Chapter 8：Don’t Hug My Princess Like Your Girlfriend

In Athena house. She was watching the concert and when the camera start to show Aslan face and suddenly a bouquet of rose come out from the backstage, she close her eyes. Her heart feel hurt just by seeing those moment.

She leaned her head to the couch.

"Don't watch it if you can't take it." Zoro take the remote control and turn it off.

He then slouched beside her and pass her a glass of warm milk.

She still froze on her sit without taking the glass from him.

"Do you really want that flower badly?" he ask and put down the glass on the table.

Athena still didn't reply him.

"Okay..wait here, I call my gardener to pluck the rose from my garden. It's a high quality rose you know.." he took out his phone.

When he want to bring the phone to his ear, Athena immediately grab her hand and turn off his phone.

Take the glass on the table, she drink her milk that he prepared for her.

"Your rose is too precious to give it to me."

Smirking, he said "If it is can make you happy, I don't care about the price at all."

She tilt her head to him. "Hmm. But, you do know that I don't like rose, right? And you don't even have a rose back in your house too."

Zoro laugh. "You didn't buy with my flirting word?"

"It's because I know you for years. Don't underestimated my instinct skill."

Ruffles her hair he said. "You really something."

"Okay..I'll be back to my home now. I'll pick you up at 10 am tomorrow. Oh, wear something like navy blue." he said before he stood up and take the empty glass from her hand.

"And why is that?"

Wash the glass, he reply her "I want to wear that color. So our color will match tomorrow." he chuckles with his reason.

"Huh? I don't have that color in my wardrobe."

"Haha.. then red?"

"Erm..too striking."

"That's better."

"Okay. I'll go now. Bye." Zoro wear his coat and hat before he went out from the house leaving Athena in the living hall.

…

After the concert, Aslan went to pick up Jye Yin at the backstage. He waiting for her to get change her clothes. They need to use other route to avoid a thousand fans which is still waiting at the gate.

After she done, they went to his black Roll Royce. The window is black tinted, and there also a few bodyguard cars escorting them out to the hotel.

In the car, Aslan tell her about the bouquet of the rose which is not coming from him.

"You know who give you the flower?" he ask.

Jye Yin shake her head. "No. Maybe just one of my fans."

"But, why they need to use my name?" Aslan sound a bit serious.

"I don't know. Maybe they try to match-making us?"

"I don't like that. Using my name like I was a joke. Next time, when it happen again, I'll make sure to sue that person."

Jye Yin swallow her saliva.

It's was her who plan it. She ask her manager to pass the bouquet to the crew, so that the crew will believe it was from him. She do that is actually to make sure the whole country including Athena will know that Aslan is hers. And only be hers. No one else.

She put on the smile. "Relax..I'll make a statement tomorrow to clear up your name."

Aslan sigh. "No need. What people will say if you do that. It will faded away in a week or so.."

"Hmm..okay.." she smile inwardly.

…

The next morning,

Athena wear a black leather jacket with a chiffon black tank top inside. With a black pants and a high cut boots, she look so amazingly stunning.

Ding Dong!

She run to open the door. "Hey princess." he halt his pace and lowered his sunglasses a little bit.

"Wow. Is this my princess or did I come to a wrong house?" he ask when seeing Athena was so..stunning. It's been such a long time since he saw her dressing up like this.

"No, you come to the right house." she went inside and take her leather gloves and her full-face helmet.

"I feel like I wanna ride my superbike. Did you bring your car?" Athena ask and she went to the couch to take her black backpack.

"Nope. Me too bring my superbike. I just had a feeling that you wanna go for ride a bike." he said. It's true, he had a feeling like Athena will ride her superbike. She always do that when she feels sad.

Seeing her face last night, he could guess what she will do for today.

"Good then. Let's go." she put on her gloves.

When they stand at each other bike, Zoro rev the engine.

"Be careful."

She nod.

..

Both of them ride the bike to the shooting center that is located a bit far from the busy city. It is a bit hidden place and can only be access by the privileges member only. Which means, only a rich people can go in there.

They arrive at the same time as Aslan and Jye Yin. Aslan and Jye Yin go by Aslan's sport car. They park a little bit near to the bike parking sport.

When Athena take off her helmet, her hair is a bit messy and both of them laughing to see each other face after take off their helmet.

Her laugh caught Aslan's attention as he turn to look at the voice.

"Look at your hair! Looks like you just being struck by the lightning..hahaha.." Zoro laugh seeing her messy hair.

"And your hair?? just like a lion. Here, help me brush my hair." she pass him a hair brush and turn her body around.

Take the hair brush, he still giggling. "Alright princess, don't get mad yet."

The word 'princess' he just said make Aslan's heart thumping more harder. That man voice is a bit familiar to him and so the girl. However, he couldn't see the girl's face clearly.

"As..What's wrong?" Jye Yin ask him. She tug her hand to his shirt.

"Uh- nothing. I thought I seeing things." he said and went inside together with Jye Yin.

When they walk to the VIP room, all the eyes fix on both of them.

"Aslan!" Yu Luan, twin of Yu Zhin hug him followed by Adrian, shake hands with him and he turn to look at Jye Yin before he look back at him.

Aslan feel a bit awkward seeing his brother in-law gazed at him. However, he didn't say anything either. Lee Zenith also shake hand with him.

Jye Yin look at all mans group, she then ask Yu Zhin about Crystal and Adrian's wife.

"Crystal had something to do, so she couldn't join us." Yu Zhin reply to her.

"My wife also can't come due to her pregnancy. So I suggest her to stay at home and rest." Adrian said and smile a bit.

"What about Aurora? She didn't join us for today?" she ask again.

This time all of them turn to look at her and then secretly look at Aslan.

"She still in honeymoon mood with her husband." a female voice answer her question.

Jye Yin and Aslan turn to look at the owner of the voice.

Aslan was stunned to look at her right now. She look so different from the last time they met. Her hair was shorter and they way she dress up..was so not like her at all. The fragile and soft girl he had known.

"Sis Athena!" Lee Zenith run to her and hug her.

"Zenith.." she smile happily and return the hug.

Soon, Zoro release both of them from hugging each other. "Hey, you already grown up. Don't hug my princess like your girlfriend."

Adrian and the twin smirk a bit before they shake their head looking at them.
