Where could her phone be?
”Jeremy, have you seen my phone?” she finally remembered him and jumped back to her feet. She went downstairs to get to him. He should see her phone, right?
She found him in his studio, listening to something. At first, she did not want to disturb him but she desperately needed her phone. She needed to inform her mother that she has arrived and also contact her manager to get an update of her schedule.
She tapped his shoulder to get his notice but he was too engrossed with whatever he was listening to. She finally pulled the headphone down.
He forgot that she was there and was about to lash out to whoever brave enough interrupting him. But luckily he saw her before he shouted. His expression softened and a wide smile appeared on his face.
”Love, what are you doing here?”
”My phone. Have you seen it?” she asked.
He turned around and pulled her to sit on his laps. Then, he turned back so both of them were facing the computer. He even slid back a little bit to accommodate both of them. He put the earphone to her ears.
She wanted to ask him what he was doing but cancelled her intention. She paused and closed her eyes, listening to the music carefully.
”What do you think?” he asked after she finally took off the earphone and put it on the table.
”The arrangement is so beautiful. Is this the song for Mika's wedding? Is it going to be live or…?” she asked excitedly.
”Hmm… And… I want you to sing it during the wedding with me,” he whispered close to her ear, sending shiver to her whole body. Even her toes curled listening to his husky voice. ”Can you do it?”
”Hmm…?” she rubbed her tingling ear unconsciously, even trying to put a gap between their head but he kept leaning forward, refused to separate from her.
”What are you doing? I can do it myself,” she cried, trying to push him away.
”Let me hug you. I'm scared this is just a dream and we're… you are not here,” he whispered.
She smiled. He sounded so desperate… almost like a child. He looked nervous too. Despite him being the CEO of Full Moon Corp. a very popular singer and songwriter, there was a vulnerability in his eyes when he looked at her.
It was like he was scared this was just a dream.
She cupped his cheeks and pressed her forehead against his. ”Maybe both of us are dreaming right now.”
He closed his eyes. If this was a dream, this was the best dream he had so far.
”Say yes,” he said suddenly.
He was about to say marrying her but he managed to hold himself. It was not the right time yet. Besides, his Ryn deserved an event for the proposal.
”Be my partner for the wedding. I've arranged the songs to suit your range,” he asked full of hope. He never once considered other women for the songs. He always wanted her to partner with him for the songs.
”It's been too long for me to sing…” she choked out.
”It's okay. We still have time to practice,” he reassured her.
”But… J, there are a lot of female artists you can choose from and I have no doubt they will love to sing at Mika's wedding,” she said. The pressure to sing in public, even though so far Mika claimed there would be among family and close friends but knowing Grandma Long, there would be people from the business world as well as some of the leaders in the country. She did not want to make a fool of herself.
”Don't worry. I will help you practice,” he coaxed her, stroking her back almost absentmindedly.
”But…”
”Don't worry. We have a lot of time to practice. You can even choose to practice here, in the karaoke or in the studio,” he winked.
”Ergh… here,” she replied quickly before gasped. ”J, you fooled me!”
”Did I?” he asked innocently.
”J!”

Mika wrapped her arm around Jason's arm happily as they walked down the stairs carefully. They had to be careful because there were so many people watching the movie.
”I love it so much,” she said before grumbled, ”But I hate it when there were too many misunderstanding between them and they did not even try to clear them quickly.”
