Chapter 11

The familiar scent of Aius immediately penetrated my nose. I barely calmed down from crying and only a small sob escaped my lips.

"Shh ... stoo crying.i got you now. "he whispered to me and hugged me even more.

And as is on cue, I hugged him back as tight as his hug. And I don't know why, but my tears just flowed because he said that.

my previous sobbing habit intensified again.

It feels good having someone to hug me while crying like river.

"Shh ..." he whispered to me as he gently stroked my back, comforting me.

I just hugged him tightly as if I were a child complaining to him after a playmate quarreled.

"Stop crying, alright?" he said that in a soft voice as if he didn't want to see me cry.

and I don't know what's in his voice but my crying calmed down again and it turned into a little sob.

He rubbed my cheeks and gently caressed you, wiping my tears with his thumb. and the hairs that cover my face he immediately took hold of my ear.

And because of what he did I couldn’t help but stare into his face.

it was only then that I noticed that the closeness of our faces to each other, caused my heart to pound hard, for reasons I don't know. Am I nervous? Or is something else the cause of my strong heartbeat? this is the first time, that my heart was pounding so hard just because of a man ...

I stared at him the most, and it was only then that I noticed the physical features of his face.

His eyebrows will grow thick and well. his lashes are long, even longer than mine. His nose was only moderately pointed which further accentuated his handsomeness. my eyes dropped to her slightly pitying lips, and only then could I say that she looked so beautiful then. Heart-shaped, thin, and reddish. I even lowered my gaze from his face to his perfectly defined jaws. something that entices even more to look at him especially if it intensifies.

My eyes returned to his eyes again, and as I lifted my eyes I immediately met that as his. It's brownish mixed with gray. signs that he is not a pure Filipino and the blood is mixed with foreign.

I stared into his eyes for a long time and there I noticed that we were staring, me with my puffy eyes and him with eyes containing different emotions that I can't name.

but an emotion I noticed there, in the way he looked at me he seemed to feel the way I felt. I also don’t know if the concern I see in his eyes is real.

If the emotion I see in his eyes is concern, for whom? and what is the reason?

On the other hand I could feel the loss of my heart, at that painful point. Not because of the fact that Jared and I had a fight, but because of the fact that the pulse was strong then because of Aius’s actions in front of me.

I finally calmed down from crying. And it was only then that I realized how long we had been staring at each other.

my throat tightened and my lips parted when I was overwhelmed with shame, because I noticed that we had already lost a lot of attention, there were still people with cellphones attached and we seemed to be taking pictures.

my cheek got hot and my lips were licked because I could feel the dryness before, I did that without taking my gaze away from his eyes.

That's why I can clearly see his eyes go down from me, to my lips.

my eyes were also fixed on his eyes. And I could clearly see there an emotion that I can't name, and I don't want to name either.

He stared at my lips for a long time, so I felt sorry for him and read it again with my tongue.

I saw her swallow hard as if something big was stuck in her throat. After that he immediately averted his gaze and shook his head, seemingly disobeying himself.

"Ehem!" he coughed, which is why I was brought back to my senses. it was only then that I noticed that I was still hugging him and our bodies were very close to each other.

I seem to be getting burned away from him. I could also feel the heat on my cheek and the still pounding of my heart.

"There you stop crying..you look better than earlier. "he said to me. I was embarrassed and bowed.

"T-thank you ..." it's embarrassing that he even saw my appearance while I was crying, maybe I'm ugly in his eyes. "No, problem." He smiled back at me.

"If you don't mind, may I drive you home now?" he asked me in a calm voice.

"Ok-"

"No." I never finished what I was going to say to Aius with a hard voice that stopped what I was going to say and the strong pull on me of who.

when I looked at the one who pulled me I saw Jared there with eyes blazing with anger. When I looked at his source I saw Manager Lei in the distance, also blurred with tears staring at us and looking hurt.

‘What are they doing here? and then why does Manager Lei seem to be crying? ' I wondered in my mind. I don't know if I will be happy with the sadness I see in Manager Lei's eyes, or I will also be sad for her, because I already have an inference as to the cause of those sadness ...

"A-aray!" I stopped thinking about them when I felt Jared's grip tighten on my arm.

"W-what's up Jared, just let me go! I'm hurt!" I shouted angrily as I forcefully removed his grip on my arm.

but instead of releasing me he tightened his grip on my arm even more. "You'll really get hurt when you go with that guy!" he shouted furiously at me.

"What ?! Let go I said! Why are you so naughty? This is your fault !!" I shouted at him angrily.

"Let her go, pare." nothing was as cold as Aius saying that now there was no more emotion staring at Jared as his jaw tightened.

"Let me go, Jared! What an embarrassment! Some people have seen!" I'm weak on him.

"LET. HER.gO. "Aius was even colder again and it seemed that his patience was about to run out and he would punch at any moment.

"Why would I? And who are you to command me ?! She's my girlfriend and I got to do what I want to!" Jared shouted.

"Ahh !!!" I was immediately stunned as well as the crowd when suddenly Aius's fist hit Jared hard in the face causing it to fall on the lobby cement, and I was released.

Aius immediately pulled me gently closer to him. in the extreme then I could hardly feel it.

When I got close to him he immediately examined my arm that Jared was holding, it was red from Jared's grip earlier.

Jared, on the other hand, was immediately approached by Manager Lei and helped to stand up, he was still saying something to Jared but I didn't pay attention to that because of what Aius did.

I didn't expect Aius to do that when he gently caressed and stroked the reddened part of my arm. then again there were thousands of volts of electricity that seemed to flow through my whole body along with the strong pounding of my heart.

"Let's go." after he said that he gently put his arm around my shoulder to help me away.

my body seemed to have a life of its own that spontaneously went with him.

I looked behind us again and saw the crowd watching our scene earlier. I just gasped.

Jared would have chased after us but I saw Manager Lei hug him, to stop him. I felt a slight pain in my heart, but it also disappeared immediately when I felt the slight tightening of Aius's arm around me along with his whisper. "Don't look back."

and with that short sentence, I avoided my gaze to Jared and just focus on my way.

I even heard Jared calling me, but I ignored that. He didn't even catch up with us when the security of the condominium building came and took him away.

I just sighed and continued walking with Aius, until we reached the parking lot where his expensive car was parked.

he helped me into the passenger's seat before he turned around and got into the driver's seat and finally drove the car away from the area.

The paparazzi, on the other hand, remained standing outside the building and the cameras were already focused on our car. i sighed again and avoided my gaze to them.
