I am back again

AXEL

I don't know what to say but my heart speaks a lot.

He likes me.

He likes me too.

"Me too, Grey." I confessed without hesitation.

I was damn aloof and frightened by his presence before but ended up wishing we are always together.

He hugged me tightly.

For a moment, my heart that was beating so fast because of the surprises and confession stopped because of his hug.

Grey's arms wrapped around me feels like the world is a safe wonderland.

It makes me so happy and soft at the same time it scares me.

After all the plans, we will leave this place and start our own journey, Grey.

When it is already done, I will forget everything then I'll offer my life to you.

Our relationship isn't official yet because I said he needs to give me plenty of time to finish what I have started.

To let me complete myself then we'll compliment each other's life.

Grey was so confused but he agreed and respected my decision.

It has been 4 days after that special moment.

I feel guilty not for myself but to Grey.

Today's Saturday.

"Hi, Eli." Hugo waved to me.

"Hi, Hugo. Where have you been?" I asked him.

"Business matters, so busy. Glad you accepted my request to come here in Cebu." His car parts/mechanic shop just opened and he invited me.

Just a little celebration.

We knew each other from the Internet.

I chatted him to ask if how much will it cost because my brother's staying somewhere in Cebu and planning to get his car fixed and upgrade.

It lasted for almost a month before he gets to invite me to Cebu.

There were lots of greetings and of course dinner. Then the party started.

As expected, liqours, smokes, paid ladies.

Hugo was so fast he immediately asked my to go upstairs where there are no guests as it is his room.

I turned down that request.

I said we should drink with people first. He smiled and poured me a drink.

We are sharing stories and whatever.

Eli and Hugo have a lot of similarities.

He seems to be very entertained until I asked him to go out and get some fresh air.

We are walking down the street when there were bunch of men with big bodies and stomach. Drunk men.

I smiled at them so dearing and winked.

They stood up in a flash and block our way.

"Excuse me." Hugo said and pulled me in my waist.

"Dude, your girl might want to play with us." The guy with a big stomach reeking with the smell of cigarette and beer looking at me in a disgusting way. Euhck.

"C'mon, my girl's just new here so let us just both have a peaceful night, huh." Hugo trying to get us pass those men.

I secretly hold and then let go to that man's arm and tried my best to look pitiful.

They got alarmed, "Hey, it seems like she doesn't really wanna go with you." They walk one after the other.

Since Hugo is naturally hot headed, he didn't talk anymore, he just punched that big guy and grab my wrist.

The ramble started and I acted like panicking but I didn't shout for any help.

Why would I do that?
