It was late when Cadence and Stan's wedding reception ended, I was surprised because it looked like they had both left and were just coming back.
Early honeymoon, huh?
I combed my hair, I want to go home coz I'm tipsy. I drank a bit more today, well, I can't blame myself. This is the happiest day for Cadence and maybe... for me too.
I had my crush beside me earlier, I may sound like a highschool girl but he's really my crush! Even Yel likes that man.
Who wouldn't? He doesn't look old. He's hot, a hot bachelor to be exact.
"Thank you." Cadence smiled at Yel and me, I smiled at her.
"What are you doing? Don't say thank you!" Yel said and hugged Cadence.
I also came closer and hugged the two. It's better here with them. I'm important, unlike at home, only my sister is favored.
"Are you going home? You can stay here, you know?" According to Cadence, the hotel where the reception was held belongs to the Arrhenius family.
"No need. It's embarrassing, isn't it, Aurora?" Yel elbowed me so I just nodded.
I saw Cadence sneeze, a little while later her husband came and put his arm around her, I winced a bit.. I'm still not used to it, the last time I checked they were both related.
"Okay." Cadence said, "Be careful, huh?"
"Course. Mikael will drive them home." Stan grinned at Cadence.
My eyes rolled automatically. Did I hear him right?
"Really!?" Yel ordered and simply glanced at me, because she knew that I admired Stan's cousin! I looked away.
Oh, fuck! Am I beautiful now? I took my small mirror out of my pouch and looked at my makeup with a dead eye when Yel suddenly elbowed me. What the fudge? I looked at her and widened my eyes, she was sniffing something on my side. I was like a statue in my position when I smelled a familiar scent.
"Man!" Stan said and fist bumped the man next to me now.
"Are you going to take them home, Mikael?" Cadence said.
Damn! Shit! Fuck! I recited everything I knew cheaply with great nervousness.
"Yeah.." He said, one word but fuck that was so hot! It was as if my neck had stiffened and I couldn't look back at him.
The previously cold feeling suddenly warmed up. I'm thinking of Yel now, she's tempting me and I want to reprimand her! Maybe Mikael will notice!
"Uhm, Cadence! I'm going home alone.." Yel said which surprised me even more!
"Just take him, Mikael. Dan will take me."
"What? Let's go together.." I don't know what my tone was here. Yel shook her head and waved her hand away. "It's not possible, the three are not allowed on the motorcycle."
Really? Like really? Yel is a traitor! I can't find the right way to confess what she said, I know Mikael can hear me now and I don't want him to think that I don't want him to drive me home.. In the middle of thinking, I accidentally looked at Stan's smiling face. He raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
"Bring Aurora, Mikael.." He said and winked at me. Shit!?
"Alright." Mikael said, that's when I looked at him and the thread of my panties almost melted when I saw his beauty. "Let's go?"
I opened and closed my mouth several times, until it was just the two of us left because the beast Stan left and took Cadence and Yel with him!
"N-Don't even..." I bowed. "I can go home alone."
"No. Won't let a girl go home by herself." He said, I was surprised when he suddenly touched my wrist. "What's your name again?"
"Pa-Patricia..." I thought he knew my name.
"I thought you're Aurora?" He raised an eyebrow.
I'm not comfortable with what he holds me anymore because it feels like he's been electrocuting me over and over again. "What would you call me, Aurora or Patricia?"
"I prefer the latter." He said and took me to his car.
This was the first time I had ever been in a car like this. I tried to open the front seat but I was really surprised when he was there.
"Oh, sorry." He opened the car and then opened the door.
I quickly went in and sat down. I spent over an hour with Mikael in the car. Shit! How can I have a normal conversation with him? The one that doesn't make me tremble and feel bad, the one where he doesn't realize I like him?
he loosened his neck tie and put the coat he had been wearing behind him.
"in Sta. Luicita, Cavite." I said in a panic.
He didn't speak, he lazily drove the car, he's driving with only one hand and I find it hot. What's that! All he does is cool and hot for me? I'm old.
"So? How many years have you known Cadence?" He asked, surprised because he started the topic.
I looked out the window. "Three years."
"How old are you?" I was surprised by his response, as if he had asked me a question.
My eyes fell into my hands. "18."
"Quiet young." I heard his whisper.
I just didn't pay attention to his comment. I remember when I first saw him in the golf park, I knew he saw me too, I just don't know if he remembers me anymore.
I've already done some research about him. I know he is 25 years old. I don't have a problem with that, but I prefer older people. It's more mature and of course. hotter.
"Have you graduated?" He asked again.
I shook my head. Wow! I feel so worthless here! I'm usually witty and talkative. What happened now? Fold?
"I've worked. I didn't want my parents to want me either. They're ruling my life and I hate it." I don't know if I told him that right.
He chuckled. "You don't want to be your parents' puppet, huh?"
I was a little embarrassed, but still nodded. He didn't ask me any more questions. I've been thinking about it a few times, but I've been thinking about it every time I look at it, so I'm just enjoying myself looking at the lights on the road.
I noticed Mikael turn around in the McDo drive thru, he hasn't eaten yet?
"Eat now?" I was surprised by his question.
Yes, I ate, but it was like a lump in my throat. Why so? I just nodded to him.
I waited for Mikael to get his orders, he reached for something in my paper bag so I turned to him.
"For you," Harvest Mikael.
I shook my head. What a shame! "I'm full."
He seemed to be tired of holding the paper bag and took my hand, it filled the bolts that were electricing me! I looked at his face as he handed me the paper bag.
"Then eat that when you're hungry." I heard his usual cold voice.
This is the longest I've been here for an hour. And within an hour the car was really cold, even the food I was holding couldn't warm me up! I put it on my shoulder and put it on my shoulder because of the dress I'm wearing now.
"Are you cold?" Mikael, he looked at me for a moment.
I nodded.
He put the car on the side of the road, I thought he was going to kill the air conditioner in the car but it wasn't, he took the coat and he put it on me! Shit, he just came up to me and I felt hot right away!
He didn't speak, he just continued to drive. Even though I didn't even speak I was so happy that I could breathe the scent of his coat and I knew it would stick to my skin too.
I told him where I lived, but I didn't want to go to the exact location of the house because my dad might see us
"That's it, thank you." I said.
"I'm not your driver, don't thank me." He said.
Did he get mad?! I'm afraid to look. "S-Sorry.."
Suddenly he laughed. "I was just kidding."
I don't know if I should laugh or what.
"There's no house here, where's your house? I'll drop you there." He said.
I shook my head. "Well, I'm still waiting for something." Even if it's not.
He nodded at me, so I opened the car door. When I got down I could still see him looking at me. Because his car is not tinted. I thought he was going to leave but he rolled down the window first.
"Goodnight.." Said Mikael and smiled lightly. "And eat that later." He pointed to the paper bag I was holding.
Cheeks warmed. Of course! Oh my God!
