Chapter 39
TVS 10: In Danger
X A V I E R R E
After a happy fight with Fire, I felt better when I took him to the bench near us.
"Let's take a sit there." I seemed to be out of breath with him.
"Hey! It's good! I'm tired there." She exclaimed, her sweat dripping and chasing every breath. I should get some towel.
"Just a second." I didn't wait for him to answer and I stood up heading my way inside the souvenir shop, I'm pretty sure that there's a towel or something there.
"Please give me 10 of this." I said to the cashier and then paid for it. I also bought bottled water for her, I know she's thirsty. I went back to the place where Fire was and there I saw her, fanning myself with her hand.
"I think you need this." I said as I sat down, I wiped his sweat with myself. This is a sweet gesture for girls right? And I also prepared a surprise for her, you'll know later. I noticed Fire coming, what's her problem?
"A-It's me." She said and took from my hand the towel I was wiping with her sweat. Her face is also red, damn! Is she sick ?!
"A-Are you okay?" I'm worried question.
"..."
"You look so red Fire!"
"..."
"Damn! Are you sick?"
"..."
"Answer me!" Next I said but still I didn't get any response from her.
"I-I'm fine." Goodness! Thank you!
"I thought you were sick, you scared the hell out of me." I worriedly faced her. It's now time for my surprise for her, that's right because it's a bit dark around.
FLASHBACK ~
"Vishnyr." I said as I call him.
"Yes Xavierre? Is there anything you need?" He asked me directly. We're here in my office.
"Can you do me a favor?" Vishnyr's face shows the shock of what I said because I seldom ask for a favor, usually I do.
"What favor?"
"Please prepare a mini stage for me at Enchanted Kingdom."
"What kind of stage?"
"A mini concert stage. Please ask someone to do it inside. I'll take care of the expenses they can use, and keep it a secret."
"Alright, do I have to put musical instruments on it or band?" He asked and I nodded.
"Except for the guitar, I'll be the one that will play it. Thanks."
"By the way, what is that for?" He then asked.
"It's for someone who can rule the community with me sooner." His lips formed into "O" when I said that. I just smiled at him.
"After all these years, finally!" He teased, "I should meet her some other time." He added then chuckled.
"Now go away you asshole."
"Yes Mr. Lover boy hahaha." Vishnyr's laughter echoed inside my office as he left me.
I don t know if Fire will agree to date me. But I have this gut feeling that she will.
END OF FLASHBACK ~
F I R E
"Just wait a second again." And then Xavierre hurried away again. Haaay let it be!
"A-Are you okay?"
"You look so red Fire!"
"Damn! Are you sick?"
"Answer me!"
I keep hearing in my brain what Xavierre said earlier. He seemed to be so worried about me and when I remember what he did to wipe my sweat earlier? I don't know what I'm feeling right now because I feel like I'm being licked by the heat.
But how could it have happened that when we chased earlier, I was already bathing in sweat while he was there? There was no one, but also based on his body, he possesses the well-built toned muscles that are obvious in his clothes. Maybe it's enough to work out? You can also see the case of him so I shouldn't wonder why he doesn't sweat.
Where is Xavierre? By the way, it was late at night, I really enjoyed what we were doing earlier so I didn't realize that it was already dark.
"Waiting for your call,
call, I'm sick,
call, I'm angry
call, I'm desperate for your voice ... "
I suddenly looked at the habit where it suddenly lit up, and oooh there was a mini stage there, there were already a lot of people around it so I didn't know who was singing, though her voice was very familiar. And the nice thing is, the voice seems to be recorded.
"Listening to the song we used to sing
In the car, do you remember, Butterfly, Early summer,
It's playing on repeat
Just like when we would meet..Like when we would meet ~ "
I can only hear the screams of the women around the mini stage, maybe it's also a gimmick at the amusement park itself to attract customers?
"Kyaaaaaaah! The pogiiiiii!"
"You hot papahs! Please!"
"I'll take you home pleaaaase!"
Their screams are so loud, my eardrums might break! If I hadn't been waiting for Xavierre here, I would have left earlier.
"Before I continue this song ..." Oh? Why did they stop? The song was still beautiful. I'm still sitting quietly here on the bench, it's a good thing that my breathing is a bit normal than before when I was out of breath. I closed my eyes and felt the cold and fresh air.
"Ahhh the air in the province is delicious-" My speech was interrupted when the vocalist on stage spoke again, I don't have a pake because I don't know that-
"Let me call that beautiful lady sitting in that bench." I was thrown back in my seat because I could feel the sharp stares on me. I slowly opened my eyes as I noticed the silence around me.
I swallowed one after another when I confirmed my suspicion, all the women around the mini stage were staring at me sharply. But I didn t shake and went back to rest, what was their problem?
"Bring her here." In less than a few seconds I felt the touch on my arm and without any difficulty I was brought to the front of the mini stage.
"A-What! B-Let me go! I'm not the woman he's talking about!" I struggled while teaching the vocalist.
X-XAVIERRE ?!
"Why are you there? You're still holding the mic, you're still mixing!" He laughs as he approaches me, I am at the bottom of the mini stage. Don't tell me he's the k-singer before ?! Is that why he hasn't been here before?
He then patted my head and seated me in the chair positioned in the very center of the audience.
"Awww, sister girl's luck! I'm jealous huhuhu!"
"Kyeaaaah! I'm that laaaaang!"
I was speechless that moment ...
Everyone was staring at Xavierre and me. I felt ashamed so I went. He lifted my chin up and said, "Just sit here and listen."
I could do nothing but listen. He went up on stage after taking me to the chair. He held the mic again and just stared at me when he said, "This song is for the very special girl that I've met in my life." He said and then winked at me. Aba! You still have a twinkle ah! He's holding the guitar and then started to strum the strings of it.
"Waiting for your call, I'm sick
Call, I'm angry
Call, I'm desperate for your voice
Listening to the song we used to sing in the car
Do you remember, Butterfly, Early Summer
It's playing on repeat
Just like when we would meet, like when we would meet ~ "
When he started to sing, every person in that place especially me in the center, we all fell silent and listened intently to him.
I felt a strange feeling that I've never known as he stare at me while singing. It feels like there are butterflies flying inside my stomach.
"I was born to tell you I love you,
And I am torn to do what I have to,
To make you mine
Stay with me tonight ~ "
Every word he utters is full of sincerity, and I feel that. He's singing from his heart and his stare? Ever since he started singing, he hasn't taken his gaze away from my eyes. It's as if he's saying "It's for you so listen."
"Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh
I am feeling so ambitious, you and me, flesh to flesh
'Cause every breath that you will take
While you are sitting next to me
Will bring life into my deepest hopes
What's your fantasy?
What's your, what's your, what's your, what's your ~ "
I thought nothing else and just listened, as time went on, my heart beats really fast. This is no longer normal. I have no idea on what's happening to me, but one thing's for sure ..
... I'm thankful that I met Xavierre and he's on my side.
"I was born to tell you I love you,
And I am torn to do what I have to,
To make you mine
Stay with me tonight
And I'm tired of being all alone,
And this solitary moment
Makes me want to come back home
And I'm tired of being all alone,
And this solitary moment
Makes me want to come back home
And I'm tired of being all alone,
And this solitary moment
Makes me want to come back home
And I'm tired of being all alone,
And this solitary moment
Makes me want to come back home
I was born to tell you I love you
And I am torn to do what I have to,
And I was born to tell you I love you,
And I am torn to do what I have to,
To make you mine
Stay with me tonight ~ "
Exactly when Xavierre stopped from singing a sudden strange feeling I felt. That feeling sent me chills in my spine. It seems that vampires are scattered near this area. I don't even pay attention to my surroundings, I need to warn Xavierre, he already knew that I'm a slayer so he is aware that I kill vampires. He's aware of their existence. And tonight, I know that we are in danger.
A grave danger.
Possibly they had been watching us before and only now I felt it. No! They're already there, there's a resto! Shit! This is bad! Really really bad! When I glanced at Xavierre, it seemed restless and we seemed to feel the same way.
Incapable...
'Could it be possible that Xavierre is ...'
To be continued...
