I sighed heavily as I watched the stars in the sky.
It's like I'm going to explode with the amount I'm thinking tonight. Three bombs tonight!
First, mommy and daddy urge me to go back to dancing. Second, that death threat. Third, my older brother's threat to me.
What can my older brother do when he finds out that we have gone beyond what he thought. I mean ... Bullet and I, we already kissed. Lips to lips.
That's beyond the limit given by my older brother. Even though I'm 20, I know I have things to try to explore because I'm so curious about life.
For 20 years, I was accustomed to being banned from all things unconnected to my studies and passion.
I can't go with Shantal to the bar, I'm not allowed to go out without Shantal. I can't be home late even if I'm 19 years old.
I know that they're just protecting me, all their prohibitions, they retaliate by spoiling me by giving me everything I want.
Accessories, foods, gadgets and everything I ask for.
I took a deep breath. I don't want to break Kuya's trust but I can't help it. I've been admiring Bullet for 5 years, and now that Bullet seems to have an interest in me, I don't want to waste that chance.
I know in myself that I don't just feel admiration for Bullet. I used to watch him secretly, but I also secretly loved him. That's where my life revolved.
I was surprised to feel the glass door of my balcony open. I saw a figure of a man entering, it was dark so I couldn't see what this man looked like.
"Who are you?" I wondered.
"Baby."
My eyes widened when I heard her voice. It's Bullet! I memorized his voice so I was sure he was the man in front of me.
"B-Bullet? Why are you here?" I stuttered the question as I got out of bed.
He went to the door and locked it. I sat on the end of the bed while waiting for him to come to me and explain.
He came closer before kissing me on the lips. I recoiled at what he suddenly did.
"I miss you," he said with his cold voice.
Maybe it's better for me to avoid his kisses, I feel guilty for what I'm hiding from my brother.
"B-Bullet, what are you doing here? M-Do you need anything from your brother?" I wondered.
He pulled me upright and wrapped me tightly in his arms. I can feel his soft lips on my shoulder.
"I heard that someone sent you a death threat." I was surprised by what he said.
How did he know that?
"How did you know, that just happened," I told him.
"Your brother called me to hire some skilled bodyguards for you, he told me that someone sent you a death threat," he whispered to me.
I nodded slowly. "You don't have to work hard for that, I'll just look for it. After all, I'm the one who needs it."
He turned to me and stroked my cheek gently. "Who told you that I'll let anyone protect you? Why are you still looking? I'm here in front of you. I can protect you more than they can, baby."
I sneezed. "You're busy, Bullet, then maybe it's safer when my guard knows about the fight--"
"Who fucking told you that I can't protect you?" it looks dark, he says.
I shook my head harshly. Why does he get angry so quickly? I did not do anything bad.
"What? W-No, no one told me. P-But, why? Have you done martial arts before?" I wondered.
He chuckled playfully and deadly. "More than that."
More than that? What does he mean?
"Why did you come here? Do you want us to go down to the kitchen? My older brother has been asleep for a while," I said to him.
I could hear him laughing again. "You're really ready to take a risk, whatever happens, huh? Baby, your brother is against this relationship and he might take you away from me, let's be careful."
I frowned. "We don't have any."
His eyes darkened at what he heard. He also tightened his grip on me so I couldn't help but be nervous about his action.
"What?" he asked with his burning eyes.
"I said nothing, p-promise. I said nothing," I replied quickly.
His expression calmed down again. He sat me on the bed.
"I know you feel tired, you can sleep, baby. I'll stay here until you fall asleep," he said as he hugged me.
I just smiled before moving to the middle of the bed. She helps me lie down on the pillow.
"Are you leaving when I'm asleep?" I asked him.
He leaned down to caress my cheeks. "Why? Do you just want me here?" he asked softly.
I shook my head. "No, I want you to rest. I just want to make sure you leave when I'm asleep. I don't want to disturb you" I said.
He smiled at me. He hugged me tightly and kissed my forehead, full of careful caresses he kissed me. It's like he treasures me so much.
"Sleep tight, my baby," he whispered to me.
I closed my eyes while holding Bullet's hand.
I can't believe that he's actually here. I'm not chasing him anymore ... I don't have to wait any longer. This is one of my biggest dreams, to be in Bullet's arms.
I'm afraid of the outcome of this, but as long as I am safe in his arms, it's okay with me.
It all happened so fast, I was even wondering how we got to this point. But I hope it won't be over yet.
I felt drowsy pulling at me, but even before I finally fell into the dark. I felt Bullet's lips on my forehead.
"Good night my Love."
