Georgina
After a long flight, at last, we arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Hello Philippines! Welcome back to me.
I ignored the man next to me on the whole flight. When they announce that we can get up and leave. I immediately stand up from my seat. I want to get away with this jerk beside me as fast as possible.
"Hey! Georgina!" Nathaniel frustratedly called me.
I rolled my eyes at him and ignore him.
I was about to walk away when he holds me on my wrist.
He’s really getting on my nerves.
"What is it again? Can you please let go of me?”
I couldn't hide my annoyance to him.
"What do you want? I’m kind in a hurry if you didn’t know." I added.
He looked at me like he was reading what I had in mind. It took a couple of minutes before he speaks.
"You’re going out with me.” He declared. I know he’s not asking or anything. It’s a demand.
Damn it! Who did he think he is?
I tried to pull my hand away from his grip but I couldn't because his grip was too tight.
"Can you please let go of me!" I half-shouted. I can feel that at any moment I might hit him.
He shook his head.
"No. I know you will walk away if I let you go" he said while looking in my eyes. Why it feels like what he said has more meaning behind it.
My heart start to beat insanely fast again. How could he manage to make me feel this way? Ghad! I don’t like it. I don’t need it. I don’t want another heartbreak caused by this man again. I’ve been through enough because of him.
I swallowed several times while staring at him. I can’t speak. I can’t think of anything I can do or say to him. I gasped in the air when his eyes move and settled in lips. He slowly licked his lower lip. I feel coax while watching him do that. I’m really losing control over my mind. I can’t protest when I saw him lean closer to me.
Someone cleared his throat when our lips only inch apart.
"Sir Nathaniel. It’s good to go." The male flight attendant says.
I don’t get what the FA mean. But I only notice that they knew Nathaniel.
"Okay!” Nathaniel answers to the FA and glances back to me again. "Let's go." He said and pull me.
"Can you please let go of my hand Nathaniel. You don’t need to pull me around, you know. I know how to walk." I sarcastically said.
He groaned.
"I know you can walk. Did I say you can’t’?" he retorted back.
My eyes widen.
Burned yna! Damn this jerk.
"Just let go of my hand."
His eyes furrowed.
"No."
I look around and I notice some cabin crews looking at us.
"I’ll scream if you still didn’t let go of me." I warned him
He smirked and looked at me like he was amazed by what I said.
He leans forward to me and whispers. "Be my guest."
"You can shout till your heart content, but apparently the people here will not help you, even if you beg them too. I can assure you that"
I swallowed again, it looks like I don’t have a choice but to let this jerk pull me around.
You’re to pay for this Nathaniel. Ahhhh!
I just let him pull until he stops in front of the immigration.
I thought he will finally let go of me but Nathaniel didn't let my hand down. Even we were done in the immigration, he pulled me out in a small door. It's not the way to go to the arrival area.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"Shut your mouth, will you."
I can’t believe him. Why he sounded like he was angry at me? When in the first I should be the one who’s mad between me and him.
"I will not! Just tell me where the hell we're going. I already planned that I’m going straight to Aria’s place to surprise them."
He didn’t say anything and continue pulling me around.
Bullshit! Why am I letting this jerk to this to me? I really hate him.
We stop in front of a luxury car.
He pushes me inside and he went inside too. The engine is already on and the driver starts driving when we got inside the car.
I just look outside by the window. My eyes widen when I remember my suitcases.
Damn it! I cussed to myself.
"Oh my gosh! We need to go back, Nathaniel. My suitcase! I don’t have my suitcase.” I said and start hitting him in his arm. "This is all your fault. Take me back there."
His jaw clenched while he’s trying to stop my hand to hit him more.
"What? Can’t you hear what I said." I look at the driver. "Mr. Driver can we go back to the airport?"
The driver looks at me from the rear mirror and smiles to apologetically.
"I’m sorry miss but I can’t."
I pout my lip and glance back at Nathaniel.
"Let’s go back or if you want, you can drop me off here. I’ll just go back there by myself.
He still didn’t listen to me and shook his head.
"No! Listen to me okay. Did you even know how many reporters are waiting for you in the arriving area?" he asks
My eyebrows met because of what he says. I didn’t know about that.
"I guessed you had no idea. Someone leaked your arrival time. You're not an ordinary person Georgina, you're well-known around the world. Where's your bodyguard anyway?" he asks me again.
My mouth fell open. I had really no idea about the reporters waiting for me and I also hate to admit that he’s right about the bodyguards.
"I left them in New York. I didn't go here for work. And besides, the agency was the one who's paying them."
He sighed.
"Okay..." His stares became softer. "Don't worry about your luggage, it's already on the back compartment before we went out of the plane."
I took a deep breath and nodded. I couldn’t say anything more because of the stare he was giving me. I could feel something familiar feeling inside of me. I tried to ignore the fast beating of my heart while I looked intently into his eyes. His expression softens while his eyes leave my eyes and give time to stare at my lips.
I felt the dryness of my lips so that I did unintentionally slide my tongue around my lip and bit my lower lip after.
"Don't do that?" Nathaniel whispered.
I'm confused. "Do what?"
"Biting your lip." his tone deliberately clipped.
I gulped hearing what he says.
"You are teasing me too much. Don’t test my self-control Georgina."
It made me confuse more.
"Huh?"
He heaved a deep sighed before answering me.
"I might kiss you hard if you continue doing that."
I gasped and it made me look in lips.
Then memories of us kissing start to coming back through my mind. Our first kiss and after that. Beautiful and wonderful memories. I was about to smile reminiscing those memories when painful memories coming through me too. It made me back to my senses.
I look away immediately and shook off the memories in my mind.
That was close. I can’t let myself be in that situation again.
He may be still can make my heart beat this insanely fast but he's still and remained to be the one who broke it and leave it to bleed to death. I don't want it to happen again.
I just sat in silence and look out of the window again. He asked me if I was hungry but I said no.
I told him that he could drop me off to a hotel but he said no.
"Why?" I snap. I really want to smack him in his head.
He hissed. "Because the paparazzi is expecting you to stay into that kind of place. I let you borrow my condo, it's near at Arianna’s home. The security to that building is tight. It will hard to enter the facility tut if you really want to stay at the hotel, it’s your call."
His offer sounds tempting.
I nodded. "All right. I’ll pay you for accommodating me."
I just agreed to him. It’s a win-win for me. Near aria’s place and more importantly, the paparazzi couldn’t pest me easily.
"You don’t need to pay me, I'm lending it to you for free."
What the F!? I don’t want to owe him anything.
"No. I will pay for it. I don’t like the idea of me, owing to you of something." I insist.
He sighed.
"Okay, you can pay it but not by money."
"Huh? How am I going to pay you if don’t want money?" I pause and think about what does he want for a repayment. My eyes widen when something came to my mind. "You’re a p*****t!"
He looked at me. Confusion is written in his handsome face.
Damn yna! Stop praising him.
But he is really handsome. He became more good-looking after all these years.
"Done checking me out?" he confidently asks.
I rolled my eyes at him.
He starts to laugh.
" Next time I'll tell you how can you repay for staying in my condo."
I nodded while not looking at him and lean my head on the car window.
