✧ BLACK KNIGHT ✧
Immediately the cameras started flashing, Bin spun around pulling her into his arms. Her head collided on his broad, muscular chest and slowly, he brought his palm to her head from behind pressing her head to his chest. Addison gasp lightly feeling a jolt of electricity $h00t through her at the sudden contact.
He wrapped his other arm around her, She could also hear the thumbing of his heart beats. Slowly, she creeped her arms around him also clinging unto him tightly with her face buried in his chest.
Incessant shots continues with millions questions thrown at them which Bin didn’t even bother answering.
“IS THIS YOUR NEW LOVER BIN?”
“WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?”
“LET US SEE YOUR FACE!”
“ARE YOU REALLY DATING THE MODEL VIOLA”
“WHY IS SHE HERE?”
“WHY ARE YOU KEEPING YOUR RELATIONSHIP A SECRET??”
“HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DATING?”
“WHY WON’T YOU SHOW US YOUR FACE?”
“DID YOU REALLY WENT ON A TRIP TOGETHER A WEEK AGO?”
Thankfully, Jia with some securities rushed to the crazy scene. She forced her way into the swarm of reporters like bees getting to Bin.
“What happened?” She demanded.
“Later…get us out of here first” Bin replied still hugging Addison so tightly like a mother bear protecting its cub from predators. It was really a cute sight to see.
“You better give a reasonable explanation later” Jia warned signaling to the securities who whizzed them out of the battalions of hungry reporters.
“Get on!” Bin threw a helmet at her wearing his also immediately they got to the parking lot. Addison immediately wears the helmet getting on the motorcycle also. The engine ignite, and Bin zoomed off with Addison holding onto him very tight.
They couldn’t go back home since reporters are already waiting outside the house for them according to Ashton who called to inform him.
Having no where else to go, Addison suggested they go to her house and Bin had no choice but to concur.
“M! D!!” Addison ran into her parents arms happily on getting back home.
“My honey”
“Sweet daughter”
“I miss you both so d@mn much”
“My baby….we miss you more”
Robin just stood watching the family reunite happily. He had a blank face on as he stares at them.
“M meet Robin. D you remember him right?”
“Wait…isn’t this…”
“The singer!!!” Mr and Mrs Beckett said in unison.
Robin bowed slightly at them while they just watch him with surprise.
“Daughter…he…”
“Don’t worry D…he knows everything already” Addison smiles.
***
After an awkward meal with the Beckett’s, Addison took him to Aiden’s room to stay overnight.
Robin look around the room his eyes scrutinizing everywhere.
He could see several pictures of his hanging on the walls.
“He was really a huge fan of yours” Addison said behind him.
“He told me…he wanted to be like you”
“That is such a stupid wish”
“Why? I think it’ll be great if he could become like you”
“Don’t get over yourself…you don’t know anything about me”
“What exactly are you hiding behind that cold personality of yours?”
“Can you get out? I’ve had a long day…because of someone”
“I will after you answer my question”
“Then I’ll leave”
“Fine…I’ll leave you. Pfft do you have to be so hard?” She mumbles going out of the room.
Bin moves closer to the desk and saw a picture of the real Aiden. He peered at it for a while before shifting his eyes to another. It was a picture of him and his parents.
“You look so happy…” He mutters.
****
Addison came out to the terrace to get some fresh air but was surprised to meet Bin there already.
She made to go to him but then stop and watch him for a while. The image earlier of how he had came to her rescue and protected her earlier replayed in her mind.
She couldn’t help but chuckles.
Bin looked back on hearing her chuckling. His eyes lingered on her for a while with a surprise look on. She was no longer the Aiden he knew. She has now turned to an entire different person.
“Hi” She smiles waving to him. She was no more in his hoodie but in a tank top on bum shorts. She looks so much like a girl now and really looking prettier than before.
He says nothing as she walks up to him standing right in front of him.
“I’m sorry I got you into trouble…again” Addison apologize slowly while he immediately took his eyes away from her.
“As long as you know” He replied larconically.
“Robin…why did you help me?”
“Don’t be_”
“I’m not getting ahead of myself. I just wanna know why you risked all that for me…you were the one who saved me at the studio also right?” She interrupted him.
“I didn’t did it for you”
“Then…for the group?”
“I’ll do anything to protect it”
“That’s means…you’ll be protecting me too from now on…cause I’ll keep getting into troubles and making mistakes putting the band at risk”
“So? You’re happy?”
“Not exactly happy but…the thought of having someone protecting you is…how should I put it? It’s thrilling and exciting.” She smiles at the ground.
“You appeared when I needed you…you’re just like my black knight Robin” she said and he scoffs.
“This would be the last time…I’ll ever something so foolish…this is not a joke newbie. Me keeping quiet about your secret doesn’t mean I agree with you. Don’t become too proud or I’ll just cut you off…i really won’t hesitate to do that” He declared and walk away from her.
“Umm…that cranky knight” Addison puffed walking out of there also.
Robin got to Aiden’s room and sat on the bed signing.
The door opens and Addison walked in also.
“Just why are you being so uptight? This isn’t easy for me also. Is it that hard for you to understand why I’m really doing all these?”
“If you think I’m being uptight then you can just pack your things and leave the band now. Don’t wait until I do it for you”
“You’re mean! How can you have no feelings whatsoever? I wonder how others could put up with you. You think you’re everything just because you’re famous! You think you’re all that”
“What?”
“Truth be told…you’re unbearable times like this. I only asked for a favor. I explained everything to you. The least you could just do is at least have some pity. Is that too much to ask for??”
“Pack your things! You are out of the band Aiden Beckett” He declared going out of the room.
Addison scoffs.
“What does he think he is? He can’t do that to me!he thinks he’s high and mighty just because he can sing well? I’m ain’t going anywhere!! Just watch me!!”
She stomped out of the room angrily to hers.
***
“M! D!! I’M LEAVING!” Addison shouted rushing out of her room after dressing up back as Aiden.
Her parents quickly walks towards her.
“Daughter wait till tomorrow! Why the rush!!” Mrs Beckett quizzed on getting to her.
“I can’t wait M See you again!” She kisses both their cheek running out of the house.
“I think they had an argument. I could hear their voices” Mr Beckett said.
“Likewise…what to do honey…I feel bad for our daughter”
“She’ll be okay…you should trust her” Mr Beckett pulled her into his arms.
“I hope so…my poor daughter”
STARR BOYZ APARTMENT.
Addison got back and rushed upstairs. She made to open the door but surprisely it won’t budge. He must have locked it from within.
“Bin! Bin!! Open up Bin!!” She started banging on the door.
“Come on Bin!! Open the door!! Robin open up!!” She continues banging but still yet he didn’t.
“Ugh!” She sighs resting her back against the door.
“Why is he being so difficult? How frustrating…” She stomp her legs on the floor before trudging away from there. She got to the living room and slump on the couch. It was already so late so it’s no surprise either Finn or Ash isn’t in sight. They must have gone to bed.
She yawned for the third time before laying her back on the couch.
“Rubbish knight…” She mutters closing her tired eyes.
NEXT MORNING.
Ash was the first to wake up among the guys. He yawned walking to the living room and was surprised to see Addison on the couch. The position she was sleeping would remind one of a full grown foetus.
He shakes his head looking at her.
“What a strange dude…why is he sleeping there?” He moves closer in attempt to wake her up but then stopped on remembering the other day at the practice room.
Slowly, he bent down in front of her. Her short hair was messy which indicates she must have ran her fingers through it several times.
He took his time studying her very well.
“Is it really acceptable for a guy to be this pretty?” He thought.
“Newbie…you’re one weird dude…something is definitely going on with you and I must find that out. I really can’t afford being left curious…I’m Ashton after all.” He mumbles
“I need to find out the matter with you” He brought his hand to her chest and unbutton her shirt button.
“No $h|t Sherlock!” He whispered in shock.
