Andrew’s statement made a reason for Lance and Mike to tease him more.
Tomorrow is my first day of work as Vince’s stylist assistant. And because I applied as an assistant stylist, I should also be keen with my fashion style.
I have decided to go to the mall and shop for new clothes. And because my four unofficial boyfriends are free, I have decided to tag them along.
But I am not sure if tagging them along is a good idea, because all I could hear from them is their complaint.
“You girls really took so much time in shopping. Why don’t you just buy the whole mall because it seems like it because of the many things you want to buy.” Lance said a bit annoyed.
I just glared at him. But I can also see that the three other guys are also a bit impatient.
“You know what guys I did not force you to come with me okay?! If you want to leave then go ahead no one is stopping you!” I told them then I rolled my eyes on them.
“Why did you rant on us? It was only Lance who keeps on complaining.” Mike said defensively.
I rolled my eyes again. “Yeah right. Even if you guys don’t say it, I know that you also think the same with my cousin.” I hissed at them.
“Chill guys! We were all hungry that is why all your moods were like that. Its almost lunch so its better for us to have lunch first.” Vince said the he grab my hand and pulled me outside the shop.
Before we went out of the shop I heard some girls from the shop murmuring.
“Isn’t not Vince and the girl in the news?” I heard from one of the girls.
“Yes. And it seems like the news is right. That girl is his girlfriend.” Said the other girl.
I was shocked when Andrew removed Vince’s hand on mine and then he pulled me.
“Hey let’s wait for them.” I told him because we are a bit far from them.
We were already in front of a restaurant when Andrew stopped.
“Are you okay?” I asked him while waiting for the three boys.
“Yes.” He coldly said.
“Why did you removed Vince’s hand on mine and then suddenly pulled me earlier?” I curiously asked.
“Why do you want that Vince to put his arms around you?” He asked seriously.
“Hey why are you like that? When you said ‘that Vince’ it seems like he not your friend.” I commented.
He just hissed .
“Hey Drew its not because I want his arms on mine. Its just that you act too rude earlier.” I tried to explain to him.
“He should be careful with his actions, that why you guys are being in the headline because he is not careful with his action!” He said a bit pissed.
I smiled at him. I can understand his point thought I just feel so comfortable with Vince that is why sometimes I forgot that he is a celebrity that were prone to gossips.
The three have arrived. No one reacted to what Andrew did. We were about to enter a restaurant when someone called him.
“Drew!” The woman called.
We immediately turned to the woman who called him.
The girl smiled at us.
I also saw Andrew smile when he recognized the woman. The woman is beautiful, looks rich and kind.
The woman approached us. As she got closer and closer I could see her beautiful face.
I suddenly felt pain in my chest when I them smiling and looking at each other.
The woman also looked at me. She looked at me from head to toe but I don’t feel offended.
“Hi Iya!” Greetings from the three.
So I therefore conclude they also knew her.
She smiled at them and looked at me again as if she is trying to remember me.
“Hey Iya its rude to stare.” Said Andrew.
She rolled her eyes. “She looks familiar.”
Lance put his arm around me. “Ah maybe in the news. Vince and Alli is the hot topic today. She is Allison my cousin.” Lance introduce me to her.
“I said it was not a date.” I clarified.
I can’t stop them from teasing me. I really don’t like to be teased to a guy especially Vince because we will work together and I don’t want to be misled.
I was shocked when Andrew suddenly spoke. “You know couz I shouldn’t have rejected your suggestion before to buy shares from Vince. You are right. The business that our parents took was wrong.”
Iya frowned. “What are you saying? Don’t you like cars why did you suddenly become interested in media?”
“Nothing. The media looks okay.” Then he went ahead to the restaurant.
We don’t have any choice but to follow him.
“Want to join us?” I heard Vince invited Iya.
“Sure”. Iya said.
We were eating together when Iya suddenly asked me a question.
“Is the issue with about you and Vince were true?” She asked.
“No. We just had dinner then due to work. There is no malice in that.” I explained.
She is kind, like me she also want to work in media. That is one thing that we had in common. I also found out that she is Andrew’s cousin.
“Oh really? You really are famous now Vince because you are being intrigued!” She commented.
“You also quite famous DJ Iya.” Vince said.
I heard one time about Andrew’s cousin who works as a DJ in a radio station. They don’t really like listening to radio but because of Iya, they listen to Iya’s radio program. I got curious so I also listen to the said radio program.
That program of her is good so I always listen to it. I was thinking of calling her program when I had a problem with my love life because she and DJ Mavin were good at giving advice.
“Oh yes! I also heard that you also have a secret admirer. So you already have a love life!” Mike started with his teasing job.
Mike looks like he has a new victim.
“Did you know who is that M. J.?” I asked Iya.
That M. J. is the one who always sends gift to her. She always give thanks to her supporters who send gifts in their studio. And everyday that M. J. is always included in the list of fans that she is thanking for.
She just shrugged. “I don’t have any idea who he is.”
I frowned. “Don’t you want to know who that is?” I asked her.
Because if it was me, I would be very curious and I would really want to know who that person is. Maybe he is the prince charming that I was waiting for.
We all look to at her to hear what she has to say. I noticed that of all of us, Andrew was the only one who was very serious.
“I want to but it’s not like its really a big deal.” She replied.
My forehead furrowed even more. There seems to be something wrong. Could it be that she likes already like someone else that is why she is not interested to know who the person is?
I saw Andrew’s changed expression. He seemed very satisfied with her cousin’s answer.
“Mavin!” Vince called.
I turned to the person Vince had called. Is he DJ Mav?
“DJ Mav, DJ Iya is here!” Mike said suddenly when Mavin arrived at our place.
So he is DJ Mav. In fairness he don’t only has a handsome voice but he also has a handsome face.
I saw Iya giving Mike a death glare. Is there something going on between her and DJ Mav?
“Oh hi Iya! You guys were here!” Mavin said while oblivious from Mike’s teasing.
“Actually it just us boys and Alli but we also tag Iya along because she looks pitiful alone.” Mike with his teasing tone again.
“What are you saying?! Shut up Mike!” Iya said while rolling her eyes on him.
I think there is really something going on between this two.
“Are you also alone Mav?” Vince asked him.
“Yes. I was just buying something then I notice that it is already lunch time so I decided to eat here.” He explained.
“Wow! So it means if we didn’t saw Iya, you two might have an instant date.” Mike butt-in.
“Stop that Mike!” Andrew said seriously.
This is definitely the other side of Andrew. I didn’t know he was so protective of his cousin. So is he like that to me? He treats me like his cousin?
Suddenly my heart felt hurt at the thought.
“Join us.” Andrew said in an authoritative voice.
We ate quietly and though we sometimes joked.
I found out that Vince is the closest to Iya. Since she also like to work in media, the two got along quickly.
Because I was busy getting to know Iya and Mav, I didn’t eat much. And Andrew seems to have noticed that.
He put a lot of food on my plate. Can I really finish all that?
“Drew you put too much on my plate.” I said because it looks like he has no intention of stopping putting food on my plate.
“That’s just right. You didn’t eat much.” He replied.
I pouted. I’m on a diet. He is ruining my diet.
“I’m on a diet Drew. I need to lose weight.” I said.
He frowned. “You look so skinny but you want to lose even more weight? What do you want to be a bone marrow?”
My cheeks heated with embarrassment because of what he said. I rolled my eyes on him and ate quietly.
He noticed my reaction so he immediately comforted me. “Hey sorry. I just don’t understand why you need to be in a diet when your body is already good?”
I did not answer I just stared at him. It’s annoying because I feel ashamed of what he said.
“Hey Alli I’m really sorry. Talk to me please.” He said.
I just hissed at him.
“Alli…” He softly said.
I frowned at him. He showed me his pitiful eyes.
I suddenly felt sorry for him. Not to mention her cousin’s teasing smile.
“Okay fine. You can stop the act.” I just said for him to stop.
“Really? You are not angry anymore? You will talk to me now?” He asked.
“I said fine already. You acting like a child.” I said while trying to control my laugh.
I saw him smile and continued eating.
Andrew why are so cute?
“We’re leaving first. Do you want to come with us?” Drew asked Iya when we got out of the restaurant.
“No. I still have something to look at.” Iya said. “Besides, I also brought my car.” She added.
“You’ll go alone?” Andrew asked while looking at Mav, he was very protective.
“Of course.” Iya said.
“If you’re worried about Iya, I can come with her.” Mav butted in.
We all dropped our jaw with what he said.
Drew frowned at Iya and then looked at Mav.
“There’s no need.” Andrew said seriously.
I really don’t expect him to be so protective of Iya. I just hope that he will not be like that to me, I might never have a love life.
“Yes Mav my cousin is right, I can do it alone. Besides, you might be busy.” Iya said that the growing tension between the two seems to be noticeable.
“I insist. I have nothing to do.” Smiling he said.
“Oh so its settled then! Mav and Iya we are going first” I said just to settle the issue.
I did not let Andrew speak and I immediately pulled him away.
“What was that?” Andrew said as I pulled him away.
“Leave your cousin alone. Mav looks kind.” I said.
“Tss. I don’t trust him.” He hissed.
“Well I think you will never trust anyone for Iya because you are very protective of her. Oh no don’t tell you will also be like that to me? I might never have a love life because of you.” I tease him just to divert the topic.
“Don’t worry you will have a love life. I assure you that.” Then he winked.
