Harmony was mesmerized because of the view that was in front of them. It seemed that the place didn"t have just the romantic view but it also had a hidden magical attraction.
Synchronous fireflies viewing.
She never thought that she would be able to catch a glimpse of this rare phenomena. It was life changing for her since this was a rare light show that many people awaited to see.
It was one-of-a-kind dazzling natural phenomena. And, she didn"t know what to say to Drake. How could he even think about this?It lasted for a couple of seconds.
And, she was speechless standing from the distance of the fireflies.
She never thought that she would ever experience this in her entire life.
Harmony didn"t notice that her tears already came out of her eyes. The mixture of emotions inside her and it was so intense that she felt like she was going to explode. The happiness and the pain intertwined. Her heart was heavy and at the same time there was a pinching sensation with a touch of happiness she never thought that Drake could bring in her life.
She never thought that this would be going to happen. Pretension or not, she didn"t care. It was just so overwhelming.
Her tears started to flow and she couldn"t stop it from coming out from her eyes.
"Oh, God. I didn"t bring you here to cry. I thought you would like to see them," Drake said while he was wiping her tears with his thumbs.
She sniffed.
"I— I am sorry. I just didn"t expect to see that. It was so magical. It was like for a second, I forgot all the things that I am going through in life. In an instant, I thought I was in my own world," she mumbled.
Drake was just smiling at her.
"You are such a cry baby," he said and then he pinched her cheeks.
She was surprised by his gesture. Harmony didn"t know how to react. She was staring at the man"s face who seemed to be very happy at the moment.
Harmony couldn"t buy the joy that she could see at Drake"s face. It was so different from the usual Drake Villarama.
The Drake Villarama that she met a couple of weeks ago at the restaurant who offered her to be his pretend girlfriend in an emotionless voice. She could still remember how she hated him for being conceited and rude."I am sorry. But I know that I should thank you for bringing me here. Though I know you sai—-"
Drake put one of his fingers in her mouth to stop her from talking.
"Shh... Let"s enjoy the night and I did this because I should be doing this. I hope it somehow lightened the load that you have right heart," he said and then he pointed to his own heart.
Harmony couldn"t help but smile. It seemed that her pretend boyfriend could feel what was inside her heart.
"Sometimes, I wonder why people meet. Why do they cross paths? And when I met you, maybe, there is a reason for it.
It"s more than what we know," Drake suddenly said, which made her puzzled.
"What do you mean?" She said while looking at the man who was looking nowhere at the moment.
He shook his head and then he guided her to turn around. Drake held her hands again and then they started to walk.
Harmony just shrugged her shoulders. She decided just to enjoy every moment of what they were doing. She could feel that she and Drake were sharing something special which she couldn"t explain in words.
She never experienced this moment even with Paul. That man would always be busy and she would always be waiting for him at the coffee shop and when he would finally come, he would be tired. He would stay for a couple of minutes then he would ask her to go home.
But, that never changed anything. She had always loved him and that never changed despite that the man didn"t have any time for her.
Suddenly, she felt that pinching sensation again inside her chest. She couldn"t quite imagine how everything that Paul had been even possible.
How did he fall out of love with her when she did nothing but love him?
She let out a deep sigh. She looked at Drake. And, she wondered what kind of love story the man already experienced? Why did he need to hire her as a girlfriend instead of getting one for himself? That should be so easy since he was rich and he was handsome. What was holding him back in a real relationship?
Harmony couldn"t help but think.
"Thank you for this night, Drake. I know that you said you wanted to do it because of everything but still, thank you," she said and then she didn"t wait for him to open the door. She got inside of the car so she wouldn"t hear any of his words.
She knew him. He would say again that they were not allowed to fall in love as a part of their agreement.
But she couldn"t explain to herself what she was feeling at the moment. The past couple of hours, Drake just changed her life and how her heart was beating. So, what did he expect her to feel after all the things that she had seen?
What Drake was thinking when he exerted effort and brought her to this place? He knew for sure that her heart would be taken away by these things. Her eyes widened when she realized the thoughts that were inside her mind.
It couldn"t be.
She said and then she bit her lower lip.But what if what"s inside her head was really happening between her and Drake? She really had a strong feeling.
What should she be doing? Should she confront Drake and make him confess about the things that are running inside his mind?
