My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

8. Dinner

Miya stepped out of the car when she arrived in front of a university. A gentle whirring of cool wind swept across his face. He confidently entered the university and Miya always put on a smile, when she passed by people.

Although it was a little difficult to find his classroom, but after asking around, Miya finally found a classroom that was quite large and only a few students were in it. Miya then looked around for the most strategic seat not too in front and also not too behind. He saw the seat he wanted and next to him was filled with a beautiful blonde girl. Miya sat down next to him and smiled at the girl.

‘’Halo! My name is Miya Nakagawa!’’

Miya reached out to the little blonde girl next to her and the girl was astonished, then hesitated she welcomed Miya's helping hand .

’’My name isabella O’Brian, but my friends call me Bella,’’ said the girl was friendly.

‘’Good to know you Bella. Just call me Miya."

‘’You're Japanese? But judging from your face doesn't look like a Japanese."

‘’I am indeed Japanese. My mother is English and actually my father is of little English descent."

‘’Oh fast. We're friends,’’ said the girl.

Miya smiles happily.’’We're friends." The two girls laughed. Miya looked at her new friend who was friendly and also fun. The girl thought she would feel fit to be friends with him. Miya looked at her watch, there was still 10 minutes left before her lesson began.

Miya sat leaning back and crossed her arms across her chest while looking at the room being filled to the brim with students. A mischievous grin teased his uncle appearing in his eyes. Anxiety will his uncle reappear.’’What the hell does he want? Forcing people to have dinner together with him,’’tuk Miya is upset. ‘’You why Miya?’’ask Isabella.

‘’Ah no. I'm just upset with someone. But it doesn't matter now. I can handle it." Isabella nodded in understanding and gave a sweet smile to him.  He feels good to be able to make friends as good as Isabella and Miya is sure Isabella will be a good friend for him.At noon break time they both had lunch together .

Late in the afternoon, Miya had returned to her uncle's mansion. He jumped straight into bed. He was so tired today. It feels like he wants to sleep if he doesn't remember his uncle's promise to have dinner together.

Miya closed her eyes and saw her uncle there with a mischievous smile teasing her again, then recalled the man's kiss for the umpteenth time. I don't know how many times Miya kept remembering that kiss. A kiss she doesn't want to remember anymore, but it keeps on overshadowing her.

The touch of his lips was so strong, firm and possessive. Miya had no idea what her uncle was thinking. Why did Uncle Fabian kiss her? Did he just want to tease her and play with her feelings? The sound of knocking on the door surprised Miya.’’Login!’’

Mary Jane walks in with a friendly and soothing smile.’’It's time you get ready for a dinner with Mr. Fabian."

‘’Oh of course. I didn't forget that." Miya immediately looked for good clothes and deserved to wear it, but Mary Jane had prepared a beautiful long night dress in blue tosca.

’’You must wear this dress."

‘’Where did you get it? It's so beautiful,’’he said as she stroked the softness of the dress fabric.

‘’The dress was bought by Mr. Fabian and these shoes." Miya looked at the shoes that had matching colors to her dress. ‘’Ah and also this." Mary Jane gave a jewelry box to Miya. Inside was a beautiful diamond necklace. ‘’What is all this for me?’’Ask in a non-believing tone.

‘’It looks like so. Mr. Fabian gave all this to you to wear."

‘’Any once. Why did uncle give all this to me?’’

‘’Maybe mister Fabian wants you to look beautiful at dinner with him. You'd better wear it otherwise the master will definitely get angry."

‘’I know it. I'll wear it all."

♪♪♪♪

A waiter greeted the arrival of a man who had just got out of his car. ‘’Welcome !’’greet the waiter.

‘’Your place has been set up. Please come with me!’’ The waiter drove her to a VIP.’’ waiting roomPlease!’’

‘’Thank you’’.

Fabian then sat on a light brown leather sofa and on the table prepared a pot of coffee with a variety of snacks. The scent of lavender therapy immediately smelled when he entered. In the room were only two men who were busy talking and were unaware of his presence. The man saw that his watch was still 15 minutes away before Miya came and preferred to spend the rest of the time waiting for him by reading a business magazine he was carrying.

In the magazine Fabian found an interesting article about Kenndrick Industries which is a rival of Baskerville Industries since decades ago and they are always competing in all fields of business and competing to be the strongest company in the UK and America. Their competition is no longer an open secret.

Today Kenndrick Industries is still ranked second and of course the first rank is still occupied by Baskerville Industries which has survived for approximately five years ago. Since Fabian became CEO, his company has always improved and his company's shares have always increased and shifted the position of rival companies to rank two. In the article, the president of Kenndrick Industries will again try to shift the position of Baskerville Industries. Fabian's face hardened . ‘’Try if you can,’’gumamnya.

 ‘’Good night uncle Fabian!’’

The soft voice immediately awakened Fabian from his anger. He turned his attention away from the article towards the voice that called out to him. Fabian was so fascinated by Miya's beautiful appearance that he was satisfied with the dress he bought for her. The dress was really very suitable for her, as well as her diamond necklace. Fabian smiled gently, then stood up then grabbed the girl's hand to kiss her.

‘’You are so beautiful." He looked into Miya's clear bluish-green eyes. Miya returns her uncle's smile and gives Fabian the desire to hug and kiss the girl, but she can't do that now, because there are people who can see her. Fabian growled in his heart. Falling in love with a girl right now is not her top priority, but with Miya's presence it becomes out of place and she loves Miya more than she thought.

She wanted to spend time with him and thought about marrying him, but she doubted it. Will Miya love him and marry him? Whenever he's ready to drop the playboy label right now, if the girl wants to love him and marry him, Fabian thinks with a pierced heart.

Fabian never once thought of getting married again and building a domestic life again, but now he wants it again. Miya is the woman she has always wanted and she loves him sincerely. ‘’Uncle why?’’ Miya's soft voice returned to awaken her daydream.

’’Nothing. Let's go to our dining table."

 Miya admires the restaurant her uncle chose to have dinner with her. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very romantic and there were several couples who were enjoying dinner. The girl found it strange why did her uncle take her to this romantic restaurant? And obviously this restaurant is not meant for family dinners like she was with her uncle.

Fabian pulled a chair for Miya after they arrived at the dining table. The candle with the soft light had been on the table. This would be the romantic candlelight dinners he once did. But why did his uncle do this romantic dinner? Miya looked at her uncle who had been sitting in front of her and always smiled at her.

Miya's breath was choked, when she saw her uncle who was so incredibly handsome with his hair combed more neatly and his clothes were impeccable. Despite his annoyance, Miya admits tonight his uncle is too handsome to be described with words. Since her arrival here, Miya realized several pairs of eyes were watching her with her uncle. Miya had no idea what those people were thinking to her.

 ‘’How about your lecture?’’

‘’Everything went well and I've also made good friends."

‘’It was good."

‘’Sometimes I'll introduce him to uncle."

The waiter came with food that Fabian had ordered in advance. ‘’Thank you,'’said Fabian, then the waiter left. ‘’Do you like the food? Otherwise you can order it again."

‘’No need I like all those foods." Fabian smiled warmly.

After eating, the music was heard and some couples started dancing in the moonlight. ‘’You want to dance with me?’’fabian asked as he extended his hand to Miya.

 ‘’Good. There's no harm in dancing with uncle." As soon as Miya welcomed her helping hand, Fabian clutched her tightly. Miya can feel the strength of her uncle's body in her own body while her uncle's arm hugs her tightly and Miya again smells her uncle's body she likes.

The warm radiance of his eyes flashed in his eyes and the warmth of his uncle's body began to seep into his own body. Fabian's hand grabbed Miya's waist and stroked her. The touch of his hand caused a pleasant sigh throughout Miya's body. Now his heart was pounding and his legs were limp. Miya tries to break away, but Fabian hugs her tighter and traps Miya's body under her strong arms.

‘’You are so beautiful my Miya. The prettiest woman I have ever met and I really like you a lot,’’ said in a hoarse and raucous voice as her uncle's lips almost touched Miya's lips and made the girl's heart flutter even louder.

Miya did not know whether she should be happy to hear it or not. Nor does he know if his uncle is telling the truth or just trying to tease him. ‘’Too?’’pinta Miya with a clear voice.

‘’Don't hug me too tight like this. What are people saying here."

‘’What's wrong with the people here? You don't have to care."

‘’But I care about it. They're gonna think we're both lovers."

‘’So that's what you worry about?’’ There was a disappointed tone in Fabian's voice.

‘’Iya."

‘’ You don't have to care about them. Leave it alone,’’whisper it with a raucous voice. For a while Fabian enjoyed dancing with Miya. After the music stopped playing, Fabian held his hand back to their table. A bottle of champagne is available at the table. Fabian had placed a glass of champagne in front of Miya and asked her to toast. Miya complied too. The romantic atmosphere makes them familiar. For a moment Miya forgot her frustration at her uncle Fabian.

‘’We'd better go home now. I don't want you to wake up tomorrow."Fabian grabbed Miya's hand and grasped it tightly. They walked to the parking lot.  Fabian looked at Miya closely. ‘’I really enjoyed tonight and the dance was also very fun even though you weren't good at dancing but I enjoyed it. Thanks for coming with me to dinner, Miya."

‘’I also enjoyed her dinner and dance too, but I didn't like the way uncle hugged me earlier. I'm not uncle's girlfriend, so next time if you want to dance with me again uncle don't...’’.

Miya's words came to a halt when Fabian's lips touched hers .The man's lips felt soft and cool under the cold night air. Miya flinched in shock. Even more so when Fabian hugged her tightly. Fabian's open lips tried to caress, seduce and urged that the girl's mouth be open for him.

Out of her will, Miya opened her mouth to let Fabian's tongue crackle through every curve in the girl's mouth and sent out the primitive thrill vibrations all over her body. Fabian's sturdy arm was getting tighter clamping down on his lower back.

When Fabian stopped his kiss, Miya herself was astonished at what she had done earlier. His blue-green eyes looked faint and showed a look of confusion. Fabian was indeed very adept at kissing, that was what Miya felt at the time. Fabian has been making love with his mouth making Miya once again exposed to the meshes of his uncle's charm. Oh nooooo.

 ‘’Wah...wah ."

Fabian and Miya were shocked when someone greeted them in inappropriate circumstances .

‘’James, you...’’.

Fabian's face turned violent and terrifying . His eyes turned dark.  Miya had no idea what was going on between them, but her uncle was clearly putting up a hostile attitude with the man in front of her. The man was tall and proud-faced.

 ‘’Surprised to see me here. Who's the woman next to you? Is she one of your new lovers,’’ she said in a cynical tone.  James tried to touch Miya.

‘’DO NOT TOUCH HIM!’’fabian shouted while protecting Miya behind his body.

James chuckles.’’Alright . I'm not gonna touch it. I know you don't like to share with others. Just so you know, I still can't forgive you for what you did four years ago. Fabian, you're a killer."Then his gaze was fixed towards Miya.’’You better stay away from this guy because he's a murderer. This man killed his own wife." The man then left without looking back. Both of them stood motionless . After Fabian takes control of his emotions, he tells Miya to get into his car. The girl noticed her uncle who had been sitting in the driver's seat with an illegible expression. Assassin. Uncle Fabian has killed his wife. What does it mean?’’inner Miya.

♪♪♪♪

The clock was already showing at eleven p.m., when Fabian and Miya arrived at the Castalia mansion. Since the trip home from the restaurant the two had not talked busy with each other's thoughts. Edgar welcomed the arrival of the two. ‘’Goodnight sir, miss!’’

‘’Evening Edgar!’’Fabian.

‘’Night !’’said Miya.

‘’When is dinner?’’

‘’Really fun. Thank you for asking,’’answered Fabian .

Fabian walked quickly towards the top floor and Miya followed him from behind. Actually he wanted to ask what the meaning of the words of the foreign man he met in the parking lot, but at this time Miya did not have the courage to ask him and he was sure his uncle was also not wanting to talk about it. Miya looked at the back of her uncle who was walking quickly in front of her. ‘’Actually what sad thing did you save in the past?’’ask Miya inwardly.

Miya sighed resignedly. Let his own uncle say it one day, after all, he does not want to involve further in his uncle's personal life.  Miya has arrived at her room door.’’Uncle Fabian, good night!’’ His uncle just nodded, then walked back to his room at the end of the hall.

♪♪♪♪

The sound of the phone rang when Fabian entered his room. Soft voice heard from phone.’’I'm fine ma'am. Sorry I haven't told you in a long time. I've been doing a lot of work lately."

‘’How about Miya?’’

‘’She's fine too. He's happy to live here."

‘’Good. Take good care of Miya! And you don't do anything to her. Do you understand?’’

Fabian laughs.’’What am I gonna do to him? Don't worry I won't do anything to her." The sound of his mother's sigh across the phone made Fabian smile.

‘’Mom trusts you. Have you thought about the woman who will be your future wife. You've received the picture, right?’’

Fabian looked at the table and there lay a brown envelope that had not been opened at all.’’I've seen it,’’the answer is a lie.

‘’She's a very beautiful woman, isn't she? And also very fun . Mom and Dad have known their parents for a long time. We're friends and we expect you to get married."

‘’Married? I don't want to talk about marriage right now. Anyway I don't want to be in a match."

‘’Come! Look at you are no longer young until when you will continue to live single. Don't keep thinking about your dead wife. You must get married and give us beautiful and handsome grandchildren. We have chosen a woman who is perfect for you. I'm sure if you meet for sure you'll like it a lot."

‘’Mother, I beg you not now. Understand!’’

‘’Or you already have your own choice. Who is he?’’

Instantly his mind floated to Miya. A girl who had caught his attention from the beginning. ’’If it's there, I'll bring it to you soon." Fabian immediately hung up his phone feeling annoyed.

He immediately opened the brown envelope that had been there for several days untouched. Inside is a photo of a blonde woman and behind the photo is her name. Isabella O’Brian. Fabian immediately threw the envelope containing the photo onto the table.

Fabian stepped onto the balcony door and pushed it open. The night air was cold and humid when Fabian was on the balcony of his room. Her wet hair was blown away by the wind.

 He looked at the darkness of the night, not a single star, but the darkness of the night. Her heart felt sorrow, as it recalled its sad past that had its origins in a woman.

By the time he had already achieved success in his career, Fabian met Clarissa and married the woman. Clarissa was the only woman who touched her heart, because she always paid attention and comforted her when she was sad and in trouble. Without a second thought, she agreed to marry him even though her introduction to Clarissa was only a month away.

At first Fabian expected a happy marriage and a happy family. But all his dreams were shattered instantly.It turns out Clarissa is not like the woman he imagined. He has a demon heart.

From then on Fabian no longer believed in love and only regarded women as the satisfiers of a man's passion and from then on his adventures with a wide variety of women began. His eyes became as dark as the night sky and there was a deep sadness there, as he recalled the events four years ago between himself and Clarissa.

But this time is different, Miya's arrival to her mansion makes her feel back the love of her life. Fabian doesn't plan to fall in love any time soon, therefore falling in love is the problem that's at the top of his list right now and he can't dodge that reality.

At first Fabian was afraid to love a woman, afraid of being hurt again, but he was unable to lie to her feelings anymore. Miya had already stolen her heart from the beginning and it was because of that girl that her world was now a mess. His mind never left the girl.

Fabian wants Miya too much. Even now Fabian already misses him even though it was only a few minutes that he was with him. Fabian came out of his room. Within a minute he was in front of Miya's room, opening the door. The man was happy that the door was unlocked.

In the dimness of the room 'light, Miya was asleep and Fabian looked at her affectionately. She was so beautiful in her sleep whispered her heart. He couldn't bear to not touch the girl.  Finally Fabian got into bed, first he stroked Miya's face as slowly as possible so as not to wake her up, then bent down tracing the girl's face with his lips enjoying her feminine scent, then whispered in her ear.’’I love you Miya, love you so much,’’whispers. He kissed her with feeling. Fabian finally slept next to Miya [].
