Evelyn's POV
"TRISTAN!! Where is the person I'm about to meet" "Yeah I'm at the location you sent. Don't tell me he cancelled, I'll kill you!" "Alright but I'll only wait for five minutes not a second more!" With that I ended the call and tossed the phone inside my handbag. I was in front of a famous Italian restaurant. Not my fault! Mr unknown chose the meeting location anyway.
"Ms Hill" A middle aged man in suit approached me. "Yes?"
"I'm appointed to lead you to your table, please follow me" He said and turned his face toward the restaurant, ready to walk inside. I nodded my head before following him inside.
The restaurant was good but nothing to be impressed about, not for me at least, I've seen more beautiful and big places.
That man was leading me to the elevator. where are we going actually. I thought to ask him. "Where are we going?"
"Top floor" The answer was short and didn't kill any of my curiosity. But I restrained myself from asking anymore questions. I'll going to him in a few minutes anyway, so why not ask him myself instead of bully this man.
I heard the ding sound as the elevator stopped. The man tood the lead again and I followed him outside the elevator.
There was no one there. I looked at around, all the tables were empty, not like there were many. Just a few, but empty.
"There's no one here-" where did the man go? Now I was completely alone.
I walked to the glass wall and stood there to watch the city, as I didn't have much to do.
"Hey" I flinched at the sudden voice behind me. I turned and, well It was the least expected person I saw.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I'm the owner of that land" Haha Fuck my life. I don't understand. Am I that unlucky or my luck just stopped working anymore.
"Then I don't need it anymore" I walked past him, but he won't let me go easily of course. He grabbed my wrist, pulled me to his chest. My heart started beating like crazy, It was my first time getting close to a man, specially him. Suddenly the scene of him making out with that girl flashed in my mind. I pushed him slightly, not enough to hurt him, physically or emotionally. He let out a sigh. "Evelyn please listen to me first, let me explain then you can do whatever you like" He said softly. He never spoke to me like that before. I needed explanation.I wanted him to explain himself, explain that it wasn't true. Whatever I saw was a mistake, that my eyes got some virus stuck inside them and I was hallucinating
things.
"Explain" I said in such a childish and demanding tone that his let out a laugh, before leading me to a table. When we both settled down he spoke.
"You know you can remove your shades, it's already night" Oh well! about that, I can't do that, unless I want him to see my red and puffy eyes, that was caused by him.
"I'm fine" hoping he won't ask anything about them. And I was right, he didn't. Because, he just removed the shades himself. He really needs to keep his hands to himself. I wanted to strangle him for what just did.
"Woah! What happened to your eyes- did you cry?" I lowered my head to his eyes. I was just so embarrassed that I couldn't meet my eyes with him.
"Explain yourself or I'm going" I didn't know, that I was good at threatening people. But it seems, this is only gonna work on him.
"Right" He cleared his throat. "It wasn't like what you think"
"Think what"
"I didn't kiss her. She was about to, but you barged in"
"Did I interrupt you?"
"Yes you did. And I'm glad for that"
"Huh-uh" I made a face, clearly telling him. I didn't believe a shit.
"I didn't do anything. I don't even know her or how did she enter the building. she said she's a fan so I just tried to be nice but she started being clingy and-"
"And wanted you to fuck her. You want me to believe that?" I rolled my eyes, jokingly. I pressed my lips together, controlling my smile when I saw his dull face.
"I believe you" he looked at me as if I'm crazy. "I watched the camera footage of your studio"
"You installed a camera inside my studio?" Yes. not just your studio but everywhere it seem needed. There were cameras before but not everywhere, but now I want to keep an eye everywhere. I didn't mean to invade anyone's privacy but to keep my idols safe from this kind of situations. But I watched the footage not so long ago, so I did actually cry for absolutely no reason.
"Yes"
"where?"
"You don't need to know that" He didn't need to know that, it is a spy camera with microphone, inside the status of a doll, in the corner of the studio. He will never notice that.
"Okay fine! Now your turn, why did you cry? You were fine till afternoon, when you- wait. Did you cry because you saw me with that girl and you thought I'm not serious with you? It hurted you, Isn't it?" A smile formed on his lips. The genuine smile not that annoying smirk.
"N-No" Now I was no longer sitting on the table, I got up and walked toward the glass wall again.
"You didn't answer my question" He whispered in my ear, letting his warm breathe on my skin, he was behind me, I could feel his presence behind me. He was really close that our bodies could touch with minimum movement, the thoughts made me shiver.
I gulped before answering. "You think too highly of yourself" I faked a scoff, not giving him the satisfaction of thinking I got soft.
"Don't you think you should apologize, after hurting me so much and then blaming me to cheat on you, I mean we aren't even dating but still I stayed loyal not like you, hanging out with other guys"
"Right. I know I hurted you with my words, a lot. I can't change that. But I do want to apologize. Even though I didn't like you, or you broke my car, forced me to do things I didn't want to, but still words are bitter than the actions. I feel guilty. I'm sorry" I seriously don't know why am I getting emotional over these things, maybe because I cried so much and I want to cry more. When his eyes meet mine, My eyes started tearing up.
All the things I said to him before, hurted me as well. I pretended not to be affected by that but now I can't. It needed to be done anyway.
"Hey hey hey, I was just joking okay? Don't cry, please" He cupped my face gently, and wiped my tears with both his thumbs. "You can torture me all you want, I don't mind" he whispered the last part, making me smile a little.
I know I wouldn't do that in any other situation but right now this is the thing I needed the most. I removed his hands from my face and wrapped my arms around his torso, keeping my face on his warm and comfortable chest. It made me smile when he wrapped his arms securely around me. I felt safe. Like nothing can hurt me. I was just so unaware of my feelings. I closed my eyes and listened to his calm heart beat. It was probably the best thing I've ever felt.
