I was determined to get Apollo. He was the only one who messed with my system. He's the only one who makes my heart beat faster. "I'll make you fall in love with me, Apollo." "Make me fall?" He sat down and his eyes narrowed. "I doubt that. Very much." I raised an eyebrow at him. He underestimated my ability. "And when I do?" "I will marry you," he said seriously. I swallowed. "A-and when n-not?" He shrugged. "Then stay away from me. You will let me live in peace." "What's peace in your words exactly?" "The one without you. The one I can't see you." I bit my bottom lip. I wondered if I had an advantage in this match.
HANNAH ERA RAMOS
My hand was handcuffed to the chair while inside the police interrogation room. Because I intercepted Apollo at his house and was caught by the security guard of his Subdivision. They didn't feel sorry for a girl like me. I'm just afraid of growing old alone so I'm the one flirting.
"Do you know Mister Bustamante is filing a case against you?" The police said.
I didn't pay attention to what it said. "Brother, don't you have first aid there? My hand is hurting."
"That's your fault. You're trespassing." He answered.
"My arms are already hurt and I was blamed for everything. God have mercy, why do bald people like you so unkind to me?"
"When I get caught. I'll shoot you."
I felt a little nervous about what my brother said, so I didn't speak until the door opened and Apollo entered. It's just a white t-shirt and black pants. He looked at me intently and I gave him a sweet smile.
"You can go." Apollo coldly promised the police. Right, out! You are under the bridge.
The policeman who was with me came out and Apollo sat down at the table in front of me. He crossed his arms over his muscular chest.
My face lit up when he faced me. "Hi, love-love. Miss me?"
When the two guards left, I immediately gave Apollo a sweet smile.
"Hi, Apollo-of my eyes!" I was stunned by his eyes again. "Was my harana okay earlier? Did you touch me?"
It raised an eyebrow. "Touched?"
"Yes. Touched, I mean, Touched!" I explained.
He smirked. My heart drowned. "You made my neighbours cry. My sleep was disturbed because of your imperfect and manly voice. How can I be touched by that?"
"Come closer to me, I'll touch you."
"Hannah..." He took a deep breath. "How many times do I have to tell you to stay away from me?"
"You've crushed, smashed, and destroyed my heart with your cruelty. Why don't you want me? I'm beautiful. I'm the perfect female specimen. I have a brilliant mind and I'm hot as hell! I'm the greatest creation He ever made!" I pretended to be hurt.
I couldn't focus my eyes on his face because of the perfect man in front of me. "I've heard that many times, Hannah."
Is that so? I have a confession. I was determined to get Apollo. He was the only one who messed with my system. He's the only one who makes my heart beat faster. "I'll make you fall in love with me, Apollo."
"Make me fall?" He sat down and his eyes narrowed. "I doubt that. Very much."
I raised an eyebrow at him. He underestimated my ability. "And when I do?"
"I will marry you," he said seriously.
I swallowed. "A-and when n-not?"
He shrugged. "Then stay away from me. You will let me live in peace."
"What's peace in your words exactly?"
"The one without you. The one I can't see you." Ouch!
I bit my bottom lip. I wondered if I had an advantage in this match.
"Want to back out, Hannah?"
"Me? No! Deal!"
"Deal."
"Let's seal it with a kiss! Come on!" I pouted my lips.
He smiled foolishly then stood up. I thought he would let me go. Disappointed, he turned and walked towards the door.
I panicked. "He-hey! Wait! Where are you going? Let me go first."
He stopped and looked at me. He raised an eyebrow. "Huh? Why should I let you go? You still have a case, right?"
"W-What?! Uh, you--- Ouch!" I pulled my handcuffed hand so I felt the pain again. I groaned.
"Why, what happened?" I saw Apollo kneeling in front of me and looking at my wrist.
"M-My hand hurts."
He clicked his tongue and that's the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. "You hurt yourself because you moved harshly. The handcuffs get tighter when you move m-"
His eyes widened because of what I did. He also stood up and walked away. I smacked him on the lips! On the lips! I'm going to die! It's okay now!
I screamed in excitement. "One more!"
"Damn." He mumbled. "This is harassment."
"No, it's not. You're a concern for my well-being. You love me now, don't you?" I spoke.
His eyes went cold. "Imagine if we switched places, Hannah. If I attack you, I'll be behind bars right now. Let that sink in."
Without saying a word, he turned and marched out.
"Apollo! Baby! My loves! Don't leave me here!" I called him several times but he closed the door violently.
Only a few minutes later, the guards who brought me here entered. They let me go. When I left the office, I didn't see Apollo anymore. Wasteful! I must have abused it! I would have made the most of it!
The case has also been withdrawn from me. It turns out that we had our first kiss here! So, memorable.
They called me a taxi to take. I thanked them before getting into the taxi. I touched my lips and explained what happened earlier.
"Get ready, my love. You will marry me too." I said to myself with determination.
I closed the door of my apartment and then threw myself on the sofa. Apollo will marry me when he falls for me!
I can do this! Of course! I'm so lovable! Wait, Apol said there was no deadline-
I lost my thoughts when my phone rang loudly. I dug into my bag and took out the phone!
I screamed when I saw Apollo's name! I even jumped up and down on the sofa with so much excitement. That was the first text I received from Apollo. Because since I confessed, he has always talked to the assistant secretary.
I opened it and read it.
From: APOLL-Of-my-eyes
