Chapter 9

Miles POV

"Hi, Bii!" He said to me while smiling sarcastically.

"What are you doing here!" I yelled at him.

"Easy Bii. You don't have to yell at me. I'm on my way to my condo unit there, ohhh." He pointed to the building near us.

Oh. So Cole lives there!

"What are you doing here. You are already wet! Don't you have an umbrella? You already soak due to the rain." He said to me, sounding so worried. Is this real?

"Why do you care?" I said to him while giving him my sullen look.

"You know what! With the way you speak to me right now made me think that you are just pretending to like me." He sounded like he suspected me.

I was shocked by what he had just said. Omg! Did he suspect me already? No! It can be!

"Ahh, ahh, no. I'm just really irritated with my situation right now. I need to go home. My brothers would surely scold me if I didn't go home in time." I think I sounded so desperate defending myself to him. I hope he didn't notice it. I can't let him suspect me! It will ruin everything!

"Okay, okay. Chill! Don't be so defensive! I believe you, but I don't think you can go home now. The rain is not stopping yet, and the see the flood is already getting high, so I don't think there will be a cab that will pass by soon."

I was in the elevated area, but, indeed, the flood was getting high. If this rain doesn't stop, the surge will surely reach this place.

"No! What should I do." I said to him. I want to cry right now.

I was shocked when he suddenly grabbed my face and looked at me.

"Don't worry Bii, Come on. Let's go to my condo first. You're going to be sick if you continue to be here. " he offered.

"What? No!" I yelled at him.

"Okay, if you say so." then he attempted to walk away from me. I look at the road.

Omg! The flood is already on my feet. Also, looking at my surrounding, there is no one around. Huhu, I'm starting to feel scared. I guess I don't have a choice.

"Cole! Wait!" I yelled and ran to follow him.

~~~

We are now at Cole's condo unit.

It is so unlikely from what I've imagined. Cole's place is so organized and clean. As in really clean. Very Different from his known personality. I'm currently rooming the whole living room

"Impress much. Tell me. You are falling to me more?"

"Asshole!" I said to him. Then I continue to look around.

I was walking all over when I saw a picture frame that was put upside down on the side table. I flipped it, and there I saw a woman and child. They are holding a robot made from lego. I know it because my brother also has this kind of robot. Why does she look so familiar? She looks like...

"What are you doing!" Cole yelled at me.

I was shocked by his sudden yelling that I dropped the picture frame that I was holding on the floor.

Omg! The glass from the picture frame has shuttered all over the place. I went down immediately to get the edge.

"I'm sorry, Cole, I didn't mean to... I just... OUCH!" my finger was pierced by one of the glasses that I was picking.

Cole run fast to me!

"You shouldn't have tried to touch any of my things. I hate it when someone is touching my thing! See what happens to you!" He then grabs my hand. He pulled me to sit on the couch and get something in the kitchen. When he came back, he was now holding a first aid kit, I think.

"See. because of your curiosity. You even pierced your finger!" He grabbed my finger and applied an ointment. Then he is now blowing it.

lub dub lub dub lub dub.

Why am I feeling this way? I can feel my heart is rising so fast. It doesn't seem right. I don't understand what this is.

I quickly pulled my fingers from him

"I can do it," I said to him

"Okay, if you say so." He then handed me the ointment that he's been holding.

It's been 4 hours, but the rain hasn't stopped yet. I already called my brother and told them that I would be spending the night with Auntie Mai. Thankfully they believed me. I did that because I know they will not contact Auntie Mai to confirm, even though they do. Auntie is already asleep by this time.

Gosh! I can't believe I lied for the first time, just because of this f*cking rain. I can't go home anymore because the flood downstairs is still high.

Here I am right now at Cole's bed. Would you believe that f*cking annoying guy has some manners on his bones? He offered me to sleep on the bed because he thought it was not suitable for his guest to sleep on the couch, to which I gladly agreed. It's so cold out there in his living room. Unlike here that has a heater. Cole is still in the bathroom, I think. I don't care.

I'm currently lying here at his bed, wrapping myself with this thick bedsheet. I was getting ready to sleep when I felt someone lie beside me.

Don't tell!

"What are you doing here?" I panic. I quickly get up from the bed

"What do you mean? What am I doing here? I'm going to sleep, of course. Why do you ask."

"I thought I'm the only one who is sleeping here, and you're going to sleep on the couch!" I asked him, but I was stunned when he laughed at me.

"You're amusing, Miles! Why should I sleep on the couch when I have the perfect good bed right here!" he said while trying to hold his laughter

"But you..."

"I asked you to sleep here 'cause I know it's more comfortable to sleep here, but I never said that I will sleep on the couch, haha!" he said

"Okay, I will go out there in the living room." I can't sleep with this asshole. I can't trust this horny guy!

"But It's cold there!" He said, but I still got up from his bed.

"It's okay. I can manage!" I said to him, then started to get out of the room.

"Okay, if you say so." He said. Then I saw him close his eyes.

I started to walk to his door, and when I opened the door. The very cold breeze welcomes me.

Omg! It's so cold. I don't think I can survive here.

I have no choice again. LORD! Why are you doing this to me?

I quickly shut the door and went back to the bed. GOSH! It's so cold!

"I told you so!" He is laughing at me. I just glared at him

I was completely lying down on the bed when he suddenly moved and went on top of me. I tried to push him away, but he pinned both of my hands on top of me.

"What are you doing?" His face is really near mine.

"Bii. Do you like me? As in really like me?" He suddenly asked me while looking straight into my eyes.

"I already told you that, right? Why are you keep asking me that question" I said to him while trying to look away from his gaze. I can't seem to look at him straight.

"Nothing! I can't believe that someone like you will like someone like me." He said.

God thing you know!

I want to say that, but I know I can't

"I don't know too. It's just one day, I woke up, and I realized that I already like you."

Yuck! I want to puck with what I'm saying right now.

"If that's what you say, then kiss me!" he seductively said to me while still staying on top of me

"I already told you that I will never kiss you or be in a relationship with you unless you learn to love me, right. I already told you. I don't do flings."

"Okay if you say so!" he said, then went back to lie on his bed.

Now I can breathe properly.

"But you know I don't do serious relationships. You don't seem to be the type that will settle for being just a plaything. I feel sorry for you that you like someone like me. Like me, who can never fulfill the thing that you want? I don't want to ruin someone like you. I don't think you deserve that." he said while looking at the ceiling of his room. He looked so serious.

I can't believe I just heard those words from someone like him. I can't help but wonder. Why is he like this?

No! No! No! Don't be concerned about him. You have to hurt this guy! He is the guy that broke your best friend's heart. He is the reason that she is now in the condition.

His word can't sway me. I can't!
