Cherish Love

ANNE ALEXANDRIA CHLOE's POV

It's been two days since that dinner with the La Flair Siblings happened and to be honest, that's also the first time I have experienced that. I mean, I've been invited by other people tons of times already to have dinner with them especially the sons of my parents business partners but all of them are so boring and all the conversation we're having are totally not interesting but that night together with Dylan's siblings… It makes me really so happy… I think it's been a long while since I enjoyed eating dinner like that...

"Kyaaaa!" I heard those girls from our class suddenly yelled that made my eardrums hurt. What's happening?

"Oh my gosh! He's back! Ethan is here!" I heard those girls said that made me stood up from my seat. Really? Ethan is back already? Actually, Dylan has been absent for two days already and even though Dylan was just new here, he has already made many friends that's why almost everyone of our classmates are worried about him.

"Yes, Ethan is finally here again!" The girls yelled once again that made me just sighed. They're talking like that as if I wasn't here though they were lucky that I'm not really his girlfriend but if ever that it was Christian... I might use our family connection to banned them on this school. Hahaha! I'm actually serious. Hahaha!

"Good morning, Ethan!" I heard those girls said as they greeted Dylan who just entered the room with a shocked on his face. I couldn't stop myself from smiling. Oh geez. Look at that face. Hahaha!

"Good morning." Dylan said as he finally regained his composure. Hahaha! Anyways, I don't know why but when I saw him suddenly turns to look at my direction… I don't know why but I feel like my heart suddenly skip a beat. Is it because I have already gotten used to seeing him always that's why when he takes his leave at school, I suddenly missed him?

"Good morning, Chloe…" I heard Dylan said as he smiles at me that made me smile for some reason as well.

"Good morning, Dylan…" I said as I saw him walking towards here and sat beside me. I just took a deep breath before I sit down. It's normal for friends to missed each other, right? So it's just normal for me to miss him because I treated him not only as a brother but also a good friend of mine...

"How are you now?" I asked Dylan who's now bringing out some notebooks in his bag.

"I'm doing fine now. It's actually thanks to your porridge." I heard Dylan said as he smiled at me again. What?

"Are you trying to annoy me, La Flair?" I asked him but I don't know why but I can't stop myself from smiling even though Dylan tease me just now. I saw him chuckled while shaking his head.

"Okay, I'm sorry. Hahaha! But I'll teach you next time, okay?" I heard Dylan said that made me just nod. Okay, I think it's not a bad idea…

"Anyways, where's Nathan?" I heard Dylan suddenly asked before he returned his attention to me. Oh, Nathan…

"He's absent for today because he was called by our grandfather that's why he needs to go back to the Main Mansion as soon as possible…" I told him. Honestly, I am worried to Nathan now because we're just having a usual dinner last night at our house when we suddenly received a phone call from the Main Mansion and when you got called by them then that means, grandfather wants to talk to you about something important. But I wonder what Nathan did this time…

"Oh, I hope he's just fine." I heard Dylan said that made me just nod as I sighed.

"Yes or shall we say that, we hope that he will survive this." I said that made Dylan chuckled. Dylan also came from a wealthy family that's why he understands things like this but I wonder what kind of person is the head of the La Flair family...

"You're crazy… By the way, do you have any appointments today after school?" I heard Dylan suddenly asked. Hmmm…?

"No. Why did you suddenly asked?" I asked him curiously.

"Let's go somewhere. I want to show you something..." I heard Dylan said that made me even more curious.

"Where?" I asked as I saw him smiled genuinely at me. Hmmm…? He looks so happy that it made my curiosity gets up.

"You'll know when we arrived there…" I heard Dylan said that made me just nod. How mysterious you are, Mister La Flair. Hahaha!

"So can I call it a date, Mr. La Flair?" I asked him that made returned his attention to me in surprise. Why?

"Yes… It's really a date, Ms. Ramirez…" I heard Dylan said before he winked at me. Hahaha!

-----◆-----◆-----◆-----◆-----◆-----

I just took a deep breath before I leaned my back in my seat while looking outside the window while Dylan is busy on his phone. Anyways, we already left the school as soon as our class ended a while ago and right now, we're here at the car heading to where that place is. Well, to be more specific, in my car because my personal driver wouldn't allow me to go with Dylan alone so Dylan was the one who came along with us instead and instructed my personal driver on where we are going. Hmmm…? I wonder where that place is ~ I was brought back in my senses when Dylan suddenly speaks.

"Oh, I remembered something!" I heard Dylan suddenly said that made me furrowed my brow.

"What is it?" I asked him while he is sitting beside me.

"I haven't informed your brother about this. Geez. Xander will kill me." I heard Dylan said that made me laugh. Really? Hahaha! He really think so?

"Why are you laughing? Your boyfriend's life is at risk here, you know…" I heard Dylan said seriously while he's smiling so obviously he just want to flirt with me right now because my personal driver is here so might as well play along with his plans, right? And when I turned to look at my personal driver right now, I saw him shocked as he tried to focus on driving. Hahaha! Nice one, Dylan!

"We both know that brother will never do that to my beloved boyfriend…" I said sweetly as I could before I turned to look outside of the window once again. Wait, we just entered a big… Wait, how should I describe this? It's like a big greenhouse and inside it is a beautiful park where there are so many beautiful flowers that made me so surprised. Oh my… This place is so wonderful...

"We're finally here…" I heard Dylan suddenly said that brought back my attention to him while my personal driver parked our car. Wait, there's a park in a big greenhouse-like? I was about to ask him when he suddenly went out of the car and opened the door for me before he offers me his hand to me that surprised me.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go now." I heard Dylan said so excitedly that made me just sighed as I held his hand as I finally went out of the car.

"Where are we, Dylan?" I asked while still looking at the surroundings. I must admit it… This place is so beautiful and wonderful. I have never seen such a beautiful and peaceful place like this...

"At my favorite park." Dylan answered that made me turn to look at him once again. His favorite park?

"Did you know that this is where Xander and I used to play back when we were still kids?" I heard Dylan suddenly said as he gently pulled me to walk towards that beautiful glass-like bench as we both sit there.

"Really?" I asked. Oh wow… I couldn't help myself but feel like I'm now in a fairytale because of how beautiful this place is...

"Yes…" I heard Dylan said that made me returned my attention to him.

"So brother know this place?" I asked him that made him just nod.

"Yes. All our close friends knew about this place." I heard Dylan said that made me just nod. Oh, wow… I have never thought that something beautiful like this exist in this country...

"I didn't know that about my brother…" I said while looking at the flowers that surrounds us. Oh my… These flowers are so beautiful… I stood up and walked closer to the light pink flowers. Wow… I am not a fan of flowers but this flower look so beautiful…

"Do you like that flower?" I heard Dylan suddenly asked me that made me just nod while still looking at this beautiful flower.

"Yes, may I know what's the name of this flower?" I asked him while my attention is still on this flower. I don't know why but I think I'm already mesmerized by it already.

"That's a peony also known as flower of riches and honor…" I heard Dylan suddenly said beside me. Huh? I turned to my right side and I saw him crouching beside me. I didn't notice that he's already here beside me...

"Peony…" I said before I turned to look at this beautiful flower once again. So this is peony...

"Yes and did you know that Diane also love that flower…?" I heard Dylan suddenly said that brought back my attention to him. Really?

"Really? Wow… This is so beautiful..." I said as I gently touched it. Wow… I really like this flower…

"Chloe… May I ask you something?" I heard Dylan suddenly asked me while I'm still looking at these beautiful peonies...

"No. Where's my favorite mont blanc?" I asked as I start to tease him. I turned to look at him once again and there I saw him took a deep sigh before he gave me a smile.

"Inside the basket." I heard Dylan said as he pointed out the basket on the glass-like bench. I stood up and walked back to the bench again and get my favorite mont blanc inside the basket. Oh my! It's so plenty. I am now eating here as I saw Dylan walking closer to me and sat beside me but wait, I thought he wants to ask me something?

"What do you want to ask?" I asked him before I took a bite on my mont blanc. Oh my gosh! This is so delicious! I heard chuckled first before returning his attention to me.

"You said that you don't want me ask you, right?" I heard he said that made me stop.

"Oh come on… I'm just joking, okay? So what do you want to ask me?" I said. My goodness… I didn't think that he would take that seriously. I saw him took a deep breath first before he started to speak again.

"I have heard from Rachel that you got into an accident years ago…" I heard Dylan suddenly asked that made me stopped.

"Ah yes. They say that I was playing at the park at that time and while I'm running around, I was suddenly got hit by a car." I simply said.

"Really? Good thing that nothing bad happened to you that time…" I heard Dylan said but for some reason, I'm not convinced by that...

"That… I'm not totally sure about that." I said seriously that made Dylan turned to look at me in confusion.

"What do you mean?" I heard Dylan asked that made me just sighed.

"They say that my injuries weren't serious that time but my mom told me that I was comatose for almost a week when that incident happened to me but I couldn't help but wonder… Why do I have to be in coma if what had happened to me wasn't serious that time?" I told and asked him that made serious.

"Did you already talked about that to your parents?" Dylan asked once again that made me just shook my head.

"Yes, I did but they said that it's just normal because I'm still young that time but obviously it's not actually normal…" I said because if my injuries weren't serious that time then why something like that happens to me?

"How about your brother?" Dylan asked once again that made me just shook my head.

"He said the same thing..." I said as I saw Dylan just nodded his head.

"Then believe them, Chloe. After all, I know that Xander will never lie to you about something important like that." I heard Dylan said but why do I really have this uneasy feeling that my family is hiding something from me about that incident that time? We're just here sitting beside each other and talking about a lot of things when we suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting my name.

"ALEXANDRIA!" There's only one person who can yell at me like that and when I turn to look at that person… I was right… It's my brother.

"Brother?" I said as I saw him walking so fast towards us.

"Brother, what are you doing here yelling like that?" I asked as he finally reached our spot but I didn't expect the next thing my brother did to me.

"What the hell are you doing here, Chloe?" My brother suddenly asked me in a very scary voice as he grabbed my elbow and pulled me closer to him.

"Huh? D-dylan brought me here…" I said while still looking at me. W-wait a minute… W-why is he so angry right now? W-what's happening to him?

"You did!?" I heard my brother yelled at Dylan that made the both of us shocked. What's happening to my brother?

"Yes, I did, Xander... Why? What's wrong? Isn't this our secret place?" I heard Dylan said seriously. W-what's happening? I was about to speak once again when my brother speaks first.

"We're leaving first, Dylan." That's what my brother said before he suddenly pulled me away from Dylan. Wait! We're leaving already!?

"Brother, what's happening? Why did you suddenly shows up and why did you suddenly yelled at us like that?" I asked him while we're still walking towards the parking but he's still not answering me until we finally reached his car and forced me to get inside that shocked me. M-my brother… H-he's really mad right now… But why? I mean, this is the first time my brother did this to me.

"What's wrong, brother? D-did something happened?" I asked but my brother doesn't answer but instead he just kept quiet as we left their secret place leaving Dylan there alone. Dylan… I really don't have any idea what's happening right now especially to my brother but for sure that he has his own reasons why he suddenly acted like that… But what exactly was it that made my brother yelled at his sister and his best friend?
