Golden's POV
The whole place became quiet and I could feel his grip of my hair loosens. I scooted away from him and covered myself.
The albino guy slowly walked towards us and I sensed that the blue-haired guy is getting scared. I winced when the albino guy approached me and touches my hair. "Are you hurt?" He asked. I hesitantly shook my head.
I glanced at the people watching us and they all seemed scared of him. They became so quiet that the remaining music send chills to my body. What's going on?
I looked at the albino guy and he's staring directly at me. It was a meaningful stare. It seemed like he's trying to tell me something by staring at me. It's peculiar.
I looked at his eyes and my eyebrows furrowed when I noticed his almond-shape eyes. His eyes are like the snakes.
What the...
"I-I'm sorry." The blue-haired guy stuttered. He looks at the albino guy with fear.
Why is he scared of him? The albino guy doesn't look that scary. I mean yeah. His eyes are kind of weird but it doesn't look that scary at all. Why is he acting like he would be eaten alive by him or something.
He didn't answered. His friends started scooting away and he was left behind. My eyes widened when I saw a smoke came out of the albino guy's nostrils.
What the hell was that!
I blink two times and there's still smoke coming out from his nose like he's breathing fire. He turned around and the blue-haired guy's shoulder winced.
Oh no.
Before the albino guy can do more damage I stopped him by grabbing his arm but I quickly moved it away when my palm touches his skin. It is so hot and it felt like touching a burning wood.
"What's going on?" Helen asked. I ran towards her and hide behind her back. "They're strange." I mumbled to her.
"You can go now. I'll fix this." She told me and I obeyed.
What just happened?
All of them are strange. From their weird grey and red theme birthday party to that albino guy scaring them off like that. He didn't even say anything to them. He didn't threatened them so why are they being so scared of him?
I looked at my palm and I remember how peculiarly hot his skin was. I don't even think that a person could reach that body temperature.
Helen came back and she told that she will just assign me to the stock room and I agreed. I changed my outfit and wore my uniform. Lifting boxes are a hundred percent better than serving them and getting treated like that.
I walked silently to the stock room as the party continues. The loud music can be heard from here and I couldn't even tell if they really continued to party after all the commotion earlier.
I lifted a slightly heavy box of champagnes. I have to be extremely careful because I could trip and shattered all of this. I know how freaking expensive these liquors are. This is Travis' job and yes, this is actually supposedly a guy's job but since there are only female employees for tonight. I insisted on doing this instead rather than facing the guests.
"Wooo." I released a deep sigh when I've successfully transferred the box to the cellar. I glanced at the remaining boxes and I still have a lot to go.
It felt like hours just by lifting the box and putting it in the cellar. "Oh no." I groaned when I saw the last remaining box. It's so big and is going to be so heavy, of course. I wanted to open it and removed the bottles and just put it back again but it's sealed.
"Wine." I read. These are going to be so expensive. I prepared myself and extended my hand to lift the box but it didn't even budge. I tried again but it's just not working.
I can already go home if I successfully lift this last remaining box to the cabinet. "Arghh!" I tried to groan and carry it but it's just too heavy for me.
"Need a hand?" A man's voice said. I winced when I recognized his voice. It's the albino guy again.
What is he doing here?
He walked towards me and he lifted the box with just one hand and put it to its proper place. He lifted it like a feather. "T-Thanks." I stuttered. He stares at me again with his green almond-shape eyes.
He stepped forward and I stepped backwards. He continued stepping forward closing the gap between us. "C-Can I help you?" I asked but he just smiled which I find very captivating.
He looked down at me because of his tower height. My height can only reach his hard chest. I could feel my heart racing as he lifted his hand to caress my cheeks. I should be pushing him and screaming for help but it felt like he just fulfilled a missing piece of me.
"I finally found you." He muttered.
I don't know how and when but I've managed to ran outside. My face feels hot and I could feel my heart pounding. I can't tell if it's because I'm scared or it's a different one. My mind wants to ran away and just go home but my body wants to go inside and hug him.
I don't even freaking know why. I just met him. I don't even know his name. What is happening to me?
I saw myself walking my way home. It's 10 p.m. and I went off to work early because I've finished my job already. Helen wanted to say sorry by letting me go home and I really appreciate it.
My house is a thirty minutes walk and it's not that far really. I'm saving lots of money by walking my way home.
When I'm finally home. I noticed that the lights are already off. Tanya must be sleeping already. I went to the kitchen and cook some dinner. I had pasta for lunch earlier and it tasted good. Travis cooked it and I wasn't informed that he has a talent in cooking. Wish I could have it again for tomorrow.
"Oh! Yes I almost forgot about Travis. He'll be waiting there." I grabbed the telephone and called him.
"Hey, you're home already?" He asked.
"Yeah I went off early." I answered.
"You should have told me." He said and I chuckled. He's really sweet.
"You should be sleeping you know." I told him. We had a conversation and he asked me how it went and I didn't tell him what really happened. I don't want to worry him.
When we've finally ended our conversation, I started eating my dinner while watching my favorite movie. I've always been a fan of fantasy movies.
If only I could live like a fairytale, I'll be willing to leave everything behind.
When I finished my food I decided to watched the movie in my room. I changed in to comfortable clothes and jumped on the bed.
"Finally..." I mumbled.
I grabbed my laptop but an envelope from my nightstand caught my attention. I stared at it for like three seconds wondering where it came from. Is this Tanya's?
I grabbed the envelope and it seemed to be an invitation letter. I read the text in front silently.
"Welcome to Vortaxia."
