CHAPTER 15
Not that I never went to mall, maybe I did but just thrice and no other. I want to see what it looks like now and I also had to enjoy life. Life is too short and even if I am anxious having fun, I do not want to waste my time here in the Earth.
I just realized that life is too short to be just stressed and feel blue.
"Do you want this, Astra?" Jinx asked and showed me a shoes. I bit my lower lip out of shame. I am not used of him buying me some stuffs. He had not tell me that he would buy me things I need and I thought we will just wander around.
"Uh, I don't want that.."
He raised his brows before he looked down at my shoes. "Yeah, you do not because you need it. Come on and wear it to know if this would suit to you."
I had no choice but to wear it like what he said. I then stifled myself from smiling upon seeing it suits to

"Do not let others makes you feel down, Astra." I sighed when I remember what Jinx said before he brought me home so we could rest. I do not know why I smiles very often and whenever I remember him doing good things for me, I feel something strange. I don't know what he's doing to me anymore. But one thing's for sure, I am slowly falling for him. The side of my lips slowly rose up with my thoughts. Damn it. I can't believe it! This feeling is very different. It was like sending me to a different place that causes cloud nine feeling. I am confusing myself, big time. "Astra, Jinx texted me." I looked at Sew when she talked all of a sudden. The whole unit was just silent and her voice echoed. "Huh? What did he said?" I asked while sipping on my coffee. She then smiled and showed me her phone a bit. "Here," she handed it to me. I got it and read what was written. I the stopped myself from smiling upon reading his message. J

"Have you seen Jinx?"Sew looked at me with the side of her lips rose up. "You have been looking for him often, why? Are you missing that man already? I doubt about it, Astra."I bit my lower lip because she seems like teasing me. I could not even deny because I know to myself that I really miss Jinx already. He did not even show up himself these past few days! I started my home school and he said he will accompany me but he did not.Anyway, he made me borrow his another laptop. I told him that phone is already okay and enough since I do not know how to use laptop, hence he guided me on how to open it and such a thing so I would familiarize it before I start my class."I just need his help for our lesson, Sew. And he also promised that he will help me make my projects if I struggles." I had to defend myself so I will not be doomed. Sew is such an observant person and without any of my notice, she already know things that I hides against her.She ra

"Sew said that you are looking for me, was it true?"I held my chest in so much shock when Jinx appeared from my behind all of a sudden. How did he get here silently? I was just busy cleaning the unit because Sew has left and he came on the other hand to shock the hell out of me. But then I stiffened because of what he just asked. But yes, I was looking for him.I slowly turned my body to him while holding cleaning materials for the dusty floor. I the gulped when I saw him with his formal shirts and shorts. His hair was plainly nice. He seemed like he just went to a meeting. "H-Huh? Did I?"He pursed his lips and slowly nodded. "I came here because Sew told me that you are looking for me, I thought you need something?"I felt guilty. He might in a work that I do not know and when Sew told her that I was looking for him, he went here just to see and know if something happens and if I need something. "U-Uh, I do not really need something."His

It felt surreal because it was like I am already doing so fine.Jinx guided me to work in their mansion as a secretary of Mister Adonis. I have no knowledge about being a secretary of a business man but Mister Adonis was so nice. He knows what I have been through and he respects me if I do mistakes in every of my move. But I know he was just resisting to not be mad at me because I am just new. I am getting shy because it was like I just applied and got that job to make his business life a mess."While you are at work, Astra, do not think too much because that could affect the things what you do. Just relax and act calm, okay? You seemed like so afraid of me, don't be, okay? I will not hurt you or something," Mister Adonis said while busy typing on his laptop. I, on the other hand, gulped, busy fixing and arranging bunches of résumés aside so his office would look neat."Y-Yeah, pardon me, Mister Adonis.." I uttered on air and give him a

"Why are you getting silent?"I looked at Jinx when he asked me. I then shook my head as a response and did not bother uttering to answer him. Their living room was so silent and he seemed noticing that also so he opened their television to kill the time. We are waiting for Fin to bring food here, though. Jinx also requested for his drinks so he could join me eat.Yeah, he do not want me feel alone. How sweet of him, right?"You like action movies, am I right?"My lips parted when he said that while busy looking for a channel for a nice movies. "How did you knew?"He did not look at me. "I just know, I mean, Sew told me that."I let out a small laugh before I diverted my eyes off him. I do not know why he sounded funny with that, there is nothing's even funny or something. "Yeah, I see."He fixed himself beside me upon choosing a nice movie to watch. I felt awkwardness because his mere presence was making me feel something

Just like what he said, he fetched me."Hi," he greeted when I stepped out their mansion. I just gave him a forced and awkward smile because the words his father told me did not leave my mind. Mister Adonis made me think about Jinx's feelings towards me. I mean, I have this attitude and personality that I assume some things — that only happens when I often notice that things.He opened the passenger's seat for me and so I entered there, he then guided me buckle my seat belt before he headed towards the driver's seat. As soon as he settled himself in the seat, he looked at me with his worried expression which made my confusion crept my system."Uh, why?" I asked him but he just responded with a shook of his head. I do not even know why he's not talking or even uttering something except his greet lately. I just shrugged my shoulders at it and leaned on the backrest, he, on the other hand started the engine for us to go home and have our night class.

Funny how Jinx acted like he was courting me.Everything he does for me, he became more sweet and always gives me chocolates and flowers.But I do not know if he really does, maybe I was just imagining things.I am on the verge of hating my thoughts and mind when Jinx whispered something into my ears."Would you let me court you, Astra?"My eyes widened and looked at him with so much shock. I even held my chest. "W-What?"He smiled. "Do not you notice it? I like you so much, Astra. From the first day I saw you, I already like you. I love everything about you and I want us."I pursed my lips. We are just here outside his house in the village because we decided to do jogging. And I want to sun bath. "I do not get you, Jinx. You just told me this this time. You have been acting like you are courting me. Can you tell me what you actually feel? Y-You are confusing me."He sighed and reached for my hands so he can hold me there. "Astra

"Why you seemed avoiding me?"I avoided my look from Jinx and did not bother answering his question. I continued putting the trash paper on the trash can while we were outside the mansion, in the backyard because I have to put the trashes off the office of Mister Adonis."Astra, hey, I am asking you."I sighed and shook my head. I still did not answer, I hope he get what I meant. I already responded by wagging my head."Astra, why are not you talking to me?"I just could not talk and look at him because of shame. I still could not forget my dreams about him courting me. Why did I thought and dreamed about that? It was so embarrassing and I would not tell it to anyone. I do not have the guts to and my mind could not still grasp everything that was happening in the lame dream.And I know, if I would tell him that, he will laugh at me and tease me all the time. And of course, he will damn assume! He was a bit of annoying man."Hey, Astra
