Her

"Line... look!"

I look at Julian and saw him holding his Iphone ready to snap some photo of us. Before I heard the camera shutter sound, I felt Jazz leaned in and felt her lips on my cheek. I smiled.

"So candid." he said.

"Lian may I?" reaching for his phone.

Julian lend me his phone. I must say, me and Jazz looked awesome.

"Omigosh! I so have to post that one!" Jazz said excitedly. "We looked so adorably hot" she added.

Julian grab his IPhone and shielded it away from Jazz' hands.

"Get your hands off my phone! That photo is mine to treasure!" Julian said while Jazz complained.

"Aww. I thought I can post it too." I looked at Julian and gave him my best puppy eyed look with the pouty lips.

Julian looked at me. And then groaned. Handed me his phone.

Jazz laughs hysterically then paused. After that she looked at Julian seriously then said... "Whipped".

We laughed together.

We partied all night long wearing our Halloween costumes. I'm not really used spending my time at bars, partying. I find it tiring. But not tonight. It was amazing. Something I want to experience for a while. I will forever treasure this weeklong liberty they've given me. I missed this. I missed having life.

After dancing, chatting and drinking some 'light-weight' drinks as per Julian, we went out for some fresh air. Strolling around the block with city lights at autumn night. Walking around peacefully. Enjoying our privacy with different people around us without having some security gurads. It was refreshing. I missed this freedom.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Julian said.

"What can I buy with a penny?" I joked.

"Well... I forgot you have a lot of money" Julian said chuckling. "I should think of a better offer next time."

"Bribe her with more vacation trip involving extreme adventures ." Jazz whispered.

"You're really cool." He said.

"She's perfect in your eyes." Jazz teased Julian. I keep walking when I heard Jazz laughing while saying..."O... haha my gosh! Haha Juls... hahaha... blush... haha .. shing!"

I turned to look behind and saw Julian's red as tomato face. 'So cute...' wait... did I just thought of that? Well... it's not like somebody's reading my mind right now eh?

"Shut up!" Julian said. "Course she is! She's perfect in everybody's eyes" he emphasized 'everybody'.

"Especially you" countered Jazz. Then the non-stop bantering begins. If I haven't known any better they look like twins actually. Almost the same facial features and same complexion. It's only the height that differed.

"Oh we should drop by tomorrow to a cafe house, you'll gonna love it." Jazz said. "And..." she hesitated. She pulled something in her bag, it looks like a white controller with some psp looking like monitor. She handed it to me.

"What's this... is this?" I asked.

Jazz held me by shoulder and said "turn around".

I did and saw Julian holding it.

"...a Drone.." I said breathlessly.

"And it's yours. Happy birthday Line." Julian smiled.

"Shut up!" I said. I just realized I shouted at him. So embarrassing.

Sometimes I really forgot to filter my choice of words.... Then I remembered what he said.

Oh dear Lord.

"No way!" I exclaimed. Julian just nod while beaming his beautiful smile. I was so happy but hesitant.

"But that thing is so expensive!" I said. "And we only know each other for 3 days!"

"What's wrong with that?" Jazz said.

"It's just... if I accept this, I will look like a materialistic girl... and.." looking down on my shoes.

"I know this gonna happen. Okay Line, first of, I'm gonna be sad if you don't accept my gift. I really worked hard for it." I heard him said. I frowned and looked up.

"I never asked you to buy me anything."

"Yes of course but I want to. I'm looking forward in meeting you. To hangout with you. And I know that Jazz already told you that I adore you for like... um, since your first major movie." He scratched his head.

"I did not!" Jazz lied.

Julian just crossed his arms. He just gave Jazz a look of... 'I know you Jazz.' Then he turned his face to me again.

"Second, if it makes you feel better. It'll be my gift for you for the whole year." Smartass. "Just accept this one. I will never ask for anything in return. I promise you that."

I can see through him. I cannot explain how but it's like I can read his soul. I know he is really sincere giving me something that's so expensive. He didn't buy it to impress me with his status in life. In the short period of time, I can say that he is genuinely nice person. Very humble one. He just really want to make people happy. It's what he does. I smiled.

He eyed me... "Well..?"

"Okay"

Then walks towards Julian. Look him in the eyes then said "Thank you" before I leaned in and gave him a kiss on his cheek.
