Chapter 53 Chapter 53 - Mr. Love

"Good day to everyone watching Love Hotline!" greetings of the one on the other line.
Suddenly, my heartbeat quickened.
"So Mr. Love, what do you plan to say to our Chums. And are you planning to introduce yourself today?" Kisses asked.
"I just want to tell Izha that Luigi is not Eve's boyfriend. And to all the fans of Eve Lopez, yes, she already has a boyfriend!" They installed a voice changer on the other line.
"If that so, are you her boyfriend?" Kisses glanced at me.
Director Luis sent me back to my place.
"Yeah!" The bold answer of the one on the other line.
"You are so mysterious. How can Izha believe that Luigi is dating you if you are using a voice changer? Then it is easy to confirm on the phone that yes, you are Eve's boyfriend." she was teasing again.
Who did they request to call and make a scene? I already confirmed on national television that I do not have a relationship with Luigi. My statement could be enough for the netizens to believe.
"Oh! Wait, so, Mr. Love is willing to show up to all of us. He is requesting a video call!" When Kisses read the dialogue.
I was even more uncomfortable. Who will show up on the video call? For sure, it is not Nikolai!
I looked at Ella. He just does the thumbs up.
"Hi everyone!" the person who appeared on the screen.
"Oh! Nikolai?" Kisses said abruptly.
My eyes widened.
My knees trembled.
"We are about to talk to Mr. Love. Director Luis made a mistake!" Said Kisses.
"It was not a mistake. I am Mr. Love. And for the first time on national television, I would like to tell you all guys that I am the boyfriend of Eve Lopez!" Nikolai announced.
Why is he so handsome on the screen?
"What? It is a prank, right? Mr. Nikolai La Marcus is our CEO here at TvN8 Station.
What a gentleman gesture! You are defending Eve Lopez!" Kisses was surprised.
"You just said, I am the CEO. Why would I tell an untruth?
I am telling the truth about Eve's relationship stats. And to cut all rumors about her being a single mom, I am the biological father of our child." I was even more startled by what Nikolai said successively.
Director Luis signaled for me to straighten up and the camera will be focused on me.
I put up with a profound whiff.
"Hi, love!" Nicks abruptly greeted me when the camera showed me.
Oh my gosh! Is this happening for real?
He admitted to the whole Philippines and the whole world that I am his girlfriend?
Ms. Beth gestured that I should answer.
"He-hello!" I can only say.
Then Ms. Beth showed me my next dialogue.
"Wew! Perhaps, you all shuddered and were surprised! I am shivering too! To the fans, this time, I hope you will let Luigi live quietly." I read my dialogue.
"Is it publicity?" begged Kisses.
"This is not fake news nor publicity! And to prove it... wait!" Then Nicks disappeared from the screen.
The people on the set shouted.
"Iiihhhh..." they cheered.
I looked in the direction they were looking. Nicks handed me a bouquet of flowers.
"I am here to confirm it!" At once Nicks announced.
"We are officially in a relationship and it is not complicated!" Nicks added.
And the shoot ended.
"Congratulations, Friend!" Lara greeted me.
"The NicksEve love team is thrilling!" Sittie giggled.
I am wiggling but smiling. My knees are still twitching.
"Love, maybe you will not worry anymore. Particularly about Luigi and Izha." Nicks mumbled.
"Why did you do that? I can just tell them I do not have a boyfriend. People may even harass you.
I will be even more troubled. Or perhaps, the netizens will get a crush on you because you showed your face on national television." I preached to him.
"I will not allow you to say you do not have a boyfriend. I know who is your boyfriend and your boyfriend is proud of you!
They cannot bother me. Don't you remember, I am the CEO?
All I want is your peace." And he clasped my arm.
"Nickolai, tell me these are lies!" Kisses began to move toward us.
"What? Why should I?" He replied with a shrug.
"It is impossible that Eve's child is your daughter. And it is more absurd that you are her boyfriend!" she said angrily.
"Why is it impossible? If you wish to see a DNA test result, I will do it as soon as possible!
Do you want proof that we are officially in a relationship?" Nicks implored.
He did not wait for Kisses to answer and he suddenly claimed my lips.
Oh my Gosh! It is like I am going to swoon!
He also kissed me for a few seconds in front of Kisses and the people here on the set of Love Hotline!
They all fluttered except for Kisses.
"Nicks!" I scolded him.
"Happy now?" He asked Kisses.
And abruptly Kisses vacated the set.
"You are drastic on her! And this is embarrassing." my litany.
"She wants proof, right? She is spreading rumors about you. So at least now, she knows the truth. And all of them, they know I can do it for the one I love." He explained.
It is just gladdening that this man is so courageous! He does not care what would others say about the situation.
He is too proud to tell the world how he feels. And I cannot find the perfect word to describe how I feel right now.
But I felt sorry for Kisses because I knew she was fried in her oil. She probably did not really think this would come about.
"Love, are you sure I am going to stay at your house?" I was curious when we were on the way going home.
"Of course! Everyone already knows our status. Also, I do not mind what anyone else says. Nicka would be the happiest." he grabbed my hand as he drove.
I picked up my phone and browsed.
"Wow!" I exclaimed.
"Why?" Nicks begged.
"Mr. Love is viral! It is only been a few hours since the Love Hotline segment aired but you seven hundred thousand views right away.
They said,
"Seriously, Mr. Love, you are so handsome. Sorry Eve, I am a fan of yours but I got a crush on the CEO."
Here is another one, "I also want a child from Mr. Love."
"What a wonderful couple. I am pretty sure your daughter looks lovely".
Why did you show up to them? You are an instant celebrity!" I grunted.
"I cannot do anything about it. I am handsome, aren't I?" He said with a grin.
"You are not just handsome! You are so handsome! More and more people will like you!" I struck out my arms.
"You are the only one I love! Then I just did it so they would stop gossiping about you.
And to make Luigi happy. Most of all, so that no one will get a chance to woo you." He glanced at me.
It is delightful! I hope people would just think about love in the world for our life to be fairer.
We arrived at the mansion. Nicks parked his car. I was about to go down when he brandished my hand.
"Love?" I frowned.
"We cannot have a moment later because Nicka is next to us," he murmured.
"Then?" I asked again.
"Make love with me!" He proclaimed.
"Here?" I smiled.
He bobbed. He pressed the remote of the garage's gate to lower it. No one can see us inside.
There, he smooches my lips. And again we shared a tasteful moment.
A battle that we will both win. A thrilling eternity that I will cherish forever.
"I love you!" He muttered.
"I love you too!" My sweet answer.
My life is close to perfection! I have nothing more to ask for.
We entered the mansion hand in hand as if nothing had happened. But both have a smile on their lips.
This man makes me smile. And yes, I make him smile too.
I found a real family in them. Now I have someone to call Mom again. I have a Dad who gives me support and advice.
I have a child that gives me strength. I have a man who gives me so much of him.
That is elysium!
In the room...
"Love, about your Dad. Haven't you looking for him?" Nicks implored.
Nicka was already asleep. Nicks and I sat side by side as I read comments on what he did earlier.
"I tried, several times! But Mama is too secretive. She was even terrible than me.
I do not know my father's name." I responded.
"Because you inherited it from Mama. If you only knew his name, I would look for him." He let out.
"It is not the case. I have no idea about my father. I do not know what he looks like.
Also, I feel like I have a father because of Daddy Ramon." I glanced at him.
"Thanks for being here. My parents became pleased. They became stronger because of you and Nicka." He stroked my chin.
I stopped looking for my father for a long time.
I also do not know where to start and how to do it.
I am complete now!
If he chose to leave me and my Mom, perhaps, he also has a subtle reason for doing that.
