Isaac Gray Holster Elizalde’s POV
“Do you know who Mattel Dela Merced is?” I asked Vivian as she was surveying the wall.
"Since when did you start getting interested in a rock band?" She replied, not paying attention to me as she continued sketching on her pad while we were inside the building.
Rock band? Hell! So, that guy is a famous singer of a rock band? Famous yet I haven’t heard of him so he must not have been that famous, not to me.
“What’s the name of the band?”
“Crossroad.” She replied.
“Don’t tell me you listen to them?” I frowned.
Damn! Is that the band that Deanara used to listen to? I should check her playlist if she's listening to them. Ugh! I need to investigate that band.
She looked at me in disbelief. “Yeah. You heard it when I played it in your car. They’re awesome!”
I rolled my eyes. Awesome! Really? I don’t even know them or maybe I know and I just don’t want to admit it because I am jealous. Ugh!
“You know them. You just don’t remember their name but they sang the famous song, Sunrise. Do you want me to sing it for you?”
I stopped her. “Nevermind.”
Vivian shrugged. “Why did you become interested in them now?”
"Since he knew that they had a thing."
It was Ethan who spoke behind my back. Finally, he was here with us so Vivian would stop flirting with me. She’s been flirting with me whenever Ethan is not around. That may be the reason why she isn't paying attention to me now and pretending I don't exist because Ethan is here. What a bitch! I am really right about her. I should not get involved with them any longer. Can I just change a family? I hope it was that easy.
"What are you talking about?" I acted that I don't know what he's talking about, but the truth is I am dying to know who the guy is. Okay, I already know their song and I listened to them but I never knew the guy. Tch.
"They? Who?" Vivian curiously glanced at us after finishing her sketches.
"Who else, right?" Ethan turned to me and smirked.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I turned my back, but my bastard brother had no intention to stop teasing me. He knew my weakness. It’s Deanara.
"Then, I will tell you how perfect they are," he chuckled as he tapped my back. I closed my fist and tried hard to stop myself from punching him especially when he said something that made me jealous even though I know Deanara is mine now.
"She flew across the world just to get the man back, dude."
"Are you starting a fight with me?" I said through gritted teeth.
Ethan shook his head. "I am just telling the truth. If I remember, he was also the reason why Dave and her never work out. Probably, the reason, too, why we never work out."
"What are you telling me?" I glared at him. I am just keeping myself calm even though I already want to punch him. I don't want him to think that I am affected even though I am dying to know the real score between them. Damn! Deanara didn't even inform me about this.
Ethan raised his hands signaling defeat although he was still trying to piss me off and I could see how he was enjoying this.
"Nothing, just thinking how you would still work out when he comes back. I mean…well…" He mockingly looked at me. "I'll leave the rest for your mind to overthink."
He left with a smile on his face like he won a lottery. How dare he! Ugh! Now, he has the nerve to actually tease me when he only stole Vivian from me. Damn them!
I need to know that guy. I need to know every guy in her life before Ethan slapped me in the face for knowing a lot of details about Deanara's life. I hate it.
They had a thing and it was perfect?
Well, she's mine now. We're perfect. They were just a thing and we are already a couple.
Speaking of my babe, where the hell is she?
I started calling her again and finally she answered it. I thought something had already happened to her.
"What happened? You made me worried." I said upon hearing her voice.
"Sorry…" She replied in a husky voice. "We were really drunk last night and I just woke up and my head really hurts."
"Where are you?" I instantly replied. "Are you home? I'll be there in an -"
"No. We are still in the hotel. Lyuna is still asleep. She cried so hard last night." She told me over the line. "I hope she'll get better now."
"What happened to them?" I asked although I really don't care because all I wanted to ask is about Mattel. But, it seems inappropriate right now.
"Lyuna and Dio had a big fight because of a girl in Dio's workplace. Dio kept on saying that it was just his friends yet it seems that they have something. When Lyuna told him to stay away from the guy but Dio didn't want to and kept on insisting they are just friends. Lyuna didn't tell me everything. That's all I know, so I guess Lyuna's assuming that they have a thing."
"How about you and Mattel?" I whispered.
"What? What is it?" She asked.
"Nothing. They'll deal with it. Hope they will be fine. When are you coming home?"
"I am still not in the right mind to drive, still dizzy, so we might get--"
"I'll go there. Where are you right now? Do you want something? Any cravings? I'll bring you."
"No. It's okay. Aren't you at work right now?" She stopped me. "Don't bother. I'll be fine and drive home later."
"I can just get you home. You'll get tired from driving."
"And, so are you." She clicked her tongue. "I know you miss me, but I'm fine, okay? Just visit me at home and I think Lyuna still wants to stay until after lunch."
"Are you sure?" I sighed. "I miss you."
"I miss you, too. I'll see you when we're back home. Okay?"
I nodded. "Okay. Just text me. Get some rest now. Don't make me worry."
"Yes. Take care!" She replied.
"I love you." I said.
"I love you, Gray."
She hung up as I sighed. I wasn't able to ask her the things that's bothering me. Well, it's not really a big deal and I think I am making it a big deal yet I really want to know everything about her past life including those people I should be worried about. I trust her but I don't trust the people around her especially if it also includes my brother.
Time was ticking so slow as I waited for the day to end and wasted my time watching and listening to every song of the band. I even stalked every account of that Mattel and watched all of his interviews. However, I don’t have the courage to search their name together because I might see something that might kill my heart. Damn! I am getting jealous. What's more is he’s here, back in Deanara’s life. I need to know about him.
I couldn’t concentrate and I needed to keep myself busy from whatever I was thinking so I decided to go to the Aviation School that I built myself. I started the Aviation School when I was 18 after inheriting a huge sum of money from my late grandmother. I was able to make it a big Aviation School with different branches around Asia and was also able to create an airline of my own. Although, only a few people knew that I owned it because I still put it under our company. Aside from the Construction Firm, our company also ventures in aviation as well as machineries and technologies. Ethan was the one handling everything together with my father and grandfather but everything about Aviation is my business. I would have given up Engineering a long time ago if it weren’t for my grandfather. It’s the family’s legacy to create and build a home for everyone.
All I want is to build a home with Deanara.
“Good morning, Captain!” One of the staff created me. “Are you flying today?”
I nodded.
“Yeah.”
“Do you want me to accompany you?”
I shook my head.
“Don’t worry about me, I’ll handle it myself.”
“Where are you going?” He asked.
I automatically smiled upon thinking of Deanara and even felt butterflies in my stomach which is so cheesy for me to feel. Nevertheless, her mere name gave me a jittery feeling already.
“I am gonna bring home my greatest love.”
