Ausha's POV

"Ausha, do you want to eat with us?" asked Vanessa, my co-worker. She was currently organizing the bag and some of her things, I turned to my desk which had a lot of papers piled up.

"Pass me first Vanessa, I'll just finish this, later I'll eat too," I replied to her, she nodded.

"Alright, Jerry and Harley will go first, bye see you later," she said and waved to me, I waved to her too.

I sighed, this is my first day so I shouldn't be lazy, I need to finish what Mr. Alcantara. I smelled the familiar perfume that I knew, who was using it. But I didn't pay attention to it because I was busy. It's impossible for him to be here, right?

"Hmm, My Queen Ausha, don't waste time when it comes to food," said a familiar voice, deep but always pleasant to listen to. I looked up and saw him on my office table. So what I smelled was right, his perfume... and when was he there?

"T-Thyro? W-What are you doing here? Maybe someone will see you, what do they think," I said and looked around, luckily it was lunch break and my officemates weren't there. He grinned.

"So? Let them think what they think, I don't care, I'm here to check on you, we should eat lunch, together My Shasha, I don't want you to go hungry, your work can wait, right? right?" he asked and sat at my desk.

"Of course—" he cut my sentence.

"No buts, come with me, I want to eat lunch with you, don't worry no one will see us," he added. I frowned.

"What do you mean by that? No one can see us?" I asked confused.

"Just come with me, My Shasha," he said while smiling from ear to ear.

I didn't do anything, because my stomach was already boiling. We boarded the VIP Elevator, it's not the one that Lance and I rode earlier, it's like a secret elevator, you won't notice it right away, I thought at first it was just a book shelf elevator.

After we boarded, Thyro quickly pressed the ground floor and grabbed me with a burning kiss, I was very close to his shoulder because both my knees were weak due to the nervousness, and the sensation that gradually engulfed me.

"T-Thyro... someone might c-come in and see us," I said softly in the middle of our kiss.

"No one dares to enter my own elevator, no one knows this damnit elevator except us, so don't care about that," he said while biting my lower lips.

I let myself respond to his kisses, his kisses I look for and I like, are full of care, passion and desire, and I love it the way he kisses me, it's kinda addictive. His lips left mine and it went to my jaw, I grabbed his hair and looked up to give his lips more freedom to kiss every part of my skin that his soft lips could touch.

*sigh*

I opened my eyes when the elevator rang, we were so engrossed in what we were doing that we didn't realize we were inside the elevator.

"Damnit, wrong timing," I heard Thyro murmur. I fixed myself with my hair slightly messy as well as my blouse.

"Let's go Ausha, maybe the food will get cold..." he uttered and held my hand and pulled me.

I frowned. "You probably didn't plan this, did you?" I asked him as we crossed the parking lot. He stared at me andgrinned.

"Of course yes, I'm not going here just because I want to, I come here cause I want to be with you and to see My Shasha, you're complete my day and also to eat lunch with you," he explained while looking at my eyes. I couldn't stop myself from smiling at what he said.

"Really? Maybe you're just kidding me, huh?" I joked. He chuckled and kissed my cheek.

"I'm not gonna lie to you, My Ausha what I said is true, cross my heart this is only for you," he added.

"Why did you kiss my cheek? If someone saw us, it would spread, Thyro! Lance, we'll be mad at me, and our lives will be a mess," I argued to him. He let out a soft laugh.

"It's better, I won't have any trouble owning you and snatching you from my playboy cousin, Lance is asshole and pain in my ass." I just noticed what he was wearing, he was wearing a business suit, a black slacks, a black coat, white long sleeves and black shoes, his hair was still wet and it was a bit messy.

He opened the door of his car, it's a black BMW, I immediately fastened the seatbelt and he immediately got in and also fastened the seatbelt and quickly drove the car away from the company.

"Where exactly are we going to have lunch Thyro? Don't be too far from the company because I have to be back on time," I broke the silence. He looked at me and back to the road.

"What time is your job in the afternoon?" he asked. I stared at my waist watch.

"1:30 p.m."

"And what time is it?" he asked once again.

"12:05 p.m.," I replied.

"Tsk, don't mind the time, when you're with me you'll forget the time because I want your attention only on me okay." That's not a question it's a statement.

I just nodded in response, after a while we arrived at a high and hidden place, he stopped the car, he quickly got out and opened the door for me.

"Be careful," he said and helped me down, when I got down properly I was amazed at the beauty of my place where we were.

"Where is this place exactly?" none of my own question. Are we now on the precipice?

But this is not my cliff where you can kill yourself, this is my cliff where you can see the whole Tagaytay city, the ambiance of the place is relaxing, the weather is breezy and clear, the place is surrounded by trees and all the birds are chirping and you can hear the rustling of leaves, this place is very beautiful and the weather is beautiful and sunny.

Thyro held my waist and pulled me, we're near the end of the cliff but I'm not afraid because I know he won't leave me, from here I can see the small houses and buildings in the city, he's only small from here but it's really big . He hugged me from behind and put his face on my shoulder.

"I found this place accidentally," Thyro whispered.

I was going to ask him, I turned to him, but it looks like I did the wrong thing because our lips are almost touching, I can't take my eyes off his blue eyes that continue to captivate me, his eyes are drowning me as if he was taking me to another world that only we know. I was about to speak when his lips covered mine, he kissed me in 5 seconds but there was a strange feeling, he kissed me full of love.

"Let's eat My Shasha, I might not be able to control myself and I will do it to you for lunch," he said while chuckling.

My eyes widened and I hit him on the arm, "You're prevert now Thyro? Stop! Let's eat, I have work to do," I snorted.

He laughed. There was a tree in the middle of the wide part of the area and our lunch was lying there, I just shook my head. He really prepared it. My favorite foods are here. All the food was placed on a cloth, we sat next to each other and started eating. Thyro brought fried chicken, Pork menudo and Lechon kawali, rice and fried tilapia, I was hungry because I was familiar and had tasted them.

"Don't you have work today Thyro?" I asked while eating fried chicken, he turned to me and smiled.

"You are my job, My Shasha," he answered while looking into my eyes. I almost threw up, but I stopped.

"W-What? M-Me?" I was confused. How did I become his job?

"Mmm, you're my job to take care of you, I can't allow myself not to take care of you, you always enter my mind when I don't like it and what I want, so my job is to take care of you and love you." I feel both my cheeks heat up, my heart pumping hard inside my chest, as if he was happy with what the young man said.

"I can take care of myself," I promised weakly.

"So? Well, since I want to take care of you, is that bad for you? Is it bad to take care of the girl who makes my heart beat crazy for you right now?" he argued. I smiled and shook my head,

"You're corny hahahaha."

"Tsk, at least you were thrilled, right?" He tempted me. I frowned, this guy is really corny, sometimes sweet, usually he's bossy, I think he's bipolar.

After we finished eating, I helped him put away what we ate. Our lunch turned into a picnic. This was the first time we both ate and it was not like we used to eat at a restaurant.

"I just wanted to ask Thyro, when we first met at the airport, where are you from?" I didn't ask him while I was stroking his hair, I was currently leaning against the tree and his head was resting on my lap. We both looked at each other, his ocean blue eyes were cold but there was a hint of happiness.

"I just came back from New York, I was going to fix the problem with our company in Manila and when I fix it, I will come back again but my plan has changed," he responded while holding my right hand and kissed it.

So he's leaving too? Will he leave me? I smiled bitterly, why is this all temporary?

"W-Why did your plan change?" I added a question.

"Because of you," he replied directly. My heart skipped a beat when I heard from him. I?

"What does that have to do with me?" I asked again in surprise.
Ts
"Because I just saw you for the first time at the airport and we met accidentally, I knew at that time that my plans had changed because of you... because you are the only one who makes my heart beat faster, who is also the only person the only one who can do it is you from when we were young until now..." I can't speak, I don't know if I should be happy or sad, but on one hand I'm happy but I'm also sad because I don't remember anything from the past between us. Why can't I remember that?

*Ringgg ringgg*

Our attention was caught when my cell phone rang, I took it out of my pouch bag.

*Lance Calling...*

"Who's that?" Thyro asked. Our eyes met, I swallowed.

"It's your cousin, Lance," I answered weakly.

"Answer his call," he commanded me. I looked at him, he smiled and nodded to me.

"Hello," I answered the call.

"Where are you right now, woman?" He asked simply but there was fear in him and I knew he was angry because every word he said was stressed I swallowed hard, I can't say that Thyro and I are together because he will be suspicious and angry with me.

"At the restaurant, we had lunch," I was just thankful because I didn't stutter.

"It's 1:30 p.m. now, come to my office now woman, make it faster don't make me wait!" he argued.

"O-Okay."

"What did he say?" Thyro question. I looked at him very much. "I have to go to his office, it looks like he has something important to tell me." He nodded and stood up.

"Let's go, My Shasha," he offered and offered his hand on me, I gladly accepted it. We made our way back to the company in silence, as we used the secret elevator before.

"I'm happy I had lunch with you, it's like our date," he broke the silence. I nodded and smiled.

"Our lunch was a picnic, thank you Thyro, that was the first time I experienced that." He frowned.

"The picnic?" I nodded, he grinned.

"So I think it's better that we repeat that, hmm next time at the park, the beach, or I think it's better at Desire Island, what do you think?" Thyro asked. I thought, I'm better off on the island but I know Lance won't agree, he'll definitely be angry with me and he might even lock me up in his mansion.

"I don't think so Thyro, you know Lance, don't you? I'm already married and they'll see us together, maybe what's left to think—"

"I don't damn care, let them think what they want, I don't care as long as what's important to me is that I can be with you and see you," he sincerely said and slowly squeezing my left hand.

I smiled, I wish I was like you Thyro, I was able to fight for you because I know that no matter what I do, I can't fight for you because I'm still confused about my true feelings for you.

When the elevator opened, we immediately entered Lance's office. Lance frowned when he saw us together, he was currently leaning on his chair and looking at us.

"Why are you together?" he asked, although he was smiling, his voice was cold, there was a trace of anger in it. I swallowed.

"Um... because—"

"Actually I saw her at a restaurant, so I asked her where she was going, then she said she was here at your company. Since I was also on my way here and she didn't have a ride, I went with her," Thyro explained and simply glanced at me. Lance nodded as if this convinced him.

"Thank you cousin." Thyro looked at the watch on his arm.

"I need to go, my work is waiting, excuse me," Thyro said goodbye, Lance nodded and Thyro turned to him and simply smiled.

When Thyro got out, Lance stood up and came to him. Each step was slow but heavy, which gave me nervousness and fear in my chest. Is he going to hurt me again?

His secretary was also just looking at us. He held my chin tightly, I winced from the pain, I felt his nails dig into my skin because of the pain and pain I felt there. He brought his face closer to mine and kissed me on the lips, violently carelessly I almost suffocated, he warned me to let go, I'm just thankful that I didn't fall on the marble floor.

"What I hate the most is seeing you with someone else! Don't flirt with my cousin, but you will taste the woman you are looking for, you don't know me, I can kill you right now where you're standing," he said slowly and sharply, there was a trace of trembling and restraint in it, it was like a knife stabbing my heart with every word he said, even though he didn't love me and I was the same, he would have thought that what he was saying would hurt me but nothing, he is numb, heartless.

My eyes widened and started to blur with tears, I stopped crying in front of him, I didn't want to show that I was weak. But the events that followed were the very reason for the tears that I was holding back to come out. No. This is not happening...
