She held Jeremy's arm lightly as they walked into the building. A man quickly approached them and led the way to the hall. Ryn did not speak a word when she saw several media waiting outside the hall, where the organizer set up a sort of red carpet with a wall of the brands sponsoring the event so the guests could take pictures.
Ryn wanted to let Jeremy has the 'stage' with the media but he refused to let her go. So, she stood beside him as they let the cameramen took their pictures.
"Jeremy, over here," a reporter called with a wave of his hand.
Jeremy turned to smile at Ryn, asking her silently if it was alright for them to go there together.
Ryn's reply? She smiled and gave a slight nod, agreeing to be with him for the interview session.
She stood beside him patiently, watching as he answered the questions. It was not a surprise when so many reporters started to ask him questions; regarding his career as a businessman and even as a singer. And then, well, to her expectation actually, the question touched about her too.
"Catherine is my other half," Jeremy introduced proudly. He did not want to give her a girlfriend label when he felt like she was more than that. Besides, according to his grandmother, he would soon call her his wife so introducing her as a girlfriend when the title would soon change into wife was not be appropriate nor fair to her.
"You mean..."
"When the time is right, we will announce it," he said as the hand wrapped around her waist tightened. He was so proud introducing her as his and this also was a warning to other men not to think of stealing her away. He would not allow anyone to even have the notion that she was in the market.
The reporters then turned their attention to Ryn. As she was used to working in front of the cameras, she did not find it hard to stay calm and answer the questions. Of course, things that she was not comfortable sharing with others, she just gave a vague answer or push it to Jeremy to answer.
The reporters, sensing that the couple would not indulge much in their relationship, could only swallow their regret and thanked the couple for giving their time.
Jeremy gave them a nod and brought Ryn into the hall where the others were at. Two women were waiting at the door to register their names.
Ryn did not hand her shawl to the girls. She just smiled and followed Jeremy to their table with another girl showing them the way.
Jeremy pulled the chair for Ryn and then sat beside her. He answered the questions from those in the table. They were at the table as the event would start soon. Later on, they would start walking around to socialize and network.
Soon enough, everyone looked at the stage when a man stood there with a microphone.
He was the emcee of the event. First, he greeted everyone and introduced himself. Then, he welcomed everyone to the event before he invited the chairperson of the NGO for the welcoming speech.
Everyone gave a polite clap as an elder man walked to the stage.
The man introduced himself as Clark and thanked everyone for coming. He also talked about the event and why it was held. He did not talk too long and after thanking everyone for coming, he handed the microphone back to the emcee.
Ryn could no longer stay focus on what was happening on the stage when waiters started to bring in the food. It was 10k per head so the food was quite luxurious.
But what made Ryn a bit mad was that for this type of food, the amount per person was so little, she had no doubt she would not feel half-full. She glanced at Jeremy sadly and her boyfriend just gave him a reassuring smile and a pat on her thɨġh. He would bring her to eat more later if she was still hungry.
With a relieved sigh, she started to enjoy the food. She was not worried now about being hungry when she went to bed tonight.
And again, she just smiled and listened to the conversation as she ate her food.
Once the dinner was over, the guests started to move around. Ryn wrapped her arm around his and let him lead the way as he socializing. Of course, she did notice that he was showing her off to everyone whom he spoke to. It was kind of cute in an embarrassing way.
Despite her exhaustion and it was even too hard to keep her eyes open, he knew she would demand the food to fill the empty space in her stomach. He already has an idea where they should go for their supper.
She did not even stir once she closed her eyes. His car smelled so nice, it made her feel so relaxed that she dropped her guard automatically once she entered it. Of course, that and the fact that she was exhausted.
As it was already late, there was not much traffic. The car slid along the road smoothly.
Jeremy glanced at her a few times, even smiled seeing how she made use of the shawl as her mini blanket. With his one hand holding the steering carefully, he used his other hand to reach and hold her hand.
This felt so nice. Only the two of them were in the car alone without a lamppost aka Mika. He wished that his little sister could understand that it was important for him to be alone with Ryn in order to make their love grow but sometimes it was hard to make Mika understand. She only did what she wanted to do and as the little princess of the family, it was hard for Jeremy to get what he wanted, which was to have Ryn alone without any interruption.
The car was not heading to either his home or hers. In fact, it headed to another place, a favorite of hers actually. He reduced the speed when the car turned right into the drive-through of the restaurant.
McDonald. Her favorite fast food restaurant opened 24-7 and offered the best French fries she ever had. And he, being her other half, would only buy things she liked.
He did not wake her up when it was time to order. He knew what she liked and he ordered them with the amount, to others were too much, but for her just nice. He only took two full large sets while the others were ala carte.
She did not wake up once, even when he picked up the order. He arranged everything at the back passenger seats carefully so as not to disturb her sleep.
He grinned wolfishly as he drove the car as if they were heading back to the hotel where they just attended the charity dinner. Of course, they were not heading to the hotel but to his place. Yes, the fast-food restaurant was on the opposite side of both their houses. It did seem like they were returning to the hotel but they were not.
He would bring her to his home as it was closer. It was after all already late at night so she would not scold him for not sending her home.
They arrived at the underground parking lot. He did not shut off the engine but just pulled the handbrake to lock the car in the parking lot. He turned and leaned closer until their lips met gently.
He pressed his lips twice before she sighed. It was the chance he was waiting for and without wasting any more seconds, he coaxed her to part her lips so he could deepen the kiss.
"Hmm... J?" she asked drowsily. The kiss really woke her up from her slumber. To think she thought she was dreaming of kissing him, only to realize that they were kissing for real when she opened her eyes. She was surprised to see him but at the same time, she was glad to see him so close to her. However, as she just woke up, she could not remember where they were and why they were together. Were they in a car?
"We have already arrived, love," he whispered against her lips.
"Where?" she asked without thinking. Her mind was still fuzzy.
"What were you dreaming about? Were you dreaming about me?" he asked as he ċȧrėssed her cheek gently.
"Hmm..." she nodded her head before was rewarded with another kiss for her honesty.
"Let's go upstairs."
She looked around and realized where they were. But as he already made her feel excited, she did not scold him for bringing her there. She reached down to get her clutch and then when she wanted to undo the seat belt, she noticed the food at the passenger seats at the back. She looked at him with a sweet smile. She was never worried about her meal when she was with him.
He gathered all the food and then led the way to the elevator.. She followed beside him, holding to her clutch and shawl.
