AMY's POV:
"Excuse me, Mister Billionaire!" I cleared my throat.
"That would be me..." He turned back at once, delighted.
"I'm going back. Have a nice over-the-top shopping!" I gave him a fake smile and took a step back to go.
"Wh- why?" He grabbed my hand to stop me. I flicked away his hand at once. He gazed at his hand then at me. "Don't go."
"..." I blinked. Why?
"I didn't buy anything for you yet." He said in a low voice looking... sad?
"Why would you buy anything for me?" I smiled to make it feel less awkward.
"Because I'm rich!" He said as a matter of fact and I burst out laughing. Oh gawd! He is impossible!
"Thank you but I don't need anything." He furrowed his brows like I was telling a lie. Then something hit me, and I grinned at him. "Actually, I wanted something but..." I made a dramatic pause. His eyes brighten in excitement.
"Just say the word!" He encouraged me.
"I wanted to see you in these clothes you were buying..." He narrowed his eyes "I mean you bought them and will take them home. How do I know what you got or how do you look wearing them?" I blinked rapidly. He gave me a suspicious look. "Fine, you don't have to... I'm leaving." I pretended to be disappointed and look down.
"Alright! I show you. Now smile like a happy kid in Disneyland." He shouted loudly. Half annoyed, half excited.
I looked up and smile from ear to ear like a happy kid in... whatever. I glanced at Arm who lifted his brows and Pol who smiled and gave me two thumbs up.
.
Then started a freaking fashion show.
He came wearing designer clothes one after one. He looked good in everything he wore, which makes it more tragic. Even the weirdest design suited him. He should seriously consider to become a model. He'll rock all the bizarre outfits.
We sat on a sofa. On one end was Arm doing something on his cell phone and on the other side was me. I had to request Pol to sat too. He hesitated for too long then finally sat between us. Even then he was leaning on Arm's side staying away from me.
Tankhun came wearing a crocodile print leather jacket and he looked... Awesome. Even though the jacket was bizarre but he looked charming. He raised a brow at me in question and I gave a thumbs up.
He wore some shirts with strange cuts and designs that I don't even know what to call them.
We took five or six bags from the shop and Arm and Pol took turns to look at me in gratitude. I grinned hard. Duh I didn't do much!
Then we go to get some shades. He wore them looking at the mirror and turned to look at me. Some of them looked actually good on him while some of them just made me laugh. As he was looking at me, he moved the glasses up and down like he was checking if I looked the same with or without. Haha
I choose three design that would look good with the clothes he bought earlier. And I was amazed to see when he chose to bought a lips-shaped silver eye glasses.
.
Then we go to buy some footwear. And he did the same thing again. He placed a finger and did a ramp walk and declare that he wanted all of them. Then I had to remind him about the size thing. He just rolled his eyes at me like I was being stupid.
And yes, I turned out to be one when he told them the size in which he wanted all of them.
"Excuse me leave these four pairs out." I said to the guy who was packing the bags. "You've already got them." I informed Mr. shopping maniac who was giving me a side eye for no good reason. "I mean I saw you wearing them to the college!"
"Have I?" He turned to ask Pol who nodded in yes.
Don't tell me he didn't even know what he got already!!! Sigh~~
"Brother Pol?"
"Yes, Miss Amy?"
"Can you please look at these pairs to see if he already got them at home or not?"
He nodded and pointed at four to five more pairs. "He bought these last time too." Pol said while making a face. I glared at Tankhun who looked up at the ceiling. King of stupidity!
Arm paid through the card and Pol grabbed four more shopping bags. He looked happy for some reason.
His Majesty was walking ahead of us, with his hands moving around and his eyes scanning the whole area. Ugh! He wanted to buy some more things... I rubbed my face in annoyance as I saw him going into another shop.
"Do you guys want to drink something?" I halted making the guys behind me stopped too. They exchanged glances. "Come on, my treat!" I said excitedly. But in reality, my feet hurt after walking around in three damn floors. They nodded again as if bowing to me. I don't like it. "Use words not your heads." I said bluntly.
"...", "..."
They blinked once, twice.
"I don't feel comfortable when you do this..." I demonstrated while using my own head and nodded quite exaggeratedly. They both chuckled to see that. "See, it looks funny, so don't do that." At that they bow down again. "Wonderful!" I throw my hands in the air cause I am so done with them.
"Why are you guys doing here and not following me?" We heard a loud high-pitched voice shouting at us from a few meters away, making a few girls jumped in their steps. Haha
"Arm give me his damn card." I said in a low voice and slightly got surprised when he gave me the thing without even asking why. I jogged to Tankhun and gave him the card. "You can go alone we're going to have something to drink." He narrowed his eyes at me. Don't tell me he can't go anywhere without his guards accompanying him!
"If you gave me the card, how would you buy anything?" He asked with so much sincerity that I paused.
"Well, we don't need your card as I was the one paying for them." I answered proudly. He looked astonished as I was saying something impossible.
"My boys wouldn't go with you!" He held his head high. Was that a challenge!?!
"We are going. You guys are coming with me, right?" First sentence was for him then I asked a little louder as both of them were standing a little far from us. They were about to nod then I glared at them.
Pol: "Y-yes"
Arm: "Yes!"
"Great! Let's go." I exclaimed happily and walked towards them. As I joined the two guy the third one came too without any invitation and start walking ahead of us.
"I want to get your treat too." He announced while making a sulking face like a kid.
"In that case, I'll walk in front... and you follow me." I walked in front of him and said with my chin up, half mimicked his style. Hehe
I know he was calling me names inside but I dare him to said that out loud.
.
I asked them what would they like to have but they just didn't seem to decide, maybe out of hesitation. But the billionaire was quite shameless to place an order for himself the most expensive drink on the menu card. Hah, just because it's expensive doesn't mean it tastes good too.
Well, I'm not poor. I can order the same thing for everyone if I wanted to. But the thing is I had drank the flavour, he ordered before and I don't like it that much.
.
I took the tray of four glasses to the table where they were sitting. I placed the expensive one in front of its owner then looked at the others.
"Umm this is peach, red grapes and pineapple take the one you like. Well, if you don't like any of these then let me know I'll get you something else."
"No, thank you I take the peach one." Pol said making me smile.
Arm took the pineapple one without saying anything. Then I sat to enjoy my own beverage. As soon as I took a sip from the straw, I felt like heavens.
Tankhun was taking small sips of his drink but kept staring at me. Eh don't tell me you wanted to take mine now. I had a stupid urge to stick my tongue at him.
Stop staring at my drink...just had your expensive one. How can someone buy drinks based on their prices? Silly!
I was busy thinking when I felt something odd. I looked down at my glass and saw two straws. I raised my head to look at the one who was stealing my juice without even asking first.
Mr. Billionaire steal a mouth full of sip and my mouth fell opened. Even Arm and Pol gave me apologetic looks on his behalf. It's not about the drink its about his freaking boldness.
He sat back as he swallowed my sweet and sour red grapes. He looked quite happy with himself.
"I like your taste." He stated. My eyes widened in horror and both Arm and Pol chocked on their beverages.
Tankhun gave them a look, rolled his eyes and stood behind them to pat their backs. When he felt that the both of his guys survived the choking, he sat back and smiled at me. I was looking at him in a trance. Well, he cares for his guys...
"I'm happy." He said out of the blue.
"As you should be after buying so many things." I glanced at the bags on my left and right.
"No silly, I'm happy because your taste in clothes and other stuff is good even the juice you choose was tasty." He explained.
"...", "...", "..."
Silence in the air...
"What! Why are you all looking at me like this?" He sat a little back.
"So, the taste you were talking about was a synonym of 'choice'?"
"Yes..." He made a confused face. Both Arm and Pol looked down to take a sip ignoring their stupid for a boss. I wish I could do the same.
"I like your taste!" He repeated again.
"Stop saying that! Gawd!" I wanted to throw something at his face. He smiles widely showing all of his teeth. I narrowed my eyes a little. I don't think he's as stupid as he shows...
.
On the way out if the mall, I saw a jewellery shop. Well, it felt kinda weird to spend three freaking hours at the mall and go home empty handed.
I like minimalist accessories that I can wear every day. So, I was looking at the rings and I find the one of my taste... ahmm... choice.
"Get this one with the large diamond." Tankhun suddenly said behind me making me startled a little. I looked at the one he pointed and felt cringed.
"It's a wedding ring."
"So?"
"I don't want it."
"Why?"
"I don't like the design."
"Then choose the one you like. I'll buy for you."
"I can buy it for myself. Thank you very much."
"But I can buy you all the wedding rings here... except the one you already rejected." He started talking rich nonsense again.
"Why would you buy a wedding ring for me?"
"Why you won't take the wedding ring from me?"
"..." I turned to look at him. Is he messing up with me!?
"If I buy a wedding ring for you. Then you have to wear it. I won't take a no from you." He stated stubbornly.
"You know what a girl has to do if a boy bought her a ring, right?"
He thinks for a second...
"She wears it..."
Facepalm!
"Right! Now please get lost."
"Wh-what!!??" He shouted.
"Excuse me, can you show me this one..." I ignored him and asked the girl behind the counter. I looked at the ring I choose. It was a thin white gold ring. "Can I try it?" I asked while smiling at the girl, she politely nodded. I wore it on my first finger and it looked quite elegant on my hand. He was staring at my hand too but didn't say anything. "I'll take this one." I smiled and put the ring on the counter.
"Ma'am, it's a couple set so you have to buy it in pair." Oh, how sad! "In that case... I can't buy this..." I half smiled at her but for some reason she glanced at the guy beside me.
"I'll take it." Tankhun said in a husky voice, making the girl shy. Yucky hell!
"Why are you taking it? Who would you give the other one?" I asked in a low voice just out of curiosity. He raised a brow "Don't tell me you like someone!" My eyes widen at the thought and I placed my hand to covered my mouth. "Who's the lucky girl!" I asked sarcastically.
He looked at me like I'm the stupidest girl he ever met. I glanced at his guards who had the almost same expression as him. Trio of weirdest people existing on the damn earth!
He bought the couple rings, and I watched the one I liked with sorrow and grief. Only if I had my someone here to get the damn thing with...
Maybe I should have bought them both and throw the other one away, or just put it in a chain and wore as a necklace until I met my someone to give the ring.
Ugh! Amy you should have think that before...
Tankhun wore the rose gold ring on his ring finger and raised his hand to look at it. It looked good in his long slender finger. Damnit!
"Give me your hand."
"Pardon?" I hide my hands behind my back.
"I won't touch you..." He said softly. I hesitated a little but show him my right hand.
He took the silver gold ring and put it on my first finger. I looked up at his face. He was smiling still looking at my hand. I felt a slight touch as he moved his fingers above the thin ring.
And that's it, I forgot how to breath and my heart was beating hard as if to remind me to breath. I was in a trance and didn't even notice when he placed his left hand near my right one and clicked pictures on his cell phone.
He first raised his head to look at my face, then raised his cell phone to my face and...
Click!
