PHIL’S HOTEL ROOM**
Scarlett was around Phil’s body. They were both watching a Netflix series on the huge TV.
“Hold on” Phil muttered and stood up.
Scarlett sat upright.
“Where are you off to?”
“The washroom” He smiled.
Scarlett nodded.
Phil walked away, and opened the smaller door, which led him into the washroom.
He closed the door, and turned on the facet of the sink.
He slowly took his eyes to the mirror before him.
He had been holding the tears for so long. He turned the facet the more, allowing more water gush out from the tap, and the sounds of it, filled the washroom and out.
Phil face turned red immediately, and tears ran down from his eyes.
He sobbed and made muffled sounds.
He had been trying to act strong for so long, but now,, He couldn’t help it.
Remembering last night, brought sorrow to his heart.
He sat down on the floor, still crying.
FEW MINUTES LATER**
Phil stood up, sniffed, and wiped his eyes with his palm.
He took his opened palms to the water, and poured it on his face.
“Ouch. So cold” He muttered. written by sommy pearl f. on fb
He washed his face thoroughly and dried it, switched off the facet and walked out.
“I didn’t waste time, did I?” Phil asked.
He walked closer to Scarlett.
“Wait,,, Are you crying? Why??” Phil asked, worriedly and rushed to her.
He began to wipe away her tears.
Scarlett sniffed and pointed at the TV.
“He died. Aiish! So painful” She said.
“Who?”
“The main antagonist of course,, Santiago” She replied.
Phil giggled.
“Thats why you are crying? Not like it happened in reality”
“I got attached to his character already” She whined.
Phil smiled, and hugged her close.
“Its okay, babe”
“Hmm…Hmm” She nodded and hugged him back.
“Let’s go tomorrow” He whispered.
“Where? Korea?”
“No…To the restaurant you wished for”
Scarlett blinked her eyes.
“Okay” She mumbled.
THE NEXT DAY, VERON’S RESTAURANT**
Scarlett slowly ate the piece of meat, and looked at Phil, who ate gently too.
He looked up at her, and she took her glance away.
“How’s the food?” He asked, cooly.
Scarlett looked at him, with a warm smile.
Nodding, she replied;
“Nice…”
He nodded, and they both quietly returned back to their food.
“I’m glad you like it. I love it as well” He said, and Scarlett smiled, briefly.
They were dressed elegantly and fitted, like every lovers would, in a date.
Phil took her plate, and chopped off the pieces of her meat, before pushing it gently back to her. written by sommy pearl f.
“Thank you” Scarlett smiled.
“You’re welcome” Phil smiled back.
He looked back at his plate, and it was that moment, Scarlett stood up, and quickly pecked his hair.
Phil quickly looked up at her, in suprise.
“Thank you for making this wish come true” She muttered, with glassy eyes.
THE NEXT DAY, KOREA**
“The flight was longer than expected” Scarlett said, as she got down from the taxi.
“Swears” Phil sighed.
“So,,, work starts on Monday” Scarlett turned to him, holding her luggage tight.
Phil nodded.
“Or,,, you wanna rest?”
Scarlett chuckled.
“I’m fine”
“Okay then” He heaved.
“I’ll see your mother soon, but for now,,, I need to meet with my parents,, especially dad”
“Oh,,, okay then” She said.
He waved, entered the taxi which drove off.
Scarlett smiled and moved to the gate, opened it and went in.
She unlocked the door and strolled in.
“Mum!! I’m back”
“Daughter!!” Marie gushed, running to the sitting room.
“Be careful” Scarlett giggled, and went to her.
Immediately, Marie felt her daughter’s body, she hugged her tightly.
“I really miss you” Marie said.
“Me too,, mum” Scarlett replied.
