Chapter 7

I groaned when I heard my alarm clock.  I reached for it,  and turn it off. I open my eyes and stared at the ceiling blankly. Nightmares again, I almost didn't slept.  I checked the time, and decided to prepare myself.

After fifteen minutes, I was walking towards the door. I don't intend to eat my breakfast, I don't have my appetite. When I opened the door, my brow arched at the sight of an idiot, leaning its back on the side of the door.

"What---" I didn't have any chance to finish my sentence because he already answered my question

"I'm here to pick you up" he said while smiling

"Did I told you to pick me up today? Or I just forgot about it?" I asked him,  because I am confused right now.

He smiled at me and reach for my arm, and drag me.

"No, I just feel like picking you up today" he said casually

What is wrong with this guy? I think, he's the one who should be getting some medical treatment.

"Let's go eat something, I'm sure you haven't have breakfast yet" he added while smiling at me. I just stared at him out of amusement. "Okay! I guess I'll choose" he cheerfully said and shove me inside his car.

"I have a car" I sarcastically said

"I know, but I want to drive for you" he replied as he started the engine.

I didn't replied, and just stared outside the window.

"Did you sleep well last night?" he asked again,  trying to start another conversation with me. I just looked at him for a few seconds, before I fixed my eyes again on the road outside.

"I guess, that means no" he said, while still having a smile on his face. I don't want to talk to him, but I don't want to push him away. He feels like, he's the kind of company that I need.

"Want to listen some music?" he asked, but I still kept myself silent.

He shrugged his shoulders, and started a music. Well,  at least his song choice were not annoying. Then he handed me an apple.

"Eat this first"

I looked at the apple,  then I looked at him.

"Come on, I know you're hungry" he said. I sighed and took the apple in his hands. I didn't eat it, I just hold it.

"We're here" he said as he went out of the car. I looked at my watch, it's still fifteen minutes early before my first class. I put the apple in my bag and followed the idiot inside.

When I got there,  he's already ordering food.

"I'll just have hot chocolate" I told the cashier.

When we're done, he drag me to a table,  facing the road.

"What's bothering you?" he finally asked.  I bet he's been dying to ask me that.

"I didn't told my psychiatrist anything yesterday, so what makes you think that I will tell it to you." I asked him back

"Well, maybe because I'm asking you because I'm genuinely worried about you. Unlike your psychiatrist, who's only worried about you because it's his job" he explained

"Seriously? You're genuinely worried about me? Don't make me laugh" I said as I gave him a smirk look.

"People who've been around me for a very long time,  don't GENUINELY CARE, so I don't think you would too. We've known each other just a few days." I said

"Well I don't need you to believe me, just let me do what I want to do" he said,  while smiling at me suspiciously.

"Can you just tell me what you want, to get this over? I'm literally annoyed" I said

"I already told you, I want you. Just kindly brace yourself, because I'll surely annoy you until I get what I want. This will never be easily over." He said as he lean back, while giving me his smile.

I was dumbfounded by what he said. Is he out his mind? What kind of idiot would say those words ? I was about to answer him when our food arrived. I was amazed by the number of food,  that was lain on our table.

"Can you eat all of this?" I asked him while looking at our table

"Ow, this aren't mine." Then he spread his arms as if presenting the food "This,  are all yours" he added cheerfully

"Mine?" I asked

"Yup, you haven't have breakfast right? I'm sure these will get you full enough for the day. I'll just have.. " then he reached for the hot chocolate that I ordered "This" then smiled at me

"But I ordered that!" I said trying to snatch it away from him

"It's the only thing that you ordered, so I'm having it" He said before he took a sip on it.  "No worries, I'll pay for everything. Your job is to get full okay? Just tell me if you want anything" he said as he placed his chin above his left hand.

I looked at the food before me. They're all appetizing, and I'm starting to felt like I'm starving, the problem is, I still don't have the mood to eat.  I feel like my taste buds are already gone. I hate how my body reacts to stress, it's starving me.  Then Kai picked up a spoon and scoop a spoonful of rice.  Guess he's hungry too.

"Open up" he said as he tried to shove the spoon in my mouth

"Man,  what are you doing?" I asked him

"I'm feeding you. I think you'll have your appetite back if I feed you. Come on,  open up" he said as he tries he's luck.

"Stop it! I can feed myself. I have my appetite back now,  so no need for you to do that" I said as I get the spoon in his hand.

He just smiled at me. The moment the food touches my tongue, I felt like I've  been starving for weeks. In just a flash,  I've finished everything on the table, on my own, while he was just watching at me quietly.

"Let's go" I said as I stood up. I heard him following me towards his car.

"So where do we go next?" he asked

"What do you mean,  where do we go next? Obviously, we're going to the University." I said as I went inside his car.

"We already missed the fist class." He said calmly as he shove himself in the driver's seat.

"Then? We can still make it to the second class" I said

"I'm not going to let you step inside the University's premises, if you still haven't calm yourself first." He said.

"I'm calm. What do…" I stopped on what I'm about to say because he held my face warmly.

"You can't lie to me. I can clearly see that you're still unstable. Attending your classes can only make it worst" he said at me worriedly, which made me look away from him.

"T-Then,  just drive me back home. I'll just rest." I answered him

"Negative. I'm skipping class with you." He said cheerfully as he started the engine and start driving.

I was dumbfounded by what he said. Why would he fucking do that?!

"Where to?" he said

"Home" I insisted

"What?!  We can have…" I didn't even let him finish

"If you want to go somewhere, then you can. Just drive me home, I just want to be at home." I replied

He didn't reply and just drove silently. We were silent and I didn't noticed that we were already in front of our building. I just went out silently and walked quietly, then I noticed that he was following  me. I looked at him and he just smiled at me. He's probably have nothing to do,  that's why he keeps on bothering me. I was about to enter my unit, when he grabbed my wrist.

"What now?" I annoyingly said

"Do you want me to stay with you?" he asked

"No" I said contrary to what I want.

"Okay I'll stay" he said then made his way inside.

"What the?! I said no!" I said as I followed him inside

"Yes or no, I'll still stay with you" he replied and then sat comfortably in my couch

"Then why the hell would asked me,  if you wouldn't listen to me?!" I furiously replied and walked towards him. He then grabbed my wrist and pulled me down.

"W-What…" I didn't even finished my sentence when he held my face gently

"The least thing that I want right now is to leave you alone. So,  just let me stay with you" He said which made me look away.

I didn't know what spirit possessed me, but I just found myself letting my guard down and be inside his arms. Yes, I want some company. I need him to stay with me for a while.
