DEVANYE. STILL LOVING YOU
Axel - Gio part 139
"Are you okay?" Gio crouched down equalizing his height with the woman. The woman shook her head until the hair covering her face swayed to the right and to the left. He moved his hand and grabbed the hair covering his face.
"Tiara?!"
Feeling her name on the call of the woman raised her gaze.
"Sir Gio." wailed Tiara with a vibrating tone of voice. Tiara felt unlucky why she had to meet this person in such a state.
Gio looked at Tiara's bruised face, turning blue at the corner of his lips as well as the red color on the other cheek, where the man had hit him. His eyes and nose were red. Tiara is crying!
...*...
"Who is that guy?" Ask Gio. They are now in the parking lot of a pharmacy. Gio was applying alcohol with a cotton swab on the corner of Tiara's bruised lip.
"Gohs..." Tiara hissed at the pain of her hand reflexively holding back Gio's large hand that was clearing his wound. The pain felt there.
Tiara just kept quiet, she couldn't answer Gio's question. Gio looked at Tiara who seemed reluctant to answer.
"Tiaras. Who's he. Answer!" Gio with his firm tone of voice made Tiara flinch. Her net was staring at Gio who was also staring at her. He knows for sure and knows very well the tone of his boss's voice when he is real angry or just angry at him.
"Friends only. He just wants money!" Tiara turned her gaze the other way, not wanting her gaze to whip with Gio anymore.
Gio has to believe? It sounded from Tiara's tone like she was hiding something from him. What's Tiara doing out there at a clock like this? She couldn't have left mom alone at home if nothing really mattered, could she?
"Why are you outside?" Gio couldn't stand being curious, he wanted answers. His hand continued to move at the corner of Tiara's lips.
"I'm looking for food."
Should he believe? Near from his house there were many food vendors and why did he walk this long way from the food vendors?!
Gio held onto Tiara's chin, lifting it up slightly to be able to clearly see the wound in the corner of the Tiara seedling. Tiara's face looked up because of Gio's treatment.
Deg. Deg.
Gio's warm breath on his chin felt clear. The man was very focused on cleaning his wound and also sticking plaster on Tiara's forehead which was injured by a zipper bag that had been thrown violently by the man.
"Sir Gio. Let me stay at Father's!" tiara's remark made Gio turn his head before turning on his car. Confused, one eyebrow raised upwards.
"Don't think anything else. Don't misunderstand me. I meani... I'll sleep on the couch. I can't go home like this. I'll be asking and worrying a lot." Tiara added. He looked at Gio asking for an answer of approval.
Gio sighed heavily. Wouldn't it be that he didn't come home that would make me worry?
"okay!"
Gio was upset himself, why was that answer he gave? He just wanted to tell her to go home. Why is it 'okay'?
The car left the pharmacy parking lot. The tiara gives off a flat difference in its hp. His thumb was playing on that flat screen nimblely, his eyes staring at the focus on the thing in his hand. Then put the thing near his ear. It was as if he was making a call.
"Mothers. I met Alea. And he wants to confide. Can I stay at his house?" Gio glanced at Tiara, he could not believe this girl had just lied to her mother?
"Yes. Thanks, Mum. Mom go to sleep. Don't forget the door lock!" tiara said in her carefree tone as if nothing had ever happened to her. He smiled with pleasure.
Tiara put the phone back in her bag. Exhaling his breath with relief. Breathe in again and breathe out again. It was different from when he called my mother. Gio wanted to ask, but Tiara's face looked wistfully outwards.
Their journey was made in silence. Tiara leaned her head, while Gio focused on the road ahead.
Gio glanced at Tiara, the girl was already asleep. He could not speak or move at all.
In silence Gio thought, what made Tiara in the deserted streets earlier. Looking for food is impossible in a quiet place and that man... Who her?
Arrive at the apartment. Gio glanced towards Tiara. The girl still remained asleep even though she had already wiggled her arm and called out to him slowly.
It seems like this kid is hard for him to wake up.
Gio got out of the car and walked towards the other door. He opened the door, trying to wake Tiara one more time. Didn't want him to make a wrong decision and Tiara thought he would be rude.
This kid is really hard to wake up. It's been an impossible night if Gio leaves Tiara in the car until morning.
Gio lifted Tiara carefully inside his carriage. This girl did not wake up at all, even she moved her head and increasingly pushed it in the niche of Gio's neck. Like a kitten looking for comfort in his master's arms. Like it, of course he did it unconsciously.
Gio laid Tiara on the bed, though he said he would sleep on the sofa but it would be impolite to let a woman sleep uncomfortably on a hard sofa. Let him just give up. After all, sleeping on the sofa all night will not make him die because it is not comfortable.
Gio pulled the blanket, covering Tiara's body up to the neck. He rubbed Tiara's forehead, this must have hurt. He pulled his hand as he came to his senses and asked himself. What the hell is he doing?
Confused by her situation, she chose to go out from inside the room.
"Heru, check the CCTV on XX street. Find out who the man who attacked Tiara was and take him to his usual place."
Move his finger and press the red icon. The call ended after hearing the 'okay' answer from across the street.
Gio looked out the window. Light shimmered from a distance. Gorgeously twinkle to decorate this cold night. The sound of a lot of vehicles out there sounds slow, of course this most populous city like never sleeping, changing with the owner of the night activity.
Gio stared at the vehicle that seemed to be moving slowly down there, he stood slightly bent over. Both of his hands held the edges of the slightly open window, a cold night wind blowing from outside through the open window gap. It was cold but he didn't care. His eyes were focused on staring out, but it was unclear what he saw. His mind continued to be reflected by the incident.
If Tiara doesn't want to talk to her, okay. He doesn't mind. He can figure out who that guy is. Although Tiara doesn't like it, stupid. He doesn't like his assistant being bullied let alone being hurt!
