ALLYSA
I took a tray from the kitchen and put the order's from the costumers. When I already put them, I walked towards the door out if the kitchen and served the order. I smiled at the costumer, and serve their order.
There's a ding on the door, another costumer. I took my note and went the new arrived costumer.
"Hello Sir, May I take your or.....der." I stood frozen when I recognize that face. Maybe he wondered why I stop, so he looked at me, eyes wide, Lips parted. I swallow. He smiled at me with sparkling Blue eyes.
"Hi, Ali. Good to see you. You remember me, don't you." He said, I nod. I bit my lower lip and swallow hard again.
"Kristoff, If I'm not mistaken." I manage to say that without shaking! Holy hell!
He nods at me and then smiled.
"W-what is your order?, Sir." I said, He raised an Eye brow at me.
"Just, Kristoff please." He said still raising a brow at me.
"Nope, You are one of our costumer, so I should treat you as one." I said, the side of his lips raised, and formed an amuse smile. Good heavens!
"You, and your smart mouth." He said, praising me. I Flushed. "Do you have an answer now?" He asked.
Eyes widen, I shook my head. He just nods like he's saying "Oh?,okay I understand."
"No-now, can I take your order?"
He glance at his watch and looked at the menu, then he look at me again. "I'd like to have a ratatouille, please, one serve then one pasta." He said, I nod and wrote it on my note.
"Would that be all?" I said, He just nod. "Your Ratatouille will be serve in forty minutes while your pasta will be in twelve minutes." I smiled and was about to walk away but he called me.
"Ali."
I turned around, and gave him a 'what' look.
"Can you also give a Manggo shake?" He asked, I nod. And turn my heels and walked towards the kitchen. I cupped my chest where my heart is found, I keep on breathing in and out. Oh, god!, Why does he keeps on making me breathless?!
I gave his order to benjie. I relaxed myself first before walking out of the kitchen. When I glanced at Kristoff, he's now talking to a woman. I pursed my lips when he smiled at the woman. Must be his girlfriend. My mood sadened when I thought of 'Him' having a girlfriend. I blow a harsh breath before going to a costumer.
My mind was clouded, full of image of kristoff with his girlfriend. Minutes later kristoff's order were called so I immediately took the order and brought it to them.
I gave them a small smile then landed their trey of food. Before saying "Enjoy your food, Ma'am and Sir." I said sweetly. I saw how kristoff raised an eye brow. I turn to my heel and walked straightly. I felt kristoff's stare at my back and that made me feel uneasy. But I manage to walk straightly.
I kept myself from working so that I will keep my focus. But seems like my brain won't listen. My head is clouded, but I can still manage myself from working.
When I felt that someone was staring at my back. I manage myself to calm down. I know who it is. He is the only one staring at me. I took a deap breath before going in to the Kitchen.
I sat on the chair at the back of the caffè. I've been working hard so I had to take a break.
I remembered what Kristoff told me.
"Will you date the Rebel Tycoon?"
I stood frozen...Rebel..Tycoon?
"M-Me?" I assured.
"Of course no one else is here–except for the both of us–And yeah, it's you." He said. I blinked. In my entire life, no one ever asked me to go out on a date. "So..?"
"Ahm, C-can I sleep in it?" I asked. He just nod. "Okay. I-I should be going now." I said and took my leave.
I shook my head and took a deep breath. If he had a Girlfriend, why would he wanna go out with me? Is he cheating on his girlfriend?
That thought raised an anger in me. He had a beatiful Brunette girl with blue eyes. The girl is beutiful and looks expensive, while me? Just a poor Lady.
That thought sadend my mood. Then the door opened and a man holding a plastic bowl with pasta inside.
"Ali, Here." He provided me food.
"Thanks, Chef." I thanked Joshua our chef.
"You deserved it." He smiled. " 'kay gotta go, I have to cook, Laters Ali."
"Yeah, Later!"
He then disapeard from my view.
I ate the pasta he gave me and think through what I should answer to kristoff.
When I already think through it. I stood up carying the plastic bowl.
I entered the kitchen and put the plastic bowl on the sink.
I took my apron off and walked towards the door. When I open the door. I was surprise that kristoff was gazing at the door, that's how our eyes met. He smiled at me, while I only smile shyly.
My legs are wobbley. And my cheeks are hot. I kept on pursing my lips. As I maintain to stand up.
The Lady–who's maybe his girlfriend– looked at me, then she smiles.
"Oni-san, dōshite kanojo wa utsukushī to iwanakatta no?" The Lady asked. I think. I forehead creased.
"Sore wa anata ga tazunenakattakaradesu." Kristoff answered. Though I don't really understand what they were saying. But I know that it was Japanese though.
"H-hi..." I awkwardly greeted.
"Hi." He greeted.
"Sate, kareshi ga watashi o matte iru no o hanarete iru ni chigainai, sayōnara." The lady kissed kristoff on the cheek. But what surprise me is that she stood in front of me and kiss my cheeks to!
"I'm Kristhen Kaye Smith. I'm his li'l sister." The lady introduced herself. So she wasn't kristoff's Girlfriend? "Ops!, Must go! They're waiting for me at the beach!, bye! And it was nice meeting you, Allysa onee-chan." She bid us farewell and run off.
I faced kristoff and he has an amuse smile across his damn sexy lips!
"Take a seat Ali." He said and gestured me to sit. I take a sit where Kristhen was seated–Facing kristoff. He put his elbow on the table and rested his head there–while smiling widely at me. "How are you, Ali?" He ask
I pursed my lips and answered "I-I'm Fine. And you?"
"I better than Fine." He answeres smiling widely that even his eyes were closed. "You want to order, anything?"
I shook my head and bite the inside of my cheek. "Ahm, the question you said that night..." my introduction. He gave me a confused look.
"Yeah?, what about it?"
"Ahm, My answer is.." I pursed my lips as I answer "Yes, I would like to date you." A smile carved it's way to his lips.
"Nice choice."
I bit my lower lip as I talk again. "Ahm, I wanna ask you about something.."
"Fire away." He said as he gaze at my lips.
"You mention that night that your a 'Rebel Tycoon'?" As i fire those questions my voice were getting smaller.
I look down. As I hear no answer. I guess that was a wrong quetio—
"Yes. Yes I am." He answered. I look up and saw his handsome face looking at me—Proudly.
"If your asking if I'm doing something illegal in my business, then yes. Yes I am."
I stared at his handsome Face again. I look deep into his eyes. They were fild with worry and sacred?
Those beautiful Blue Eyes. It was fild with Sadness and Fear. No one else could see it but me.
"So..?"
I immediately look away, when I was brouht back.
"When are you free?"
"Satudays and Sundays."
"Very well then. Are you free this evening?"
I looked up and think if I have to do anything later. But I found Nothing.
"Nope. I don't."
"Okay. I'll see you this evening, then." He stood up and walk towards my direction. So I stood up. But I was surprise when He crashed his lips on mine, and kissed it passionately. It was fild with need, Hunger and another feeling that I can't voice out.
When he let go of my lips. He stared at me for a minute before smiling. I stared at his smile.
"I'll see you this evening. Bye." He once again kiss me, but it was just a smack.
I breath out all of the air I was holding. And I didn't even remember being so breathless.
I cupped my chest where my hear is located. It was beating so Fast. So Darn Fast.
KRISTOFF
I fish out my phone when it started ringing. When I looked at it. I answered it immediately.
[Kristoff, How are you, son?, and also your sister. Do tell her to pick up my call. She won't answer me.] I smiled as I hear my mother's loving Voice.
"Hey, Mom. I'm fine. Kristhen's Fine too. She's with Marco, though. And thair having a date. You know Kristhen, when she's doing something important, she'll shut down her phone so that no one can disturb her."
[Okay, Looks like she has found her happiness, although I want her here, to marry Stephen.] My mother said. Mentioning our childhood friend.
"You want her to marry Stephen? Mom Stephen already has a girlfriend and it was that Bitch!" I spat those words. Remembering what happened back in the day. Kristhen said she already forgave Krissy—The bitch I've been talk'n about— My li'l sister is just too kind. I heard my mother sigh.
[Kristoff, when your father was alive. He wants stephen to be kristhen's wife. Even your Tito thinks so too. And also Me and Stacey. There's still hope. Stephen will remember who he really loves. You know that." Yeah, she's right. I heaved a sigh.
"Okay. But when?"
[Maybe, after one year ot Two..?, I don't know the only thing I wanna do is kristhen to be married with stephen.]
I heave a sigh again. I pinch the bridge of my nose and close my eyes shut. "Okay. I should be going now, I have important things to do. Talk to you later. Bye Mom. Love you."
[Okay, Bye Son. Love you too. Take care.]
"Yes Mom. You too." I said and ended the call. I dialed a number and called it. It's ringing.
"Yes?"
"Ridge, How's the—"
[Already done, Boss.] He cut me off.
"Okay, thanks." I said and ended the call.
It'a Time for my date!
ALLYSSA
My brow's forrowed when I saw myself in the mirror. Pfft, I look like a Lady in 80's.
I shook my head and tried the off shoulder ruffle dress. It's color is baby pink. And I kinda like it. I wore the dress. And it perfectly fits.
I smiled at the mirror as I see myself. I think I'm good. I wonder what will kristoff tell me about it?
I took a killer heels and slid it on. It has the same color.
Now My hair. My hair is too straight so I decided to curl it. Perfect!
Now my face. I put just right amount of powder and put lipstick–it's the only make up I have though.
I pursed my lips as I stare at myself on the mirror. Well, I think I'm okay. Not as elegant as everyone around him, but I guess this will do. Speaking of Kristoff what might his reaction on me be?
I took a deep breath before going out of my room. My brother who's watching TV, turn his head around as his eyes widen. Looking at me, it looks like he saw a ghost than his Sister ready for a date.
"Wow!" Andrew exclaimed with a surprise look on me. "Jesus!, Sis! Where are you going? You look like your going in a Date or something." Andrew said, teasingly.
"Yup, I'm on a date." I said honestly. His mouth dropped as he look at me. While I'm still smiling.
"You serious?"
I rolled my eyes and walk towards the door. "Yup, I'll be back. And don't worry I'll be fine. He's a good man." I think. I said and smile at my brother before going out.
I was taken aback when I saw a Black Bugatti la voiture noire. It was the most expensive Car in the whole wide world. Then there's a man leaning on a car wearing a black polo with his hands on his pockets. He was looking at his side. He looked like a Model. Even though it was dusk his face was as clear as the white clouds and his blue eyes. It's like a star at night when you stare at it. It's beautiful.
He then look at me. Which caught me off guard. Eyes popped out, lips parted. He was staring at me. I could hardly look at him.
My whole body us trembling. And I can't think clearly. All I could see is, Kristoff, Walking towards me with burning eyes. I bit my lower lip as I gaze at my foot. I felt embarassed.
"Hi." He greeted. I raise my gaze at him.
"Hi." I whisper. He smiled at me while gazing every inch on me.
"Wow." He whisper "You look..." He seems to not know what to say. I purse my lips.
"Thank you. So do you." I said. A corner of his lips rose up.
"Thank you. Shall we?" He said as he offer his hands. I stared at it first before I took his hands.
"Yes." I said smiling. He smiled at me too. He then. He guided me to his expensive car. He opened the door and let me in. I thanked him and he just smiled at me.
I saw him turn to his side and open the door and get in the car. He smile at me first —I flushed. He turned the car on and drove us off my house.
The both of us were silent. I feel awkward. And I want to start a conversation but nothing would come out.
I look at my hands then look at the window. I was surprise when I saw his reflection. I saw him looking at me. And then turn his gaze at the front.
I stared at the window—Mostly like staring at kristoff. I flushed of what I said in my mind. Jesus!
I stare at the lights of seattle. Feel amaze at the view. The sky scrapers of seattle. Blinking lights. Busy streets.
When the car stop. I look at kristoff who's now taking his seatbelt off. He look at me. Then he gets out of the car. Turn around and open the door. I look at him as he offer his hand to me. I took it and got out of the car. He used his other hand to close the door before looking at me.
"Come." He said. We both walk at the....Hotel? I gulp. What are we doing here at the hotel? Will we—?
I pursed my lips and took a deep breath. I think I've read something like this. We're gonna.....jesus christ!
We both entered the elevator. He's still holding my hand when were both inside.....Just the two of us!
I kept myself calm. Trying not to burst. C'oz I know anytime now I will errupt. I'm hearing up. And I know I'm sweating!
I heard kristoff chuckle a li'l. I pouted. What was he thinking?
"S-sorry. I just found you cute. Your so adorable when you blush, allysa." He praised me, smiling. I blush again. And I heard him Chuckle. I pout. "Stop biting your lip, or I'll bite it for you." He warned. I grin. I bit my lower lip again. "Ali." He warned again. I bite my lip again. In just a second he was in front of me and now....Kissing me!
He kissed me hard. Then he bite my lower lip. He sucked it after to wipe the sting away. He then pulls over.
We were both gasping for breath. "Stubborn. Huh, Allysa?" He said. I grin.
Then the elevator ding. The breeze from the outside. I shivered as I felt cold. Kristoff looks at me worriedly.
"'You cold?" he ask.
"A li'l." I answered.
"Should we get you a jacket? My hotel room is just underneath. We'll get you one." He said and pressed the button of the elevator. Without even hearing my answer!
We are now in his room. Full of kristoff' s scents. It's all over the place! And looks like anytime now I'll be able to errupt!
"Come." He said and pulled me close. He let me sit down on his bed, while he takes a Jacket on his closet.
"Here it is. I don't think it'll fit, but this should keep you warm." He said as he put the jacket on my shoulder. "There. Better?" I smiled and nods. "Shall we?" I nod again. As he pull me up. I took a glance on his bedside. It's a little far but I can clearly see a Five people in it. There's a woman embracing a man. And there's three kids. Two boys and a girl. They were all facing at the camera–smiling. They looked so happy.
"My Family." I was brought back when Kristoff spoke. I look at him. He was looking at the picture too. His eyes were sad. Oh, Kristoff.
"May I ask, where they are?" I ask. I couldn't help it. It pains my chest when I see him sad.
He look at me before answering "My mother and my other brother are in Philippines. While Kristhen is with his boyfriend, He lives at the next room. While my father..." He pursed his lips and swallow hard. He averted his eyes "... He's Dead."
Shock. That's what I'm feeling. I felt like part of me just died. His... Father.... Is... DEAD.
I wanna ask how. But seeing his sad eyes. I didn't. I gaze down on my foot, feeling guilty I ask.
"S-Sorry. I didn't know."
"It's fine. At least my Father is happy wherever he is. Let's go?" I just nod at what he says.
'Well, Maybe Mom and Dad already met Kristoff' s Father... And they're happy'
To be continued...
