He could not stop looking at him, they locked eyes a few times, and each time it happens he gives him a little smile. The thread of fate that's tied into his ring finger is connected to his, which means, they are fated to be with each other, to be lovers no matter what. Him, Belerick Summers, it threw shivers up and down Eliz's spine thinking about that phrase over and over in his head. Anastasia introduced them to each other a few minutes ago, but it sure felt like hours had passed on since the two met, now they are sitting on the VIP lounge reserved extremely for high profile personalities, which mean this opportunity right here is golden. He was brought back to earth by the vibration his phone sent him, it was Romeo, asking where he is, he gave him a call telling him where he is which made Romeo gasp. A few minutes later Romeo was by the door, asked and inspected by the bouncers guarding the green metallic door separating the expo outside, and a new kind of event inside the VIP room. The bouncer asked the young man sitting besides Anastasia, deep within chatting if he knows Romeo, he smiled in surprise, nodding his head yes and quickly got up to personally invite him in. "He's nice." Eliz said to himself. "He is the nicest of the brothers, the youngest of the Summers siblings clearly the smartest too but, has no intention inheriting the while empire." Anastasia said glancing back at him. "I didn't know you know so much about them." Eliz asked. "They are pretty famous Eliz, tho, i'm not surprised you don't know them. I mean you barely care about the world that's outside of your reach." Anastasia mockingly said. She used that very same statement when they broke up not that long ago. Romeo then came waltzing in, arms wrapped around Belerick's shoulder they were laughing and giggling until they reach the table before settling down. "How come i did not know you're running your own company now?" Belerick asked Romeo in his gentle voice. "Well, I had no idea it would last this long, plus, we rarely talk, you've been busy these days." Romeo answered as he sit besides Eliz. "Wow, you two are friends?" Anastasia said in surprise. "Yeah we are, we attended the same university, plus, several mutual friends." Belerick said sipping his cranberry drink. "Yeah, good ol'times. Blake misses you, you know? you've been busy these days." Romeo said raising his drink to Belerick.
"Dude! How come you never told me you were close to a Summers?" Eliz asked lightly punching his best friend in the arms. "Well, I don't like it, it always attracts attention once they know I'm friends with a Summers, plus, i'm not that close with any Summers, just him." Romeo said drinking his whole drinking before grabbing another from a waiter offering drinks to the VIP guests. "Just how much do you know about him?" Eliz asked.
"My father's name is Rafael, and my mom as you may probably know is Sara. I have two older brothers, I'm the youngest." Belerick said as he approached the two. "I'm sorry i did not mean to pry" Eliz apologized. "That's fine, I don't really mind, plus, you are Romeo's best friend, and by records, Romeo's taste in people is one of the best." Belerick smiled at Eliz. Eliz can't stop looking at the tiny thread connecting both of them, he became a little distracted that he failed to notice Romeo has gone off talking to the other VIP guests taking advantage of the opportunity, he turned to look at Belerick who is looking at him expectantly. He apologized for spacing out, making a fake excuse that he is nervous by all the presence of important people around him and asked what was he talking about. "I was actually introducing myself to you, not in a business way, but more of a personal way." He said. His brown eyes were captivating, his soft and luscious lips as they talk were equally distracting. "Oh, then, I'm Elizander Landon, I am, uh, 25 and i develop programs and other stuff." He introduced himself, extending a hand which Belerick accepted.
The moment their hands touch both of them felt it, the electricity that shocked their core. Both of them gasped and quickly pulled away from each other, both looked stunned. Belerick reacted first with a laughter, "i'm sorry, i've been shaking a hundred of hands tonight i think static has build up." He said. He was wrong, that electricity was not because of that, it was because they are destined to be with each other. He smiled shyly and continued the conversation. "So you're here representing the company alone?" He asked. "Oh, uh, no i'm with my brother Ross." Belerick said, searching the small crowd until finally locating his brother by their designated spot in the room, he was deep in flirtation with Anastasia, the sight made Eliz frown, realizing that this may be the reason they broke up, it might actually be it, she has her eyes set on a brand new summit to climb, the Summers. "You okay? You suddenly look pale." Belerick took notice, he got up, took out his handkerchief and offered it to Eliz, he took it graciously. "Yes, thank you." He said. "Do you want some fresh air? we can go to the rooftop for some." Belerick offered. At times like this he would've decline and instead ask to be alone, but with him, he just can't seem to decline. "Yes, let's do that."
The late night breeze was chilly, they were on the rooftop of a 96-story building, it towers above the rest, the glimmering lights below was mesmerizing. "It's beautiful up in here." Eliz said as he lean on the railing fully taking in the sweet scenery he is looking at. "Yeah, that's why I asked my office to have at least the same scenery in here." Belerick said as he sided with Eliz. "He's so small." Eliz meant to keep that to himself but unknowingly blurted out loud enough for Belerick to hear. "Hey, I'm sorry i'm short, all the height of the family went to my brothers!" Belerick teased him back. Eliz apologized for acting like a fool. "Belerick, I'm sorry, i did not mean to." Eliz apologized. "That's ok. I'm used to that, plus, my grandma's taller than me. An please, call me El, Belerick's too odd of a name." He said flashing another sweet smile to Eliz. "Ok, El." Eliz said. They stayed quiet for a few minutes before El asked another question. "So you and Anastasia? How long were you together?" El asked. "Oh, uh, about a year, we broke up a month ago." Eliz answered straight, not letting his emotions get the best of him. "I'm sorry to hear that." Eliz wanted not to mind but can't. In all honesty however bad anyone made Anastasia look, he loved her, he loved her so much. He knows she has gold digging intentions even before they were together but that made him work harder, kept him on his toes, made him a better and competitive person. Maybe that's not the conventional love, but hey, it's 2018, love has many kinds of form. "Yeah well, It didn't work out." He bitterly said. "Yeah, and I doubt her flirtation would work on my brother. He's just toying with her." Belerick admitted. He knows that, and maybe that's why he is feeling this bitterness in him right now, because deep down he knows it, he red a while back in a magazine all about the Summers, How Rossitier and Cassidus Summers are the "Bachelors", of course accompanied by the title are the flock of hot you women vying to be named a Summers as well.
They started chatting again after a short awkward pause, both shyly laughing at each others quirks ad corny jokes, they've talk about Eliz's business and how it all started, to Belerick's story of how he officially met Romeo, to how much both of the loves the Resident Evil game franchise and not the live action movies, both of the surprisingly have the same taste in other games, Eliz thought to himself how he is enjoying Belerick's company, how fluid they are, yes, there might be some weird awkward pauses here and there but, even he cannot deny the massive chemistry between them, not even kidding himself how cute Belerick is with his cream suit speckled with moss green stripes design. If his hair was a bit longer he thought to himself he would've pass as a very beautiful girl. But even then, right now, the boy standing and giggling in front of him right now is already as pretty.
"So? Are you dating anyone right now?" El suddenly asked. Eliz felt the air around him got thinner. "No, not really." he answered back "You?" he quietly asked Belerick. "No, not really anymore." El responded. "What happened? If you don't mind." Eliz can't help but ask, he saw big sadness on El's eyes. "Well, it's just not meant to be, to put it simply." He said a gave him a little smile. "My grandma use to say that there is one person meant for you, fated to be yours no matter what happened, whether you went the lef tor the right path, you would always go back to that person." El said, glimmer in his eyes almost blinded Eliz. "Do you believe in destinies? Elizander?" He continued. "I do. I do now I guess." Eliz said as he look into Belerick's eyes. They were interrupted by Belerick's brother Rossitier that told Belerick it's time for them to go home.
"It was nice meeting you Elizander." Belerick said. "Call me Eliz. And it's been amazing meeting you too. EL." Eliz said, the two of them walked the same time down to the VIP Room, he even walked Belerick to their car outside the expo. "I hope we meet again soon." Belerick said, Eliz just gave him a nod, knowing fully well they will. Becauset= they were destined to see each other again
As he watch the car disappear in the distance he went his way back into the expo, but his attention was snatched by the familiar figure he once saw, the red clothes and the blank face, the deity of matchmaking and marriage, Yue Lao, wasting no time he approached the deity.
"So it's him? Is it Belerick?" He asked. "IT is indeed him, The one fated to be yours; Belerick Summers." the deity answered as a gust of wind blew and took Yue Lao with it disappearing away from Eliz's sight.
