Chapter 12; Get Him

"MS. Riccardi?"

"What?" Danielle irretatitedly snap to Bricks. She was a bit startled when he called her name. She's in deep thought that's maybe why she easily get startled.

"You look very pissed." He lightly chuckled.

"I didn't."

"Well, if you say so." He grinned meaningfully, like he knows something she's not aware of.

"What?"

"It's nothing. Just go, get Mikael back. He definitely needs your help."

"What can I do for him?" She turned her gaze back to Bricks. "I'm not his nanny."

"Of course you are not." Bricks laugh. "But I think he really needs you to get away from that woman next to him. Mikael hates women when they so clingy and wrap themselves around him like a python."

She laughed at what Bricks said. "He looks okay to me, and I think he's enjoying her company."

"Well, his not," Bricks lightly shook his head. "Look very carefully at his face."

When she look Mikael's face, she could see the annoyance in his handsome face. Bricks didn't lie, Mikael really look annoyed and irritatited. When she saw that she automatically stood up, an unknown courage straighten her fighting spirit to move forward to get Mikael.

"I go get him." She said and walked towards where Mikael was, she didn't wait for Bricks answer, her body moved on its own.

"Go Ms. Riccardi! Go, get your hot-headedman!" Bricks cheer behind her, like his a very devoted fans of them, a crazy one.

Danielle took a very deep breath and closed her eyes tightly when she was just a few steps away from where Mikael was, calming herself and it took her a lot of courage to throw her shame just to get him.

"M-mikael! Sweetheart." She nervously said and tried her best to smile sweetly, trying all her might to hide the fact that she's very nervous in that very moment.

Mikael look at her with a frowned but smile automatically when he saw her. The olderly man and the snake woman look at her too with questioning face.

"Sweetheart." Mikael's face lighting up seeing her, he removed the woman's hand on his arms and approached Danielle. He kissed her chicks and snake his right hand to her waist. "Where have you been? I've been looking for you?"

"Sorry, I forget to tell you that I went outside to get some fresh air." Danielle said like she's really guilty. It's part of her role as Mikael's fake girlfriend. She just go with the flow, no questions asked, and no why, no buts.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Why? Did you miss me already?" She asked so sweetly, but deep inside her, she's trembling in nervousness and she's panicking, feeling Mikael's hand on her waist, holding her firmly make it worse. Yes, he hold her firmly but it's make her uncomfortable.

"You don't have no idea sweetheart."

"Mr. Q—"

"Sweetheart!" Mikael cut her off, warningly look at her, telling her to watch her mouth.

"Who is she?" She averted her eyes away from Mikael. Her face must have been reddening.

Mikael is her boyfriend tonight and for a couple or maybe weeks nor a few months, she couldn't tell how long she need to pretend as Mikael's girlfriend. It's so shameful if others heard her call him so very formal, like they're didn't boyfriend and girlfriend.

Maybe, in others people eyes, they looking and staring each other like they're madly in deeply in love with each other but they actually not. It's far from that. Danielle actually hate Mikael rudeness and his bossy attitude. It's very irritating.

Mikael didn't own her for him to do and say whatever he wanted to say.

"This is Lyn, and her father. Mr. Robert Dwight."

"Hello beautiful, you must be his fiancée?" Robert greeted her with a smile.

Lyn look confused, she turned to Mikael who was not looking at her. "Mikael what is—"

"Yes! She's one and only Mr. Dwight." Mikael didn't answered Lyn, obviously ignoring her. "This is Danielle Riccardi. My lovely and gorgeous soon to be wife." Mikael said to very proudly.

"Your just kidding." Lyn said incredulously. She look at her with insult and disgust in her fierce eyes, from head to toe. "Right dad?"

"I'm not." Mikael coldly answered in his very strict and deadly serious voice. "Don't worry, I won't forget to send you our wedding invitation."

"I'll expect that Mr. Quinlin."

Mikael nodded. "We have to go." Mikael said and they left Lyn and her father, the woman look dumped. "You did it great a while ago." Mikael grin murmuring in her ears.

"I just did what Bricks told me to do." She didn't saw when his face darkened.

"Do I need to thank him Ms. Riccardi?" Mikael's back from being cold and serious, the sweet, carrying and loving boyfriend a minute ago was gone.

"It's up to you Mr. Quinlin." When they returned to where Bricks was, he smiled mischievously and teasingly while looking at Mikael's arm that was around her waist.

"I enjoy the show."

"What show?" She asked annoyed and confused.

"Don't mind him, his crazy."

"I am not crazy asshole."

"Yes you are Takashima."

"M-mikael." She called his attention nervously.

"What?" He snap at her.

"C-can.... can we go home now?" She asked while looking at Rebeca who was not that far away from them.

"Why?"

"I think she's tired." Bricks said looking back at what she was looking at. "I will say goodbye for you Mikael."

Mikael stared at him then he sighed and nodded. "Okay, let's go."

In just a few moments they already in his car. "You're avoiding something at the party that's why you want to go home, aren't you?" Mikael said emotionless fucusing on driving.

"H-how did you know?"

"You look like you saw a ghost earlier at the party."

"I-if you want you can go back to the party, I won't mind. You can just drop me to the nearest—"

"No! It's okay." He looked at her slightly. "Actually I don't have plan to attend that party."

"Then why?"

"I don't like parties like that. I was just forced because— oh, never mind. Where will I take you?"

She was forced to tell her where she lived, she have no choice but to tell him. It's very late to ask him to just drop her to her Boutique.
