Chapter 5 5

I had big smiles as Ravienne dragged me out of the cafe. I was behind her and my sweet smile never left my lips.

'Is this natural for an infatuated feeling?'

He suddenly stopped and I bumped at his back.

"Shit! Wall!"

"From now on, you'll stick to me." He said seriously while staring into my eyes

'He's serious.'

"Why is that?" I asked

"Those guys are dangerous. They shouldn't approach an innocent like you."

'No one can be more dangerous than me.'I silently murmured.

"So, that's why I'm gonna stick to you?" I asked smiling

It averted its gaze.

"Like this?" I innocently sang my arms around his arm and squeezed even harder with him.

"I ...... I ....."

"I, what?" I asked

"N-Nothing-I mean .... yes.Stick like this to me." His neck turned slightly red up behind the ear

I giggled.

"Really ?! As in stick like a glue ?!" I asked excitedly

It nodded.

'Kyahhhh !!! Thank you, Lord !!'

He mumbled something that I didn't hear because of an overwhelming happiness.

His POV

"Yeah.If that's the only way to get close to you.Then, stick luke a glue to me." I whispered not hearing it.

'Damn! I can hear the loud beating of my heart.'

"So, will you come with me to the field too? We have a practice." He asked, still clinging to me

And hell fucking yeah.I like the feeling of her being close to me like this.Shit!

"Y-Yeah ..." I just muttered

She chuckled.

I looked at its gentle and beautiful face.

'No one can harm you as long as I am beside you.'

"I'm melting.Damn." She murmured

I was devastated when it looked up and our eyes met.

I was drowned to her tantalizing blue ocean eyes.

"Damn! They're so beautiful. Just like the owner."

"I'm melting ..." he repeated

I looked away because of what he said.

"You're so handsome." He said which caused my heart to go crazy

'Fuck!'

"Miss Quiza!" I looked at Coach Edgar as he called out to the beautiful woman next to me

She didn't let go from my arms.

I tried to suppress my smile.

"Oh. Why are you lan now --- Whew!" He whistled as he looked at our clasped arms.

He looked at me teasingly.

I shove my eyes away.

"Why are you like that?"

"Stick like a glue, Coach." Innocent answer of the beautiful woman next to me

"Ha?" Coach asked in surprise

"It's nothing, Coach.It's a secret between me and him." Then she chuckled.

My heart stopped from beating.

'I need a doctor.'

"You already know a secret now, Quiza. Oh go ahead. Separate first so we can start. I'm afraid you'll stay like that in practice. Hello! Get ready there!"

She sighed.

"Okay, Coach." It obviously forced me to walk away

We just followed him with our eyes.

"She's a goddess.Rare beauty." I heard him uttered.

When I looked at him, he's looking at me already.

"You look good on each other. She's sweet and innocent." He said smiling before heading to his team

And I was stunned for a moment then a smile slowly escaped from my lips.

Ritchelle's POV

"Wow! That strength! I didn't see the ball!" Said the students around me in amazement

We were here on the field and watched the Baseball Team practice.

Amazingly we followed the look of the ball as Nhiana hit it.

'Wow ....'

"Go Nhiana Ganda !!" Kiel cheered

"I love you, Miss Ganda!" Hero shouted and Kiel kicked him

"You idiot! Why did you stumble ?!" he growled at Kiel

"What are you saying there?"

"Eh pake mo ba ?!"

And the war begin.

I was about to look back at the field when I caught sight of Ivan looking at Nhiana. He's looking at her intently.

I was trampled with excitement.

'Shit! Does he have a crush on her? Wahh !! They're stuff !!'

"Dude! Don't stare too hard lest it melt." Jay said teasingly

I can hear them since they are not far from our place.

I smiled when I saw Eros.

'Uwuu ... my baby.'

"Shut up, you idiot." Ivan said annoyed without taking his eyes off Nhiana

"Oh shoot! Great!" Shouted the spectators so I turned my attention to the player

Nhiana was already running around. Until she reached her previous position but the one who took the ball still couldn't return.

"That was amazing!" Commented my companions and I secretly agreed

I stared at Nhiana.

I just realized that I don't fully know her. I thought she can't do physical activities. Because it's far from how she looks but from what I see now, I can say that what I'm thinking about her is wrong. she had two groups.I never thought she'll stay calm and innocent.

I remember again the rubbing of his shoes that caused him not to be hit by the knife thrown by Riez. And what he did a while ago in the cafe.

"Was it just a coincidence? For sure. She seems to know it's going to happen but as I look at her, she looks weak. A beautiful but innocent woman like her wouldn't be like I thought."

"A penny for your thought?"

I gasped when I saw Eros standing beside me.

"H-Ha ??" I asked like a fool

He laughed softly and my beautiful eyes seemed to form a heart.

"You look bothered. That's why I approached you."

'Oh my ... does that mean he's been watching me for a while ?! Wahh!'

"Mind to tell me what are you thinking?" He asked

I shyly smiled.

"I-It was nothing important. Don't mind me. G-I'm just like this sometimes." I replied shyly

"Okay then.But if you want someone to hear your burdens, I'm just here.My ears are always ready." Sinserong sabi nito

'Wahhh !! Please slap me animals!'

"O-Okay ...." I answered almost in a whisper

"Woohh !! He's cool !!" shouted the spectators

Ay! I was distracted from watching but it's okay hihi Baby Eros is the reason.

"That was amazing, Quiza !!" their Coach applauded

We were about to approach when the two groups arrived.

'Oh shit!'

"I was speechless on what I just saw.That was awesome!" Mike said in amazement and applauded

"I never thought you had such a talent, Miss Gorgeous." Riez said smiling.

The two groups face Nhiana.

I wanted to come closer but I couldn't step on my feet.

'Shit!'

"What is this, Forte ?! Samson ?!" Coach asked angrily

"Chill, Coach. I'm not here to make a mess. I'm here to give this gorgeous lady a choice." Riez said smiling

"What's that?" Coach asked

"He'll fight us in baseball. When he loses, he'll be mine but if he wins, we'll stop him."

The complaint from us immediately resounded.

"He has no ally. He's the only one." He added

Coach hadn't spoken yet when Mike responded.

"Oh come on. I won't let you be the only ones to enjoy."

'A-What does he mean?'

"We'll play too. Riez and I are on the side but we'll go first. Whoever hits the ball with him, the beautiful young lady will be with him."

"What ?!" we all shouted.

Third Person's POV

The game is now starting. All students, mapa-juniors and seniors alike are in the field. Even the teachers and the Dean. They are all watching.

The players are already in place.

Coach Edgar raised his right hand as a sign of preparation.

Nhiana tightened her gripped on the baseball bat.

"No one can own me, but him only." She mumbled and smiled

Everyone is focused on what happens next.

"She'll be mine." Riez said smiling

"No. You're wrong." Mike, who was next to him, said smiling

"Let's see then."

"Hayy ... it's hard to be beautiful too. It's being scrambled." Shane commented obviously nervous

Coach's strong seven soared to signal the start of the game.

Inevitably, spectators will not be nervous about the possible outcome of the game.

Jeanne threw the ball, and Riez grouped the ball in the direction of Nhiana who immediately hit it.

Everyone was amazed when the ball flew away.

Nhiana ran faster and she already went back to her place but the ball is still nowhere to be found.

"Yeah! That's right, Nhiana Ganda! Don't lose if you don't want to fall into the hands of one of them!" Kiel shouted.

"That's right! You'd better just pass me!" Hero shouted and Kiel immediately kicked him

"What's the matter ?!" he growled angrily

"Because I didn't like what you said!"

Those with them who were looking at the two were just shaken.

Everything is back in place.

"You're going to be mine, Beautiful." Smiling Mike said to Nhiana

"Goodluck, then." He was stunned when she flashed a sweet innocent smile.

The Coach whistled and as soon as Nhiana hit the ball, Mike and Riez seized it.

Nhiana ran quickly with the bat.

"Go Nhiana !!" everyone shouted and Ritchelle Kim's voice dominated there

Meanwhile, Riez and Mike scrambled for the ball. Riez kicked Mike and took the ball and ran.

But Mike recovered quickly and widened the gap between him and Riez so they both fell. Mike immediately grabbed the ball and threw it to Draco, one of his teammates.

Mike quickly stood up and ran. Draco threw the ball back to Mike and he quickly ran towards Nhiana who was close to returning to his seat.

Mike held out his hand to hit Nhiana with the ball.

"Nhiana!"

"Nhiana! Look out!"

The spectators shouted.

The game was so intense that even the Dean and teachers shouted.

"Come on, Nhiana. Don't get me wrong. You're freaking mine. Don't let one of them get your hands on them." Ivan said loudly in his mind.

The ball was two meters away from Nhiana. It was getting closer and closer in his direction. The others closed their eyes because they thought it would hit it but it seemed to jump in the air in slow motion so that it could avoid the ball.

"YESSSS !!" shouted the others

"Awful! He avoided even the impossible!"

It's not easy to avoid that. When the ball is approaching you will have a hard time thinking of how to avoid it but it is very natural for Nhiana to avoid it.

"Time's up !!" Coach Edgar shouted

"Wohoo !!!" shouted the spectators

"What ?! The speed!" Riez complained

"No time to talk, Coach!" Mike shouted

Their comrades also complained.

"I decided it." Nhiana replied gently

Both groups were hit because of its gentleness. They were even more amazed by its appearance. It was sweaty but there was no trace of tiredness on its face.

"Decided?" Nikita raised an eyebrow

"I'm the one who bets on this game so I'm right when the game ends. And I just end it now."

"Why is it so early? Are you afraid of losing and going to one of Mike and Riez?" Daisy asked sarcastically.

Nhiana innocently smiled.

"No.It's just that someone already owned me."

Everyone who heard sighed.

"Who ?!" they asked.

Ritchelle's POV

The game is over and everyone is back in their respective classes.

"WAHH !! You're great, beautiful witch!" I shouted and hugged her

"Yeah, baklita. You have so many opponents and you're alone but you still beat them." Shane said in amazement.

"You're so beautiful, Miss Ganda. There are so many people snatching you. Tsk. But it's okay, I know I'm still the heir --- Aray!" He suddenly sighed when Kiel hit him

"Don't be assuming, tsk." He said annoyed

And they agreed. War.

We were just shaken.

"The intensity of the game earlier ha. I would despise everyone just to get a Nhiana." Shaine said jokingly

"It's hard to be beautiful, isn't it? I'm fine, that's right." Yen replied

"Ay teh? Sakto lang? Mali ka ata. Kulang ka.Kulang." Pang-aasar ng bakla

"You're gay !!"

We laughed at their attitude.

I raised an eyebrow at Nhiana but my face became gentle when I saw Baby Eros looking at me.

'Enebe ...'

I sneezed and pretended to meet Nhiana's eyebrow.

"Who is that?" I asked

"Ha ??" he asked in surprise

"Who are you?" Lenie and Darsey asked

"The one who owns his heart." I replied smiling

They all looked at Nhiana who was bent over and blushing.

"Uyy ... yes. Who are you referring to huh? Huh?" Cyril asked teasingly

"Nhiana Ganda? Who is that? It's okay for you to say. I won't be hurt. I'll just be hurt." Kiel muttered

"Gosh, it's going to suck." I said and covered Hero's mouth just as he was about to speak

"Who are you, baklita?" Shane asked forcefully

"W-It's not here." Was its blushing answer

"Not here?" Baby Eros and Jay asked

It nodded.

We were surprised when Ivan suddenly left.

It used to be quiet. Anyway, it's always quiet.

"Dude! Where are you going ?!" Jay shouted

"Hell!" It shouted back

Jay chuckled while my Baby Eros grinned.

"What happened there?" We asked in surprise

"Did you smell something jelly, dude?" Jay asked Baby Eros

"I did."

"Oh, where are you going?" I asked Nhiana as she was about to walk away

"I need to get something in my car." She replied smiling and ran away

"W-Wait ... where is that going? The parking lot is just across the street." Cyril said in surprise

My forehead furrowed.

It traces the path where Ivan is going.

"Don't mind them." I looked up at the speaker next to me and saw Baby Eros.

'Wahh !! My eyes! Shaping hearts!'

His POV

"Tss! Who is he referring to?" I asked angrily as I faced the lone tree here in the garden surrounded by flowers.

I love this place but right now, I can't appreciate how beautiful the place is because of frustration.

I thought she's referring to me.Oh hell yeah! I assumed.So what? It's just that I felt like she's referring to me.Tsk!

"But who the hell is she referring to ?!" I asked in front of the tree as if it could answer me

'Arghh! I'm crazy!'

"Now, I'm starting to hate myself." I mumbled

"And now, I'm starting to think that you're crazy." Said a familiar voice

Hell.Who can forget that pure and gentle voice?

I slowly turned around and saw him smiling as his two arms crossed.

'Jeez ... eat me now, tree.'

Shit! She just saw me talking to the tree like crazy!

"Why are you talking to the tree? You look crazy." He said laughing

"Yes. I'm crazy. You're crazy." I whispered.

"It's true! I won't act like this if I'm not crazy ...... for her."

"Are you saying something?" It gave me a sweet smile

I stared at its lips.

'Are those lips could be sweeter than the cake?'

"I'm melting ..." she murmured

I averted my eyes.

I mentally grinned.

'I can make her melt? Damn! Is that a sign?'

But my applause was wiped away when I remembered what he said.

'Tsk! Badtrip! '

"What's with the face?" She asked

I sighed and sat down at the wooden bench that only two people can occupied.

"Nothing."

I distracted my eyes with the bees that were on top of the flowers.

"You look irritated." I held my breath as it sat next to me.

Our elbows met which delivered electricity inside my body.

'Shit!'

"Tell me. Maybe I can help you get rid of your irritation."

'Tss. You're the reason why I'm irritated.'

"Am I the reason for your irritation?" He suddenly asked, drowning me in my own saliva

'She can't read my mind, can she?'

"Yes --- I mean, no.Yes --- Aish!" I angrily messed up my hair

It laughed softly so I looked at it.

"What's with the chuckle?"

"You look so unusual.I found you cool and cold but now ..." She gazed at me and sweetly smiled.

"You're different. You're not as stuck as they say."

'Am I really stuck? Tsk. That's a major turn-off.'

"So, tell me. What's on your mind?"

I blow a loud breath.

"Who are you referring to?"

It turned me on.

Once it came to mind.

"Ah. That person who owned my heart?"

I was stunned.

'Does it need to be repeated?'

"Yes, that's it. Who is that?" I asked without interest

It looked into my eyes and its angelic smile slowly faded.

"You know him too well."
