Chapter 9: Zavier's Apartment

"Take a shower first." Zavier said to her once they both arrived at the hotel room.

"Excuse me, but what about my clothes?" Airyn asked him.

"Your parent said that your room was unlocked," Zavier answered, which made Airyn look up to him delightedly.

"Ah, fine... Thank you, I'll get them." She immediately rushed to the next room to get all her luggages there.

Once getting all her things, Airyn returned to the room and found Zavier had already changed into new outfits, certainly different from the one this morning. Without asking much, she took her clothes and went into the bathroom. After taking shower, she came out and found Zavier who seemed to be waiting for her while sitting on the floor, along with the food they bought earlier.

"S—sorry, did it take so long?" She was feeling uneasy as he had to wait for her.

"No." Zavier replied, aloofly looking at the figure who was looking down. Airyn finally sat down in front of him and started to unpack her food. She unpacked the food for Zavier, and handed it over to him without saying a word. He took the food and enjoyed it. They both seemed to really enjoy their breakfast this morning.

"We're going home now. So, get ready." Zavier said after they finished their breakfast.

"Excuse me Zavier, but where are we going?" Airyn asked, muddled.

"We'll stay at my apartment," he replied and hurriedly packed his luggages.

"A—ah, okay," Airyn said and then rushed to pack up her things.

"Done?" Zavier asked after all her belongings had been put into her suitcase.

"Yes." Airyn replied. Zavier then grabbed Airyn by her wrist and walked out of the room. She just remained silent, to move.

Zavier quickly took her out of the hotel and got into the car without their parents' knowledge. He then drove his car at a steady speed towards his apartment. Well, he had decided to bring Airyn along to live in his apartment. Actually, he bought the apartment from his own savings last year. He had never even lived in his apartment, but he always had people to clean it once a week.

During the trip, none of them spoke. They were busy with their own minds. Zavier was focused on the car he was driving, and Airyn instantly fell asleep while her thick hair covered her face. Zavier was distracted for a moment when he saw Airyn was sleeping. His hand reached out to smooth the strands of her hair that covered her face without her knowledge.

Once arriving at the apartment parking lot, Zavier immediately woke her up. It didn't take long times to wake her up, just one nudge on her shoulder and she woke up right away. The two of them then went straight into the apartment.

"Sorry if it's too small," Zavier said when they were both inside his apartment.

"A—ah, no... it's enough for us." Airyn replied quickly. Zavier then entered the bedroom while she followed him behind.

"Let me do it, please?" She asked timidly when Zavier was putting her clothes into the wardrobe, making him feeling awkward. Finally, he allowed her to do it so. Well, from now on, she was going to learn how to be a common wife.

"Ok. Just put it here." Zavier replied while giving another suitcase with his clothes.

"W—well, thank you." Airyn opened the suitcase and neatly arranged his clothes in the wardrobe. Zavier was wondering, shouldn't he be the one to give thanks?

Once the items in their suitcases had been placed in their proper places, Airyn asked him if he allowed her to have a look at the apartment. And certainly, he allowed her.

'Airyn POV.

Today I was walking around and looking at the rooms in this apartment. Indeed, the apartment was quite small, but it was actually enough for the two of us. As I was in the kitchen, I instantly recalled that we hadn't had lunch. I opened the refrigerator in the kitchen hoping there were some ingredients to prepare for the meal. However, it turned out to be nothing, it was all empty. It occurred to me that I should buy food ingredients and home furnishings that were still scarce in the place. I went straight to the bedroom and ask Zavier if he allowed me to go to the shopping centre for the purpose.

"Excuse me, could I go out for a moment?" I asked him who seemed to be preoccupied reading a book.

"...." There was no response. He raised his eyebrows that made me jump into conclusion that he was going to ask 'what for?'.

"I just want to buy some cooking ingredients and home furnishings. I promise, it's just a minute." I said again, hoping that he was going to allow me.

"I'll take you there," he replied, getting up from the sofa, putting away his book and taking the car Kyas. Soon, he walked out of the apartment as I followed him behind.

"I'm sorry to bother you." I said on our way to the shopping centre.

"...." Again, there was no response.

When we got into the shopping centre, we went straight in. I took a trolley for the things I was going to buy later.

"Excuse me, Zavier. Aren't you tired? I'll buy quite many things." I said to him. Well, I was going to buy a lot of things, I was afraid that he was going to get tired if he kept following me inside.

"No." he replied slightly. Finally, I started walking into every aisle to buy some ingredients and items I needed.

Once everything I needed had already filled in two full trolleys, I finally decided to go straight to the cashier. I went in to pay for the trolley I brought first, and then the trolley that Zavier brought. However, when I was about to pay, he had already handed over his debit card to the cashier that made her confused which one to choose.

"Take it," he said to the cashier, which made her take the debit card, and ignored the card I handed over. Once everything was paid, we went straight to the car to go home with heavy shopping bags.

Arriving at the apartment, I immediately unpacked the shopping bags and prepared our lunch. Today, I intended to prepare some dishses like capcay, chicken fillet, and chili sauce. It was simple, but I hoped Zavier was going to like it. Once finished, I went straight to my room to invite him to have lunch together.
