CHAPTER 19
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

"Have you two talked to each other?"While slowly chewing the food inside my mouth, Sew asked me that. I looked up at her to ask if who was she referring to. "Who?" II asked, creased brows and confused."Duh, of course, Jinx."Upon hearing his name, I properly sit in my seat. I do not even know why I did that. I felt a bit uncomfortable and awkward. I just did not forget what he said that made me feel annoyed. Like, how can he compare me with a thing? And he was even referring to the food. I and the food were completely different."Ah, yeah. We have talked, of course," I laughed and shook my head."Yeah, it was obvious that you two really talked to each other," she was sarcastic while saying that. I cleared my throat and say nothing, I just stared at my food. I could not move my hands properly because it was like I am frozen."Why do you think we had not talk, anyway?" I asked her and gulped."Nothing, Jinx just texted me and asked if

"W-wait, what? What the hell are you even saying?" I asked Jinx with my widened eyes because of shock.I could not believe he said that! Like, what the fucking hell?! He likes me and he was slowly falling in love with me? Is he even joking? Well, if he is, it was not funny. And I will never laugh at that if ever."I hate fooling around, you know.." he sighed and lifted his weight, he then stood up in front of me straightly like a soldier in a training. "I am just fooling myself, and you, Astra.""What do you mean? You are just joking back then? That you do not even care at me and you are just playing around me?"He chuckled and shook his head. "Of course, no. What I mean is, I should not fool myself to deny that I do not have feelings towards you. It was just that, I am afraid of rejection and also, you might not like me, like the feelings are not even mutuals."My heart beats started pacing. So, he was really serious with that? That he likes

"Yes, I do like you too."I am happy that I already expressed my feelings towards him. I am grateful that finally, I have nothing to hide anymore, that my feelings was already expressed and I am proud of myself for having the guts to say that. I could not help but to be proud of myself. My heart now was at peace. Nothing would bother me anymore very night and daw.If I only know that I could find my peace of mind by confessing, I have already done it from he start.I could see his eyes full of strong emotions upon hearing me repeat my words with all my heart. He looks so happy while we were staring at each other direct into the eyes. I could hear my heart beats pumping fast and I think he hears it because silence embraced the whole place. Funny how I could feel his' too."Are you not joking?" he asked slowly, voice were monotone. I nodded my head twice and forced a smile. Gosh, i felt so awkward.""Yes, I am not."The side oof his lips

Do not get me wrong, he invited me to join their dinner especially that Jinx's mother will arrive later.I am afraid and excited at the same time. I know Jinx's mother is an intimidating woman that is why I am nervous, and excited because finally, I will already meet the mother of the man I like.I want to know if she likes me or not, but for sure, she would because Jinx and Mister Adonis told me that Jinx's mother has a sweet side.
