Chapter 21: The Bonfire
I am not in the right state of mind while thinking about what happened to me and Sir Astriar back there. But it's done, we already did it.
The more that I want to go back to my villa, it scares me because I don't want to be rude somehow, he's still asleep.
Instead, I lay down beside him and stared at his sleeping face. He's handsome. Hot, seductive, sexy and.... Yummy.
I shook my head from what I was thinking. I may be green but I was just stating the facts about him.
I trace his hairs with my fingers, he looks even more handsome with dishevelled hair. I traced his nose, and down in his soft lips. I pressed my fingers in there, didn't even mind if I'll wake him up or not. I was about to pull my hands back from his lips when he suddenly parted it, making my hands fall inside his mouth.
I gasp when I felt that soft and wet mouth with my fingers.
Astriar opened his eyes and gazed at me. He sucked my finger while having a ghost of smirk on the corner of his lips.
I bit my lower lip without breaking the eye contact with him. His eyes dropped on my lips, I smirked and bit my lower lip to tease him.
I saw him smirked too making me pout. Hmmp! This guy really is something.
"Damn you! "I hissed making a loud thud of laughter inside his room.
Damn that husky voice!
"I need to go. It's still project hour. "I said and tried to get away from their but he pulled me back again.
"N-no! Stay here." he said and buried his face on my neck. I can even feel his lips in there.
I bit my lower lip again when I feel the tickles on my neck. Damn, now I regret letting him kiss me on that part!
"Sir! "I protested and pushed him away from me.
He pouted. Damn why does he look so cute? Or am I just imagining things again?
He come closer to me and kissed me on the lips. It has a sound, and it echoes in whole room.
He pulled me closer to him again and planted a 3 soft kisses on my lips... then 6, 7, 8... and ten.
I closed my eyes from the softness of it. Damn! It's so soft and addicting!
When I opened my eyes, I saw him smirking. His eyes dropped on my chest while licking his lips.
His playful smirk vanished while looking at my chest. I frowned and look at mine to see why he suddenly became serious.
The button of the polo shirt that I was wearing was open, revealing my cleavage that almost only covered my nipples alone.
I blushed, especially that I know, he won't take off his eyes from there again.
I flick a finger on his forehead to wake him up. He closed his other eye while his other is looking at me.
"Damn it, Erza!" He said dramatically but he's smirking. Tss, this man.
He pulled me close, very close that he seats a kiss on my lips.
"Damn, you're so good. " he whispered naughtily.
We stayed in his bed for 2 hours before finally decided to go to work. Even I, don't have the strength to go to work already.
He doesn't want to go too but I pulled him up. I don't want that the others might think there's something between us because we're both absent at the same time.
When I reached the villa, I saw Lucy and Mira fixing the walls while Clara is busy scanning the papers.
"Wow! At last you decided to come back." Mira sarcastically said.
I just looked away and continue doing my thing.
"Who might be with the natives is she dating" Lucy added.
I made face. If only they have an idea how hot that native is. I smiled unconsciously.
When I went inside, I am amazed from the effort they give from fixing this. At last, this looks good.
I immediately dropped my body on my space and sighed. Damn, I didn't even have enough sleep because of what happened. There were many things playing in my head too. And I can't get away from this because it's part of my whole existence.
I closed my eyes while reminiscing those things that made me succeed to what I have now.
There's so many, I don't think I can even remember them one by one.
I didn't realize that I slept. It was already evening when I woke up. No one's in the villa, seems like I was alone.
I get up from the bed that's only made up of thick comforters.
The moment I stand straight, I saw the note of Clara on the bamboo wall.
"Miss Erza, we are on the seaside, having a bonfire party with the bosses. We didn't disturb you because it seems like you are so tired."
-Clara
I pouted. So, they have bonfire party. So maybe there are foods and probably, dancing.
I walked to the seaside, and when I'm closer, I heard the loud music. Wow they have electricity.
While watching them. This is the only time I realized that there are really lots of employees of GFC. From bosses, architects, engineers and workers.
I am just walking straight. I didn't even mind if someone will see me. All I ever care is I want to is to be with my team.
"Miss Erza!" Gadjin shouted that made some of the heads turned to me.
I only waved and went to their direction immediately.
When I reached there, Mira immediately gave me a stick of a hotdog.
Well, since I'm hungry I immediately ate one.
"You took too long to come, Miss. " Clara said and sit on the side
I only shrugged before answering. "Well, I got tired, that's why. " I said and bite the hotdog. This is the only time that I realized that this taste good. I am not really eating these kinds of food. "Where did you get tired, Miss?" Mira said in a playful smirk
Tss. I really want to punch this girl for once.
"From work, where else. " I said and didn't looked at them
Damn that question.
"Yiiieeeeeeh!! Hahahahaha" They teased in chaos while laughing.
Just a little bit more and I'll roast them from that bonfire in the centre.
"Tss. Where's Enzo?" I asked.
"There at one of the tribes, trying to move on from heartaches. Hahaha!" Gadjin said that made Clara pinch his stomach.
I knotted my head. I am not that stupid to not observe the changes of Enzo. We've been working with each other for almost 5 years and he's only change today. And it was not healthy anymore. "Shut up Gadjin or I'll make you a fucking barbecue." I said.
He scratched his head before he answered me. "Enzo is dancing with Miss Julia, there." Said Gadjin that made me look at the place he pointed.
I saw Enzo there, dancing with Breezy. Well it's obvious on Breezy's face that she doesn't want to dance with Enzo. I was thinking that maybe it was because of the rock that hit Breezy, or it's really that Enzo likes her. They are looking so sweet because of the sweet music as well. But instead of focusing my sight on them, my sight darted on Sir Astrair slowly dancing with Emerald beside the bonfire.
Emerald's lacey green dress really suits her fair skin. She is dancing with Sir Astriar and I admit that they really look sweet. They look good with each other.
Their bodies were pressed closely. They were smiling, and it's obvious that they are talking with each other because their mouths were moving.
What a lovely couple. But on my side, it seems like my heart was being murdered and being stab with million knives. It hurts. It hurts a lot. But I have nothing to do, right? Nothing right? I am just... I am just his Silent Employee. Nothing more, nothing less.
There are tears that wanted to escape but I tried myself not to and just bite my hotdog harshly.
"Darn, she's eating it so harsh. I feel bad to the hotdog of that guy she's dating." I heard Gadjin whispered that made me looked at him immediately.
This stupid man's mouth is so dirty!
He just gave me a peace sign. I looked at the two-dancing people again. Now they are really hugging.
I took a deep breath and ate a hotdog again. When it's almost finish, I will stand and get again.
If I'll run right now, I would probably look like a pathetic girlfriend. And that's pretty disgusting.
Well, I'm used of getting hurt, then be it. From the very beginning of this story, I already told myself and warned myself. I will be the one to suffer.
It is my fault from the very first place. It is my fault. I surrendered. I fell for him. I gave him myself. And the value? A merciless heartache. Why didn't I used my brain this time?
I hoped so much that it's not even healthy anymore.
I thought he changed. Well I only thought that.
I thought I was wrong when I said that he's not capable of loving anyone. But I'm right. Boys will always be boys.
Tss. Why am I even having a drama here? Why can't I go to him instead and fucking punch him in front of these people?
Thick faced bastard. I really want to fucking destroy him. I fucking hate him.
****
The party ended, I didn't care anymore and just talk with Lucy.
When we reached the villa, I dropped my self on the bed immediately and slept.
The next morning, we went back to our serious works. Though I am not yet very useful, I just helped Sir Gray with the projects he is currently designing. From the corners and pools and such.
I am correct that they will make this a private resort for rich people. This is so hard for us. Projects always change from time to time. But if we're talking about the Grayfaurds, this is all easy for them.
"Erza, do you think a quadrilateral shaped pool will be better than circular?" asked Sir Gray.
"Well, for me yes because swimmer may like wide range where they can freely swim. And also, it is nice to use the design of circular pool specially when it has wide circumference. People will love it, Sir. Since its not one of the popular pools in the Philippines, making it unique? I guess." I said.
Sir Gray didn't answer, so I looked at him. I'm a bit startled when he's watching me closely.
"Sir?" I said and gulped.
He only smiled and nodded. Tsk, the aura and looks of my bosses will really make a woman crazy. Especially that boss of mine.
And speaking of him, when I glanced at him, I saw him watching us with a poker face. I gasp in shock. What's with that creepy face he's giving me!
It's like he's giving me the message that "You're dead."
I shook my head from what I was thinking. Like for his information, what a thick face he got to act like that after he flirted yesterday.
Yes, Erza. Stop it or in the end you'll be the one to suffer. Aren't you exhausted? You are the only one who is fooled by your own feelings. Can you please use your brain for once?
He stayed there, watching me with sharp eyes. He grabbed his phone and typed something there.
After few seconds, my phone beeped. Well, I still have batteries though.
"Don't try me Erza, I'll fuck you in front of that man. Remember that. " that's what is written in his message. Wow, this bastard is really making me angry.
When I looked at him. I saw him smirking, he's looking stupid anyway.
"Remember that." He whispered to the wind
Fuck you, Astrair.
