Real Me Might Hurt You

Lander's POV

"Deal" Her voice was music to my ears, I liked it so much.

I stared and smiled at her, "Come with me." Leading the way up to the center table. I was holding her other hand, accompanying her.

I offered her a seat and I signaled the bartender for some wine and sat on the chair.

"This is romantic." She smirked at me and waited for my reaction. She looked vulnerable and honest so I couldn't help and look away because we are so different, she's much stronger than me.

"I'm sorry I couldn't be myself when I'm with you. Not for now." I said in my mind while looking at her.

I quickly looked away when she got me.

"What is it? Is something wrong? You look pale, Mister President." I glance at her because she called me formally. I mean to get off this vibe I do think that we should start calling each other by name.

She laughed.

"Why?" I said, being curious.

"Are you startled because I still call you that way?" Her voice sounded amazing and I was angry.

"You know how to annoy people huh?" I was annoyed but I hated how I liked it when she laughed. I just couldn't understand myself.

There's one thing I am sure of,

I don't like her.

She's not my type. I know I lied but, what's different? I lied a lot of times.

I just picked her because she is a perfect fit for the role. Why? because she had a terrible past.

if she's wise, then maybe now she already knew what I meant. if she's dumb, she might think I'm really into her. I don't know where she is to those two.

Neither of those two is what I want.

I just wanted her to be a dreamer so no one would make a mistake. If that's possible.

"Let's just eat." I forced a smile and started eating the steak that was served.

She looked at me, trying to understand my action, as she could see through me. Her eyes were glowing just every time I look at it. She couldn't hide those innocent thoughts and honestly, I am uncomfortable with it. But she was the first person who made me feel this way, that you can't hide your real intentions.

"Who cooked the steaks?" I was in the middle of a daydream when she asked me, so I was a little surprised.

"HAHAHA, what's wrong?" She stopped eating and wiped her mouth.

"It was my chef, I'm sorry." In a sincere and convincing tone.

"I want him to cook for me sometime." I nodded. "I'll tell him. What do you want for a menu?" A casual talk like this is my thing.

"Hmmm, would he serve you on the table?"

O-O

I didn't get what she meant or, "Huh?"

"Huh?" She mimicked me.

***Silence***

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!, hey I'm just kidding! Don't take it seriously. You really didn't get it huh?" She couldn't stop laughing and went for her breath.

I wave my head thinking she's a silly girl and likes to express herself so much. "Cute," I mumbled those words subconsciously and she stopped laughing.

Damn, why did I say it?

I acted naturally and chuckled so it would look normal for me.

"What? stop teasing me." She looked mad and it makes me wanna laugh more.

"Tssss, you like teasing others but you are easily pissed." I laughed for more. "Okay, Let's finish eating and go somewhere." I added.

We started eating again but she still stares at me as if I killed her pet. So there were times that I laugh. This girl is pretty funny.

As we finished eating, I took her hand and we walked together towards the other side.

There were flower petals everywhere that I have let my assistants put there.

Her eyes gloomed as she walks through those petals, she's making it again, that look. Her eyes were filled with excitement and joy, sometimes she even jumps a little to avoid those beautiful petals.

"I knew you'd like it." I stopped her, still holding her hand and pressing it.

She smiled like it was a flattering moment to her. "You know, we just couldn't end this day with a smile."

She came towards me and kissed me on the cheeks.

I was stunned. Not just her eyes were honest, but also her actions were pure.

Not all girls have this personality. And we, men, look for this.

This is kind of rare.

"I'm going to cover your eyes this time," I said.

"So you have another surprise for me?" I nodded.

She quickly turns her back for me to cover her eyes.

"What do you think this is?" I asked.

"Hmmm, it may be a special place you always go to?" Her voice was light like it's free from any violence.

"Well, you can think of that way. But for me, this would be my favorite place because I brought you there." Yes, I made a line!

"Hey, stop it you're blushing me HAHAHA!"

"TADAAAA! Do you like it?" I didn't get a response from her, but her face was telling it all. Her mouth formed an 'O' and her eyes were looking everywhere as if she got lost in a paradise.

"This is something Lander. Wow, what do you call this place? Heaven?"

"It's my paradise. This place carries my burdens. This is a good place to keep your peace of mind. You can go here anytime."

I assured her.

Eve's POV

It was mesmerizing. The place was lively nature. It was green everywhere. It's not just green, but it was a healthy green. I liked the way how his garden was different from any other gardens I've seen. This time it looks like it was from a fairy tale.

Flowers we're so bright and colorful. Overall, the place was vibrant.

I know we are fast but, we just go with the flow and show our real feelings. I think this one will work well but I'll still control myself if ever.

"Do you think we get along?" I asked.

"Yes, that's what we do now. We are going to work together and we must know each other well." I breathed heavily.

"So what if we catch feelings?" I shouldn't have asked that.

He looked at me and think of what to say.

"That's something we.... don't know." He whispered those last words. "Let's not think of those." He added.

"I gotta go home." I looked disappointed.

"Already? Wait here let me call my guards, and I'm sorry, I couldn't go back with you because I have something to do here so I'll accompany you with someone so close to me if that's okay." He explained.

"It's fine, Lander. You don't have to accompany me with someone, besides, I'm just going to rest during the flight." I made sure that sounded honest.

He nodded. "You're right you should sleep. Let's go."

He accompanied me up to his plane and made sure my things were all there. He's such a nice guy, but I think he's not that nice if we get married.

I sleep during the flight and as soon as I reached home, I bounced my body on the bed.
