And when I realized if who is the hell is he, I immediately get my ass up as I faced him with my head high.
"Y-ynnah?" he asked incredulously.
"Yeah, it's me.
Xander."
He blinked a few times before he spoke
"How are you? It's been a while. I have no news from you after what happened," he said as he bit his lower lip and avoided my gaze.
"Well, I'm good and yes it's been a while so I moved on forthwith. We went home to Korea for some important matters. Why do you care anyway? Besides, how are you and the woman you replaced me with? "
He immediately gazed at me as the expression on his face became sad.
"Why? Did I say something?" I ask again when he wasn't able to answer my question.
"Ynnah-" he mumbled. "After those incidents I already ignored her. They were the only ones pushing me with that woman. When you broke up with me I felt my life was a mess, I even get drunk every night. Then when I woke up I always looked for you but you already left. My life was depressing and miserable. Ynnah, I do love you and I regret everything I did before. Please, I hope you forgive me and give me another chance to be a better person for you." he said as he held my hand but I just rejected it.
"I'm sorry but, no. Why? Because you would not have done that in the first place! If you do love me, you won't hurt me and even more, you will not be able to do that! But what can we do? It's already done, and you can no longer change what has already happened. I'm sorry Xander. I can forgive you but I can't give you another chance that you're asking, so please excuse me. " I said as I turned around and was about to leave but he holds my arm to stop me from doing so.
"Ynnah please, don't do this to me," he begged but I didn't even give a damn.
"Xander please, let me go."
"No! Sweetie please."
"Xander I said, let me go!" I exclaimed as I pushed him with full force and walked away, but he kept on following me.
•
So now we look like idiots here in the mall because of him. I'm avoiding his existence but he keeps on following and bothering me! Can't he just understand that I don't want nor love him anymore? He's annoying!
"Ynnah please," he forced me to faced him the moment he chased me.
"Go away! " I said. "I already have a boyfriend so please! Stay away from me!" I turn my back to walk away from him but he immediately held my hand so tight as he forced me to face him.
"Ynnah-,"
"What the! Let go off of my hand! Stay away! " I threw his hand away from mine.
He is fucking humiliating!
"Ynnah, I regret everything I did. Please forgive me, sweetie. I know that you don't have a boyfriend, and I know that you only saying that because you're mad at me. Please-,"
"Snap out of it, Xander! My Gosh! It's been two years and you're still like that? Can't you just move on and get lost? You're only wasting your time. I already have a boyfriend so will you please? Stop being delusional! You're just looking stupid! " I said with gritted teeth because of irritation.
I don't care if people look at us here, it's annoying! And seriously? He scandalized here in the mall?! Like the f!
"No, Ynnah! I will only acknowledge it when you face him with me and-,"
"Babe! " I cut him from what he was about to say when I saw someone walking towards our direction while holding his phone.
The man turned around looking curious. He is wearing all black outfits, black hoodies, black fitted pants, and black shoes. His black hair was a bed-made in short Messy hair that made you attract at first sight.
Nice choice Ynnah, I felt lucky right now.
I smiled while glancing at him, and when I saw how his face clenched his jaw, I grab the opportunity to pull back my hand from him who's still distracted, priceless, and insecure at the same time.
Like duh? Who wouldn't be priceless and insecure if you saw an Angel behind you? I moved toward the man who was still staring at me.
I pluck his arm and cling my both arms into his as I look at my Ex with an evil grin that formed to my lip then face the stranger beside me with my puppy eyes.
Yuck!
Me doing puppy eyes is freaking bullshit!
This was the first time I'm doing this kind of crap!
"Finally, you're here babe. I've been waiting for you for a while." I emphasize that 'Babe' thingy to make it more realistic. "Anyway, Xander. " I turned my gaze to my Ex with his still the same reaction, he seems to have become too OA. "He's my boyfriend that I was saying a while ago. "
"What?" the stranger man asked me with full of curiosity.
"Just go with the flow, please," I whispered so as not to be noticed. Then I turned my gaze to my ex who still couldn't believe it.
"Y-ynnah? You're kidding right, sweetie?" he said as he took a step towards us which made me move a step back that makes him stilled for a moment.
"No, and why would I?" I tightened my grip on the man next to me who was just quietly watching us.
Good thing this guy doesn't do something to make me embarrassed from my show.
"I don't believe you! You're just-," he halted when I turned my gaze facing the person beside me as I kissed him lightly on the lips without having any second thoughts.
It's just a matter of second before I pulled myself from that kiss and faced my fucking Ex once again.
"Satisfied? Now back off!" I said then pulled the stranger man I just kissed but didn't even know him without saying anything.
Argh! Earth, eat me with the embarrassment I reached now! Please!
When we left that place, the stranger I was dragging suddenly stopped walking, causing me to also stop pulling him.
"I think he can't follow us here already," he said looking at me but I just avoided his gaze.
Fuck! I just now felt ashamed because of what happened earlier!
"I-'m sorry for what happened a while ago, I didn't mean to-" what I was about to say hung up in the air when he suddenly grabbed me by the nape and kissed me on the lips!
Like, what actual fuck?!
My body stilled as my eyes widened in surprise.
"There! Now we're even. You're already paid for that mess you've done," his voice was deep and sexy. I can't react to what he did because even if I want to, I can't. I can't find my words to say as if my tongue is receding.
Shit!
He crossed his arms while a side of his lips tilted up. It was not a smile but a smirk.
He smirked as he stared at me, in a steady gaze which suddenly made my hair on my neck stand. It was a scary smirk coming from a gorgeous face that didn't seem simple to read through.
But at the back of my thoughts, he seems to be so familiar but I didn't remember if when and where did I saw him. Those coal-black lackluster eyes.
Do I know him?
Suddenly my knees softened. I was trembling as I stared into his black eyes and I feel like any moment from now I will fall. But before that thing happened, he suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me away from that place without losing my gaze on him even though he already turned his back.
I just found myself entering the coffee shop near the mall I went to earlier while this man with me was still dragging me.
Wait, why are we here anyway?
When we already entered the coffee shop, he immediately looked for a seat. He saw that there was a table for two not far from us so he pulled me there once again without me being able to move.
I noticed that only a few of us were here, there were couples and groups of teenagers around taking selfies and telling stories while drinking coffee. I suddenly felt cold for the reason why I was here. I saw the guy that I just grab a while ago ordering two cups of coffee at the counter so I grab the chance to furtive move picking up my sling bag to leave the coffee shop but just I was only a few steps near the glass door, a hand grabs me by the arm.
I immediately stood up straight while my heart was beating fast in pace because of uneasiness. I slightly closed my eyes and swallowed in no time as I slowly lifted my gaze from the owner's hand. My gaze slowly ran from his arm up to his slender neck that is shown because of his unzipped hoodies and his face with his messy hair that perfectly suits him which was like a damn hot fashion.
I pulled myself back and try to hide the fear I felt for him.
"Please don't leave yet," he said again with his deep and sexy voice.
I was suddenly taken aback as I looked at him curiously. "Pardon?"
"Don't leave. Maybe we can have a cup of coffee." I don't know why but, his voice sounds something.
Or maybe I'm just being crazy again?
"N-no thanks, I have to-," I was cut for what I was about to say when I saw someone that is now entering the glass door of the coffee shop where we are right now.
I took a deep breath, looks like I don't have any choice, eh? "A-alright," I said in defeat and stepped back to my seat earlier.
That hoodie guy just follow behind me and I felt his height covering me, now I regret wearing shoes and not high heels. I look like a dwarf to him. (Height problems) He sat across me while waiting for the coffee he ordered a while ago.
Soon the coffee he ordered arrived and what was even more surprising was that he ordered my favorite chocolate coffee. How does he know that I do love chocolate coffee?
Scratch that thought! Maybe it's just a coincidence.
Honestly, I can't focus on drinking my coffee for some reason. Two different people are now staring at me, first Mr. Hoodie guy staring at my face and Xander who is not far from us. And yes! He was the person who came in earlier than I was saying when this man stopped me from leaving.
I couldn't stand the look of them especially he who was just in front of me so, I lowered my coffee first and also stared at him wondering.
"Do you need anything why you are looking at me like that? "I asked him, who was not even shaken when I catch him staring at me.
He just pouted and shook his head. Cute!
W-what?
No! He's not cute! He is weird and creepy!
"Tell me. Do I know you?" I asked.
"Maybe.." he shrugged.
"So, you know me?" I asked once again.
He nodded as he answered, "Yes."
"How? Are you my stalker or something?"
"No.." then he shook his head again.
He is weird and creepy! Did he just let me stay here so he could just stare at me all day? This man's trip was also different, he didn't even bother to tell me his name!
"Eros."
"W-what?" I asked curiously.
"You wanna know my name, right? It's s Eros."
D-did he just- did he just read my mind? Wtf!
"Don't be afraid of me. I won't bite," he said which made me scared more. His words were scary!
"Are you reading my mind?" I asked but he's just shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.
I tried to calm myself and take a deep breath. Ynnah, relax okay? Just relax.
"You're Eros?"
"Yes"
"No, I mean. I'm asking for your surname." I said while staring back at him.
"Eros. Eros Michael Sy," he said while his eyes were still fixed on my face that made me conscious.
"Do I have dirt on my face? "I asked and simply took my mirror inside my bag and looked to see if I had something on my face why he would just stare at me like that weirdly.
But before I could see my face he spoke. "Nothing."
I relaxed and started drinking my coffee again. But I still couldn't help but look at him intently. The feeling as if he was memorizing every corner of my face.
I felt uncomfortable.
"Stop staring, you're making me conscious." I retorted.
"Really." It's not a question but a statement.
"Aren't you going to ask me questions? Do you know me that much? But how? Maybe you're a stalker? "I asked him one question after another.
He adjusted his seat while still not taking his eyes off me.
"Yeah, I know you but I'm not a stalker." I honestly felt irritated with him right now, swear!
One question, one answer? Woah! He is very unbelievable! Didn't he even think of making an effort to introduce himself properly to me because honestly, I don't remember that we already met? I do not remember but he is familiar.
"Your name was Ynnah Francine Seung. I just saw it from your bags keychain,"
Oh, am I being assuming then?
"Are you aware that you're scaring me?" I can't help but ask that made him more serious.
He would have been handsome but he doesn't seem to know smile. He's too serious that you'll be embarrassed to joke because he doesn't seem familiar with how to laugh.
A serious type of guy yeah?
"I know, cause I figure that one out since the moment I kissed you." I suddenly stilled at what he has said.
Kiss...
Kissed?!
My gosh!
I suddenly remembered what happened earlier.
"You're blushing," he started that made me embarrassed more.
I wanted to leave! I don't want him with me anymore I don't want him! It's embarrassing!
I felt embarrassed!
Out of the blue, I stood up to where I was sitting and pointed my forefinger at him. I know my face is so red now because of the humiliation I got but I didn't give a damn! All I want is to get out of here and get rid of the embarrassment that happened to me earlier!
"Don't follow me!"
I spatted as I ran out because of the shame I got earlier at the mall. Gosh! I felt my face was already red as an apple!
Shame on you Francine! You're embarrassing!
