Chapter 7 Sing for Her...

Raphael's pov

I was awakened from my dream by the knocks on my door. I rolled and felt the wetness on my arms. I did really cried in my dream.

“Yes?.” I answered to the person whose knocking on my door.

“ Young Master, Mr. John wants me to inform you that the dinner is ready.” A maid answered.

“Okay. You can go now.”

“ Yes young master.” I heard footsteps walking down the stairs as I dismissed the maid.

I took off the comforter from me and walked straight to my bathroom. I remember Nicholas called me. I looked at time and it’s six in the evening I have one hour to get ready.

I decided to wear a simple black shirt and a pair of jeans. I wear a white sneakers and a wristwatch.

I walked down the stairs and informed John that I’m going to the pub.

“Take care young master.” John told me as he passed my keys to me.

“Yeah. Thank you John.” I took my keys and drove out of the mansions gate.

I arrived at my pub exactly seven. I walked passed the entrance. The guards greeted me. I walked straight to the table where my four buddies are seated.

“Hey, the President is here.” Marco announced as he saw me walking in.

“Oh my brother you’re here. Finally, we’ve been waiting for you.” Lucas smiled and hugged me.

“If it’s not for Peter talking about your arrival we won’t know that you’re here.” Nicholas said while passing me a bottle of beer.

“ I’m sorry. You know what’s the business like.” I apologized.

I decided to sit beside Lucas which is facing the dance floor. I sipped to my bottle of beer and listened to the music. As I heard someone calling Nicholas name. I turned my head to the direction where the woman’s voice came. I saw a woman hugged Nicholas and gave him a peck on his cheek. I assumed it’s Nicholas’s sister as I can see the similarities to their eyes and nose. They have so much similarities. They walked towards us.

“Brothers let me introduce to you my sister, Maria.” He introduces his sister to us.

“ Maria this is Raphael my boss and the most serious in our group.” I smiled and nodded at her.

“This man here is Lucas. And that one on his side is Marcos.” Maria smiled to us.

“ It’s so nice to meet you all. Thank you for taking care of my brother.” She told us before Peter came back from getting our drinks.

“ Oh I nearly to forgot this is Peter. My high school classmate. He’s the one who introduces me to the group.” Peter looked at Maria with a serious look.

“Hello Peter. It’s nice to meet you.” She extended her right hand to Peter but Peter just ignored her kind gesture. I saw how Maria changed her face from a friendly to a mortal enemy face. I laughed to their actions. Maria looked at me as I laughed.

“ Don’t worry about him. He’s just always like that.” I explained to her. She nodded and smiled at me.

“It’s okay. It’s not the first.” We got curious on what she said.

“ Oh Nicholas I forgot Arheana is also coming here. I gave her the address she’s probably on her way.” Maria informed her brother.

“Where is she now?” Nicholas asked her. She took out her phone from her hand bag and called someone.

“Hey Arheana, where are you now?” she asked to the person on the other line. We can’t here what’s the person’s reply to her.

“ Okay. Just go straight in the entrance and just say Nicholas name to the guard.” She said.

After three minutes, Maria stood up when she saw someone entered the pub. I didn’t bother myself to see the woman who’s walking inside the pub. I sipped at my bottle and continued listening to the music.

I saw at the side of my eyes Lucas and Marcos stood up. I look at Peter who suddenly stood up while his eyes widened in shock. I got curious and decided to look at the woman who’s now standing in front of our table. My blood froze the moment I saw the woman’s face. She’s a goddess. Her smile still keeps my heart warm. I stood up. She suddenly looked at my direction. Our eyes met, my heart beats faster.

“Oh yeah, Arheana this is Raphael my boss. And that one is Peter his personal assistant and also a good friend of us.” Nicholas introduces us.

“Hello, I’m Arheana. It’s my pleasure to meet you.” She smiled and extended her hands to me for a handshake. I kept looking at her beautiful face. I saw how her facial expression change. I can say she felt awkward since I didn’t take her hand. She take back her hand but before she can do that I extended my hand and took hers for a handshake. It felt so warm and perfect. It’s so smooth and soft. I can’t keep myself not to smile.

“Raphael. Nice to meet you.” I said.

“Thank you. Uhm can I take back my hand?” she asked me while smiling. I didn’t notice that I’m still holding her hand. I don’t want to let go her hand but I need to.

“Oh! I’m sorry. Please take a seat and join us.” I said as I let go her hand.

While we’re sitting I keep looking at Arhean. She’s still so beautiful. In her black mini dress she look stunning and sexy. What I noticed since she came is that she’s still wearing my necklace.

The music stopped and the people dancing in the dance floor took their seats.

“Well I think it’s time for you Raphael to sing for us.” Lucas teased me.

“ Yeah, it’s been a while since the last time we heard you.” Marco added. I shook my head as a sign of disapproval.

“That’s right. We all missed your voice.” Peter agreed. I gave him a sharp look. He stopped teasing me.

“Raphael knew how to sing?” Maria asked them.

“Yes and he’s not just an ordinary singer if he just want to be a professional one in singing he can be.” Nicholas answered her.

“ Wow! That’s great, you know what Arheana and I loves to listened to those men who knows how to sing.” Maria informed us.

“Yeah that’s right.” Arheana looked at me and agreed to Maria. I stood up and walked towards the stage. I heard my friends shouting my name and cheer me.

I carried the guitar and stand on the stage. As I began to sing I look at Arheana’s direction. She’s looking to her glass and sipped on it. I decided to sing the song that I used to sing for her.

When I started to sing I saw how Arhean looked at me with her beautiful eyes. I can see the shock and sadness in her eyes as she listened to my song. When I sing the middle part I saw that she sing the part that she can’t sing when we’re together back in our favorite apple tree.
