He Lowered his face to mine, he hovers his lips over my lips as he whispers "Babe, I don't fucking care what the world will say.." He pulls me closer to his body while he gently stroke my hair.
"Damn!!! Please go home!" I shout at him to stop beggin...
"It's okay sir, No worries... I must go now," I took a few steps when he walks closer to me " Can I have your number Ms. Olivia? By the way, I'm Marco Silvero"he stretched out his hand to shake my hand.
Without a second thought, I reached for his hand, gosh! He smells amazing... I walked out smiling, "I can't believe He took my number, well, its worth the wait." I giggled thinking for the turn of events.
I was reaching outside the building when the rain is pouring out so heavily, even the streets cannot be seen, "How am I supposed to go back like this?" I continued walking but seriously I don't know where am I heading on. I have my umbrella but I'm dripping wet and I need to stop on a nearby shop, I want to call for help when I realize my phone is 20% battery left. "Shit! my phone is low battery," I paused for a while thinking who is the best person to call on this moment without wasting my battery.
" Nathe?" Is he the right person to ask for help? well, I don't have to be choosy especially on this situation. I have to try, " Swallow your pride, Olivia! you have no choice...Not now..." whispering to myself as I dial his number.
"Olivia?" He quickly answers the phone, Isn't he waiting for my call at all? "Hi Nathe, hmmm.... I think I need your help right now. I'm stuck in a place I don't even know, I need to go to the nearest bus stop going back home."
"What is the nearest landmark in your location?" I started to look around to see what are the famous shops but all I find is the hotel. "There is one large Hotel here, seems like you own this hotel. It's Corden hotel, 500 meters away from where I'm standing."
" Good, wait for me in the lobby." He utters but It feels like he is rushing for something " What?? No, no, no... just give me the way back to the bus stop." I insisted on knowing it took many hours from our place to arrive here.
"I'm nearby only, so wait for me in the Lobby. Okay?". I want to insist but my phone gave up already, I walk towards the hotel while reasoning in my own mind. He is nearby? how come? My body begins to freeze as the wind violently tossing things from here and there.
"Olivia.." He is rushing towards me, " good to see you are okay, I'm so worried about you." saying these words while scanning my arms and clothes.
"I' am okay, don't worry. Let's go..." He only nodded in response and assisted me in his car, I startled when a sudden figure of a man appeared beside us.
"Sir, the road is very dangerous to travel at this point of time so the authorities closed it until further notice." A police officer advised us to stay back?
"What? until when?" I abruptly ask him without hesitation though I knew until further notice for I can't believe it. I will be left alone with him in a strange place to me?
"The super typhoon is about to land so maybe 2-3 days time..but that is not sure yet."
"2-3 days? What?" I suddenly look at Nathe with disbelief, " Nathe I have nothing to wear, no place to stay. I cannot afford this hotel" I give all my reasons not to stay with him as it was expected though.
"Don't worry, I have no clothes as well. Let us go inside first to check for the availability.." He pulls me back inside the hotel.
"Room for two please" I feel relieved when he requested for it, I thought we were staying in one room. But I cannot afford the room? " Can I go to other hotels?" I secretly whisper to him. Though I'm behind him I can see he grinned on my proposal.
" Who said I will let you pay?" He teasingly replied to me.
"I'm sorry Sir, only 1 presidential suite available and the rest are taken already. Would you like to take it? The reception interrupted us but not a good news that I want to hear. Nathe looked at me and waited for my approval, I want to say no but we don't have any choice especially the weather is so bad.

"It's okay with me.." He instantly booked the room when he heard my consent. "We get some clothes before we head for some rest OL." He's pointing to the shop beside the hotel, I haven't noticed there is a shopping mall while I'm standing here for a while in desperation to go back home.
When it comes to shopping I don't care if I'm tired and exhausted, I love shopping... Maybe it runs in a woman's blood though. Nathe is looking at me as I pick clothes and running to the store back and forth. Well, he wants these so I get as many things as I can. Whatever store we go he pay for my bills, it's quite embarrassing but he doesn't want me to spend a single penny.
My heart beats faster as we are approaching in our room, "Well I don't mind sleeping in the bathtub boss." trying to crack a joke in the midst of uneasiness but it's not working at all. His face is still stiff as he inspects the room, check the dust in the table and every corner of the room I must say.
" What are you doing?" at last I have the courage to ask him, I know he saw me in my confused state while he roamed around.
" I'm checking the place and I have a name so don't call me boss." His serious aura while responded at me.
"Sorry, I forgot.. you owned this hotel. But why do you need to pay for the room?" my curious face while I sat back on the couch.
He sat beside me holding a glass of wine, "We are not exempted on paying the rooms when we checked in even we owned the hotel." He leaned back his head to relax while sipping on his wine.
" I will sleep here in the couch Oli, you sleep in the room." Before I can say any words he stood up and went for a shower. I know he takes no for an answer so no point of arguing.
