Noah chuckled at how innocent Daren's confused face looked when he closed his eyes earlier.
"Are you surprised? Sorry, I just wanted to tease you a bit," the brunette said.
"Oh no problem, ahahaha.... You did surprise me," Daren replied.
He looked at the man in front of him who was also wearing a hat and mask. They didn't want to be bothered by people who might recognize them like when Daren left with Ivan.
Noah smiled at how Daren laughed, he then glanced at the other Alpha who was also there who was now looking at him with a piercing gaze.
"Your bodyguard always comes with you, huh?"
"Yeah, I can't go anywhere without him. So he has to come with me now," Daren said.
"There's no other choice, then let's go in. This café is great for enjoying time together. The place is very pretty. You'll love it," Noah explained as he took Daren's hand and pulled him into the café.
Axel's eyes followed the movements of Noah, who was acting very close to the Omega. Moreover, he dared to touch Daren as if they had known each other for a long time.
Inside the café, Daren saw the inside of the cafe, what Noah said was true, the decorations inside were beautiful.
White and purple colors are combined together, along with wysteria flowers hanging from the ceiling of the cafe. The chandelier is round and very pretty and aesthetic. They was luckily there an empty table.
"Wow... This place is really nice. Do you come here often?" asked Daren while sitting in his chair.
"Yes, I've come here several times to enjoy my time here. You know, a beautiful place can bring beautiful moments too," replied the professional actor.
Outside of his hectic schedule as a famous actor, Noah loved to relax in such a beautiful place. Daren nodded in understanding.
"Did you come alone? Or maybe... With your date?"
"I come alone, occasionally with my friends. I haven't dated anyone so far. You know that we should avoid scandals, right? It would be dangerous for my partner too if my fans found out about him or her. Sometimes fans can be really horrible when it comes to their idols," Noah explained.
Daren nodded, he understood the problem of such scandals. Sometimes there were actors and actresses who used scandals to boost their popularity.
But there were also those who avoided it because they didn't want to get into trouble from some parties.
'I prefer to avoid it. I don't want my career to be ruined because of something like that,' thought Daren who tried to be careful.
The two of them ended up chatting again very intimately. It seemed that Noah, who was an Alpha, was so interested in the handsome and cute Omega like Daren.
It continued to be witnessed by Axel who was sitting with them. He was disturbed and somewhat annoyed that Daren never acted like that with him.
'He behaves normally and casually with other people, but he always teases me with his annoying nature,' Axel thought with annoyance.
Axel understood that Daren was friendly with Ivan because they had known each other for a long time, but Daren also seemed to be attracted to Noah which made the Alpha feel unfair.
'Heh, I know I only work as his bodyguard. But does he have to play me all the time, getting on my nerves while he acts normally with everyone else?'
In the middle of the conversation, Noah noticed the look in Axel's eyes that seemed to dislike him. He actually found it amusing and very interesting.
"What about you, Daren? Why don't you have a partner yet?" Noah asked as he took the man's hand and rubbed the back of his hand with his thumb.
"Me? I just haven't found the right one yet. You know, everyone always thinks Omega is nothing. To them, Omega is just a baby factory. But I don't want to be just that," Daren explained.
The look in his eyes dropped, he wanted to be the Omega that everyone recognized. He wanted to be famous like the Alphas and Betas. Even in the movie world, there were only a few Omegas who escaped and became famous. The rest were Alpha and Beta, two types of species that were always above Omega.
Noah smiled as soon as he heard that. "You have very big dreams, I admire you." He kissed the back of Daren's hand which made Axel even more upset as he watched.
Reflexively he pulled Daren's hand away from Noah. "You don't have to touch him like that," he said.
"Why not? Is it wrong for me to do that?"
"Wrong, I'm in charge of guarding and protecting him. No one can touch him for more than 10 seconds, you've exceeded that limit," replied Axel, who was making a rule because Noah had been flirting and even making physical contact.
'Now he dares to touch his hand continuously, what about later? He'll kiss him and then do more?' the bodyguard thought with annoyance.
He himself didn't understand why he felt annoyed, when it was his employer's personal business and his job was only to look after him.
"Oh could it be that you're jealous, Mr. Bodyguard?" asked Noah in a very teasing tone.
Daren was surprised to hear it, then immediately turned to Axel to know the answer from the Alpha who always guarded him at all times.
"Jealous? Heh..." Axel snorted in annoyance when he heard that. He leaned back against the back of the chair while folding his arms in front of his chest.
Instead, he replied with a dismissive laugh, as if his interlocutor's question was the most ridiculous question he had ever heard.
Seeing the bodyguard's reaction, Daren just sighed. "Never mind ignoring him. His job is to look after me anyway, not to interfere in our conversation," he said as he drank his vanilla milkshake.
"You're right." The actor smiled in satisfaction that Daren chose to ignore Axel. "Where were we?"
After two hours of chatting, Noah had to leave because he had a casting to attend that night. So he had to practice to get the role he wanted.
"I had so much fun chatting with you today, let's meet again next time," he invited.
"Sure, I'd like to see you again too," the blonde Omega replied excitedly.
He was happy to have found someone who matched his way of thinking, plus he was very kind and easy to talk to.
'I found an interesting friend besides Ivan, I should tell him about this. He'll be happy,' Daren thought.
Before Noah turned to leave Daren in front of the café, he suddenly took off his hat and lowered his mask. That left the Omega man confused by the brunette in front of him.
And without saying anything, Noah pulled down Daren's mask and kissed him briefly on the cheek.
"Eehhh?!" Daren was again taken aback by the peck on the cheek.
Noah blinked his eyes, saying it was a small gift before putting his mask and hat back on.
"Y-you don't have to do that, that's..."
"Ahahaha... You're so cute with that red face. Then I have to go, see you soon!"
Axel growled in annoyance, his hands clenched tightly at the sight of Daren who had suddenly been kissed.
'How dare he--!'
Now Daren was again silent while holding his kissed cheek, his face flushed with embarrassment and his heart beating rapidly.
'What is the meaning of this?'
They finally went home in an awkward state. Daren continued to remain silent because of the unusual peck he had received before, while Axel seemed to be very upset at how Noah had suddenly done that.
"Don't see him again."
