Chapter 3 My Savior"WHAT THE HECK!" I shouted loudly, trying to stand up but he grabbed my waist immediately.
"How much do you want, just to be with me for tonight?" he whispered to me that pierced my ear.
"You're rude, man!" I said out loud and slapped his face hard. I did not care when the music stops and the room fell quiet because of what I did.
I pull him away and stood up.
"How could you do that, b***h?!" The man raised his hand and trying to hurt me when someone suddenly intervened between the two of us.
My lips parted when I recognized who the man is...
"Take off your dirty finger on her or else, I will gonna punch you to death," he said in a low rumble voice.
"Rexon?" My trembled lips said.
****
"Cherry mae!!" A loud voice of Jaklyn made my heart flinched.
"Cherry!" She knocks on the door one after another.
"Oh, Jacky?!" I open the door with furrowed brows.
"Cherey, look at this carefully!" She give me her cellphone she was holding.
I covered my mouth when I saw what happened at the Bar last night on social media.
"Caption, vocalist of Logistic band defend her girl friend in front of their fans!"She read that aloud to me.
"Here is another one! Is she the new girl friend of our very own Rexon Del'Torre?"
The cold seemed to envelop me in the captions I read along with the pictures there.
She read again the comments to me aloud.
"Is that really his girlfriend? OMG! Not so beautiful."
"They are not compatible."
"Is she the rumored girl friend of Rexon? Please say no!"
"Waitress? My God I thought that Rexon standard was high?!"
"It's a waste of time, it's definitely a hoax! Hahaha.."
"Rexon is mine! Please, say no!"
"They seems angry, as if they know what really happened," she said bluntly.
"That news is not true, and it's embarrassing for that person who just helped me," I answered.
"But you can't fool the netizens. They think there is something about you and Rexon." She sat down on the sofa and scrolled down her cellphone to get more some news.
"He just really wanted to help, I can't even thank him for what he did last night." I insist.
"Eh, how about you? Why did you scape when Rexon was attacked by his fans?" Her eyes rolled up.
I bit my lip at what she said. And the incident last time came back to me.
I didn't hear the crowd anymore because of my heartbeat. He almost hugged me from behind his back while facing the men who tried to rude me.
"That girl is mine!" He urgently response to Rexon.
"Why don't you just look for another woman instead, huh?"
"She's the girl we want. Just give her to us if don't want to get trouble." He lifts up his chin while grinning.
He just shrugged and glances down at me. He wanted to confirm what they said. I quickly averted my gaze because his stares seemed to be scorching.
"See? She doesn't want to," he said then he smirked.
"You b*stard!" The man said. He towering Rexon with his height and build but, he didn't seem scared. Instead he grabbed the man's shirt without warning and spoke.
"Don't you dare try to touch her," he grumbled.
The man seemed to frighten up because of his remarks.
"I will not hesitate to knock you down right where you stand" Rexon said firmly.
"I'm not scared of you? Spoiled brat little boy!" He confidently said.
I was shock when I Rexon threw a strong blow at the man. He fell to the floor and unable to stand due to intoxication.
He turned to the male companions who seemed scared because they had already dropped Jeff off the stage and approached Rexon.
There as if the fans seemed to be in a commotion, I slowly backed away and bowed when someone grabbed my palm away from that place.
I even glanced at them as if the fans were already confused.
I was breathless when we reached his office. And Calix concerned eyes darted on me.
"Are you alright?" he asked in front of me. I swallowed hard as I simply nod.
"Yes, I'm okay..." I still can't believe what happened.
And seeing Calix concerned eyes made my heart melt and blushed. It's kind of a heart warming that I probably have something important to him. I waited for this moment to happen and now it has happened so I will not miss it.
"Ouch!" I blinked my eyes so he could loosen the grip on my shoulder and act hurt.
"Where does it hurt?!" He seemed confused by what he said and gently guided me to sit in the chair before sitting down with me.
"I wasn't so sure but I think there..." I slowly caressed my shoulder up to my neck.
He looked down his eyes on my neck, so I bit my lower lip to meet his gaze.
He cleared his throat before bowing to me.
I sighed when his palm touched my shoulder again and the distance between us is now an inch and I slowly shut my eyes.
I remained still as I was anticipating of his next move .. but none, nothing's happened!
I suddenly felt a flick on my forehead so I stared.
"Ouch!" I felt my chicks turned red when he started to laugh.
"Silly girl," he said between laughter.
D*mn, why you're so Incredibly sexy Calixto? My jaw dropped. He still smiling and show off his pearly teeth on mine.
"Get back to work."
I nodded and pout my lips as if disappointed with what he said.
"I'll talk to the band, I'll see what I can do with what happened," he said before turning his back on me. I just followed him while looking out of his office.
I sighed heavily. Why he did just ignored me? Am I not beautiful? I have my curve, my sexy lips and promising look. What is missing?"
I just stood up and carried the frustration with the failed kiss. Yes I was fantasizing his soft and tender lips, but I just frowned because it seemed like a long time before I tasted it.
I also decided to leave his office, everything was back to normal when I arrived. I think the men who abused me earlier have been threw out the Bar.
"OMG!" I almost jump to my feet and my mind back to reality when Jacky suddenly shouted while looking at his cellphone.
"Cherry look quickly!" She even motioned for me to come closer.
"What is that again?" I sat beside her and stared down at her phone.
"Netizens took a video of the fight last night." She covered her mouth with one hand and watch the video.
My eyes widened because it was obvious in the video how Rexon was holding my hand that night that I did not notice.
I swallowed before speaking. "There is nothing wrong with that. Maybe he just thought of doing that because –" I sighed and thought of something to say.
"Because he just wants to? Or he liked you! You're a beautiful girl, You are!" She tapped her chin up and twitched her lips.
I just rolled my eyes at her and tried to stand up but she tried to stop me so I sat down again.
"What about you and Calix?" She asked in a tone of persecution.
"It's none of your business," I whispered.
"Ah, so, when you move to the other shift I might not even know your business?!" She grinned.
"We've just talked." I shrugged.
"Then?" She still seem to want to say something.
"Nothing .. It just plain nothing!" I smirk.
"Aww. Turtle move. It kills you, you know." She hissed.
Although it was painful to accept, I agreed with what she said. Maybe Calix didn't like me that much.
****
I almost jumped up when my alarm started the noises. I immediately hit it and went back to bed.
"Cherry, get up. You will be late to your work," Tatay Gorio called me.
"I'm coming!" I rolled over to my bed get up to go straight to my closet. I searched one by one for clothes before I went to the bathroom to take a shower.
