C4 Flash

"DAD, take your medicine after we eat." I said while chewing the food in my mouth.

"Don't worry, I can take my medications on time."

I nodded here and then continued eating.

"How is your work?" He starts a conversation quietly.

"It's fine Dad, we have lot of customers this weekend, it's as close as vacation." I said between bites.

"Well that's good, just be careful because there are a lot of drunks in the bar," he warned.

I swallowed in no time at what he said. So I immediately drank water. Fortunately, he did not ask again so I finished the meal.

"Be careful going home!" I waved as I got down to the restobar to enter. He just nodded at me then sailed away.

When I turned around the fancy flashes of the cameras welcomed me. I did not expect their series of questions.

"Miss, is it true that your rumored boyfriend is the vocalist of the band Logistic?" the reporters asked.

I was shocked by the number of them and their series of questions, I also did not know the answer so I chose to walk away.

"Miss, Cherry, right? How true is it that Rexon Del'torre defended you for insulting you last tim?"

"And what is the rumor that there is a third party in your relationship and that the manager of the restobar you work for?"

I was stunned by that question of a woman.

"Is it also true that you had a relationship when your manager and you and Rexon were together?" She asked again and the smile on her face turns wide.

"No, that's not true!" My eyes flashes with anger.

"In that case, which of the two is your Boyfriend?" she asked again with a twitched lips.

The repeated burst of the camera irritates me. So I was unable to answer. Why do I need to answer those false questions?

"Please just answer, Miss." She insists.

"You bitch! You're not Rexon's thing! Illusioned!" I heard a young people shouting in the distance.

"Miss Cherry, please answer!" They are struggling.

It was there that I felt anxious because of the influx of the people around. They shouted at me. The anger and the eagerness to hurt me is what really bothered me.

Then suddenly, some one caught my attention and without saying a word left the people. He look straight into my eyes. And right now at very moment I felt secure. I know .. I'm now out of danger.

The murmur begins and leave them speechless. We dodge through the crowds as we hurried inside his car.

Again I was nervous as I sat in the front seat and closed my eyes tightly.

"Wear your seat belt," he said in a cold tone.

I slowly obeyed what he said and glanced at the reporters outside his car.

Until his car pulled away. I strongly hold the strap and close my eyes. The nervousness in my chest seemed to have no place in the pace of events.

We also traveled a few minutes, I also do not know where we are going. When I noticed that the paparazzi were not there, my heart calmed.

He slowed down his car and glance at me repeatedly. The silence went on so long, that it became very uncomfortable. In fact I have this fear of awkwardness to open a conversation with him even though I do not know him. But in the end I chose to speak.

"Ah thank you for helping me." I hold my breath for awhile and waited his to answer.

But it suddenly braked and I turned to him. "You can go down now," he said.

I quickly looked around. I don't know where we are. I'm not familiar with the place. I also seemed to be overwhelmed with nervousness at the thought of being left in such a dark place.

"Are you serious?!" I surprisedly said.

"Yes... I said, get out my car!" he scolded. I saw his facial expression and the way he clenched his jaw hard at me.

I immediately bit my tongue at what he said before glancing around again.

"I was saved you twice. If I sniffed at one, I might charge you?" His voice was full of sarcasm.

So he is showing me his salvation is that so? Blood rushed to my head and I looked at him badly.

"Thank you, huh?" I said with my face palm and chose to open the door of his car but it was locked.

I turn around and glared at him. "Can you please open this door?" I said.

But he sat facing me with his big smirked on his face. Admit it Cherry he's God damn hot.

"Is that how you thank me?" he crossed his arm to his chest and lifted up his brows on mine. Oh deym. Why does he look hot. I wanted to pull off his hypnotism but I suddenly shook my head and sat up.

I frowned here and acted like normal. "Then what do you need?" I leaned back to the chair and face the window.

"Can you say it in a nice way?" I glanced at him and he just smiled at me like that.

I suddenly felt ashamed of what I did earlier .. How could I sound unfriendly even though he was the one who saved me when the reporters rushed.

"Okay, thank you for saving me..." I said sincerely. I bit my lower lip when he didn't bother to say anything.

He just raised an eyebrow at me before restarting the engine to start again.

I feel relieved to think I will not walk home alone...

But I immediately raised my back to my sit when I realized he was going in the other direction.

"Where are we going?" I asked, but he didn't even answer.

Oh hell Cherry... if you came down earlier, I hope he won't have a reason to take you anywhere. I calmed myself down and faced it again and smiled broadly.

"You can take me down there to the corner." I ordered.

"I have a gig to attend to, " he said and glance at his wrist watch.

"And?" My question is clueless.

"Join me at my gig tonight,"he answered cooly.

My eyes widened at what he said. "What? No way! I still have a job." I said hysterically.

"I'm afraid that the reporter is still there, if you come back there they will definitely attack you again. You don't want that to happen again, right?" He countered.

"But my job will be compromised, then why are they asking me a question? Shouldn't you?!"

He shrugged and didn't bother to look at me. I heavily sighed and tried to control my temper.

I snatched my cellphone from my bag and called Calix. "Cherry where are you? Someone saw you with press earlier." His voice has full of authority... I bit my lower lip and gasp heavily.

"I'm – sorry I can't go in anymore," I utter a sound of frustration.

"Alright, you better not come back here first," he replied.

"I'm sorry, Sir," I said in a low tone.

"Okay, Please keep safe," he said on the other line. I smiled at the last thing he said.

"Yes, Sir thank you .. You will also be careful." I could not stop myself from answering. I feel like everything is red in me. There seemed to be some tickle that also rose in my heart because of his concern.

He laughs at what I'd said. .. Oh deym I can already see what he looks like while holding his cellphone. Wide smile and arched eyebrows. ..

"Eherm..." I glanced at the owner of that voice. He continue doing that thing while he was driving.

I immediately informed Calix and pressed the cancel button before facing Rexon.

"So the news that the reporters are posting to you is true? Your boss has something for you..." He started the conversation.

"How can you be so sure?" I glared at him.

"That's why you have the courage to do phetics at work because your manager is your boyfriend." He chuckled lightly.

I hope this angel just speaks what he said. But since Calix and I were not, I frowned at what he said.

I prefer not to answer it. I don't need to explain my self to him at the first place.

"Silence means yes." He clarify and turn his face on me. I swallowed when I met his stares.

Jacky will definitely tweak me when he finds out that Rexon is with me right now and I am free to observe this close.

I don't want to deny it but he better know that I already have a boyfriend so that he can be calm.

He looked at me for a moment before shrugging. He played his new piercing at the left side of his lip. The last time I saw it, he only had it on his eyebrow, I didn't even pay attention to it anymore because I was already folding at my seat.

It also did not speak because after a while we reached a well-known restobar in San Gabriel.
