A date with him (Part Three)

Shameless! I want to... kill him! This guy has no shame whatsoever! Not only did he kissed me in public but dared to teased me too!

Aisha swallowed the chewed pancake, but its sweetness didn't calm her raging heart. While Aeron was smiling merrily at her, Aisha was glaring daggers at him.

And since they are sitting in the center, they would naturally attract many attention of the people, not to mention that both of them are handsome and beautiful, too eye-catching for the locals.

"Oh my, this tourists are really bold!"

"The girl is embarrassed, so cute!"

"The man is so handsome, such a pity he now has a girlfriend."

"Even if he didn't have one, will he give you a second look?"

"Don't be too harsh, she's just dreaming an impossible dream."

"So I can't dream now? Since when did dreaming become a taboo?"

"Sighs, the girl is too beautiful too. Their offspring will definitely be gorgeous too!"

"The world is so unfair, why can't I have a sweet man like him?"

"Here's the mirror, it has the answer to your question."

"..."

Aisha naturally heard what their saying, and was so embarrassed that she wish for the ground to have a hole to sink into. She pursed her lips and leans in Aeron's hard chest to cover her face.

Aeron was amused at her, his eyes gentle as he stroke her back, and then he looks at the people and smile sheepishly. "Sorry, my wife is easily shy, so..." He raised his index finger to his mouth and the people immediately understood what he meant.

Of course, it didn't stop the people to not gossip at them but only in their mind.

Ah, wife! He said wife! They are now married!? Gosh, they are so... so... what a match made in heaven!

Hearing Aeron calling her "wife", Aisha couldn't deny the happiness in her heart. Her stomach feels like she's having collywobbles, specifically like there are butterflies flying around inside of it. The endearment feels so cheesy and sweet at the same time but Aisha would never admit it to him.

Raising her head a little bit, Aisha bit Aeron shoulder. He almost winced at the sudden pain and in return, he give her lap a gentle smack.

"Stop biting, we're in a public, have some shame. I'll let you bite me later when we're alone." He whispers in her ear.

When Aisha heard what he said, she almost explode with her raging fury. What shame!? He was the one who had no shame at all! Shameless! Thick-faced bàstard!

Aisha pushed him, her face is still burning, not because of embarrassment but because of her anger.

Everyone are looking at them, but Aisha decided to ignore their stares. So what? They can stare at her all they want! It has nothing to do with her at all. Gaining her composure, Aisha bite into the spicy chicken wings.

Spicy! Aisha's eyes shone in delight. She always preferred spicy foods, she didn't know why but she love the feeling of burning sensation in her mouth.

Aeron smile in a helpless manner as he look at her eat merrily. She was reminded of the "her" in the past, it's such a pity that she lost her shine and wonderful smile but even if the Aisha now is completely different from the Aisha he once fell in love with, he couldn't help but to love her more and more.

So what if she doesn't smile that often? He can always make her smile again. So what if she lost her enthusiasm and colors in her world? He can bring joy and color to her now dull world. So what if she had changed? His love for her will never wither.

Aisha saw that he wasn't eating and only staring at her with affectionate gaze. She was feeling overwhelmed at his affection at her, and so she ask, "Aren't you going to eat?" She raised her brow at him. If he continue being like this, she's afraid that she can't control herself but to fall for him.

She's not dense, nor she is stupid. She clearly knows that Aeron is attracted to her but she didn't know how to handle this situation. Also, she was confused at her own feelings too.

She's always repulsive towards everyone, there are only a few who is "close" to her, but then most of them betrayed her, hurt her, and leave her. She had built a strong layer of armor to protect herself, rejecting others who wants to creep in her heart. It had stayed that way for many years that she already didn't know how to remove her armor.

But then, Aeron made her feel. He made her feel like... a human. Anger, loneliness, disappointment, pain, betrayal, and fear, it was those feeling who accompanied her as she grows up, but when she's with Aeron, he made her feel things that was long forgotten by her, that it become foreign feelings.

He was irritating most of the times, but she enjoyed his teasing. He is cunning but he cared deeply for her. He comforts her when she's sad, he made her smile a lot of times. She feels happy, and loved.

Before, she didn't know what these feelings are, but now she knew. And because she knows what these feelings are now, she can start analyzing what she feels for him.

But did she really need to analyze it?

Isn't she already... falling in love with him?
