2024-10-29 19:42:56Ajax held out his hand for me, “Then, now that you agreed, let me have your number.”
I paused, “Huh? You can ask for that from my manager.”
Ajax glanced at Manager Smith and chuckled, “Yes, I know. But it would be rude of me to just ask him. I want to personally ask you so you’ll be informed.”
Wow, rude? He’s only thought of being considerate now when he just got in her life like a tornado?
I just shrugged, “Alright.”
I then typed in his phone number, and he had a lopsided grin on his face.
“Then I’ll call you later.” He winked, waving goodbye.
I could feel someone looking at me and I looked at Manager Smith who was smirking at me now.
I raised my eyebrows, and he came closer to me.
“I can see that smile. Have you seen your photos together? You look cute.”
I blinked. Give it to Manager Smith for being the most random manager. He’s now shipping me with anyone.
“I gotta go now. I’ll go home now.”
He nodded and I went to grab my belongings, and my model shoot bag before walking to the parking lot, making my direction to my motorbike. The thick metal hit my head and before I could even start the engine, a car honked a meter away from me.
It stopped right at me as the windows rolled down, revealing a smirking Ajax.
“Want to ride in my car?” he suggested, more like a statement.
I sighed, not wanting to deal with him. I mean I saw his face for the whole day at the shoot and now that I am on my way home, he still shows up at me?
No thank you.
I mean, I should have refused to be his tour guide in the first place.
“No thank you. I have my own motorbike with me.”
He nodded, glancing at it, and continued, “But it’s raining. You’ll get wet on the road.”
I blinked, realizing what he said, and looked at the night sky to see the dark cloud thundering, as large droplets came.
I muttered a curse under my breath. Did he do something to the weather for me not to have any choice but to accept?
I know I would be drenched and soaking wet if I have to ride my own motorbike, and I easily get colds and sick, I can’t risk that with my job.
“So? Any change of plans? Or are you shy to accept my offer?” He asked, more like triggering my pride.
Releasing a deep breath, I dropped my helmet to my vehicle and answered, “Of course not.”
The smirk on his face turned into a grin as I opened the door, what more to sitting down on the passenger seat.
He then motioned for the seatbelt and leaned over me to help me with it, putting the strap on while his eye is making eye contact with me.
Since I’m proud, I dared to meet his eyes and watched as his eyes grazed my lips for a second before he cleared his throat and checked the side mirror. “Alright, I think we’re good now.”
“Yeah.”
He then turned into an alley as he started driving. Silence came between us, an invisible barrier drawing in, and he turned on the radio to listen, “Always be my baby” covered by David cook.
You'll always be a part of me
I'm a part of you indefinitely
Girl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
I can’t help but sing along to the song, jamming to it, and I noticed his eyes staring at me, watching me quietly. My cheeks flushed and I bit my lip.
“What?”
His eyes softened and his lips formed into a small smile, “Nothing, I just didn’t expect you’ll have a great voice."
I paused, “I just... like the song.” It’s actually one of my favorites, but he doesn’t have to know that.
He seemed to read through my mind as he asked, “Is it your favorite?”
I nodded, “Yes.”
“I loved hearing this song too.” He spoke up, and I nodded, appreciating how we have the same kind of taste in music.
But I shouldn’t be!
As the song ended, he cleared his throat and said, “Just tell me where you live so I can drop you off.” He said. “Alright?”I pointed at the nearest convenience not wanting him to know where I live, “You can drop me at a convenience store.”
He looked at me as if I said something weird, “No, it’s too dangerous. What if people see you at this late hour?”
“I’m fine.”
He shook his head, “Ellaina, you seem to forget how popular you are here, you know that even me, from another country, knows you right? What more to these people?”
I shrugged, “So? I love my fans, let them be if they see me, it’s not like we have crazy paparazzi's here like you have in your county, and it’s not as if I’m a ghost and can hide from them.”
He nodded, looking at me with a spark in his eyes, “I thought you’re tired and do not want that.”
“Well, you’re wrong about that.” He bit his lip and I gave in, telling him my address, and he immediately drove me there.
I hopped off his car and saw him looking at me, “Be careful there alright?”
I nodded, wanting him to leave now, but he wouldn’t unless he made sure that I went in safe and sound.
I grabbed hold of my bag carefully and walked in silence, letting the night breeze hit me. I went upstairs and saw him finally driving away. My phone then beeped.
“Take care on walking home. I’ll get your motorbike delivered there for you ;) Stay safe my Ellaina.
-Always be my baby
I can’t help but chuckle at the name at the bottom, knowing all too well that it’s him. Ajax.
Another notification from him appeared.
“Goodnight. Dream of me.”
I rolled my eyes but felt a small smile appearing on my face and fought the urge, shaking my head to clear my thoughts.
Goodness. Today was indeed crazy.

And a tall foreigner-looking man, about 6’2 inch walked toward us. Ajax was taller, but the loud man approached us. He had brown hair and brown eyes and his tanned skin was glowing. He had a fit and muscular body, almost the same stature as Ajax. "Ajax! Man, Why are you here? It’s the first time I've seen you working out in here!” He chuckled. Ajax’s mood suddenly changed and his face formed into a scowl, "You know, Phoenix; you need to shut your mouth sometimes.” "That’s harsh. You were not answering our calls when we invited you to hang out. You didn’t even tell us you were going here in the Philippines, man.” “Right Eion?” The man called Phoenix asked and another man appeared with an expressionless face. He had raven hair and dark green eyes and was taller than the man named Phoenix. The man named Eion nodded. Another one appeared and greeted Ajax, “Ajax, you’re here? You didn’t tell us, man!” The three men suddenly swarmed in, blaming Ajax for ghosting them and I stood b

“You don’t have to do that,” I said. “And since I promised to be your tour guide, then just…wait for me by your car.” He scowled at that, “You don’t want to appear in public with me?” I just crossed my arms in front of me, “People assume things. I am sure that you know how it works in the entertainment industry.” “Alright. I’ll Keep that in mind.” He said, feeling sorry. “I didn’t mean to ruin your career. I know how much you're worked hard for it…But let me at least take you out for lunch.” He offered and as much as I wanted to refuse, he was giving me a sad look, his eyes were puppy eyes and his lips were pouting. I rolled my eyes, “Fine.” I ended up saying yes to him as his smile grew larger. “Just one lunch out okay? I can’t risk getting seen by the public with a male ever again.” He nodded, “Yes, I won’t ask again.” Ajax the offered to carry my gym bag and guided me to the parking lot where his gray sub, a latest edition was parked. A few men in suits were in the

Leah glanced at me and she nodded excitedly, happy that she get to have a conversation with him, “Uhm…yes..” Ajax’s jaw clenched at that, “I know you are not close with her so don’t push yourself. I’m warning you.” I blinked at that, my eyes instanlty snapping to Ajax who was dead serious. Leah on the other hand seemed too shocked to even react. It took her a few seconds to process it before clearing her throat, “Uhm..excuse me?” Ajax raised his eyebrows, “Yes?” She gulped, “You’re rude. I am just trying to-” “You’re wasting every second I get to have a date with Ellaina.” Ajax said firmly, his tone saying he does not really want to tolerate Leah any further. “Don’t bother finishing your sentence. Leave.” And watching Ajax defend me like that made my heart skip a beat. No, wait a minute…no….just no, Ellaina. You are just getting yourself in trouble. Leah, who was too stunned to reply now, glanced at me as if asking for my help. I shrugged, “You heard him. Leave us alone.”

I wasn’t even finished saying that as he was quick to maneuver the car. He was humming a tune happily. “No, no, I won’t let you change your mind! Let’s go now!” He exclaimed and I chuckled at his enthusiasm. Silence soon followed but I could feel his stares at me. “So? Where are you taking me?” He asked after a while of driving in silence. I just shrugged, “Just somewhere.” He nodded, “I see you like keeping it a secret. That makes me more excited.” I raised my eyebrows, suddenly having an idea in my head. Oh no, Ellaina, your mischievousness is kicking in… “Just turn right in that alley.” I pointed and he did as I ordered him to. I could see that we finally lost the media and we were going to the place I was familiar with... This was where we used to live when we were still not having enough. This is where

As we walked, I looked around. I’m not lying but I’ve been here last year since my schedule was packed. It’s nice to see that the town has improved a lot. Well, other than the few unsafe spots…of course crimes are still happening but it's not that prevalent compared to the past. I spotted a street food stall selling chicken intestines, chicken feet, takoyaki, fried banana, egg waffles, and balut which is a duck egg. There was also some refreshing juice like coconut, pandan, mango, and avocado. I gulped, suddenly craving all of the food. “You want to eat there? Let’s go.” Ajax grabbed my hand as he guided me there. It was a bit packed as there was a lot of buying and I managed to squeeze in. It’s thanks to my height that I was able to insert myself into the crowd. “Miss? Can I buy some chicken feet and…” my voice seemed to drown

I didn’t have any choice but to do as he wanted.

And he bought about a hundred. “you bought a lot.” “I’ll be giving this to my family, my workers.” I didn’t know he would be so thoughtful. “We have somewhere to go to right? I; 'll h=just have them deliver m orders.” “You know you could save more money if you bought t another store. this shop isrippingg your money.” “Don’t worry, I have a lot.

I shook my head, “He’s not my boyfriend, manang Inday.” She frowned, “Oh? That’s sad, you two suit each other. Ang gwapo nya, Ellaine!” (he’s so handsome!”) I just chuckled and Ajax glanced at me, “What did she say?” I just shrugged, “Nothing.” He doesn't have to know that. I know he’s been complimented his whole life. And that might just inflate his ego. If I could only count the times that I heard that since ear

“I will have you in this desk twice until you beg for mercy,” Theon whispered as he teased the hell out of me when we arrived at the cottage we were supposed to be staying in tonight. My prayers go to Snow's workers who are assigned dot kill this room because I don't know what the bed will look like tomorrow. It's like it's not him whenever he blurts out sexy and dirty words to me. but I am loving it. “Is that seat taken?” points to his lap, not backing down too. We had developed into pure bliss the whole night. and the cottage was filled with moans and groans of pleasure, desiring each other. The trip to Snow’s resort was already over. We only spent one night there before we had to head back for Arson. Arson wasn’t pleased when we returned. He missed us too much so we decided to take him to dinner outside.I am glad that Theon is also opening his doors and letting Arson outside and letting him experience what a normal child would. He also let us dance by the rai and even joined u

“Hi, I believe you know me already,” Snow said, winking at me. She must be the life of the group with how quirky and bubbly she has been. She has been entertaining all of us since earlier. She has hazel eyes and chocolate brown hair and a petite frame. She’s the smallest of the women. “This is my husband. Eion Hudson. We are both half Filipino half American, in case you wonder.” The handsome man with jet-black hair and emerald eyes beside him nodded his head in silence and kissed her on the forehead. “He’s a man of few words but possessive. He owns this resort originally and named this after Snow that’s why Snow’s resort. And they own some shops and stores across the country.” Explained another handsome man. I could see he is a bit goody. He has been cracking some jokes for a while now and he had a nice smile. He nudged Eion, “Hey, thanks me man.

Theon took me the next day to his office for his ‘Bring your family in the work day.’“Good morning!” I greeted his coworkers who were supportive of us. “You two suit together, sir!” One of them commented. “Ever since Saphira became Sir Theon’s girl, he’s always been in a good mood.” I chuckled, this was not the atmosphere they had last time. They were all tensed and nervous every time Theon was present. uI am glad things improved and their nervousness about him changed.“Sir Theon is not moody anymroe.”“And we can joke around him now with your presence.”It ess a bit embarrassing as his secretary avoided his eyes on us. Maybe because he still remembers when he walked in on us doing the deed at Theon’s office the last time… Thank goodness that our stranded issue at Samal was not reported by the media due to the fact that Theon was one of the famous heirs in the billionaire world.Theon’s schedule is very packed as he had conferences here and there.

“Are you ready?”Theon softly grabbed my hand for support as soon as we arrived at his home, with his brothers behind us. I breathed in, preparing myself before hopping out of the car and going inside.My feet were dragging me and it felt so scary. And nerve-wracking to meet the parents.Theon decided to freshen up ourselves first and make ourselves presentable. We went through the back and I went to my room here. When we were prepared, we returned to meetup on the second floor. “Tsk. Why are they even here?” Matheo rolled his eyes as we walked. “They are getting old and senile.”“Let’s just show our faces. They might have been worried about our incident…”We went to the living room to find his father pacing around as he was talking to someone on his phone with some Italian words I don’t understand. Her mother was very calm as she sipped on her tea and she looked up once she heard our footsteps.“Theon. My son.” She stood up and kisses the three of them on the cheek, “Rameo, how a

Rameo, who was an expert at this, sighed, “It’s the caterpillar rash..he must have laid some…we need to treat that with creams, ice packs, or vinegar.”“Vinegar?” I gasped, that would be too painful!Matheo disappear to find anything that could help us. Anything that might have been washed ashore. When minutes later, a loud scream from a girl, followed by a man’s appeared. I recognize the man as Matheos and it was inside the woods. “Omg!” The girl yelped. Wait, A girl?We insanity ran to the source of the yell to find Matheo on the ground, and in front of him were five women with a flashlight on.They were looking at us with the same shocked expression and Mathoe stood up. “Hey there, ladies.” He started to flirt with them and I hit him in the head.We have people here other than us! we are finally rescued!This would be very helpful for us!My mouth went wide in shock, “W-who-I mean how?”“Uhm….are you guys alright here?

Judging by the shape of its head, I instantly knew it is a python. Too much watching from discovery channel made me this way.“That’s a python, chill!” I said, reassuring him “Python? Wow!” It didn't even reassure him. I think I just traumatized him. “It’s not poisonous.” I said, “and it seems to be still growing. Its mama might be around somewhere.” “Mama? You mean there is a bigger python here?” Mathee looked so shocked right now as if he could faint anytime. I rolled my eyes. “Is this your first time seeing a snake?”I caught the snake and threw it away. “Goodbye, snakey. Awee, you must be lost. Find you, mama.” “Wow! You have an Amazon woman right here.” Matheo commented.“Good job, babe.” Theon complimented. After that incident, we were awake the whole night because of Matheo.

I showed him my panties and he gasped. “But you’ll be all naked down there!”“So?” I chuckled, “At desperate times like this. We have to use desperate measures. And relax, they are far from here.”He then looked at me worriedly, “Be careful moving!” It didn’t take an hour for us as I instantly got four fish! I decide to get more so we could have two fish each and reserve some for tomorrow in case it might be high tide and we couldn’t fish. When we got ten fish, we decided to stop and head back. I put my panties back, just cause Theon was scared for me. The sky was getting dark now so we have to be quick. We had an overall view of the island and according to Rameo, we are blessed we have everything we need here…coconuts for water to avoid dehydration, sea for fish, and tall trees for shade from the sun. Since the sun was out earlier Matheo climbed the trees earlier to get some coconuts. I was surprised he managed it so we don’t need to worry about our water source for now. Food
