In this world you can't say it it is true or not. If you're a innocent... the devils will get your weakness. But you're just a human. A human. Yes.
Greed is the weakness of the humans. When you will give them the opportunity they will grab it with no hesitation. And that's greed. But of course there is a consequence.
Just like me. I am greedy and I hope there is no consequences that I'll face. But if there is... if for Atticus... I will face it. I don't care if I am some martyr. This is the love what I am feeling.
Unfortunately, I like him too much that I will sacrifice myself.
My eyes widen at the sudden glimpse of the man in the room. I felt emotions suddenly building.
"You are here." He said happily laced in his voice.
My forehead creased at him. He seems noticed my reaction. "Oh, my bad. I'm Adam," he extended his hands. "You're Danae, right? Atticus friend." He added.
I don't know what's happening right now. I am just there loss of words... got frozen on the spot. And what's saddening is that my heart is breaking apart.
This is not Atticus. The Atticus who asked me out! My brother couldn't afford to lie to me! I know that. But... b-but why this?
Am I dreaming? Or I assumed to much? Or my brother lied to me? I don't know anymore.
Tears suddenly building up beneath my eyes. My feet got frozen. My world shattered. My heart beats stopped.
I let out a sigh as I composed myself. I forced a smile in front of Adam. I don't want to see him that I am dissapointed that he is not the one I expected to be here.
My gloomy face turned to sadly and poorly face. I felt like I am betrayed.
I accepted his hand. But I got burnt so it took just a seconds. I am not comfortable with someone brushing my skin.
Yeah, especially a boy. I don't mind if it is Atticus since I like him. And first of all, even if it's a formal thing to do. I couldn't.
"Yes, I'm Danae. Nice too meet you, Adam." I said almost crouch at my sentence.
I heaved a sigh again as I took the seat in front of him. I smiled to show that I expected him to be here. What a great actress of mine. I can have the award in Oscar's.
I surveyed him. His hair is like in the Korean hair type. Like a KPOP or in the Kdrama's I used to watched. His body built is well. I can see that he is working out his body.
And you can address that he is a college now. His face is matured but not hard. It's like he is innocent and he is up for something.
His voice is manly. I can sense that he is a playboy. Oh my gosh. I should guard myself for this harm. But I've got a question. Really. So badly. Why my brother lied?
"So, let's eat?" He said.
I nodded. Then scan my eyes at the menu. But I couldn't focus. My mind is somewhere. But I cleared it. I wanna give it a try. My other part of my mind said that I should trust this man in front of me.
"I am glad that you accepted my invite." He started to speak.
I awkwardly smiled. "You're glad? Why?"
"Of course! Why wouldn't I be? Honestly, you're a minor but age doesn't matter right?" He blabbered.
I almost rolled my eyes. Tss. I am taking back what I said earlier that I must trust this guy. I secretly sighed.
"Age doesn't matter? Really? You're too horny huh?" I playfully said but with a sarcastic tone.
I notice his reaction changed into a mad lion. I smirked. "You're just like them. You want my body even if I'm under age. What a maniac boy."
He clenched his fist and clenched his jaw. I know he is offended and ready to burst his madness. I felt bad about him I thought he is a good guy. It's just a mere thought, anyway.
I laughed then stood up. "What are you doing?" He asked calming himself.
Wow! He can do that? Well mannered huh? "Why did you asked me out?" I change the topic.
"Why? You don't want it? I thought you want it since you are like a dog barking in his house while her boss is with someone else?" He said with a slightly insult in his voice.
I hold my breath then trying to inhale and exhale. Oh gosh! The audacity of this man! Huh!
I grin then I seriously faced him with a threat glistening in my eyes. I maintain my eye to eye contact with him.
"Boy, I am not what you expected. And honestly you are not what I expected." I bravely stated then sashayed myself at the exit of the room.
"How dare you! You're a son of b—"
Tears pooled down my eyes as I walked out to that room. I know I am at fault. Because I assumed too much. But I felt betrayed! How dare my brother to lie to me?!
B-But who am I kidding? This is my entirely fault. If I didn't assumed too much... my heart will never be hurting.
Maybe this is the consequence that I will face if it is for Atticus. Maybe this is it my karma.
I assumed too much and this is the replacement of what I did. But sadly, he is not what I'm expecting. And this consequence is not worth it. Because he is not Atticus!
I will forget this day! And I will never be again delusional! I swear to myself. I swear to God! This is embarrassing in my part.
I let out a groan as I wiped my own tears. Then settled myself. I sighed then took a cab...
But then...
"Where are you going? Are you now backfiring in our date?"
