At the hotel, still in country Z-south Korea , around 9-10pm
(The moment they entered the suite,Chloe was seated in the sofa eating.they just stood there surprised staring at her as they glanced over to each other)
Ian: where were you..? (He asked a little pissed)
Chloe: I w-as-uh... right here.. (she said as she swallowed hard the piece of food she had in her mouth)... resting for a while, I was a little tired...
Ian: and you bothered not to tell us you were leaving or something?...
Chloe: (stands) Ian chill, It's not like I've done something illegal... (She said.Ian knew she wasn't telling the truth and wanted to question her more but felt bianca's hand tightening his arm gesturing him not to push any further as she shook her head. He also nodded slightly as he; "we leave at dawn" and then left for the bathroom glancing over to Chloe one more time)
(After he left)
Chloe: (sighs in relief) oh god!!!... thank you... gosh, to be honest he scares me sometimes with his all serious-intimidating-answer-seeking-questions.. (hugs bianca tightly)
Bianca: where were you actually?... we thought you were gone missing or something...
Chloe:(sits back down) for real?...'chloe meadows' missing..?wow...no.. it'd be epic tho...
Bianca: then?...
Chloe: then what?...
Bianca: where were you?..
Chloe: oh that...-it's a long story and not that important, will hit you up later-...
Bianca: w...
Chloe: but wait!...guess what?...
Bianca: what?..(sits beside her)
Chloe: I saw your brother...like..'oh-my-god!'
Bianca: my brother?...
Chloe: yeah...he looked at me or let me say he was already looking...'man!'...
Bianca: Vincenzo in Seoul?,well that's very unusual of him...
Chloe: well I was running from some group of men who were with him actually so maybe I saw him maybe I did not; anyways what's there to loose right?(She said and continued eating)
The next evening, still in country Z-south Korea, outside town : at the mansion...
Chloe: mmmm!...auntie this jeyuk bokkeum tastes so gooodd!!!...
Her: really?..have some more then..(she said with a bright smile as she passed Chloe a bowl of spiced pork salad. meanwhile on the other hand, bianca just sat there contemplating on what to do,as she just kept drinking water from time to time)
(Just then)
Her: my dear, don't you like the food?...(She asked looking at bianca)...
Bianca: nononono,I love it...(Smiles)
Her: you do?...but how can you say that when you've not even touched the food...
Bianca: oah that...I uh..I can't..I mean I'm not uh-familiar with the sti-sp-spoons you have here and...uh...( before she could finish her sentence or before the woman could think of an initiative,Ian just leaned in and took the pair of chopsticks in front of her and slowly fetched a piece of the meal and gestured to feed her. Bianca was startled as she glanced at him and then at the food which was hanging and slowly opened her mouth allowing him to feed her. Chloe teased them as the woman just smiled at the two. 'if you're not comfortable you can use normal spoons, I think some is in the kitchen cabinet, I could get it for you' he said briefly.She then shook her head hearing his statement as she took the chopsticks from him)
Bianca: oh no don't...I'll use this, guess I'll have to use it someday anyways right...
(Just then, Chloe arose from her seat,pecked Ian and bianca and walked over to the woman and hugged her)
Chloe: Auntie mmm! I loved the food....(She said with her mouth full as she pulled back and picked her phone and handbag) I'll come by next time, I can't wait for dessert...I'm running late byeeee...
Her: okay...byeee..take care and ride safely!...
Chloe: I will...!(She said and wore her sneakers and hurriedly dashed out)
(A while later,after she left,the hall sank into silence as only the clattering of plates and chopsticks were heard)
....
Her: your girlfriend is really beautiful whe...(Ian almost choked of the piece he was about to swallow as he took water and drank)
Ian: sorry...(He said shortly as bianca glanced at him)
Her: why?...aren't you two together?...(She asked staring at the two baffled a little. Bianca saw him contemplating on what to say as he looked elsewhere and certainly was planning to avoid the question somehow...seconds then passed by when she felt her left hand slowly squeezed from under the table softly..)
Ian: no mom... we're not together...she's,she's with someone else.(Bianca noticed the hurt in his tone when he said that, she knew how hard it is for him saying that...)
Ian's mom: oh..I'm sorry for saying that, I just assumed that, for he has never brought a girl home...
Bianca: it's fine ..I understand...(Smiles)
The other side, country R-Puerto Rico, around 11pm-12am,in the VIP room
Him: thank you for coming...I didn't expect you to...(Maintains eyes contact)
Her: you said you wanted to talk...(Gulps in...)
Him: yes...I figured we talk because...I still don't get why you're behaving as if you don't remember me...
Her: I...
Him: I'm still the same guy you dated years back, nothing has changed...I didn't forget you, I don't expect you to ...
Her: i-i...(She didn't know why but a weird shiver run down her spine when he suddenly stood up and approached her..)
Him: don't worry it won't be like last time....(Sits beside her)
Her: I've given you the pass already, just leave me alone...
Him: you're changing the topic amor...but with the last sentence you made, I'm afraid I can't do that..(stares slowly down at her with a smirk and back to her face)
Him: (leans closer) I couldn't find you after you moved from Puerto Rico, you see...you weren't really honest with me as you had your name changed and stuff, didn't know what it who you were hiding from tho...but faking your identity towards me?...don't you think that was a little too cruel to someone you loved...
Her: I'm sorry, I didn't know what I was doing then and I needed time....
Him: by lying to me?...(Asks softly)
Her: but that's in the past...why don't you let go?...
Him: I agree it's in the past ....(Leans in closer as she falls back in the couch) what if I say I'm not ready to let go yet?...(Leans in to kiss when she punched him out of a sudden and stood up as she gasped and covered her mouth...she didn't really mean to)
Her: I'm sorry... I'm so sorry...
Him:(relaxes back in the sofa as he sniffed in) wow...since when did you get all worked up?..
Her: did it hurt that much?...I'm sorry...
Him: well, me holding back from not fucking you this instant is what hurts most...don't want to do it against your will you know? (He said in a low tone as he didn't take his eyes off her. She on the other hand just didn't believe what she had just heard...how raw of him to just say that to her face...)
Her: I'm sorry but I have to l-leave ...(She said and walked out...)
Back to the other side, outside the mansion, in country Z-south Korea...
Bianca: thanks for f-feeding me I appreciate it....(She said as she couldn't think of anything else to say...the atmosphere was getting too awkward)
Ian: oh that was nothing...just glad you liked the food...and....
Bianca: and...?(Strokes a strand of her from her face)
Ian: I'm sorry for what happened back in there...
Bianca: Ian...
Ian: it was out of a sudden...I just didn't realize...I'm sorry...
Bianca: no need to apologize it was nothing...
Ian: ('nothing for you but it was a big deal for me...' he said to himself) do you know how I felt?...(He said as he cursed his inside for saying it out loud)...
Bianca: what?...
Ian: nothing.... forget...(Looks away)
(She just stood there staring at him in wonder, wondering how he's feeling now, because she knew it isn't easy to just be out here all alone in the dark with someone you still have feelings for, knowing the person can't be yours ever. She suddenly broke out of her thoughts upon hearing the vibration of her phone.she took it out from her handbag as she opened her inbox and stared at the message; 'ignoring my calls hmph?... you've been away for quite too long, trust me bianca, when I get hold of you...I'm gonna fuck you so hard that, you might not walk properly for weeks')
(Her eyes widened a little upon reading it, she didn't know why...it was so raw so why was she feeling wet all of a sudden ..?)
Ian: who was it...?
Bianca: oah...uh..it-it was d-damian...(She said awkwardly)
Ian: right...(Nods slowly)
Bianca: w...
Ian: we should get going then...it's late( he said and gestured to walk towards the car when she just handed him her handbag and then approached the motorcycle and sat on it)
Ian: nonono, I'm not letting you ride...
Bianca: oah please, I'm familiar with such bikes, it's not my first time...
Ian: nono, I've got no helmets and...
Bianca: I'm not careless...
Ian: bianca...
Bianca: let me ride please?...(She said and pulled out her hand for the keys from him. He just sighed and handed her the keys as he wore the bag and sat behind her creating a little space between them. She noticed his action and raised an eyebrow and said to herself 'oah really?' and kept a slight smirk on her face)(she then turned the keys starting the motorcycle,held the brakes and stepped on the accelator grip and then left the breaks in a heartbeat as the bike bounced a little almost causing him to fall. And just when he was about to fall, he held her waist for support and drew close, that sudden grip on her waist made her forcefully let out a deep -sigh of a gasp- whiles closing her eyes a little as if swallowing a silent moan. He then adjusted him self well on the seat and drew close closing the gap this time)
Ian: careful...(He said and maintained his grip around her waist. A smile appeared on the contours of her lips as she loved his touch,because it didn't eat her up but ignited something different that was no where near pleasure inside of her. She left the brakes and took off the accelerator as they slowly sped away...)
