Chapter 97 - Sounds Familiar

"Stop! "

"Zheena, don't you want to spend the night with your husband? Do that later. Hurry up or you can't pick up some clothes at home anymore. " Cherry urged them to start their escapade with those annoyed look.

The two long lost lovers giggled as they reluctantly parted. While changing into new set of clothes, Cherry booked them a hotel suite with a seafront view. She chose the one with two connected rooms so that the two could have a privacy and she would not necessarily book another room for her. In case Hayri would spy on them, the fact that there were three of them in a room, would likely spare them from his suspicion.

Soon after that, they were already inside their suite wherein its floor-to-ceiling glass windows gave them the splendid view of the sun on top of the sky, the sparkling blue sea and the green island which outlined the horizon.

Allie stood up by the window and watch the magnificence of the silent world in front of her. Ajie then approached her and hugged her from the back.

"How I wish we could be free and I could hold you like this anywhere."

Ajie started to vent out his laments on their fate.

"Feel free to do anything anywhere inside this suite. I will be locking up in my room the whole time. " Cherry rolled out her eyes on Ajie who grinned widely at her announcement.

Zheena giggled at this, thankful of her generousity to provide them the freedom of their short - lived enjoyment.

"Shall we start? " His eyes flickered with desire as he looked at her from above her head.

"Start what? " Allie's brows narrowed, unable to grasp his intention.

"Start on what Cherry suggested." Before Allie could answer, she was already lifted up into the air and was placed down in the middle of a large bed.

Without delay, he started again his long, craved - out rituals while catching up on the things they both missed out in those long, five years.

What's being unique about them was that they could talk out normally in the middle of their most treasured marital activity. In fact, their best conversations were those that were being carried out in bed, pausing only when the flames they both lit up in themselves were about to explode until it would die out temporarily. They could stay like that for long hours, talking and caressing each other until they would be again heated up.

Early the next morning, they got up with heavy hearts because after their breakfast, Ajie would then be leaving. To maximize the time to be alone, they had their breakfast in their small dining table, just enough for the three of them.

To divert the sad atmosphere into a lighter air, Cherry touched up on business, completing their missed out details due to Allie's hyperventilation.

"Don't worry, Che! I'll keep in touch. This is my wife's business so I will surely take this seriously. I can always visit here every now and then. "

Just as they were about to wrap up, Allie's phone rang. And as expected, it was Hayri, announcing that he cancelled off his flight last night and would be arriving in two hours.

"Call me again once you will arrive. Were going somewhere so I couldn't tell where exactly I will be at that time. " Allie kept on stealing glances at Ajie the whole time she was answering Hayri. She hated the feeling of seeing him hurting.

"Adrian, just a little more patience. After our graduation, I will be going home. I will be there on the ship launching. " She coaxed him up like a sulking child, placing both of her palms in chest while looking pitifully at him.

"Aren't you going to invite me? " He said in a mixed emotion of sadness and jealousy.

"I want to but I can't. I don't want to hurt you on that day. Hayri will also be celebrating it. " Her tears had started to escape from her eyes and Ajie couldn't stand it. So, despite the pain it brought him, he still gathered her to his arms and let her feel that he understood.

Arriving an hour earlier than the allowable time to check in, the three stayed at a coffee shop inside the airport. To avoid suspicion, Ajie sat beside Cherry while Allie sat across him, holding his hands under the table. Cherry tried hard to bring out humorous topics because she was sure, Allie wouldn't be able to hold back herself. The airport is the loneliest place for those who leave and those being left while it is the opposite for those who are reunited.

"Zheen! Cherry! " A familiar voice coming from the lobby's side startled them.

Hayri bent down to kiss Cherry's cheek first to acknowledge her presence and for his respect on her as Allie's bestfriend. Anticipating she would be the next, Allie glanced up sideways, ready to kiss him on the cheek. However, to her guilt and annoyance, Hayri angled out his face and kissed her on the lips!

In her shock, her eyes widened but she was not able to react right away.

She stole a glance at Ajie and his eyes seemed to emit fire and brimstone already. Before she could push Hayri out, he straightened up and sat beside her. Cherry started to feel uneasy for both of them but Hayri seemed to be insensible of their reactions.

"I miss you so much, babe! " Hayri looked at Allie tenderly and those beautiful eyes of him spoke of how honestly he missed her.

Allie sighed slowly and deeply, calming out her fears that Ajie might not be able to keep his rising temper.

"How did you know I'm here?"

"Through mental telepathy. " He chuckled softly before he corrected his statement. " I checked your location the moment we landed. "

Hayri then looked up and nodded at Ajie while simultaneously extending a hand at him.

"Please pardon my disturbance. " I am Hayri Dioko, a friend of these two ladies. "

With a long stretch of a repressed anger, he answered. "I'm.. "

"He's Adrian Gonzaga, my bestfriend. " Cherry butted in before Ajie could even start his introduction. "

Hayri seemed to be in a deep thought before he commented.

"Sounds familiar! "
