Chapter 5 Simple gesture

Chapter 5

Their conversation continued at the table. And that only went round and round with the woman they were referring to.

I didn't know about her that's the reason why I don't blend with their topic. I don't want to judge based on what I hear.

"At least we all know what she does the last time we're in a party. Those are my reasons why I really don't like her." Karen said.

"Chanel is kind, Karen. It just happened that the girls around Rius annoyed her." Ryle now.

"Just a bratty b*tch acting like a jealous girlfriend?" Maica butt in.

"You know what, let's stop this topic." Ryle in a serious tone.

I drank water again, quietly listening to what they were talking about.

"Yeah, I'm irritated because of you!" Karen smirked at Ryle. He threw a clean table napkin at it and stood up.

"By the way.... Do you want to join us Sky? We're going to swim." He still offered me.

I just shook my head. "Should I rest first?"

"Oh it's okay maybe tomorrow?" I smiled at him and nodded.

The three of them left there, Ryle went in another direction, there was a call on his phone.

We were left with two.

"I'm going..." I said softly. He didn't say a word.

"Your boyfriend called...

I guess you will advance payment?" He asked.

"And you said that it's already paid." I'm next.

"So he told you right away, huh?"

I secretly smiled. "Why not?"

"Tss..." he just frowned.

I haven't added it yet. He just sighed and shook his head. "Is he really your boyfriend?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Why are you asking?"

"Nothing, I'm just curious!"

"No... He's my brother." When I said that, his face cleared up, the previously wrinkled forehead disappeared.

"So...." Now he faced me. His whole body is now facing me.

"You've been single all this time?" It's connected.

It's hard to turn around and look at him, his simple gesture makes my heart stop from it's beat. Every move makes me nervous.

"Why are you asking?" I will avoid again.

"Nothing." My jaw dropped as I looked at him.

I didn't say a word.

I drank water again to distract myself. "You're beautiful." That's why I almost fell in love with what he said.

The water spilled on my chest and I immediately put down the glass while wiping a little of the cork on my chest.

He is laughing now.

"Mr. EL Fuego you're not flirting with me right?" I asked him angrily.

He smiled and shook his head. "No... No... Not yet...."

"Good, and don't even try, I'll make you cry."

"Whoa!" Anas raised his hands at the same time.

I just secretly laughed at what I said.

"I didn't know that... You can make a man cry?" He laughed mockingly. Of course, because I'm a loser, I won't lose

"Yeah they'll beg until I'm satisfied."

"Satisfied huh?" My smile disappeared because of what he said again. There seems to be something wrong?

"I'm not into boys who only want s*x."

He laughed. "That's not what I meant."

"But that's what I used to be!'

"Alright... What's your type then?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Let's say, my type doesn't exist in this world." I smirked.

"Tsk... Tsk..." He shook his head. "D*mn." He muttered a curse.

He looked at me softly and smiled. "Your smile is literally the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life."

I blushed that part when he said those words. I could feel my face turn red from him and I was even more irritated because he was laughing at me. Damn it!

"Are you blushing?" He asked mockingly. "Let me see if you're sick." He said while placing his hand on my forehead down from my cheek.

I quickly shook his hand that was holding it.

"Stop it!"

He laughed even louder. I don't know if I can laugh because I am always infected by his smiles.

"It's not obvious to you that you know how to flirt, with so many of you, I must be the girl you're practicing your flowery words on." I smirked.

He just raised an eyebrow and looked at me.

"I never had any relationship with anyone, Sky. I haven't tried." In the end, I couldn't escape the ghostly smile on his lips. "And how did you know that I have many women?"

"Mr, El Fuego..... Owner of one of the biggest hotels, number one supplier of wooden furniture and sole heir of the El Fuego SRIS companies? Oh come on, with your background maybe even if you don't kneel or talk... businessmen themselves will betray their children just to marry you!"

"Hmm?"

"Yes... I know your background... So don't be too humble. Yes, you're handsome, but you're too innocent, even though the truth is that you're a woman too." I'll add more.

He just laughed at me. My forehead was wrinkled because of his laughter.

I slapped his thigh softly because he didn't stop laughing.

"What's funny?" I asked annoyed.

"I didn't know you were so beautiful to me."

"I just told the truth huh?"

"It's okay..."

"You seem to be too happy when someone tells you that! And don't say no one tells you.... You see those girls.." I pointed to the far table where the girls were looking at her.

"So many compliments, but yours matters."

"Bolero!" I said, Let's go together. I don't want to lose my passion for this man!

"Hey Skye!" He laughed when he called me.

I almost followed you but he didn't reach the elevator. I leaned back and smiled.

I don't want to assume that there might be meaning.... it's hard. People like that can only be expected.

With that caliber, it's really impossible!

Dream.

It's almost one o'clock, I'm so sleepy that when I lie down on the bed, my eyes close immediately.

It's a cloudy day, when I'm in a beach with two little boys holding my hands.

It ran away from me and met someone, I looked at it carefully.

The twins stop runnin, it also stopped and loaded the two kids. I stared at the three of them from a distance, I couldn't recognize that man's face, it was blurry but I knew him.

"Mommy." A call from the phone woke me up.

It was Lucas. It rings again and again.

I got up from lying down and gently sat down and leaned on the headboard of the bed, I looked at the time, it's five thirty, I answered his video call to me.

"Yes?" I asked, still touching my senses because I couldn't get my dream out of my mind.

"Hulaan Mo?" He is happy now. I just don't know what to do with it.

"Say it."

"I'm visiting you! Happy?" He shouted in an exciting tone.

"You know Lucas that what's happening to me is dangerous, it's safe for you if you avoid me first."

"I know, I won't obey and I can't stop thinking that you might be bored in that kind of province. You're rich, you're an heiress, but you're hiding just because someone wants to kill you?"

"What will i do, my situation is difficult?"

"Get a bodyguard, if you can make it five, it's five! If you're not safe, it's ten! You'll only get worse if there's no one to watch over you."

"I know Lucas, once we finish the investigation it will be over. Also, I'm not alone in this." I said while thinking of Rius.

"Oh?"

I shook my head "Yeah, Kion will send someone here for me."

"Your brother really knows what to do. I don't know if he's older than we think or if he's just like that."

"Or don't fantasize about my brother."

"Duh.... Never... And one more thing, yes I'm attracted to a guy but I don't want them to be my husband in the future!"

"Wow is that you Lucas?" I laughed at the question.

"You will see, in the future I will marry a woman and you will be one of the brides maids."

"Let's see." I burst out laughing and so did he. I felt so good when I talked to Lucas

It took us more than an hour so when I opened the Curtain, a strong wind exposed me. It's almost seven, I should be hungry right now buf I feel so full.

I won't even go down. Here I will do the report sent to me by kion

I opened the curtain on the veranda, There was a small coffee table and two wooden chairs on the side of the jacuzzi.

I smile, everything is ready, my laptop is open, the coffee is on the side and the birds are beautiful to look at, the silence.

I started to open the files, many names were written there, which means that not only one person was behind the events of last year.

Dalia Lacuesta.

Thallus Alcazar.

They are one of our distant relatives on dad's side. I have only met them once but they are not the type that seem to come from a good family.

I don't know why they were included in the lists of names involved in the incident but based on the investigation, they sought to get what papa and mama worked hard for.

Mom is a Doctor, Neuro surgeon and dad is an Engineer. They build a small business that is not expected to grow a lot.

But now they're not still okay, kion and I are still struggling to keep it in the state. It is still growing and does not fall even if it is not the father and mother who are maneuvering it, infact it is only rising more and more, That is why it is not good for kion and me.

We lost interest in enjoying life as young women and young men. We immediately face the responsibility that we carry every day.

There are also a few people on the list who are suspected but there is not much strong evidence to press because of the clean frame up of that accident, I don't know if the case will be closed forever.

I closed the files and opened the one that kion sent me, reports on the projects on the board that some engineers said were prinnesent there.

It's still seven forty when my phone beeps.

I received a message from someone.

I called that number so I'm sure the message is from Rius.

Rius:

"Where are you? Aren't you going to eat with us?"

I frowned and drank the rest of the coffee that had cooled.

Rius:

"Hey, are you busy?"

Message again, I would have ignored it because it seems like it's my fault.

I type in.

"Sorry, I'm still full so I can't keep up with you. Maybe tomorrow morning."

I put down the phone and started again what I was doing earlier in the reports.

It beeped again.

Rius;

"You didn't eat much earlier, how did you get full there?"

I rolled my eyes. He left his message and started looking at the reports again.

A minute's later, my phone stopped ringing for his text message.

I brushed my loose hair and took a deep breath. Put the anti rad glasses back on and started typing on the laptop again.

That's why I was so surprised when my phone rang.

It stopped ringing and his missed call popped up. After that, it rang again.

I immediately answered his call. I turned up the speaker and placed it next to my cup so that while I was talking to him I would finish typing.

"Hello" he greeted, I shivered. His voice is different. It was weak and deep.

"Busy right now?" It's again. That voice is still deep.

I tasted, "A bit, why?"

"Your not answering my text message."

"I answer it properly, I said I'm full so I can't keep up with you."

"I mean my last message."

"Oh? Sorry, I forgot." I answered to change the conversation. "Why did you get called?"

I asked again, he didn't answer. The other line went silent, I glanced at the phone I thought the call was over but it wasn't.

I started typing on the laptop again.

"Nothing, I just want to hear your voice." He said.

I stopped what I was doing because of what he said.

And started to get nervous and panic again for some unknown reason.

"What are you doing right now?" He asked again. I don't know what to answer because I still can't get over what he said to me just now.

"Hey, Skye?" He called again maybe noticing that I didn't answer his question earlier.

I swallowed hard. "Yes? I'm sorry, I'm just doing something."

"Is that so? I'll end this call so you can finish what you're going to do." He said. "And then after you finish, can I call you later?" It's still connected.

I took off my glasses and gently put them down on the table.

"Yeah sure." My answer.

"Okay then. I'll put it down so you can finish what you're doing." He said in a low voice.

I glanced again at my phone lying on the table, the call had not ended yet, so I was the one who hung up.

I closed my eyes tightly and looked at the sky full of bitwin.

His giving me a false hope, d*mn it! I don't know what he is doing or conveying.

Does he like me?

I messed up my hair and pounded on the table.

Argh!

The thinking is correct, this is just a normal. There is no malice in that!

I fixed my hair again and sighed, returning my attention to what I was typing earlier on the laptop.

I hope he's not playing, and if he is, I hope it's not mine.

To Be Continued....
