CHAPTER XII

Chris POV

"What is it?" I asked when I heard a knock at my door.

"Your friends are here." Sam said and I got up then stepped outside my office.

I saw my friends laughing like there's no tomorrow, what are they doing in here?

"Hey, what are you all doing here?" I asked when I arrived at their spot.

"Well, we're hungry so we want to eat but we doesn't want to spend money so we came here." Paul said.

"So? you're saying you all came here to get some free food?" I asked in disbelief.

"Of course, what else?" Sean stated in a mater of fact tone.

"You all know that you have billions of money, right?" I questioned them.

"Yes, and you too but we doesn't want to spend some, and don't act like you didn't want a free food, because we all know that you love it." Kaiden said.

I sat beside Kaiden then Lyrinx came to get our orders.

"Good morning, what would you like to have?" He said and I just stare at him like he's the most beautiful view in the whole universe.

"Uhmm, sir? what would you like to have?" I came back to reality when Lyrinx asked me.

"Ah, just give me what I ate earlier." I said to him then he nodded and smile at us before going to Sam to give our orders.

"I feel someone is inlove." I heard William said.

"Huh? Inlove? Who?" I asked at them and they all look at me.

"We don't know, maybe ask yourself?" Kyle asked then look at me with a smirk.

"I told you, I won't fall inlove again." I said to them but they all look like they aren't convince.

"Yeah, say that to your fucking eyes that were staring at him." Jaypee stated.

"You know, if you really want to stare at him, just take a photo of him it will last longer." Darsh said.

"No, why would I? and stop teasing me, I won't fall inlove." I said then they all just shrugged their shoulders.

"Here is you order." Lyrinx said then place our order down in our table. "Enjoy." He said then he leave to serve the other table.

"So? William, how's your life going?" I asked him.

"It's going great, my and Haisley are going to be married this coming November." He answered.

"Anyways, it's already 2 years since you propose at her but why didn't you both married last year?" Sean asked, yeah I think about that too. William scratches his nape before he answered.

"Well, you see when I introduced her to all of you, she isn't really my fiance that time, she's just a friend of mine." He stated.

"Wow, so possessive." Jaypee said and we all laugh at that.

"If I'm the definition of possessive then what is Kaiden?" William questioned and Kaiden just glared at him and we begin to laugh again.

"Oh yeah anyways, Grace Lavious wants to publish a story, she came when I was in America and we settle the contract, her story is great anyways, so yeah." I said then sip at my tea. "And our sales is more way better than last year."

"That's great then." Kaiden said.

•Lyrinx POV•

It's already afternoon and Chris and his friends are in his office probably talking about their business, I'm kind of tired and feel sleepy, thankfully that it's not too crowded in here and I already done my works, I sat at the vacant seat neat at the window.

I place my both arms on the table and made it like pillow to my head. I slowly drifted off to sleep. I heard some noises but I ignore it all.

"It's already night, why don't you wake your pink haired man there." Said by a deep voice.

"Yeah, we're going home, take care." said by another voice, after that I heard the bell indicating that someone left or came in, then I felt a shake at my shoulders.

"Hey, wake up, it's already late." Said by the person who is shaking my shoulder but I don't want to get up yet, I'm too tired and sleepy.

"I'll count to 10 if you don't wake up, I will carry you." Said by the voice but I ignore it, he won't do it anyway and why can't he just leave me alone, he begin to count.

The next thing I knew, I'm being lifted from where I was sitting and I open my eyes.

"Put me down." I said sleepy then yawned, but he doesn't obeyed me.

"I said put me down." I said again but he doesn't let go of me, so I look at the person who rudely interrupt me from my sleep and my eyes widened when I saw Chris then I blush.

"I told you, I will carry you if you don't get up." He said without looking at me, still walking, he opened the door with me in his arms and he closed it not forgetting to lock it.

"Where is your car?" He asked then look at me, I look away.

"Uhmm I don't have a car so I will just go to bus stop." I answered without looking at him, I just realized that it's already night, so I tried to get out from his arms but he doesn't let me to.

"It's already late, and you think there's still bus for you to ride?" He asked me.

"Then I will just walk, it's not that too far from here." I said but he just looked at me dumbfounded.

"Do you know how dangerous being outside at night is?" He asked and I just nodded.

"I can handle myself." I whispered but I guess he heard it.

"Nope, I won't let you." He said, I just realized that we're in the parking lot when I saw his car beside us.

"Uhmm, I will really just wa----" I didn't finish my sentence when I yawned, I still feel tired and sleepy.

"How can you just walk to your house when you're tired and sleepy already?" He asked.

"Hey! I can walk to my house even tho I'm tired and sleepy and I always going home late so I'm used to it and every time I go home late nothing bad happen to me." I said defensing myself, what does he think? I'm weak?

He put me down but he doesn't let go of my hand, he opened the passenger seat's door and motion me to go inside.

"Go inside, I'm sending you home." I was about to go inside when my phone rings, I answered the phone call.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hello, Lyrinx." My Mom said. "Where are you? Are you at your friend's house?" My mom asked.

"No, I'm not, I'm on my way to home, why did you call anyway?" I asked, they doesn't really making a call when it's not important.

"We're not at home, we're at the plane we received an urgent call, so I just call you to inform you that we're going out of the country." She replied.

"I thought you both took a day off?" I said kind of disappointed, I really wanted to hang out with them.

"Sorry hon, but this is really important." She replied and I just hummed then hangs up the phone, then hopped inside the car.
