Chapter 8

"It's been a long time Ramices." Axel greeted while sitting beside me.

"Umm." I just nod. I can't find my voice to greeted him back. I don't know why my heart beating fast right now.

"By the way Ram, I forgot to tell you that Mr Amos here, is the co-owner of this restaurant." Sid said smirking.

"Really?" I said looking at Sid sharply. This bitch, he fooled me all this time. Now I know why he chose this restaurant even it is far from our location a while ago.

"Yes. My friend and I, just open it 4 months ago." Axel said looking at me.

"Well, congratulations then. I really like the food. It's so tasty." I commented while looking my plate. I can't look at him back knowing his eyes was still in me.

"I'm glad you like it. I really suggested to Sid to drop here at least once."

"Of course how can I say no to the delicious food, right Ramices?" Sid said waiting for my reaction.

"Yes, of course." I just agreed to him but looking him sharply. This bitch he really doing this on purpose. He's enjoying seeing me this timid in front of Axel.

"By the way, can I offer desserts? Anything you want, it's on the house." Axel offered.

"Oh, I'm okey. I'm already full. How about you Ram? I know you love sweets. Do you want one?"

"No. I'm already full also." I refused. "I guess we need to go Sid, we already bothered Mr Amos here." I said and sign Sid to go."

"No. Of course not. You're not bothering me. I'm the one who first approached you."

"Well, we need to go either. Sid let's go." I said and about to drag Sid out.

"Wait, Ramices!" Axel said and suddenly hold my arm. I was startled from sudden electricity flown in my body because of his touch.

"W-what?" I asked in stammered voice.

"Can I have your number? Sid told me your a professional layout designer. In case I needed one." Axel said.

"Umm... I think..." Trying to refuse but I don't know how to reason out.

"Please..." Axel beg and no plan to let go my arm.

"I..." I hate myself for not finding a perfect word to refused.

"...o-okey." in the end I said.

Axel let go of my arm and gave me his phone. "Here." he offered.

I have no choice but to type my number to his phone. While on my side, Sid smirking at me.

"Thank you. Wait, let me check it first if it's correct." Axel said.

Before I know it my phone ringing. I sighed before I showed up to him. "Satisfied?"

Axel just smile sweetly. "I gonna call you Ramices, don't forget to pick it up." he said.

"Sid let's go." I said to Sid and walk first to the exit door.

"Hey, that's rude best." Sid scolded.

"You set me up." I said accusing him.

"Of course not, I didn't know he's there."

"But you know he's the owner."

"Well, I'm guilty with that." he said and laugh softly.

"You bitch!"
