When he finished the song, he turned to face me and grinned. I reciprocated with a smile.
We sat in our chairs and started eating while he spoke sweetly to me. It makes me squirm a little. I'm not used to hearing someone speak to me with such sweetness.
Of course, after we finished eating, we exited the restaurant.
“What should we do next?” he asked.
‘How about we go see a movie?'
“Let's just watch a movie!” I suggested.
He smiled softly once more.
“That's right, that's great! Let's see a movie together!” he remarked as he dragged me up to the mall's second floor.
He was the one who first drew me into Tom's World, I recall. And now he's dragging me to the cinema.
We decided what to watch at the cinema when we arrived.
“What's a good movie to watch?” He asked.
He said, “Let's try 'The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.”
I simply nodded.
Before going inside, we purchased tickets, popcorn, and drinks.
×××
We exited the theatre once we had finished watching.
“Did you have fun, Xy?” He inquired. I grinned as I glanced at him.
I exclaimed, “Of course!”
“How about you?” I inquired.
He strained, “Sure, it's because you're with me.”
I chuckled. “That's good”
“Why are you laughing?” he asked when I suddenly start laughing. I just remembered something. Though it's not that funny but...
I smiled at him. “Because everything that transpired has left me speechless. Like our first encounter, it was a not so pleasant day, because your fans were after you, you had just brought coffee and you hit me, so I was filled of coffee you bought, I was upset with you at the time because you didn't even apologize, so I chased you down, and you dragged me along with you. I even said you looked like a gorilla. We started out as foes, then became friends, and then you became my suitor all of a sudden. It all happened so extremely fast!” I said. It is very funny to imagine!
This is something I didn't anticipate to happen!
“Please accept my apologies!” I was enraged because you loaded me with hot coffee at the time. Even before that, I was irritated because of the issue where I kissed Chantal's so-called lover. So I genuinely apologize for being so cruel to you back then,” I added, looking into his eyes.
“On one condition,” he said. My brows furrowed.
“What exactly is it?” I inquired.
He gave a kind smile.
He said something that made my heart race: “Let's be official.”
I averted his stare for a little moment before returning my gaze to him, smiling.
I'm sure he's joking, but...
I said, “All right.”
As I stared at him, his eyes widened.
“Really?! We're already official?!” With a surprised expression on his face, he inquired.
I gave a nod.
“Yes, Dwyne Harrison, I'm making us official. Because I already like you and am beginning to love you” I stated, then turned away. My cheeks were still flushed.
My heart was racing so rapidly it seemed like it was about to burst through my rib cage. Because of my confession, my entire body was flushed with embarrassment. Because I'm not used to expressing my feelings for someone.
But I just did, and it's incredibly humiliating!!
"“YES!!!” I was taken aback when he abruptly shouted, drawing everyone's attention to us.
I just smiled and stared at him.
I'm sure he's overjoyed right now. Because I'd already formalized our relationship. Yes, I still have my doubts, but that didn't stop me from pursuing a romantic relationship with him.

Until I entered my house there was still a smile on my lips.
Dwyne was the one who sent me home! I was sent home by my lover!
When I finally made us official earlier, I could see how delighted he was.
~One, twenty one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight—~
I picked up the phone and answered it. If you inquire as to who called. It's Xiera.
I enquired, “Why?”
[Dev, turn on the television! You and Dwyne are all over the news!]
I hung up the phone. I did, in fact, turn on the television, as she stated.
“News Flash: Actor Dwyne Harrison and Xyna Alegre, a well-known actress and female boxer, were caught laughing at a mall together. It's also been three months since the two were seen at one of Harrison's resorts with their Hollywood friends. Is there a connection between the two? We're still waiting for a response from the two.”
What the fuck? Well, it's not really that surprising anyway. We're on a public place earlier so obviously all people's eyes are on us. It's not that big deal tho.
