" What are you talking about?" Jian asked with his knitted brows. "There's no such thing between me and Victoria, everything about us is over!"
"C'mon Jian! Do you think you can fool me?!"
Natalie asked sarcastically.
"I am not fooling you Nana! I am telling the truth!" Jian insisted.
"Oh! Really?!" Natalie raised her brows.
"Then, why did you brought her in your house the night before I left?"
"And you slept in he same room and the same bed!"
"What?!" Jian asked with his eyes wide opened!
"What the he'll are you talking about?!"
"I saw it with my own two eyes Jian!" Natalie's voice raised!
"She's the one who opened the door when I was about to wake you up!" She added.
"No!" Jian tried to defend his self. "It's not what you think Nana! We haven't slept together!"
"Ohws? Then why is she on your bedroom that morning?!"
"Believe me! I didn't sleep with her!" Jian took a deep breath before he continue, "I brought her home that night because she was drunk. Well, I tried to bring her to her own apartment but I couldn't find her key, I can't bring her to the hotel either because I was afraid that it might create rumors about us. So, I don't have a choice but to bring her home but we didn't slept in the same room because I slept on the other room next to mine."
Natalie stared at Jian as if she's sizeing him up.
"What about the kiss in the set?!" Natalie asked again. It's not easy for her to believe him because she saw them with her own naked eyes!
And she's afraid to get hurt again.
"That kiss... She just approached me that day to say thank you for helping her but I was startled when she suddenly kissed me!" He replied.
"Why would I believe you?!"
"Because I am telling the truth!" Jian replied again. "What do you want me to do, just for you to believe me?" Jian asked.
"Jump off to the water!" Natalie said with her cold expression.
"If I do that, would you you will believe me then?" Jian said in a serious expression.
"Tsss..." Natalie scoffed. " If you do that, that means you're crazy!" Natalie replied.
It was dark and the water looked deep and scary. Natalie doubt if Jian got the courage to jump off to the water!
Natalie turned to leave but she froze when she suddenly heard a splash of water like someone has jump off to the water!
Natalie's footsteps came to a stop and she instantly turned her head to Jian but she was startled to realized the Jian wasn't already standing on the spot where he was standing earlier!
Natalie felt her heart skipped a beat!
She hurriedly took a steps towards the railing of the yacth and she looked down to the water but all she saw are the bubbles on the water which indicated that someone jump off there!
Natalie's eyes went wide open!
Her heart beats faster and she feel like someone splashed her an ice cold water!
He really jump off to the water!
"J-Jian!" Natalie called Jian's name but no one came out from the water!
"Jian come out!" Natalie called again!
Her breathing increased and she already felt anxious!
NO! It can't be!
What if something happened to him?!
"Hey Jian! Stop joking! Just come out from the water please!" Natalie started to cry.
She was afraid that Jian might have get drowned!
If that happened Natalie would never forgive her self!
(sobs, sobs, sobs)
"No, please! Come out!" Natalie shouted again!
This can't be!
This is all my fault!
I gotta save him!
With that thought, Natalie remove her shoes one by one.
But when she was about to jump into the water to save Jian, she automatically froze when she saw the deep and scary water!
An then an image of a ten years old girl drowning on the ocean suddenly flash into her mind!
Natalie's face turned pale and her body trembled !
She can't!
She can't do it!
She doesn't have the courage to jump on the water!
She has thalassophobia!
She almost die due to drowning when she tried to escape from her kidnappers eight years ago!
Her phobia to the deep water started there!
Natalie staggered back she was so afraid and she feel like she would faint anytime!
"Nana!"
But then someone suddenly pulled her from behind her and bring her into his embrace!
"Ha!" Natalie was startled!
But she was shocked and she doesn't know how to react!
When she snapped back to her senses, Natalie slowly lifted her head to look at the person who pulled her!
It was Jian!
His dress is soaked !
"J-Jian!" Natalie blurted out when she realized it was Jian who pulled her!
But her anxiousness turns into anger when she was able to compose her self!
Sje suddenly push him away and yelled at him.
"Yah! Why did you do that!?"
"You're really out of your mind!"
"You're crazy and stupid!"
Natalie yelled to Jian.
"Are you really going to kill me due to fright?!"
"What if something bad happened to you!?:
"Do you even think what would I feel if you get drowned?!"
Natalie just keep on talking and she doesn't care what words that came out from her mouth!
Jian pursed his lips to conceal his smile.
Just by seeing Nana's reaction, he know that she also care for him!
"Why? What would you feel if I got drowned on the water?"
"I---" Natalie froze when she saw Jian's faint smile.
What did I just say?
Natalie asked her self.
"Nana, so you believe me now?" Jian asked when Natalie become silent.
