《Not Anyone | Vernon Chwe》Chapter 10
Advertisement
He was so dang sure of telling me to come over to his hotel room. My parents taught me to not easily trust people I just met and barely know, but I don't clearly know how this all happened.
He didn't feel and look like the type who deceives people, he rather looked innocent and that's one thing I'm holding on.
Our conversation went on, and eventually, we just found ourselves strolling and exploring the streets together. And as we were at it, I also found myself constantly getting attracted to everything he does, and him in general.
He was the perfect definition of a good different from other guys. I don't know how, but at some time of the day that I'm with him, I just find myself staring at him, my mind saying every attractive things he does, every attractive smiles he can put on his face and every attractive features everywhere him.
In our conversations, we both found out that we stayed at the same hotel which surprised me a lot, we must've bump into each other there for once. We even exchanged phone numbers so we can contact each other when I come to his room later at night.
The whole day was extremely fun while it lasted. I enjoyed every moment we had and both went back at the hotel at sun down.
I didn't feel that much sad when we parted ways at the hallway, because in less than hours, we're going to see each other again.
I thought it was crazy just by having the thought of coming to his room, but now, I feel so overwhelmingly excited. I didn't know wanting to buy a wine which he wanted too would lead me to getting more closer to him.
The moment I got inside my own room, I immediately went straight to the bathroom and took a bath. After sweating a lot from walking earlier, all I need is to freshen myself with a bath.
When I was done, I applied all sorts of cream on my skin just to smoothen it. And I've been doing it for most my life, certainly not just for tonight..

I went to the cheval mirror just beside the closet and keenly looked at myself in there, checking out every corner from my head down to my toe. It wasn't that bad, I looked normal I guess. But, as my eyes landed on my face, I couldn't help myself but to grin, remembering all my purpose on being overly meticulous like this.
I gritted my teeth excitedly. "What the hell!! I can't believe I met someone as handsome as him!!", I squealed under my breath, trying my best not to higher my voice more.
'Vernon.. '
"Even his name is pretty!!"
'..and cool...?'
Unknowingly, somehow, I got deja vu saying those words about his name.
But, all the deja vu's I get are mostly things that I've haven't experienced yet. I barely met him, why would I get these unknown memories about him anyway?
For some reason, I'm not up for meeting new people, maybe I don't like the idea of it and how in no time, they'll just leave. They come and go, leaving you all alone again.
I'm not the type of person to take risks as well. So, this situation I'm in right now; getting more closer to a person I just met, I don't want to say that for him, I'll change the way I think. Maybe people are just really afraid to be broken and left alone that it's hard for them to even take risks.
I took a deep breath as I braced myself to knock on his door. The one minute I was there infront of his door felt like an eternity now that I'm still contemplating my decisions. I don't even know how to face him now. Like, meeting him outside is so much different from coming over to his hotel room.
I was holding two big bag of chips that I also bought on the first time I did my grocery here. I reckoned then that in some time of my stay in here, I would be thankful for myself for buying all those goods, and now was the perfect and right time. I get to share it with him.

Clearing my throat, I knocked thrice. It didn't even took him a long time to open the door for me. And in an instant, my eyes was caught by his very existence.
Grey sweat shorts topped with a black plain shirt, I couldn't even describe why I found him so attractive in those type of clothes. And judging for his slightly wet hair, he just took a shower.
He's not just sexy like back then at the airport, he's not just handsome like how I always see him physically and how I imagine him in my mind, he's also freakishly Hot.
"Hi!", He greeted with his gummy smile. "Come in!"
"H—Hi! uhm.. thanks.", I slightly smiled and immediately brainwashed my own self to act calmly.
I can do this. I will not run out of breath. Yes, he's undeniably hot but stop staring.
He walked backwards, indicating me to walk forward and walk in.
When I finally got to move my feet and once and for all got inside, I was left in awe by how enormous his hotel room was. We're under the same building, but why does his feels like a whole different place?
"This is not a room, this is a casa.", I faced him, my eyes rounded.
He chuckled. "Not even close to a house, this is still just a room no matter how big it is."
"I wish I could relate, but this whole room you're saying is bigger than our house."
"Well, If I have a wife and a kid, I would consider this as one, but what could I do, I'm alone.", He shrugged his shoulders and tucked both his hands inside his pocket.
"You wish to have a family of your own.. ", I trailed my words as I tend my attention elsewhere, trying to hide my smile from him, I just felt like smiling, that's all. And rather than my words being a question, it was just perhaps like a simple comment.
"You can sit there at the sofa first, and you can just place those chips on the table or somewhere you want, and I'll just go and get the wine and glasses in a bit.", I just nodded, but when I was about to walk, I halted when he uttered again. "Oh, and do make yourself at home.", He smiled warmly before turning around and headed somewhere in this huge room that could possibly be the kitchen.
I seated myself on the soft sofa, placing the bag of chips on the table infront of me, and went back to looking around. He's alone and he got this humongous room all for himself. Even just by staying here inside, it's already considered a vacation.
He went back holding two glass wine's and that bottle of wine he bought earlier. He placed them on the table, he looked at it with a smile for a short while, he took a couple of steps back, And sat beside me.
Oh my cow.. I feel like this thing inside my chest is going to explode. I seriously need to calm down, but how can I?
The sofa was so long, but he chose to sit on a spot very close to where I was. It's not like I'm complaining when I'm basically not. It's just that, this are all happening too fast. And I'm not physically, mentally and emotionally prepared yet.
"You good?", I immediately snapped back to my sane mind when I heard him ask.
"Uhm.. yeah.", I forged a laugh. "This sofa is really comfortable. I could sit on here forever.", I continued to do my awkward laughs in between every word.
"Shall we start our night in?"
I hesitantly nodded. "Yeah.! Sounds really great.!"
Everytime I get to realize it, until now, I still can't believe that I'm here inside a guy's room. I do know some stuffs about him, but I met him in less than a week. And a night in? This is a really interesting way to clear my mind and a vacation in general.

Within the laws of the world, only 16 people are allowed to obtain a given "name". The Gods deemed these 16 people as the rightful rulers of the world and demanded that any being who obtains a name would be punished. They designated one person to become the "Queen" of the 15 people. Once the "Queen" was chosen, "Queen" was then allowed to name 15 other people as the chosen ones to her Royal Guard. A chance encounter with Queen gave birth to King's name and with that he became the first to be named as one of her Royal Guard.

(#1 in metaphor)At late nights, I could see those choked words rushing out of my throat-shouting their presence in the ink of the broken pen. They are awake to be in my heart and on this paper. In the soft yellow light of the lamp, I'm weaving them again, breaking the captivity of time. Oh, I'm still writing.
