Aira's Choice Man

The Eps 9

Aira hurriedly finished her work and bid farewell to some staff who were still tidying things up.

Devano left words that stuck in his heart without giving any chance for Aira to explain the situation that Devano misunderstood.

It's already 9pm and Aira is hungry. Erigo invited him to dinner. Aira really did not want to go because she was tired and wanted to go home, take a shower and eat. But what if Erigo was really waiting for him to come?

Aira inevitably stepped towards the parking lot and saw Erigo coming out of his car waving at Aira.

Aira half ran up to him. "What are you doing?" Ask Aira. "What if someone sees? " Say Aira again.

Erigo with his practical attitude just laughed. "Go in first" Erigo said.

Aira according. "Where are we going?" Ask Aira again.

"Dining. I'm hungry" Erigo answered and ran his car out of the building.

"Can you do it? Everyone knows you" said Aira. "You will trigger a scandal before the album's release" Aira reminded.

Though Aira had twice deliberately rejected Devano's invitation for the same reason, but here she was, going with Erigo. Aira really felt bad when she remembered Devano's disappointed expression when she spoke to him before returning home. He feels like a traitor.

Erigo commented a smile on his face. He was very confident. "we went to my friend's cafe. I've spoken to him, and we just need to get through the back door" Erigo said.

Aira thought for a moment. It doesn't seem good to go with a guy who shouldn't look back and forth with a girl at important times like this. This can't be allowed. What if someone sees them alone and misunderstands. That will cause a stir before the release of the song.

Erigo squinted at Aira. Aira didn't want to, and it was obvious. "Is there something bothering you?" Tanya Erigo grunts.

Aira bit her fingertips. He nodded and said "No. I can't be like this. People will misunderstand" said Aira still hesitating. "We buy roadside food, we eat in the car" he said.

"Road food?" Erigo. There had never been a woman who refused to eat with him. Most people want to look blatant rather than hide from other people's eyes. Aira is an exception. And Erigo is more and more interested in her.

"Yes.. The curb.. You've never tried it? It tastes pretty good. Take it easy, I'm down. You stay in the car and hide" said Aira seriously.

Erigo laughs. Of course he had bought roadside food. He was not born rich. He works hard for everything he has now. The only thing that prevents him from eating roadside food is popularity. "All right.." Erigo answered according to. "Where is the place that sells the best food?" Ask.

"There!" Aira said pointing to a small stall that raises smoke from cooking dishes directly with a large fire. Erigo stopped his car right next to the tent stall.

Aira went down and bought enough portions for the two of them.

Erigo looked at her for a long time, full of curiosity and full of judgment. Aira beautiful. His skin is white and clean. Aira also smells of strawberry. Erigo likes strawberries. The fact that the girl did not want to be seen walking along with her caught Erigo's attention. Aira was quite unique to him.

After almost fifteen minutes of waiting, Aira finally walked out of the tent stall, carrying a bag of food in one hand and mineral water in the other. Erigo smiled when he saw Aira coming. Aira is a simple woman.

They drive for a while looking for a suitable location to eat. They ate in a parked car facing the river. Beautiful view at night. The shadow of the bridge's lights glistened over the water. Many people sell around it. There are plenty of food and drink options to satisfy your taste buds. Some couples join together along the edge.some are sitting around eating as well.

They ate in the car chatting, until the time showed almost eleven p.m.

Aira glanced at her watch and said, "it's night, I think we should go home" she said.

"really? Too bad.." Erigo still wanted to linger with Aira. "You don't want to be here until morning? With me?" Said gnawing.

Aira pouted "no, thank you. I want to go home, shower and sleep comfortably rather than just being folded up in a small box and waking up the lifeguard tomorrow morning" Aira said.

Erigo laughed at Aira's words." Alright... I'll drive you" Erigo said.

Arriving at the apartment, erigo went straight into the parking area.

"Why not put me down in front?" Aira was confused. "You want to go to Devano's?" Ask again when Erigo did not answer.

Erigo smiled. "No. I'll take you to the front door" Erigo said.

"I won't barge in, I promise" Erigo smiled.

"That's not what I mean" Aira said again. "I just want to avoid the commotion, okay."

Erigo raised his brows "And where exactly did the commotion come from?" Ask him no matter.

Aira sighs. "What if someone sees you with me and.. " Aira hasn't finished talking when Erigo interrupts "it's late at night Aira, it would be dangerous if I let you ride alone. What if something happens in the elevator. Either it's haunted, or the elevator stops in the middle, or both. Ghosts are the cause. Hows it? Aren't you scared?" Erigo parked his car straight.

Aira giggled "You're silly Erigo."

"who else is still wearing this sweet watch?." Erigo said before he got out of his car.

They went up to the 7th floor. Erigo actually drove Aira to the front door of her apartment.

Aira smiled "thank you for driving me home".

Erigo stood facing Aira. "Sama-sama Aira" he said. "Can I come here again?" Ask Erigo.

Aira couldn't resist it for the sake of politeness. "Of course I can.. You can bring the others too. I will cook for you" replied Aira.

Erigo put his hand in the pocket of his jeans and said "No. I mean, I'm on my own. Meet you" Erigo replied.

Aira fell silent digesting Erigo's words. It's too sudden.

"You know what I mean by Aira" Erigo said, seeing Aira as silent.

Aira shakes. "I don't understand what you mean" replied Aira afraid of misunderstanding.

Erigo understood that this was a new thing for Aira. "Don't turn me down first Aira" Erigo said as he approached Aira. He took out one hand and clasped Aira's fingers "I want to see you again. Outside of work" he said.

Aira fell silent. He never imagined any relationship with Erigo. Now Erigo's big hand clasping his hand made his heart beat fast.

Erigo stepped to reduce their distance and kissed Aira's cheek at a glance.

Aira was surprised, her heart almost missed. Instantly his face blushed. "What are you doing?" Aira whispered while observing the surroundings afraid that anyone would see.

Erigo smiled looking at Aira's gurgle. "I don't want to go home Aira. But I don't want to force you" he said. "I know you like Toddy a lot, but can you think of me once in a while?"

Toddy? It was very random on this topic of conversation. Think Aira.

Erigo retreated again and looked into Aira's eyes with a mischievous glint. "Once upon waking, occasionally at breakfast, occasionally at lunch, occasionally on the go, occasionally at bath, and occasionally at bedtime. That way you'll throw up every time you see me" Erigo said childishly. It provoked Aira's laughter.

Erigo again put on a serious face "I'm not joking Aira, please think about it, and let me know if you're ready" Erigo let go of Aira's hand "I'm going first" he said.

Aira simply nodded without being able to say anything. He was confused and half in disbelief.

After that Aira entered, closed the door and leaned back. "Aauugghhh my heart" said Aira palpating her left chest. He felt his face heat up. Aira shook her head trying to throw away her memories. This all feels so complicated.

Elsewhere, Devano paced restlessly. Sighing, Devano glanced at the clock on the wall. Perhaps he should have followed his heart and prevented Aira from leaving with Erigo instead of smiling in a stale manner and telling Aira to have fun.

You're a fool, Devano. He cursed himself.

He had thought about waiting for Aira in the hallway, but how could he do so for no apparent reason?

So, here he is now. Pouting like a father who worries his daughter comes home late after a date.
