CHAPTER 9
Talliah Eryn Castillego POV
THE thought of having a date with the man I love made me excited to the core. My heart is beating so fast inside my chest as I was driving to their house.
I will pick him up at their house. I want us to date like a normal couple. I want to experience holding hands with the man I love in an amusement park. I want people to see that I own him.
But sadly we are going to another place of amusement park. Because someone might see us here. I'm his professor in his one subject and it's not right if they might see me with him.
Caelan Rainer Vassamonte is the dream since I was twenty one. I didn't ask for anything before if he wasn't mine. He's the person I want to be mine. Way back I didn't believe in love... until I met him.
They say love is the cringest thing in the world and you will do everything for love... that even if you've been hurt, when you love, you keep loving that person. Now, I understand why so many people in the world are crazy about love. Because I am also one of them.
When I got to their house, my heart beat faster as I got out of the car.
"Sister Eryn!"
Someone excitedly called me. I smiled widely when I saw Caelana being held by Rainer. My heart swelled with so much happiness and joy seeing my man so handsome in his simple black V neck shirt, tattered jeans and white shoes. I waved my hand cutely at them.
Lana ran towards me and hug my waist. Rainer scratched the back of his neck while looking at me.
He cleared his throat first before speaking "Uhm.. Can we take her with us? Mama had something important to do. So no one will watch over her." He said while looking deeply into my eyes.
I smiled sweetly at him and looked at Lana to smile.
"Of course. it would be fun, we're just like a happy and complete family. Having a date together." I uttered while chuckling.
Rainer smirked while checking me from head to toe. His brown orbs dancing in amusement while looking at me. Maybe he was happy because what I wore was not very sexy. I wore a light pink off shoulder, pair with jeans and a doll shoes. I'm so simple today yet so pretty.
"Alright, get in."
Lana happily entered the backseat while Rainer entered the passenger seat. I couldn't smile while driving to the amusement park where we were going because I could feel Rainer staring at me once in a while. I feel like my heart is going to explode because of nervousness.
I looked at Lana in the rear view mirror and saw that she was fine and happily staring out of the car. I was thankful that we had arrived so quickly that I could breathe a little easier.
"Hey, are you nervous?" I jumped a bit when I felt someone touch my arm.
I looked up and saw Rainer looking worriedly at me. I tried to smile to ease my nervousness.
"A bit." I chuckled awkwardly.
"You want us to date some other day?" He asked softly. I shook my head and smiled.
"We're here so let's make the most of it. I'm just so nervous because this is my first time." I uttered honestly that made his eyes widen.
"It's your first time to go to the amusement park?" He asked shocked. I shook my head and laughed.
I bit my bottom lip and sighed "No it's not. I'm nervous and happy at the same time because I'm with the man I love."
I muttered while looking deeply at his brown orbs. He blinked and quickly looked away from me before biting his lowerlip. I could clearly see how his whole face turned red.
Holding Lana in his right hand, they entered the amusement park. I was pissed when they didn't even wait for me. I walked faster to catch up with them. I immediately held Rainer's hand that made him jump a bit. I intertwined our fingers together and I smiled sweetly at him. Ah... this is my dream. His lips parted as he stared at our clasped hands but he didn't say anything and just let me.
I thought he would be angry and pull away but he just let me hold his hand. The butterflies in my stomach went in chaos as we entered the amusement park. Lana's soft giggles at her Big Brother's side did not escape my ears.
***
I see a lot of people when we enter. Mostly children with their parents. I smiled while looking at the different rides. Something tugged my heart when memories from the past kept flashing inside my head.
A complete family inside an amusement park. A fine woman holding his daughter's right hand while a handsome man hugs her waist possessively. They were smiling happily as they rode every ride. Their daughter was so happy because her family is complete, bonding and laughing together. They treasured every second as if it was their last day together.
My heart ached when that beautiful scene vanished inside my head.
I shook my head when my tears started to pool in the corner of my eyes. This particular amusement park has a very special place in my heart. We always go here every end of the month, without fail. I had a complete and happy family back then. I didn't ask for anything else before because I already have everything. My Mom and Dad worked so hard for me and for my future. Our empire is the highest in the business world, which is why Dad has many opponents in the business world. they envy my parents so bad. . . until one day, we just found out that Dad was gone.
Someone killed him because of jealousy. From then on, our world collapsed. Our once complete and happy family is gone forever.
Especially Mommy, she really couldn't accept Daddy's loss. She loves my Dad so much that when Dad disappeared, she has become so depressed until she lost her mind. And if you're asking me where is she now, my Mom has been staying in a mental hospital.
How is she now? I hope, sometimes she at least thinks of me.

I blinked when two hands cupped my face. Rainer's worried face is looking intently at me.
"Hey, are you okay?" He asked worriedly while wiping away the tears falling from my eyes.
I laughed and wiped away the tears. I was crying without even realizing it.
"Yes I'm fine. I just remembered something. Don't worry about me." I smiled and touched his cheeks to assure him that I'm definitely fine.
He stared at me intensely and just sighed "If you have a problem tell me. You can't just cry." He uttered while caressing my cheeks.
I closed my eyes and felt the softness of his palm on my face. I slowly opened my eyes and smiled sincerely at him.
"Thank you." I mumbled with sincerity. Thank you for coming into my life.
Because of Caelan Rainer Vassamonte I feel alive again. From the moment I met him, I felt like I was alive again. When I saw him smile genuinely it was like he gave me hope to live. He made me realize that life is so beautiful and I should stop hurting inside. His smile became my medicine. His laughter is my salvation. I want to own him because he makes me feel alive.
I want to live longer in this world because of him. I want to see a bright future with him. He's my Obsession that I will forever love. His existence makes me feel alive. I swear and promise to myself that as long as I am breathing he is the only Man I will only love until eternity. I won't agree if it's not Rainer.
Only Rainer until my last breath. Until the afterlife.
I cried when he suddenly hugged me tightly. My tears started streaming down like a damn falls as he hugged me tightly.
I clutched his shirt when I felt my heart tightened. Not because I'm hurting inside but because my heart is so happy. I'm so happy because my baby is hugging me.
"Don't cry. I'm not used to seeing you like this. I like a cocky and happy Talliah." he whispered huskily while caressing my back.
I bit my lower lip to stop my sobs. I'm so thankful to God because he gave me this Man.
"Stop crying Mommy. My heart is hurting seeing your tears." He whispered that made me cry more.
Oh God! How can you be this good? I believe that you have not abandoned me. Even though Daddy was gone, you gave me a man like Rainer. My innocent and soft baby.
"Sister Eryn. Why are you crying?" I stopped crying when I saw Caelana behind Rainer carrying three cotton candies.
I quickly let go of Rainer's hug and quickly wiped my tears. Rainer helped me while there was still concern in his eyes. I looked away from him and faced Lana.
"Ah nothing. I'm just happy because the three of us will be together. Did you buy cotton candy?" I asked happily while staring at the cotton candy she was holding.
Lana stared at me for so long. I just blinked when she suddenly came to me and hugged me. I smiled because of how sweet she is. Rainer and her is both sweet.
"I love you sister Eryn. Brother and I love you." Lana softly whispered that made my heart swell in so much happiness.
I love both of you too. Especially your brother.
"Do you want to ride the Ferris wheel?" I asked Lana while caressing her hair. She nodded happily and jumped happily.
"I want to ride sister. Shall we ride?" Lana excitedly held my hand.
"Oh sister, this is for you, this is for you, Brother." She gave me the pink cotton candy while Rainer got the blue one.
I jumped a bit when someone held my right hand and intertwined our fingers. I looked up only to see Rainer smiling at me. My heart started beating faster because of his moves. I can't stop myself for falling deeply in love with him.
Hand in hand we walked where the Ferris Wheel was. The three of us happily entered and sat on the seats. Lana was in the middle of us happily eating cotton candy. I enjoyed watching her while she's bust eating.
I took my cellphone out of my pocket to take a picture of her.
"Lana smile." I told her happily. She happily smiled at the camera with the cotton candy. I was laughing while taking her picture.
"Let me borrow." Rainer said, I blink my eyes.
I cleared my throat first before speaking "Do you want to take a picture? I'll just take it a picture of you." I said softly.
He shook his head causing me to frown.
"I already have a lot of pictures in your room, don't I? So don't. I want to borrow your phone." he said making my whole face turn red. I looked at Lana to see if she heard what Rainer said but I was relieved to see that she was busy with her cotton candy.
My heart us beating loudly inside my chest while giving my phone to Rainer. He smiled as he accepted it and fiddled with it.
"Mommy Smile." he ordered me while holding the cellphone.
My eyes widened because of shock, my lips parted a bit then I heard a click of a camera.
I heard Rainer manly chuckle while looking at my phone.
"You look so cute here." He said laughing while staring at the picture he took. I suddenly frowned as he laughed harder.
He even took many pictures of me. Lana and I were with someone else and the three of us. We are happy the whole ride. After riding the Ferris wheel, we went on another ride. I could see that Lana was enjoying herself. we laughed and laughed throughout the rides. We made the most of the time while the three of us were together.
And Rainer did nothing but be sweet. Smiling while looking at our pictures on my phone. My heart is so happy while watching our photos together.
I felt someone sitting next to me so I looked up and saw Rainer's smiling face. I smiled back at him.
He handed me a water bottle. I promptly accepted it and drank from it. I was so thirsty a while ago that I didn't even realize it because I was so happy.
"Where's Lana?" I promptly asked Rainer who was just staring at me.
He messed up his sweaty hair and smiled at me "Buying ice cream." He answered meekly while staring at my face.
I avoided looking at him and focused my gaze infront. Even if it's already late noon, there are still many people in the park. I bet there will be more at night.
"Where's your phone?" Rainer asked so he grabbed my attention. I gave him my phone and turned my gaze back to the front.
Today he saw my vulnerable side. He saw me cry. And all he did was to comfort me. I'm afraid that I will always crave for his presence every time I'm sad.
My forehead furrowed when I heard a click of a camera. I tilted my head to his side only to see Rainer biting his lower lip.
"Your nose is so pointed, isn't it?" He said amaze while staring at my picture.
I smirked at him "Did you just realize it now? For how many times we kissed?" I asked while laughing. I thought he would react differently but I was surprised when he laughed softly.
Wow! Did he just laugh sincerely again? Just the two of us?
"Let's take a picture," He suddenly said that made my eyes widened. Did he just make a first move?
I smiled at him and pinched his cheeks "Alright." I said laughing
He moved closer to me. He holds the camera. I smiled sweetly at the camera and so did he. We did wacky poses and other facial expressions. I was surprised when he suddenly kissed me on the cheek and took a picture of it.
My heart beats crazily faster seeing our pictures together. We are so fit for each other. I touch our faces on the screen as Rainer was laughing bedside me.
"Are you going to put that in your room?" He asked while looking intently at me.
I pursed my lips "Nah you might get angry." I uttered while chuckling
He clicked his tounge and uttered the words that made me stunned "I will not be angry." He softly mumbled
"Really?" I asked bewildered. Why did he seem different? "You really won't be angry? Even if I print it?" I asked to make sure.
He laughed and nodded while ruffling his hair "You can even put in in a tarpaulin." He chuckled.
My mouth parted a bit. Did my baby change?
"Why is it you room has so many pictures of me? Are you really that crazy about me?" He asked curiously.
I looked intently at his brown orbs "If I say yes. Will you get mad?" I asked softly
He laughed softly and bit his bottom lip "No." he said weakly while staring at me.
My heart beat faster while staring at him "Really? Why?"
My chest was pounding as I waited for his answer. Is my baby slowly falling? I hope he is. Maybe I'll be the happiest girl in the world when he loves me back.
"I've realized that I am very lucky because there is someone who truly loves me." He said that made me want to cry.
I really really love this man so much.
"If I asked you to have sex with me tonight. Would you agree?" I asked shamelessly while staring into his eyes.
I thought he would be surprised. I thought his eyes would widen because of my vulgar words. But that's not how I see his reaction.
He looked at me tenderly while his eyes were very soft staring at me.
"If I agree, will you be happy? If I agree, will I be able to help you get rid of the sadness in your heart? Will I make you feel better if I agree? Won't you cry if I agree?" He asked softly that made the beating of my heart go faster.
"Because if yes, I'm ready to give my body to you. Just for you to be happy." He uttered while smiling sincerely at me.
I threw myself at him and hugged him tightly. I thought he won't hug me back. But again I'm wrong. The man I love hugged me back tightly, securing me in his arms. Telling me that it's okay to cry. It's okay to be weak. It's okay to be vulnerable sometimes. And it's okay to lean on, in him. I found comfort in his arms. I am at peace in my baby's arms.
For me this is the best date ever.
