Episode 31
Cali’s Pov:
I felt so nervous as I sat next to him in the moving car.
Where could he possibly be taking me? I thought we weren’t meant to leave the institute??
So, people like him can break the rules, right?
I watched him as he turned the sterling. Gosh! This guy’s damn cute!!
After a very long while, the car c@m£ to a halt and I looked out the window to discover we were in what looked like a field.
Hmm. A greenish field.
“Come out” Miquel said as he opened his own door and stepped out of the car and I also did same.
Oh!!! Now I can have a clearer view. Its actually a golf field – a round.
Hold on….
Is he here to pl@ygolf???
The field was empty like he’d ordered everyone to leave before coming. Wow! But it was beautiful.
I’d only been to a golf field once – when I was 10.
Dad had taken Owen and I out for fun and we pla-yed a little golf.
“Open the bag” Miquel instructed and I quic-kly placed the bag on my feet and opened it b
Oh!! Now, I get what’s in the bag.
Golf equipments, bottled water, shi-t…
Hmph.
He walked to me and took the things he nee-ded from the bag.
I stood by and watched him as he set to work, pla-ying with the golf.
He’d strike it with the stick and ask me to get the ball when it’s rolled into a hole.
Seriously????
Is this the reason he brou-ght me here?? So I could be some golf girl for him or something??
Gosh!!! I was so hungry.
*

It went on for a long time and when he was done, he took a seat while I p@n-ted heavily.
“Get me the water from the bag” he requested and I quic-kly reached for the bag and brou-ght out the water.
I was still breathing and sweating profusely.
He’s actually the one who c@m£ out for fun. Yet, I’m the one breathing like a lizard.
I gave him the water and he opened it and gulped it down. And as his pinkl-ips rounded on it, I felt my throat becoming dry and thirsty.
Hmm.
My w@!st was hurting, but I didn’t know if he’d find it offensive sitting next to him. So, I just remained standing.
He sighed after drinking from the bottle and when he was done, he stood up.
“Let’s go” he said gruffly and headed for the car and of course, I followed.
We both entered the car and zoom! He took off.
Well, I guess we’re headed back to the institute. Gosh! I was so hungry.
I rested my head on my palm as the smooth drive continued and I noticed something. This wasn’t the route to the institute.
He was taking a different route.
Huh??? Where’s he going again??
I looked at him and felt like questioning him, but suddenly held my ton-gue.
Gosh! I’m so doomed.
He finally pu-ll-ed over in front of a restaurant and my eyes beamed.
Oh my geee!!! Tell me we’re eating, plea-se.
I g@sped in excitement as I followed him out of the car. Seeing the restaurant actually increa-sed my hunger.
He walked into the restaurant while I followed him behind, running my eyes round the sparkling place.
Gosh! It was so beautiful and clas-sic.
He took the lead and found a table where we sat facing each other. And immediately, a waitress rushed to us.
“Good evening, sir. Good evening ma’am. What’re your orders, plea-se?” She asked politely, her book and pen set to write.
Well, of course, I didn’t say a word but awaited Miquel to make the decision. I don’t think I have a say, do I?
“Tell her what you want” Miquel suddenly said and I felt my heart skip.
Huh??? Did he just….?
Oh my geee!!!
I felt my cheeks heat up instantly as I looked at the waitress.
“Um….I think I’d go with some rice and beef stew” I replied and li-cked myl-ips.
The waitress scribbled it down in her jotter.
“Okay. And you, sir?” She turned to Miquel who just sighed and brushed his f!ngersinto his hair.
“Same thing she ordered” he replied and the waitress nodded and left.
Hold on…
Whaaat??
Did he just say *same thing she ordered?*
No. I probably didn’t hear him clearly 🤔
After a while, the waitress returned with our orders in trays and that was when I confirmed it – he’d ordered for the same thing i did!
Huh?
“We don’t have much time. Eat up” he said coldly and trying to take in the surprise, I took my spoon and started eating.
*
*
Well, like you’ve alre-ady known, Miquel isn’t the talking type. So, we both ate silently.
He just kept picking at his food while I rushed mine. Trust me, I chomped and devoured mine. I was 100% hungry.
*
*
By the time we were done, I felt a little full and relieved.
Hah! Thank goodness.
the waitress c@m£ for her bill and after paying, we left the restaurant.
Oh my! It was alre-ady dark outside! So dark alre-ady.
What a nice way of celebr@ting my birthday, huh??
Cra-p!
Just on our way to the car, a little boy ran up to us, holding some dangling things in his hands.
“Hey, mister. Good evening. Um…so sorry to disturb you. But would you love to get something for your girlfriend? I’m sure one of these would fit her a lot because she’s so beautiful” the little boy said fanatically, ma-king my cheeks heat up again.
Huh??? Where the hell did he come from?? Oh God! These people wants to kill me.
What if Miquel gets angry and increases my punishment?
He was just silent and stared at the things the boy was holding.
“Miss, if you convince him to buy from me, I’ll tell you a secret” he said with a wi-nk and I scoffed.
“I’m not his….”
“I’ll get this” Miquel cut in cut in coldly when I was about speaking up.
Seriously?
Hold on…did he just say he was buying something? Oh! He’s probably buying something for himself.
He selected something from the boy – a pretty n£¢klace and turned to me.
Okay….No, no. This is probably a joke.
He c@m£ close and locked the n£¢klace around my n£¢k and my eyes beamed.
Whaaaat???
Holy Molly!!!
It rendered me speechless and gob sma-cked that I couldn’t even blink.
He di-pped his hand into his trou-ser pocket and brou-ght out a hvge sum, handing it over to the boy.
“What???? Mister!!! Thank you so much!! Thank you so much, mister!!” The boy exclaimed happily, his eyes beaming with excitement.
“This will go a very long way. My mom will be so happy, mister. You’re god-s£nt”.
Hmm. God-s£nt indeed🙄🙄🙄
The boy’s happiness brou-ght smiles to my face.
“For this, she won’t be the only one I’ll be telling a secret, but you as well! So….you’ll be getting double secrets from me!
“I’ll tell you a secret about her, and I’ll tell her a secret about you” he enthused and I arched my brows in surprise.
Is he being serious???
He smiled and went closer to Miquel, beckoning on him to bend a little because of his height and Miquel complied.
He whispered something into his ears and to my greatest surprise, he cracked.
Whaaaaat??
Miquel cracked!!!
Holy….Molly!! He cracked and almost laughed.
My eyes wi-de-ned in shock as curiosity got the better side of me.
Hold on. …what exactly did he tell him? What secret of mine could he possibly tell Miquel??
I tried re-ading his thoughts, but discovered I couldn’t.
Who’s he??
“Your turn, miss” he beamed and beckoned on me to bend a little and I did.
And softly, he whispered into my ears:
“He may act grumpy,
But he hates being alone”.
I felt a cold and enigmatic feeling struck me as soon as I heard those words.
Whaaaat??
What did he…
What did he just say???
I lifted my head to look at Miquel and caught him staring at me.
Then, I quic-kly lowered my gaze.
“Goodnight, mister. Goodnight miss. I know you aren’t d@t!ngyet. But….you two will make a fine couple. Oh!! And don’t worry, I’m not a diamond. Its just a special gift that runs in our family” he chirped and ran away.
For a while, Miquel and I stood silently, just staring at the kid as he got lost in the dark.
*He hates being alone*
Those words repla-yed in my head. Miquel hates being alone??
For real??? When he’s always pushing everyone away?
But….
“Let’s go” he interrupted my thoughts and proceeded to the car while I slowly followed.
He turned on the ignition and in a giffy, we were on our way.
So many thoughts kept clouding my mind that I didn’t even realize he was taking a different route from the institute.
The silence that ensued between both of us this time around was different and I could feel it. This time around, I felt nervous.
After a long ride, he parked the car and asked me to step out with him and I did.
Where’s he going again?
Its so dark alre-ady and…the sky. It looked like it was gonna rain soon.
He inser-ted his hands into his trou-ser pockets and did the gentleman style.
Hmm.
I felt honored walking beside him. But then again, I wondered:
“Where’s he taking me?”
Where’s he going?
We walked for a long time that my legs were alre-ady hurting.
But finally, we got to our destination – where I presume was his destination because he st©pped walking.
Huh?? It was actually a bridge.
Hold on…………
A bridge!!!!

Episode 32
Cali’s Pov:
I re-leased a light g@sp as the thought niggled at me. Could this be a coincidence? It was actually a bridge.
And few days ago, that strange guy – Mykel – had drawn a bridge on my arm which made Miquel really angry.
First time a guy sl@pped me.
Why did he come here?
The bridge was dark, but gloom lights from the lampposts helped brighten it up a bit.
There weren’t much people around – just few lovers jittering.
I was still curious but couldn’t ask any questions as we faced the bridge and I looked at Miquel to see him staring intently at the waters.
Hmm.
What could be going throu-gh his mind? I thought.
Why did he come over here? What’re his reasons?
could this bridge be related to the same bridge that’d gotten him angry?
He didn’t say a word but only kept staring. And suddenly, I felt a rain drop on my head.
Huh??
I looked at the sky and found it really cloudy.
Oh-oh. I knew It was gonna rain soon.
I looked at Miquel and didn’t know how to tell him about it. I didn’t want to do anything that’d get him upset.
The drops began to increase and the rest of the people on the bridge started dispersing.
Okay….I think it’s high time we left as well. Considering the fact we’d have to walk a long way before getting to the car.
“Sir….I think we have to leave now. Its….its about to rain” I turned to him and said but as expected, he didn’t say a word.
There was something else on his face – a streak of pain on his face. Pain and anguish.
I bec@m£ calm and studied him.
Now, I know. Indeed, there was something about the bridge.
The rain drops started increasing ra-pidly until it made me feel I was taking a shower.
Miquel took in a de-ep breath before turning away from the waters.
“Let’s go” he mumbled and started walking away, while I followed.
I was so worried.
He walked slowly, his both hands in his trou-ser pockets.
Gosh; the rain was really telling on me.
He walked at such a slackened pace like he wasn’t bothered by the rain. And unfortunately, I couldn’t leave him either.
Suddenly, he st©pped walking.
Huh??
I also st©pped walking to look at him and found a streak of blood rushing down his nostrils.
Whaaaaat????
Is he angry???
“S…sir” I called in shock and he quic-kly turned around, backing me.
Oh God!
At that moment, I felt scared.
What’s going on?
“You should go to the car” he said gruffly, still backing me.
I should’ve been happy, right? I should’ve been happy he’d given me the go ahead to stay in the car so I could be away from him and the rain.
But at that moment, I couldn’t. I couldn’t explain it,,but I couldn’t leave him – despite the fact he was angry and being close to him at that moment was dangerous.
I stood behind him and thought of something soothing to say.
“S….Sir” i stuttered,,ma-king sure my voice was calm enough.
I saw his hands go over his face, probably cleaning off the blood.
why’s he angry?
He lifted his head upto the sky before turning to look at me.
The blood stain was no longer there, but gosh! His eyes were fierce.
He didn’t say a word, but started walking away and I followed him.
Gosh! What could be wrong?
We were alre-ady drenched by the rain but at that moment, it didn’t matter to me anymore.
All I cared about was Miquel. I could tell he was going throu-gh a lot of pains and the mere thought of it alone was driving me nuts. It gave me so much concern.
I walked behind him for a long time until we finally got to the car.
Sitting next to him, I could see how r0ûghly he handled everything. He was so damn angry and was probably trying control himself.
He turned on the ignition and started driving.
*
*
The ride was long and broodily silent
Miquel kept hyperventilating in the car and I continued praying his anger doesn’t go beyond this stage.
After a while, we arrived at the institute and none of the guards at the gate dared to question us.
Gosh! So, Miquel can break the rules and without being questioned?
He didn’t drive to the garage, but parked in front of his block and without saying a word, he c@m£ out of the car.
And without being told, I stepped out as well, carrying the big bag along.
It was still raining and we hurried into the building where he opened the door to his ap@rtment and we got in.
Finally. Sheltered from the rain.
I dropped the bag on the floor and turned to look at him as he started un-bu-ttoning his shi-t.
“You can leave” he said icily without looking at me.
Hmmmm
He was facing the table, while he un-bu-ttoned the shi-t.
“Sir” I called calmly, clasping my palms together.
“Is….is there something bothering you? Is there a problem?” I asked but he didn’t reply.
Okay….another try.
“You can talk to me, sir. I…..I can be of help” I said again and slowly, he turned around to look at me.
Oh! Good Lord!!!
His shi-t was halfly opened, ex-posing a bit of his killer tattooed che-st.
Holy Molly!! I wasn’t expecting this.
“You want to be of help?” He asked and started walking towards me.
Huh??
I gulped nervously and moved back, but he continued walking towards me and at some point, I felt the tone of my heartbeat change.
“If I tell you what I nee-d” he said.
“Would you do it?”
I panicked as I finally got stuck to the wall, unable to move again.
Oh God!
“If….if it’s something I can do…..I will” I stuttered and swallowed ha-rd .
He also st©pped walking when stood very close to me and pinned his left hand on the wall over my head.
Our faces were almost tou-ching as he bored his eyes into mine.
“It’s something you can do. Would you do it?” He asked coldly and I felt cold shivers run down my spine.
Oh! Cali, maybe I should’ve kept shut and left when he asked me.
Maybe I should’ve minded my own business.
“I’ll….I’ll….I’ll try my best” I faltered and took in another nervous gulp.
He used his other hand to t©uçh the ti-p of my hair and slowly, he whispered into my ear:
“What if I tell you I nee-ded se-x?”
