Chereads / The Guy in a Coffee Shop / Chapter 28 - Escape From The Fans

Chapter 28 - Escape From The Fans

As I stroll near the bank, I notice that there are many people, mostly girls, at the park as if they are waiting for someone. Is there any celebrity that could gather fans at the park? Yet I shrug it off and step inside the bank since gossiping not my main purpose why I'm here. 

After my appointment inside the bank, my brow furrows, noticing that most of them aren't leaving the place. 

What is going on? Then, I glimpse around and slowly walk towards them to know the reason why they are kept on looking elsewhere. 

And I stand with them, gossiping on what's happening but my brows furrow when there's no even around the park and so, I tap the girl's shoulder beside me to ask her. 

"Can you tell me what's happening?" I ask. 

Then, she turns as her eyes gaze at me before pointing out the man who's eating alone inside the restaurant. 

"We want to take a picture of him but the restaurant doesn't allow it." He responds. 

I hum as my answer whilst trying to take a glimpse of the man inside the restaurant yet I can't see clearly. But before I could walk out, the girls suddenly sprint towards the restaurant whilst screaming as if they are being chased. 

"Christian!" A girl yells whilst taking a picture of him. 

Christian? As in Christian Park? 

I walk past them, who's just halting the door of the restaurant and the guard doesn't control the crowd to protect Christian, who gets stuck in the crowd. And they are rumbling, striving to take a picture or touch his body. 

"Christian, please take a picture with me!" The girl with long hair assets as she tries to take a picture of him.

"I'm sorry, I can't accommodate all of you so please give me space so I could walk through." Christian pleads yet they choose to ignore him, instead, they continually take a picture of him. 

"I need to save him from the crowd," I whisper.

Hence, I take out my cup and my sunglasses as I push my hair to disguise myself as a guy. Luckily, I'm currently wearing my uniform along with Justin's jacket. 

I slowly strive to reach Christian's spot, who's very stuck in the crowd and save him from them. Thereafter, I successfully come to his position and grab his wrist to pull him closer to me. He flinches at my touch as he looks at me. Then, I smile at him, reassuring him that it's going to be fine. 

"Let's go," I whisper to him, pushing the crowd away from him while the girls hit my body as I protect Christian from the crowd. 

"GET AWAY FROM MY CHRISTIAN!" The girl yells at me but I choose to ignore it and push them away. 

"Just hold my hand, Christian," I utter while I continue pushing them away. 

And when we successfully get out of the crowd, hurriedly, we sprint away from them. 

"WAIT FOR US CHRISTIAN!" They yell whilst they're chasing after us. 

Then, I look around, striving to find a hideout without stopping from running. 

"Over there, Mimi."

Christian points to the small space between two buildings. And so, I nod and we hurriedly reach the space and hide from the crowd. I peek from the outside to see if they follow us but I quickly hide when hearing footsteps from our direction. 

"Where are they?" I hear one of the girls asking another girl.

"We should go there." One of them replies. 

I take a peek again to see if they are gone. I sigh in repeat when the girls are nowhere to be found. 

"Wear this," I mumble as I take my cap and sunglasses before placing it on him, concealing his identity. 

"Tsa, You're fully covered now." I smile.

"Let's go?" He nods. 

My heart jumps when he suddenly grabs my waist whilst pushing me closer to him. I feel his warmth around my wrist as my heart beats rapidly as if I couldn't breathe. 

I can't take it anymore! I feel like I'm passing out when his perfect jawline displays in front of me as his pink plump lips tempt me to kiss it. What is happening to me? I sound like a maniac! 

"We're finally here." 

I snap into reality when she shakes my head. He ratifies me to sit with him and so I nod. I sit beside him and observe the place. 

"It's picnic grounds," I mutter as my eyes gaze at the people around the picnic ground. And I smile when seeing the kids playing around the place. 

"Thank you for saving me from the crowd." He says as he leans his back at the backrest of the bench.

"It's nothing. I need to save you from them since you're being uncomfortable around the crowd so I did what's right. And we successfully escaped from them." He hummed while crossing his arms.

"I didn't know that they recognized me in the crowd."

"You're a famous actor so they certainly recognize you even if you're from far away."

"Sometimes, I forgot that I'm famous so I'm being reckless and didn't cover myself. I just want to be free but I guess it's not going to happen." 

He then chuckles, taking out the cup before he bestows it back to me.

"So thank you for saving me from the crowd. I really don't know what to do." I smile whilst patting his shoulder.

"It's fine. I'm pleased that I'm being helpful."

"Yes, you—wait I heard a phone was ringing. Was that yours?"

"Ohh, it's mine. Wait, I'll answer this call." I say as I grab my phone inside my pocket and I stand up to answer the call.

"Mia! You need to get back to the shop. They're so many customers and we didn't take it anymore. We're tired!" Theo whines on the other phone.

"Okay, I'll be right there as soon as possible."

"Yes, please!" I hung up as I hurriedly walk back to the bench to grab my bag. 

"I need to get back to the shop," I inform him so I could get back.

"What happened?" He asks. 

"They were struggling with customers. They didn't know what to do so I need to help them as soon as possible." I explain.

 Then, I place the cup inside my bag but before I could leave, I stop from my track when he holds my wrist and so I glance at him with my brows raised in confusion. 

"I..."

"Yes?" I ask, smiling at him. 

"I want to pay you back from saving me to the crowd."

"What? No need, Christian." 

"No, not that. I... I want to invite you tomorrow for dinner." I gasp, covering my mouth. I don't believe that he's inviting me over. 

"W-what?"

"I'm asking you out for dinner... as… as payback from saving me." I nod and smile.

"Okay." I don't know why I'm slightly disappointed when he asks me out for paying me back from saving him. 

What is happening to me? Christian… You really are the death of me.
