A Night with Gideon

Chapter 19

Her hand is small compared to Gideon’s but it was strangely fit for each other. It’s just like now that the

two of them were holding hands while they were inside his car parked in a slightly hidden part of the

parking lot. “My flight is almost here,” he told Gideon who still couldn’t let go of his hand.

His lips protruded into a frown. He had been in her car for almost an hour doing nothing but holding her

hand and occasionally stealing a kiss from her.

“I was thinking to just pulling you out and training under my wings so that you cannot keep leaving

whenever you have a flight.” He lightly flicked her piercing nose. “I came here to be a flight attendant.

Not to be your employee in the office.”

He played with her fingers before firmly kissing the back of her palm. “I know,

Strawberry. I shouldn’t be a hindrance to your dreams.” He looks at her, this time he has a small smile

on his lips. “What time is your flight? Is it nine-thirty?” 1 “Yes,” she answered and touched the collar of

his formal white long-sleeve. “I came back here at five in the afternoon. It only takes a few hours.”

“Yeah, yeah. And I should work in that hour so I can be with you later.”

She took a deep breath before holding Gideon’s hands. He also caressed her clean jaw before looking

directly into her eyes. “Let’s eat outside later,” he invited to which she immediately nodded. The corners

of his lips are still up and his eyes are twinkling mischievously.

In normal days, she will tease him or she will flick his forehead because of his naughty thoughts.

However, that time he just looked at her seriously and caressed her cheek with his hand. 1 “I want to

tell you something later,” “Alright. Whatever it is.”

He smiled at her and then looked at the wristwatch he was wearing. “I need to go.” He was not

surprised when he leaned closer to him and then planted a kiss on his lips. “Take care.”

He nodded and then got out of his beloved car. He took his suitcase from the trunk of his car and then

smiled at Gideon who was looking at him in his side mirror, They have been dating for almost a week

now. After what happened between them in Davao, he never let her go. He insisted that they should

date which she finds strange because nothing really happened to them in Davao. They just kiss and

make out, until

just there. He didn’t take her all the way. What the reason was, he didn’t know. He seems to be

stopping himself that night. He, on the other hand, was slightly ashamed of himself because he knew

that he was ready to open up when he went all the way with him. 1 And jeez! This time, there is no

other reason. There is no money involved or mutual intentions. It was pure feelings between them.

The question is, are there feelings? He does not know! It doesn’t say anything and he doesn’t say

anything to it. They fall into a pseudo-relationship.

They have but they don’t. They do things that couples do, but they don’t have labels. He didn’t hear

anything from Gideon, not even a simple ‘I like you’. Even she didn’t tell him that she likes the man

even though that’s how she feels. In all her life she has never had a boyfriend. He didn’t know how that

relationship worked, that’s why he was content with what was between him and Gideon. There is no

commitment, no obligation and he will not be hurt if this is all just a game with the man.

Their relationship is not a secret but it is private. He hasn’t told anyone yet but he knows his colleagues

already have a hint because he often catches them gossiping about him. He just shrugged his

shoulders because he was not affected by it. There is no evidence that she is flirting with CEO Vesarius

so that he can get a high score in internship

He noticed the commotion in the back. His classmate was talking to a foreign man. The old man was

talking in French and it seems that Nika couldn’t understand well what the passenger was saying. He

understands and can speak a little bit of French because he really stayed up late to read and memorize

the book that contains the basic French language. “Je veux du vin de fraise.

Pas de café. Je le veux froid et j’accuse du croissant,” his voice spoke loudly to Nika, who was still

blinking because the passenger didn’t quite understand what he said due to the speed of his speech.

“Again, Sir. Do you speak English?” The passenger seemed annoyed because the two could not

understand each other. “If I am not mistaken, you are asking for wine and croissants, Sir, right?” he

groaned and grabbed Nika’s arm to tell her that he would back her.! “Ouí,” he nodded which means

‘yes’. “This woman does not know how to communicate well with passengers.”

“I apologize for that. We are still learning your language. We’ll put additional croissants to your request

for compensation,” he replied patiently to the man. The man seemed satisfied with what he said,

Nika seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when she left the man’s presence. Thank you for

this

him and he said he would free him to get back at him. It is said that they didn’t really study the book

that they bought so that they can somehow understand the French word even if they can’t speak it. The

woman is also a working student at night.

Her days went well. She enjoyed taking care of the passengers and helping them put their luggage at

the overhead bin wheels. He had three domestic flights that day before five o’clock finally arrived. He

immediately went straight to their locker room to get his things that were left there. He could feel the

looks thrown at him by his batch mates who were just across the locker.

“I won’t be surprised if when the finals come, he has the highest grades search among us. And of

course, he was immediately accepted by this company.”

“Are you the one to have a relationship with the CEO? No longer embarrassed, you really won the

highest one.” He gave them a glance and one of them immediately turned on him when he saw that he

was looking at his group.

He recognized them. That’s what Quincy Mae was looking at in the other section, He didn’t pay

attention to them, instead, he took the cell phone and turned it on. “Isn’t she a single mother?

Does she hope that Sir Gideon will be the father of the child?

him?”

“Maybe Sir doesn’t know that there is a child. Because it’s flirty.”

He wants to laugh at what he hears. If she was the former Lyzza no from high school, she would

probably have made amends. But Jessica is absolutely right, having a child makes you mature. Then

again, they just look stupid because Gideon is actually Summer’s daddy.

“I’m sure, Sir will just throw that away when he gets fed up. Which is not far from happening because

something is already hanging.” Laugh at them. 1. “Hey, town witches and have a supply of lip balm.

Why are you gossiping about Ate Lyz again? Is there a fee for that? Are you a millionaire?” Quincy Mae

snapped, her mouth hanging open again. “Can it, this is not gossip. We are not cheap like you. We’re

just telling the truth.” “Where’s your proof?”

He was about to stop Quincy Mae from fighting when the text messages entered his cell phone one

after the other. Almost everything came from his Mom and Caius. Son, it’s Summer. We rushed to the

hospital. The fever increased even more, Almost to a derailment.’

He quickly closed the locker and grabbed Quincy Mae’s arm, who was now tangling with her enemy, to

wean her off.

“You have a lot of money, you have no evidence.”

“I don’t need evidence. I have ears and eyes,”

“Mama mo eyes.”

He pulled Quincy away even more because he was embarrassing the other flight attendants who were

curious about what was happening. There were several seniors so he was even more embarrassed.

“Those cheap ones!” it still whined and

stomped. “Don’t fight,” he ordered and quickly left her. He even heard her asking where he was going?

He was almost running out of the airport. He flagged down the first taxi that came by and took him to

the hospital that his mom texted him. 1 Summer had a

fever last night. It was gone this morning before he left. He said his mother came back and now her Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

baby is almost passing out because of the high fever. His mother and Caius rushed to the hospital. And

that text was sent three in the afternoon. It’s past five in the afternoon.

He was restless in his seat and his midwife was constantly in his hand. He was also crying because he

was so worried about his son. 1 He didn’t get the change from the driver when they arrived in front of

the hospital.

He immediately got down and ran inside. The nurse pointed to the room where her son was. When the

elevator did not open immediately, he went up the stairs, regardless of the high heels of his shoes.

He was panting when he reached the third floor.

He put it out of his mind that he doesn’t want to be in the hospital and that he gets panic attacks when

he’s in it. He quickly looked for Summer’s room number. Without knocking, he opened it only to be

greeted by three pairs of eyes. To his mom, to Caius and to…Gideon.
