Diiing… Dong!

Evangeline kept roaming her eyes on the apartment building she was in. She could not say that the building was new, but it was not old either. It was just . . .

How do you put it?

Simple.

Just a two story apartment with modern minimalistic designs. Open metal stairs leading to the second floor. Metal doors decorating the façade and a narrow open pathway leading to the line of doors with only the steel railings as protection from falling to her death.

She secretly sighed in relief seeing that the apartment was better from what she imagined. Though the rotting, old materials and the smell of dirt and dump grass stung her nose.

She rang the doorbell again and again.

It took a whole minute and the door opened. Her eyes tapered at the sight of Eric's groggy face, rosy and dump.

He was wearing his pajamas in adorable light blue stripes. He didn't have his glasses and his face was red and sweaty while his hair was a mess.

It appeared he just woke up!

Eric too was surprised when

    "Welcome back!"The moment Evangeline entered her unit together with Eric, two contradicting, yet pleasant voice greeted them.Evangeline's lips and the corner of her eyes twitched upon seeing the unwanted visitors.Eric, on the other hand, was stunned when he saw the two men sitting on the sofa, entirely at home. He didn't even notice the wiggling puff of fur who was so excited to see him.Both men were amazingly built, both physical and height. One was a young man, a few years older than him, with a muscular build and overwhelming dominance. While the other, much older, was more on the leaner and calmer side though Eric guessed beneath that exterior lay hidden dangers — lethal and deadly.What's more, he could feel the palpable tension and pressure brought by the two men's deathly gazes amidst their fake smiling faces."What are you guys doing here?" Evangeline asked, unperturbed by the appearance of her unwanted visitors."We are checking up on you since you're still not at home,"

    Moments later, Evangeline stood when she saw it was time for Eric's night work to end. Daniel was accompanying her throughout the night, even until two in the morning. It was a good thing that it was a Friday, and they didn't have class during weekends.Daniel peered at Evangeline before he glanced towards the construction site, watching the workers walking out of the place.He stood when Evangeline bolted downstairs and out of the café. Stunned for a moment, his lips quirked in a helpless smile.She must like him a lot.It was a no brainer.Evangeline had fallen for Eric — hard.Else, why would she wait for him until two in the morning?Only, Evangeline hadn't realized how far she crossed that path of no return.----Evangeline bolted out of the café, and when she arrived on the sidewalk, she fixed herself. Compared to the woman who ran a marathon, the woman now was composed and refined as she flipped her hair. Raising her head high, she crossed her arms, standing beside where Eric's

    Daniel continued after he noticed that Evangeline finally finished with whatever it was that was making her crazy."Can't believe you fell for a guy like that." His tone didn't have any malice. Instead, it even had a tinge of envy in it. Glancing towards the window, he saw the construction site across the street. His eyes weren't searching for anything. He just continued to stare absentmindedly at no particular spot.Evangeline lowered her head and twirled her teacup. "I'm lucky. It just happened that I found Eric sooner." She didn't deny that she likes him. It was obvious, after all."Mmm . . ."Gazing at Daniel, Evangeline found the guy appearing lifeless. Gone was the confident and dignified man. In front of her was just an ordinary guy –– a typical boy who was facing regular problems.Something tugged her heartstrings, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "Don't worry. You'll find someone like that soon."Daniel chuckled as he retracted his eyes from the window and faced her."Like

    Five days later"My parents called last night."Maintaining her practice perfect smile, Evangeline watched the handsome man sitting opposite her with a raised brow."So you called me in the middle of the night to report that?" she said, amused with an 'I don't care' look plastered on her face.Daniel sighed, brushing his hand through his hair before he continued."They . . . They found me . . . a fiancée . . ."The spoon in Evangeline's hand, which was stirring her tea, paused briefly, though her eyes held no emotions while her face didn't give anything away."Congratulations!" She beamed somewhat sarcastically, continuing to stir her tea, ending the conversation before it even began.They were currently in Snow Café, where she was waiting for Eric to finish his night shift when Daniel called, asking for her to meet him.Looking at the uncaring woman sitting opposite him, Daniel didn't know how to proceed.Frankly, when his parents called, he thought it was to remind him to go home fo

    In the usual morning sky, amidst the vast field of flowers and greeneries, two silhouettes were laying under a cherry blossom tree in comfort.A young man was resting his head on the lap of a young woman, who was humming him a lullaby.Closing his eyes, the man had a peaceful, contented smile on his lips as he listened to the soothing sound of the woman's humming tunes while the latter was looking at the former with affectionate eyes. Her soft long hair was falling in each side of her face, and humming tunes echoed in her lips, which made the man smile even more."Hey . . . ," he said after a while.She stopped, and stared at him on her lap, whose eyes were still closed. "Hmm . . . ?"He held her eyes, a soft smile on his face as his brown eyes captivated her in a spell. Unable to look away.Pausing for a moment, he continued with a serious voice. He reached out and held her cheeks in all gentleness. "After you graduate . . . let's get married."". . ."". . ."She couldn't speak from
