!you okey?" Cielo asked that frighten me in a bit but before I could say a word he cut me off. "Let's talk when you get here." He seriously said. "For now just drive safely Ate* and love you." He added and I smiled widely at his last word.
"Love you too." I said sweetly before he ended the line.I put back my phone inside my purse and notice Harrish still focus on the road which a big relief to me and the rest of the ride became quiet again.
The car stopped at the main gate and without saying anything,I hurriedly get out of his car and rushed at the gate as if I was running away from a ghost.
Yes! I'm running away from him and for me it is the right thing to do. Call me coward on not having the courage to know his reason of leaving me for that I don't care,the most matter to me is to get away from him.
But before I could touch the steel gate Harrish grabbed my wrist and pulled me into warm a hug which I never expected.
"Leaving without saying a goodnight?" Harrish sweetly voice whispered to me and my mind was lost to his sudden moved and I don't know what to do or say.
"Goodnight Xiah."He softly said after breaking our hugs and he lean on me to kiss me gently on my forehead.It was simple and warm but it is enough for me to feel his longing and yearning for me through that kiss but the pain inside my heart is unbearable compared to what he felt right now.
