I can't look into his eyes, while his eyes were on mine. I swallowed even more because our eyes didn't break, his gaze was on me and did not even blink. it was only broken when our order arrived. I ordered lemon juice and chocolate-flavored cake. While he only drinks and has no cake or food. He stared at me so deeply, I noticed that his eyes dropped to my lips and then to my eyes.
I took a bite to relieve the deafening silence.
"Uhm, I was busy, you know, managing my father's company in New York, which is exhausting." I laughed feignedly, and he still looked at me without any expression.
"Really?" He drank his drink and stared at me darkly.
"Don't put on that act for me, Lara." I stopped laughing and gulped. I licked my lips and shifted my seat. He bit his lower lip and tried to say something but couldn't.
"What exactly do you mean?" My expression changes easily. He smirked while shaking his head. He doesn't believe in me. Is it possible that he didn't believe me? Maybe he investigated me already.
"I know you heard me before we arrived at the restaurant." He whispered, I gulped again and didn't remember anything before we arrived here. Did he say something? Oh, he was telling me something earlier. but the tone of his voice seemed his hurt.
"I'll tell you straight Lara. I want to get to know you more than you think." He drinks his water and suddenly his eyes were avoiding me again as if I was doing something wrong.
"Ah, is that it? You know- uhm-" I continued but I shuttered, but he didn't let me finish.
"I'm sorry if I kissed you last time. I thought I was being fast and you looked startled by that." I smiled fakely and nodded at him. He was now looking at me, I suddenly got nervous because E's eyes are on my lips.
"Oh yes, I was shocked and left you immediately. I'm sorry, I'm not used to kissing someone that I didn't know." I smiled; the surroundings suddenly became warm even though it was an open restaurant. A breeze was hitting us earlier but now... the wind is blowing differently.
"Thank you... so, what is your real name?" Suddenly our eyes met which is why I avoided it immediately. I also coughed out of nowhere because I wasn't ready for such conversations.
"Hey, are you okay?" His voice got worried.
"Yes, there was something in my throat… and uhm," Be classy, be expensive. I heard Renz's voice and I shook my head.
"I'm Lara Sebastian." Clarens's Last name.
"How about you?" I sip on my juice.
"Evron Evilgreen, I manage this hotel for now. We're on vacation, where are you studying?" He's staring at my lips; if I'm not mistaken, there's a glint that I can't read.
" I stopped and managed my father's farm here. I was here for vacation. He has other businesses in New York. I was there last week." I lied.
How many did actually, I use? Renz said that's what people say when there's nothing to say. It seems to be effective.
He was staring at me as if amazed. He smiled; I think that smiles were not enough to hold his stomach from laughing.
"Are you..." I interrupted; I think I embarrassed myself already. "Are you still studying? What course?" Even though I know all that, I also know about his life because of his admirers at school.
"I have no girlfriend," he suddenly said. "That's the truth." just a fling? Suddenly my mind interrupted, no, I don't care, I know this man because he is famous at our university, and he is one of the members of Alligators a group of basketball players,
"Oh really? Wow!" I was acting surprised and did not know what he was doing inside the university.
"What is your sport?" I asked if I even knew he was also a member of the Alligators, the basketball team that managed to go to the top and win multiple awards.
"I love playing basketball with and I am one of the members at my school. I also love swimming and riding horses." He answered. I suddenly blushed because he said that to me without stopping, does he want to get to know me better? I can't quite imagine that this is how an Evron Evilgreen.
It's funny because I thought he was grumpy. He has a strong expression, thick eyebrows, sharp green eyes, and a sharp jaw. He also has perfect teeth and a perfect smile. I can also resist him if he courts me, but as long as I remember, I was not of the same status as him. He's on top, owner and eldest of Evilgreen, while I'm just a simple girl living with her high dreams. I was just nothing like him. I was poor and living in a small community where I couldn't have a billionaire like him. I smiled fakely and our eyes met.
"I... I just love swimming and drawing." He shifted his seat and became more focused on our deep conversation.
"So, you like to draw? I'm an architecture student." He bit his lips, and I suddenly avoided it. I was blushing because he was getting more and more curious about everything I said.
"What did you finish?" he asked.
What it is exactly though? But Renz said to change the topic about that when we have a deep conversation.
"You know... I like crabs." I immediately change the topic, Exactly, I saw a crab. He suddenly turned his head to the waiter who brought the crab to the other table. I was just surprised that he called him and ordered. I didn't think he would do that, is there no end to this conversation? He even ordered a very expensive dish.
"Let's eat while talking." He gave me a piece of crab that I could already eat. While he does that, I can't manage to look at his back and some veins showing in his hands. He wore a shirt, showing his side down to his stomach. I can tell he has a beautiful body. I looked away when he was done. So, I smiled feignedly again to lessen my stress. When will this be done? I want to leave and breathe already. To be more formal, I observe my surroundings as they eat and drink their juices.
I imitated that, later on, we finished and he ordered dessert.
"Are you free tomorrow?" he asked, I stopped eating my dessert and looked at him.
"Why? I asked if he would bring down his utensils and wipe his lips using a tissue. He appears to be expensive. He looked at my lips. He then licked his lower lips and bit them.
"I can teach you how to ride a horse tomorrow. We've owned the mansion over there." He pointed out his finger to the north, where their mansion is famous and a lot of people living here knew them. I gulped and couldn't look away and still stopped. He would bring me to their mansion? I can't even look at that mansion because they owned a fucking hectare.
In the mansion he is talking about, there is a lot of lands, plantations, and other businesses of his family here. I want to go home; I didn't expect this.
"Huh?"
"Do you know how to ride a horse?" He asked.
"N-no... just what... I'm happy just to see the riders. So, when you ride them, I'm happy." I smiled too wide.
"Ow really so I can teach you tomorrow. Where will I pick you up?"
"Huh?" It still hasn't sunk into my brain.
"So, you can meet my mommy too. She's here last week until now, she's nice." The jerk smiled widely.
"All right..." I almost passed out.
I just told him to pick me up at the hotel because I checked in. Before I agreed, I asked Renz for help on what to do. I felt relieved because he strengthened me. I didn't think I needed to fix it but he said it was necessary because it was the mansion of the Evilgreens and they were richer than I thought.
I went to the lobby and wore sunglasses, I also learned to curl my hair and only did it on the lower part of my hair. In the hall of the resort, I saw him on a horse, right? Shouldn't it be a car? And why it is only one? Where can I seat?
I saw him wearing a milk-colored button polo with the other two unbuttoned. Which is perfect for him. I averted his eyes from mine, he couldn't take his eyes off the horse.
Last night I also texted Tita that tell Mama that I will be home in the morning and the afternoon. I feel confident that Mom has trust in me.
"We will ride in your horse?" I didn't take off my big sunglasses because it was sunny today.
"Yes, I'll guide you. He suddenly picked me up so I screamed a little, I felt him on my back follow me after.
"Hiya!" His horse ran.
My outfit was embarrassing, oh my god! I was wearing pants and a crop top, I thought we were going to ride in a car and I didn't expect it to be like this.
"We will arrive faster if Green will run faster."
"Green?" I asked he was behind me and we were bouncing because of the pace of his horse.
"Yes, the name of the horse we are riding, they are two of my pets. I did use him because he has just been fresh from bathed and has new clothes."
His horse is brown and has wild hair, clothes, and shoes. It seems that Green has been experiencing a good life, than me.
