Chapter 113

Miguel's pov

She continued silently crying, while talking about how cruel the world is.

I sat there till I became uncomfortable with her crying because I know am the cause of it.

"It's okay Bianca, I will escort you wherever you want today. We will spend as much time as you want." I promise, and at the same time hope I don't regret my words.

"Are you sure about that?"she blinks at me

"Am really sure." I smile to reassure her.

" Promise on it? "

I raise three fingers up, my index crossed with my thumb  " this thing I promised today, break it I won't dare, " I promise with the utmost sincerity

She nods before quickly wiping her tears " am relieved I have someone who's willing to escort me wherever l choose to be."

" What of Richard? why doesn't he escort you?"

Richard's her mate right? 

She shakes her head " I don't want to spend anymore time with the bore than normal.

A minute in his presence will make you wish to be anywhere but there."

I smile," are you trying to insult your mate Bianca?" I quirk a brow.

She laughed "am not trying to insult him, I've insulted him already. There's nothing like trying to again."

"You're one odd mate, and a great friend," I stood to give her a friendly peck on the cheeks, but a certain someone stopped my progress with his hand on my shoulder.

I turn to the person, and saw it was no other person but the person we were talking about just now.

"Am sorry for gripping your shoulder Luna, "  he respectful bowed before straightening up "as much as I respect you Luna, I can't condone to the close proximity you share with my mate," he might have sounded calm, but the brewing anger in his eyes proves he's anything but calm.

"I will keep that in mind,"I  smile at him "  and moreover I don't play for that team."

" Okay, " he pecks Bianca on the mouth as if proving she's his.

"Ewww" I make a face at Bianca who's still blushing even after the kiss.

"Shut up, it's as if you've not gone that far with your Alphas. "

At the mention of my Alphas, i hastily stood up "I will be back, I need to visit the restroom," I left the class in a hurry.

*

" I think am about to die" I  said for the fifth time since we entered the mall.

" Shut up and try those clothes out,"  Bianca glared at me.

" Why am I even the one trying on clothes?" I narrowed my eyes at her " why are you making me try on this ridiculous tight wears?!"

I swear I might suffocate if care's not taken, from how tight the jeans she forced on me is.

"You promised to do whatever I want, go wherever I want, and spend as much time with me as I want, why are you suddenly complaining?" she raises a brow at me.

" Did I promise all that?" I  widen my eyes in disbelief.

She nods with a pursed lip "you really did promise all that Miguel, you really did."

*

"Are we through with where we're supposed to go?" I  look up at the dark sky.

We just came out from the cinema, where we watched the new episode of Love me not.

She looks at the time on her wrist watch, before nodding "it still remains a place to go, but it's almost time."

" Time for what?" I look at her, inwardly begging The moon goddess ( funny how I now believe in her after she saved me from the wicked clutches of Manuel. May his soul rest in peace in the belly of a fish).

She blinks "time for what? what are you talking about?"

she looks at me in confusion.

" You said it's almost time, and am asking almost time for what?" I look at Bianca who's acting a bit strange.

" Oh" she blinks " it's almost time to go home, all we need to do is drive around the town a little," she says with a goofy smile on her face.

"Why don't we head home since it's late?" I look up at the already darkened sky "mom will be dead worried about me if she comes back to an empty house devoid of her favourite son."

If care's not taken, she might think I've been kidnapped again.

" I already informed your mother of our whereabouts, and she's perfectly fine with it provided you stay with me."

I look at her in suspicion "  just when did you call my mom?"

I would have known if there was a time she answered a call, but there was no time like that.

She've been with me ever since we started this endless afternoon.

"She called while you were changing clothes," she looks at my clothes.

" oh it's true, there's another thing remaining. How could I have forgotten something as important as that?" she looks like forgetting whatever it was she forgot is a crime on its own.

"What's it? a hike up the mountain? swimming in a l...." I shut my mouth before I get bombarded with images of that cold dreadful night with Manuel.

"You're supposed to wear the clothes I bought for this final thing."

"What final thing?" I  quirk an eyebrow.

 " It's uh.....yes a picture! I need to have a photo with you in case of the future. We can always reminisce on the days we spent as young friends," she smiled goofily " when we're old with with white hair and beards, we can always look back and laugh at those days we were still young and crazy."

Her words made sense, but I don't get why she will want me to wear new clothes just so I can have a pictures with her.

" Why are you asking me to change clothes? won't it be right if am to wear the clothes we walked round the mall with?"

Won't it be better wearing clothes I wore before? Why try a new one?

She shakes her head

" I want to have a picture of you wearing the clothes I chose for you."

She brought out her phone . 

" and paid for" I added for her, but she didn't reply, instead she bit her lips. Looking liek a kid who got something up their sleeves.
