CHAPTER 13

Amethyst's POV

“Welcome to Dulce Casa Amore,” Aivan said to me as we stood in front of a gigantic and splendid building. It seems like it's glowing around, we're still outside but it already amused me.

My lips were a little parted at its hugeness and you can tell that this place is for elegant and high class peoples.

"This is so splendor," I whispered softly.

"Tristen's parents own this," he said and I looked at him.

"Woah, they are this wealthy?" I asked in amusement.

"He's the third most richest among us," he said that made my forehead furrowed.

"Us?"

"Yeah,"

"Wdym?" Because of this, he turned his gaze on me and saw his beautiful thick eyebrows met.

"That means, 'What Do You Mean?'." I don't know why my heartbeat suddenly quickened.

'You just got nervous, Amy,' a part of my brain said.

"We have friends," he replied and turned his gaze back to the building.

I looked at him more and his aristocratic nose was the first thing that caught my attention.


"How come?" I wonder and because of what I said, he looked at me and gave me a death glare, I immediately felt intimidated and I just shakingly do a peace sign on my hand.


"How many are you?" I just asked.

"We're five." He just returned his sight to the front.

"Third? So, that means there's wealthier than him?" I asked more.

I'm just wondering what is the rank of Aivan in them. What? I'm just curious.

"I don't want to talk about it. Besides, I'm just kidding. We don't compare each other's wealth. Let's just go inside, instead." Before I could protest he grabbed my wrist and we went inside.


'Why he doesn't want to talk about it? Tsk, then don't,' I said to myself.

But, I didn't know that Aivan can be socan sometimes. 'So can say something.'

We took the elevator and I didn't see what floor he pressed because I was just behind him.

About two and a half minutes have passed before the door opened and we went out.

I got surprised and flinched a little when the sky was exposed to me.


The beautiful and bright moon, as well as the twinkling stars.

I looked at Aivan because of this. "Rooftop?" And he just nodded.

He pointed to my left and I looked at what he pointed to.

My lips parted a little bit at what I saw.

A round table with a red tablecloth and two fancy chairs on each side. There are also rose petals around. Candles in the center of the table and everything that you will find on a romantic date.

I don't know how long I am staring at that table.


What's this for?

"Tristen's idea," he uttered later on.

When I looked at him, his right hand was outstretched to me, which made me blink.

What is this? I'm not sure what I'll do.

It also took me a few seconds before I accepted his hand.

Because of how he held my hand, I feel like a was princess going to her throne guided by a prince--- well, it's just that, a dangerous prince was the one holding me. Literally beauty and the beast.


"Thank you," I just said after Aivan pulled the chair for me and I sat down. He immediately sat down on the other chair, too.

Wait, that's a bit weird.
Actually it's really weird what's happening now.

"Let's eat?" he asked and I just nodded.

"Am I really dating a stranger?" I murmured.

The right question is, is this really a date or what?

We started eating with a soup. Is five course meal waiting?

While we were eating there was a melodious violin playing next to us. Even though I don't know the name of this cooked steak, I still ate it because it has a good aroma and it's really delicious, plus I was also hungry.

To be honest, I will admit. I felt cringe at what was happening.

Aivan is not my boyfriend so why he's doing this? I really feel awkward by this time right now. I just keep myself busy from eating. They serve delicious food, tho.


'Does he think I will fall inlove with him?' I slowly closed my eyes to that thought.

'Are you insane, Amy! Why would Aivan be interested in you?! You already said that he can get nothing special from you!' I kept this on my mind.

I just hope Aivan doesn’t notice that my mind is flying.

"I'm gonna tell you something later," Aivan told me after we ate.

"Why not now?" I wonder here.

"The moon is beautiful isn't it?" he just said and looked up at the sky. I was shocked by what he said.

'I hope what he meant is literal,' I said to myself.

I just also looked up to see the moon.

And it turned out he's right! What a beautiful moon tonight! It’s big and bright.

It's so beautiful to look at. It is also somewhat yellow in color. I also looked at the stars. They are very numerous and their sparkles are very beautiful. Luckily it is not too cloud. The sky is amazing tonight.

I don't know but they calm me down. I was still busy looking at the sky when Aivan spoke.

"Can we dance?" he suddenly asked me.

"Huh?" I just looked at him.

He just held out his hand. I swallowed first for I don't know the reason, too.
What's going on is getting weirder and weirder!

‘Come on, Amy. Wake up!' part of my brain shouted.

Is my slow mode on or maybe I just don't want to get disturb by staring at the sky?

"Can we?" he asked again.


"O-okay?" I just accepted his hand.

Why am I doing this anyway? Is it the effect of the beautiful sky that he can make me obey? Or is there something about him that even if you don't like what he says it's like he's hypnotizing you and you'll still do it?

Before I could even answer to my questions, he put my hands on his shoulders and I flinched a bit when he put his hands on my waist.

-Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing makes us feel alive


Aivan slowly danced me with the song Photograph by Ed Sheeran playing on a speaker. This calm song continues to play as Aivan calmly dances me, too.


Because we were just close to each other and he was taller than me, I could smell his aristocratuc masculine scent on his chest.

That smell that is really enticing and will stuck on your n--- wait, why do I think like this?

But also because of his mesmerizing smell, I felt that I got hypnotized and I just closed my eyes and didn't realize that I was already dancing along with him.


-So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans.


It seems like I just woke up suddenly and I just opened my eyes and then I just looked down.

Why is this man doing this? Is he really this sweet? What is his real intention? Does he think I'll fall for him?

Duhhh, he's the reason why my boyfriend died! It was as painful as my good father turned his back on us.

Or is this some sort of trick?

'Amy, you won't fall for him! You're just unprepared at what's happening! That's why you can't do nothing but go with the flow!' this is just what I keep to think.

But what if in the next things he will do, I will fall? Is that possible? But even if it's possible, I won't let myself fall for this jerk!

He just made my life so miserable and I hate myself for thinking the fact that I am here now with him and being manipulated by him! Dang!


Hearing you whisper through the phone
"Wait for me to come home"
