Chapter 65: “Leave my hand, Derek”

“I am sorry I wasn’t looking ahead,” I immediately apologized while looking up at him. He had a mask covering his nose and mouth with brown hair spiked up in style. Apologizing once more I turned to exit the mall when I heard him take my name.

“You didn’t recognize me, huh?” I turned around to look at him apprehensively and shook my head in negative. His eyes held a mischievous glimmer to it as I tried to remember just why they had been looking so familiar now that I look carefully.

His mask wasn’t really helping me to realize his identity and I motioned towards it to let him know the reason.

“Oh yeah my bad, I forgot I had put this on because of the slight cold I have. I’ll take this off for you but first how about we head to a café for something? I’d like to catch up,” He asked in a friendly manner and I know I should demand to know his identity first but I had a feeling he wasn’t a stranger, his voice was familiar too even though it was a bit muffled.
