His Nyx

AXEL

"Are you okay, An?" Gina.

"One down, Gi." I smiled devilishly.

"You're scaring me, An! I don't like how you're acting." The fear is drawn in Gina's face.

This is very reason why I can't confess the truth to her. She only knows the few parts, how much if narrated every detail, she might run away from me.

"What??? I just put him under drugs. I didn't do more than that. What the hell are you so afraid of?" I said nonchalantly.

"What if he's overdosed or run down by a car or messed by dangerous people outside and he can't fight back 'cause he's high? What do you call yourself, then?!" I looked at her with irritation.

"It's his fault." I said and immediately left the house.

Damn it, Georgina! I thought I can rest assure if it's with you.

I went to the coffee shop where I used to work and I saw Grey.

"Hey." I sat on the stool and rested my face on my palms.

He looked back and smiled at me.

"Spill it, it's in the house." This guy is such a player.

"The usual." He then proceed to make my order.

It is banana milk frappe at strawberry donut at chocolate cake.

"Here." Placed it in front of me.

"Still have those baby buds, Anylou Nyx Cybele." Grey out cream on the tip of my nose.

I aggressively wipe my nose and raise my middle finger. He grabbed my hand and put it down then he snickered.

"You know I hate that." I said.

"What? - Ah, your name Anyloue Nyx Cybele." Grey said it without looking at me but I know he is waiting for my reaction, he can see it in his peripheral view.

Maybe I should bang Gina and Grey's head together, always making fun of my name.

I don't like it. It always reminds me of my family. And I, I simply don't like that feeling because in my head the things that had happened is always playing. Like a damn broken cd player.

"Are you free later?" Grey said after a long silence between us.

"Hm." I answered.

"I'll come and pick you up by 8:30. Wear your most comfortable outfit." He said and still not looking at me.

"To where?" I asked while taking a sip from my drink.

"Just. To refresh your mind, hm?" He looked back to me for just a second and his sweet smile flashes into my eye.

Ugh, I just felt fed up with all the sweet food right in front of me plus his smile.

Lihim naman akong napangiti.

But then, it secretly made me smile.

This man's smile fades away my pain and miseries.

There is no need to lie to myself, I do like Grey.

What I feel might or might not affect my plans but it surely shake me from time to time.

But damn, in one smile, in one request, in one touch, it erases all my bad thoughts.

He is making me his good girl.
