Chapter Eight: Fight or Flight

if there's anything I don't understand now, it's why I want to approach her again even though I know I shouldn't.

I shouldn't act this way since I hate this girl ever since but even making decision I made in an instant because of her too.

I sighed. Shit. Everything is shit.

And Sylvan walked out. I know I hurt him now and my mind is still confused by my decision. Little I'm fucking questioning myself about is why the hell my heart is so freaking calm with everything even though I know that I treat Sylvan with love?

My eyes returned to my bed and I saw her moving slightly.

I made her wear my clothes, which is why it was almost up to her thighs, which I paired with my little pajamas.

I don't have any other clothes that she can wear since I'm still wearing like a man I am.

My cell phone rang from my pocket grabbing my attention.

The night was cold but my hand got colder when I saw Bea's text to me.

[Hey cous, maybe you're at your bed now. I'm just confused, did you see Scarlett earlier? I didn't see her since I left the table. I'm a bit worried but I know that that girl was responsible enough to take care herself, But still, if you see her leaving the venue, please let me know so I will ask everyone I know she's connected at. I can't contact her too as of now.]

I stared at my cellphone screen for a few seconds and thought.

Should I tell Bea that I have her here?

No way. She should not know about this. I'm not going to say it either.

Shit... But what if... Sca would tell her once she talked with her again?

I do not know what to do.

I went to my kitchen and brewed strong coffee to get rid of my headache.

Uncle Fred will definitely look for this girl since he seems to like this girl for his son.

Or uncle Frank because I see him the same way. He seems to be happy that Sca met Ethan.

I hope uncle Fabio was not voting for both of 'em for Sca.

Then I walked into my room again only to be froze.

I almost forgot that I'm holding a cup of coffee in my hands when a apir of eyes struggling to stare at me.

And so did I?

Sca P.O.V

when I saw him enter from a door I didn't know very well, I felt nervous.

I caught his cold gaze twice as he was holding a glass of coffee.

He was just standing there, while I almost called all the saints to help me. For them to send me in hell already since what I did was shameful.

Then I heard his steps, coming forward, I mean past by me.

He walked towards the other side of the room. there near the window when he stopped and didn't say anything.

Fuck. Sca what are you doing and why are you with him?!

I just want to jump if this room is high.

I would rather stay in the hospital bed than in the room and in the bed of the man I know doesn't want to see me here either.

"C-Cy, did something happen to us?"

out of my mind I asked. I noticed my nightgown on a hanger and my heels under it.

When I looked down on my body, I was wearing different clothes that's why my heart almost jumped in fear.

Afraid that I might not expect his answer.

"I'm leaving. T-thank you for keeping me here." I said again when he didn't answer.

When I put my foot on the cold floor, I heard his shoes hit the floor.

He faced me. He was still in a distant that's why I was stunned.

His eyes were burning. I could see his annoyance in his eyes.

"Don't worry I was just forced too."

"H-Huh? what... do you mean?" I asked almost stammering.

It is obvious from his face that he is angry and not lying. I could see the uncomfortable movement on his lips.

Did he mean... we... no way!

can't be because... no way!!!!!

He cleared his throat and began to sit on the chair near his coffee table and wrote on a piece of paper.

"You were drunk and I was too. So I never wanted it. Don't think that I planned it to happen 'cause I never do." he said in a baritone voice.

my jaw dropped to the floor.

Something can't happen to us! I mean...

My only wish is that he doesn't face me because I feel like I'm turning red like a tomato right now because of what I heard.

My nervousness reached the sky when everything sank in from my mind.

I thought it was just my dream when I remembered how he picked me up and...

then... he..

he was my f-first?

fuck Scarlett! you are so stupid!

it seems that the lord is not listening to my prayer because when Cy faced me, he stared at me and he almost couldn't remove those eyes from me.

"I heard you got fired."

Out of nowhere he asked me. I was stunned by what I heard. I didn't expect that he could also know my ultimate secret?

ultimate because I don't want other people to know that I'm jobless. there's no wau they could because it's embarrassing when they find out I don't have work now.

"I-It... it was because there's an issue that I got involved in. but that's not true, I didn't do that." my reason

I looked away because I really couldn't stand the coldness of his gaze from his cold and emotionless eyes.

Soon a paper flew beside me. It landed at my feet and when I saw it, he immediately turned away.

"Accept that." He said coldly as if he was giving orders.

Even if he wasn't looking, I knew he would be annoyed by my answer.

"I... Cox, I'll never accept this. I can't accept this." I said. Almost stuttering.

Out of the blue why does he have to give me five million? Is it because... is it because of what he said happened to us?

But that sex is just... a mistake. he doesn't have to pay for that. One more thing, why will he pay?!

ugh! I'm going crazy!

"I have my own money. Cy—"

"At least don't waste my time. Accept it." He cut my words.

I tried to stand up.

Nope. there's no way I will accept any amount from Cox. Nope. I do not want.

"I'm going to leave now Cox. Thank you for keeping me here and—"

I hesitated to continue what I was saying when I caught his strange gaze.

I feel like backing out. I hope I'm close to the window so I can just jump.

Fuck Fuck Fuck!

If only I could tell him that every look he gives me makes me nervous. I should have done it a long time ago.

My heart was beating very fast while he seemed to be covered in ice because of the coldness and calmness of his whole personality.

But he's sending me to hell on the way he was just standing there, putting his hand on his pocket, while his eyes were on mine. I am like a big sin in his eyes.

I felt like I'm everything I hated about. He's so crazy.

"T-Thank you again—"

"Stay there."

What? stay there?!

"I'll take the couch at sala." He continued as he was stepping forward the door and was not looking at me.

"Cy, I..."

"You don't have your car here so stay there. It's just two am. Don't be a crazy bitch and just listen." He warned me.

I was stunned. I wanted to chase him through the door but he closed it quickly.

I can't believe that everything like this between us will happen.

and the one earlier, I know I'm in danger and he came suddenly to take me back from those bastards who wanted to take me with them.

Other man can do that but instead of someone else coming, Cox actually came to save me.

I don't know what to think.

If I should think of him as a kind person or not because I have no other proof that he is really kind.

I thought of a joke. It's funny but my heart is asking for another chance to see another version of it.

But obviously that won't happen.

I remember how my mother used to ask for him ever since I'm in elementary to highschool.

Every time I'm coming home, she will ask me,

"How about your enemy? That one guy in your classroom who used to bully you?"

I went back to bed. I noticed the lack of furniture in this room and the other walls and sides of it were not fixed too.

I wonder where I am now? and why is like this here?

Am I in his place, really? Or someone's other property thay he just talked with?
