Chapter 18

My mouth parted.

I was trying to sink it in but i was too caught off guard.

I never expected that. Blinking twice, we stare at each other's eyes. His was looking at me finding answers, while mine were too shocked.

Part of me is saying, he's lying. That maybe he's prentending to like me.

But most of it is swelling with excitement.

Comprehending his statement, i could finally smirked.

I wanted to ask him. 'Are you sure' but i settled with..

"You court me first"

Deal or no Deal.

This time it's him who's mouth parted.

Without saying anything, he grab my hand and smiled sideways.

Wait, what?

"Guys!!" Blake shouted and i immediately took my hand away from his grip.

He look at me, his brow furrowed but i ignored him.

He's courting me, we aren't together yet.

"Leggoooo, your things ready?" It's Brent who asked.

Answered "Yeah"

I turn to Auntie. "Bye Auntie!~"

"You kids, be careful, take care of the girls, Aight?"

"Of course"

"Yeah!"

They answered, except for Creed.   Given with his personality of course.

Auntie laughed.

"Okay, go" She shoved us.

I took the seat beside the window shield.

Surprisingly, Silver was the one who seated besides me.

"Y-you sure?"

He didn't budge, he just lay his head on my shoulder.

Woah.... Sigh. Whatever.

I gaze at Maze... did they fought? but they were okay a minute ago.

But base on maze face, they didn't though.

Err, fine. I patted his head. "Fine, sleep"

Blake's the one who drove, on the passenger seat is  Maze.

At the back were the two silent budd. Brent and Creed. While the remaining spaces are occupied with our bags and snacks.

**

"Maze i think you should exchange seat with Brent" T'was Blake who suggested.

I was pretending to be asleep but i'm listening to their conversation.

"I need a sub, you know" I hear him said, again.

"Alright. Park it there"

I think we've been on the road for about two hours now.

The boys suggested we drive by night so we can arrive there before dawn and enjoy the rest of the day after a hour of sleep.

I manage to fall asleep after pretending and when i woke up, it's Brent who's driving while Blake is sleeping on his side.

Silver is awake too,  and he's busy using his phone. I wasn't  shock when i found my self laying on his leg.

He put down his phone and look at me.

"Feel better?"

I pouted.  I have this weird motion sickness with long hour drive.

Thank god i took a pill when i was with Claude and Apol.

But coincidentally, i found the bottle empty now.

"Nah" i answered and he gave me another piece of mint candy.

"Let'ts stop by, she needs fresh air"

I tap his leg "I can manage" i said and he just cares my forehead.

"Lol, your 'i can manage' means you're gonna throw up soon, you brat"

And because Brent said that i gauge.

They all muttered "Oh shit''

Brent immediately pulled out, he stump the car break that i felt even worst.

Silver helped me carried my self.

**

"Ahhhh~" i exclaimed after throwing up, ugh gross. But what can i do, damn it.

Thankfully, the place we parked in is near the park, the others left only silver who's standing next to me and Creed left outside our car stayed.

"They found a convenience store, I'll help Maze. You want to stay here?"

I only nodded. He turn to Creed.

"Hey bud, i'll leave Naya here with you" He stated. Creed nod his head on him. I pursed my lips, cousin, You might  leave us awkwardness.

When Silver left, i felt Creed got out of the car and approached me, i didn't bother looking at him though.

Well, i don't know what to say after i demanded he better court me or nothing at all.

Now that i realized, he might not like me that much to do that.

Ahh, shit. so much negativity.

"Let's go" He took my hand and drag me with him.

Seriously, do this guy likes to drag me so much?

"Where are we going!"

"I don't know" he said

"What!" Creed Alexander!

I tried so hard to stop on  my track.

Successfully we both did.

I face him, i stared at him seriously.

"Tell me, why are you doing this?"

"I...." he trailed. So i asked him again when more seconds passed.

"What? do you really like me? it's not you to like me"

His jaw tightened.

"Tell me, Creed. Honestly"

"I don't know..." he sighed. "I just think i like you, i mean.... i knew i like you but i don't want to.. I never intended to, because the last thing i want is a girlfriend. I know i can't manage to have a demanding girl by my side with law school as my priority... But i like you now.. I'm gonna admit it now, you were irritating but when you gave me a silently treatment.. and when i saw you with... with that man i know i can't handle you being taking away from me"

I gawked.

and he drag me again..

"T-this is kidnapping" i said.

"Am i, in any way depriving you from your liberty?"

My brow knotted. Huh?
