CHAPTER 19

FALCON'S SITTING ROOM....

Falcon was seated at his couch as he went through some housing documents.

"Boss, I think you need to take a look at this" Secretary Park uttered placing his tablet on the table in front of Falcon.

Falcon stole glances of his phone anxiously.

"Boss, is everything okay? You've been staring at your cellphone for the whole day. Are you expecting an important call?" He asked and Falcon looked at him in shock.

"Not at all" Falcon lied and fixed his eyes on the tablet but his couldn't focus.

He was distracted as he waited for Alina's reply impatiently.

"Secretary Park, what does it mean when a girl doesn't reply to your text but she has read it? It's nothing negative right?" Falcon asked out of the blue and his secretary adjusted his suit confidently.

"Of course it's something negative. It sometimes mean, she doesn't want to lead you on or she doesn't find you attractive or she just wants you to get lost but why do you ask boss? Did any girl do that to you? What the nerve she's got to snub my boss" Secretary Park half yelled and Falcon laughed.

"Don't over react, it's nothing. I just don't get it why she still haven't dropped me a single text message. It's not like I asked her a difficult question or anything" Falcon said anxiously.

"Boss, are you talking about Mr Sam's daughter? The one who stole your heart at first sight?" He asked and Falcon laughed lightly.

"Secretary Park, you seem to notice every little detail of my life. That's impressive, double bonus for you this month. Anyways, I don't think it's time I crown it stealing my heart because I haven't made any move on her and I can't force her to be mine. I can only try to make her mine" Falcon said softly.

"You must really like her. You've never made such a statement before. You always said, what's yours will always be yours"

"That's when it comes to business. I can't joke around when so many people out there are being competitive, I've never had the history of failure but this time it's different because we're dealing with my heart here and I'm way too careful to get my heart broken without even trying. Excuse me, I will give her dad a call" Falcon said and stood up from the couch. He tied his bathrobe properly then picked up his phone.

He placed a call across to Sam.

"Hello, Mr Sam, it's me Falcon" Falcon said over the phone.

"Greetings landlord but is everything okay? You've never called me this late at night" Sam pointed out.

"I'm sorry for disturbing your evening sir but I just couldn't wait for tomorrow before I delivered my message" Falcon said nervously.

"Please go ahead landlord, I'm all ears"

"I will be leaving Seoul in a week or two and I will love to get an handmade suit for my trip. Is there any possible way for me to get it?" Falcon asked.

"Of course landlord, you can come to the boutique tomorrow so I can take your measurements. I will get it ready for you before time" Sam said with a smile.

"Thank you so much. I've always loved the clothes from your boutique. Mr Sam, you've got a good taste in things. Since that's settled then I will meet up with you tomorrow"

"Yes landlord. Thank you for always patronising me. Good night landlord" Sam said politely.

"Good night" Falcon said and hung up.

Immediately after the call he exhaled deeply. Secretary Park stared at him with a flabbergasted look on his face.

"What's that look for?" Falcon asked as he walked to him.

"That was so unprofessional boss. You've never felt this nervous when talking to your tenants and you seem to have changed your way of speaking to Mr Sam. Are you practicing to be a good boyfriend to her father?" Secretary Park asked out the blue and Falcon looked away.

"It's nothing like that. I just wish to patronise him because his clothes and products are unique. It's a pity he doesn't want to open up a franchise" Falcon said and his secretary shook his head.

"Boss did you get the answer you were looking for?"

"What answer?"

"It's obvious you wanted to ask of his daughter but you had no courage to" secretary Park said.

"I know what I'm doing okay. I can't just go straight up to her father and ask of her. That's like going up to him and telling him, I've got interest in his daughter. That's old-fashioned, I will handle it my way" Falcon said as lay down on the couch.

"This is so uncomfortable" Falcon complained as he turned around on the couch.

"Secretary Park, I think we should call it a day. You've done well today, let's continue this meeting tomorrow. I'm too tired to even think straight" Falcon said as he sat up and secretary Park stared at him suspiciously.

"Don't give me that look. Pack up your things quickly" Falcon said and helped him pack the documents and papers on the table into his bag.

He pushed secretary Park to the door.

"Boss, can I say one last thing to you before I leave?"

"Of course, go ahead"

"Can't I spend the night here with you? It feels like you're going to call her tonight and I will die of curiosity if I don't witness the whole scene" secretary Park said with his palms together.

"How did I manage to get myself a nosy secretary like yourself? No way, it's my privacy so let me handle it on my own. Good night" Falcon said and pushed secretary Park out of the door and shut the door.

He walked back to the couch and picked up his phone, he placed a call across Alina.

NOLAN'S APARTMENT....

Nolan broke away after the kiss staring at Alina with great passion.

"You thought I wouldn't dare?" Nolan asked with a beautiful smile on his lips.

Alina was still in shock but his statement made her so nervous that she had a hiccup.

"Wha...t" Alina hiccuped as she took a few steps backwards.

"I should get you some water" Nolan said and quickly ran to the fridge.

Alina's phone started ringing. She brought it out of her pocket.

"It's the landlord" She uttered before taking the call.

"Hello, Alina speaking" Alina said politely and she noticed the hiccup stopped.

"Hi Alina. You must be quite busy, I didn't get a reply from you. I was worried maybe someone stole your cellphone" Falcon chipped in and she smiled.

"It's nothing like that landlord. Who would steal my phone? I'm not that careless when it comes to gadgets"

"Well, I'm glad you're fine"

"Sorry I couldn't reply you yesterday. I wanted to but lost track of time and it skipped my mind to give you a reply. I'm sorry" Alina said sincerely and Falcon smiled.

"I asked if you're free tomorrow because I just want to hang out with you and become friends with you" Falcon said and Alina kept quiet.

"Why are you suddenly so quiet? I'm sorry if I said anything wrong" Falcon apologized immediately.

"Please don't apologize. Of course I will love to but I don't think I will be free tomorrow, I was going through my schedule in my head and that's why I was quiet. How about a day after tomorrow?" Alina asked slowly.

"Of course, any day is fine with me" Falcon said excitedly and Nolan appeared in front of Alina.

Alina stared at Nolan's lips as he licked his lower lips seductively without even knowing.

"I.. wi.." Alina tried to utter a word but the hiccup started again.

"Alina are you okay?" Falcon asked concerned and Alina hiccuped loudly.

"You should take some water. That will relieve it, talk to you tomorrow. Good night Alina" Falcon said slowly.

"Go..od night..." Alina hiccuped.

"Sorry. I will hung up now so get yourself a glass of water okay" Falcon said worriedly then hung up.

Nolan walked closer to her. Alina's heartbeat raced so fast like she ran some sort of marathon.

"Stop!" Alina gasped stopping Nolan from coming any closer with her hand.

"Alina are you okay? I brought you water. Have some" Nolan said calmly and she grabbed the glass of water from him and gulped it down quickly.

"I feel much better now. Come with me" Alina said then went to the sitting room.

She sat down and exhaled sharply.

"Nolan, it's risky. So risky" Alina uttered holding her head as she tried to covered her face that was blushing hard.

"What's risky?" Nolan asked as he sat on the same couch as her and she changed seat.

"Being alone with you is risky. My heart can't take it" Alina muttered out swiftly without even blinking.

"But you can't go home now. It's late already and I need to keep an eye on you so you don't collapse again" Nolan said as he had a glance at his wristwatch.

"Nolan, I might sound crazy talking about this but I'm quite the sensitive type so I don't take things lightly"

"Go straight to the point. What are you trying to say Alina?" Nolan asked curiously.

"About the noodles fight..." Alina uttered slowly and she felt even more hot.

"What happened?"

"Did you realise, we had a physical contact with our lips" Alina screamed covering her face with her palm.

"Should I call it a kiss or a peck or nothing?" Nolan teased as he noticed Alina was so shy.

"How can you say the word out like that? Don't you feel embarrassed? It's not like either of us planned for it" Alina said still covering her face.

"Alina, things like that aren't planned. It just happens and that's it so don't feel embarrassed okay. It's nothing" Nolan said softly.

"How can you call that nothing when it's actually my first kiss?" Alina mumbled to herself sadly but Nolan heard what she just said.

He stood up from the couch and went over to Alina. He bent down in front of Alina and removed her palms from her face.

"Alina look at me, are you sad you had your first kiss with me?" Nolan asked slowly looking straight into her eyes but she tried to look away, he held her chin gently.

"It's not like I'm sad, I just didn't expect my first to be like that" Alina said slowly with her face down.

"It's fine just don't let it get to you. You might still have your first kiss with the person you fall in love with it. Since it might be your first time kissing that person then it's your first" Nolan explained softly and Alina smiled.

And that person might be me. Nolan said in his head staring at her.

"You're right about that Nolan but since we're done talking about that. Were you being serious when you said I can come stay here for a few days?" Alina asked curiously and he nodded.

"I don't joke around or go back from my words and you shook hands with me so what made you think I wasn't being serious?" Nolan asked.

"I just thought you.." She couldn't complete her statement when Nolan placed his finger on her lips.

"Shush! It's a sealed deal so don't have doubts. You can bring your things over tomorrow. It's getting late so go wash up" Nolan said with a half smile as he stood up and Alina followed suit.

"Where's your bathroom?" Alina asked looking around.

"Come with me" Nolan said and lead the way to the bathroom.

"I've got new towels at the drawer so pick any, they're all new" Nolan said and she smiled before going into the bathroom.

Minutes later....

Alina was laying on the bed in the other room. When Nolan walked in.

"Is it comfortable?"

"Of course it is, it feels like my bed at home"

"That's good. Have some rest" Nolan said and covered her with the duvet properly. He walked to the door and pursed.

"Alina, I'm sorry for raising my voice at you at the restaurant. I lost it for a minute, I'm sorry" Nolan apologized and Alina ran out of the bed, ran into Nolan's embrace.

"Thank you Nolan for helping me recover. You might not notice but I did. Thank you" Alina said softly as she hugged him tight.

Nolan shut his eyes as he tried so hard to control himself from reciprocating the hug.

"You're not making it any easier for me, Alina" Nolan uttered slowly.

I want to reciprocate the hug so badly but I should take things slowly. I can't help it but feel butterflies for her. I think I'm in love with Alina. Nolan said in his head and his eyes widened in shock as he realised he just admitted to his feelings.
