I TIMIDLY go with the flaw. I don't know how to react at this very moment. He seems to have eaten me alive.
"But you have the most gorgeous pair of eyes, I've ever seen so far," he compliments me again.
"Thanks, Mr. Galvez." I didn't forget to say.
He gave me his wide smile and pull me closer to him. I heave a deep sigh of discomfort because he was so close to me.
I can't breathe properly, I feel like only up to my throat the air enters. I couldn't help but tighten my grip on his neck.
"Relax, I won't eat you..." This time he bravely whispered his words to my ear.
I couldn't help but smile at what he said. How can he be so sure that's what I'm thinking?
"Can we exchange partners?" I seemed to go back to reality when I heard the familiar voice of the man at my back.
Its Rexon!
"Sure!" Nicholas answers directly.
I glanced at the girl slightly before she smiled broadly at Nicholas.
"Mr. Galvez!" The woman said that she resigned from Rexon, who she still barely supports.
I didn't notice Nicholas let go of me because I straightened my gaze on Rexon who's now without saying a word reached out his hand to me.
Seems like I want to faint now because I feel like my dying heart has stopped beating.
But I could feel something in my stomach, there weren't butterflies, there were fire-breathing dragons.
Rexon started to squeeze me even more in the back closer to what Nicholas had done earlier.
I don't want to look him in the eyes, because if I do, that might kill me. If we hadn't just focused on everyone I might have run away from this place. But before I could do that my remaining guts were powdered.
"Cherry," she whispered to me but I didn't look.
I heard him smirked and pulling around his arm close to my slender waist. My foot standstill, I also quickly stopped pressing my body on him.
He tilted his head to see my expression but I gave him a blank sheet of paper. It was only then that I realized we were no longer dancing.
"Relax, it's just me..."
Without saying a word he brought his face close to the side of my head. I could feel him sniffing my hair and let out a heavy breath.
I close my eyes, yeah of course Cherry, it's just Rexon and no one else so you shouldn't be nervous. But how can I do that, if even my heart can't beat normally?
"You're very lovely tonight and your curvilinear waist surprised me," he whispered again that his hug with me was even tighter. His chin was also resting on my shoulder as I felt him wrap his two hands around my back.
I can't even say a word as he praised me. And that unexpected hug from him leaves me speechless.
"Rexon, stop flirting," I said emphatically.
"I am not flirting. I'm just being extra nice to someone who is extra attractive. z" Then he grinned at me.
"Then stop being nice to me," I replied and trying to escape from the hug he been jailed me.
"What's wrong with being nice to someone, especially you?" he asked quickly from behind my ear.
I couldn't answer, his hug with me became even tighter, I intended to escape again from his broad chest but I couldn't.
"P-please, this is not the place for your jokes." My words are didn't seem to come out of my mouth because I still had a sore throat. There is no sense in struggling, but there is no choice but to struggle. I just tried to avoid looking because of nervousness.
"What did I do wrong?" He giggly said.
"This..." I replied and gasp heavily.
I want him to stop this because I know he just wants to annoy me. How could he play this game so damn easily?! I tried to loosen up again and I did but he immediately hugged me as well.
"Stay. No matter how hard to be it is with me, just stay," he whispered right to my ears.
My eyes widened suddenly. Suddenly I seemed to be swayed by the music that wrapped around me. We started dancing again while he was still hugging me tightly.
I couldn't help but look around. Some were still busy dancing, even Nicholas and the girl named Hannah were dancing so well. I also glanced at the band playing and Jeff's eyes blazed like torches. I know even it is shocking what Rexon is doing right now.
"I forgot to congratulate you, but you are too young to be this pressured, I don't remember agreeing to be a model tonight," he speaks like a brazen, yet intimidating.
I swallowed one after another, suddenly trembling in my chest because of what he said.
"I've been acting like I'm okay. Like this is okay with me, but the truth is not..."
He broke his hug with me after staring into my eyes. His eyes raked in disdain while his neck muscles were drumhead tight.
I tried to avoid him but I couldn't, I just looked straight at where my gaze hit his lips but Adam's apple that moves when he swallowed gives me a heart attack.
"And how are you and Mr.Galvez, doing? As I could see, he does like you, isn't he?" His brows twitched with unpleasantness, while his eyes gleam in deviltry.
"He just offered me to be the catalog model of their clothing line, that's all..." I damn full explaining.
He shakes his head, before glancing to our right where Nicholas and Hannah are dancing.
"I'm not the jealous type guy, you know," he then shrugs a bit, "But you give me a reason to be," he said bluntly.
I frowned at him and tried to read what he said with my eyes, but he wore the deepest ocean in his feline eyes. I wish I could not read what it means.
"Deep down, I'm still confused about you," he added.
I couldn't help but bite my lip hard at what he said.
"Please, Rexon, stop this nonsense conversation." I struggle to lift myself from drowning.
"I'm not through yet." He interrupted before squeezing me again to dance. I'm not good at dancing but there seems to be a rhythm that tells me to move my feet and accompany the accompaniment of music that takes me to nothingness.
I shut my eyes slowly when he hugging me tightly and his firm arm thickening at my waist with his wide sloping shoulder.
"I'll just let them stare at you all night, but you still mine... Because I own you," he whispered.
