"You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving. The great acts of love are done by those who are habitually performing small acts of kindness. We pardon to the extent that we love. Love is knowing that even when you are alone, you will never be lonely again. And great happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved. Loved for ourselves. & even loved despite ourselves." -Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

"I had been talking with you nicely since a while ago, but you still didn't even give me the benefits of the doubt, and worst you forcibly pulled me out of the line! I don't think that was something I can easily forgive! Call your manager! I want to talk to him or her!" I demanded.
"M-ma'am?" The guard pleaded but my decision is firm!
I will no longer let anyone stepped on my pride that easily! I am not letting him off the hook.
"There is no need for that! Your sorry is enough! She's with me, just don't that again!" The jerk suddenly came, as he pulled me out of the commotion.
I tried to pull my hands away from him, but he's gripped is too tight that whatever struggles I do, I just can't get my hands off him...
"LET ME GO FUCKING ASSHOLE! IT FUCKING HURTS!" I complained as I punch his shoulder with my other hand.
"Stop struggling and just go with me bitch! Stop making a ruckus inside this freaking mall!" He reproves me, while still pulling my hand.
"Your gripped hurts! Fuck you!" I cuss while trying to pull my hand away.
I was in the middle of my struggle when he suddenly let go of my hand which made me off-balance.
I closed my eyes and was ready to have my back, say hello to Mr. Tiled Floor when I felt someone hold my waist for support.
When I open my eyes, I found Ace an inch away from my face, as he looked into my eyes...
I could feel his breath fan my face, as the smell of fresh mint consumes my whole being...
His manly scent is way too addicting, which want to have him for myself.
I stare at his gorgeous face for a few seconds when I suddenly heard some whisper from the people inside the mall.
"What the hell are they doing?"
"Are they making a film here? I wonder where is the camera?"
"What kind of post is that?"
"Hey, girl! Look! That guy is so handsome!"
"That guy's face is so near that twelve-year-old kid! Are they about to kiss?"
"Wooooahhh! Pedophile spotted! Let's go and call for FBI!"
"That little girl is so cute! What the hell is her brother going to do with her? Maybe we should call the police?"
"Wait! Are they dancing the waltz inside this freaking mall? I don't hear any waltz music around!"
Ace's face started to become red, as his eyes averted my gaze.
He suddenly let go of my waist and have me fall flat on the floor.
"What the- JERK! WHY THE FUCKING HELL DID YOU-" I was not able to finish whatever it is that I was about to say when he suddenly rush himself through the swarm of the people buying inside the mall.
"Tss, jerk!" I said annoyed while rubbing my back.
It fucking hurts!
I was just thankful that my sprained ankle no longer hurt so bad like a while ago, because if not, then I am probably cussing all demons, just to kill that asshole! GRRRRR!!!
I walk towards an ice cream stall, inside the mall and buy one for myself, and decided to walk towards the nearest bench.
I seat on it while licking my chocolate ice cream, as I scroll on my phone...
Since I am already here, might as well enjoy my own company and observe the people passing by with my phone...
I put on my camera and decided to take pictures of myself while holding my ice cream. I post different wacky poses and weird faces as I take my selfie.
When I got bored, I decided to just observe the people passing by who are with their family, friends, or love ones.
I heave a sigh and wonder where that idiot go.
I was about to get out of the bench when a guy with a huge teddy bear, approach me...
I arch my eyebrows as I look at the guy who had himself covered by a life-size teddy bear...
I was about to walk past him when the jerk suddenly show himself and gave me the teddy bear which is 3/4 of my size.
So meaning, I am only a few inches taller than the teddy bear, Ace gave me.
I furrowed my eyebrows, as I throw dagger looks on him.
"What's this for?" I asked him annoyed and a bit hurt by the fact that he just left me there, after dragging me here while asking me to go on a date with him.
"My apology gift from leaving you alone here.." He said shyly while looking down at his shoe.
"Apology NOT accepted. Do you have any idea how painful my back is because of you? Or even how painful my wrist was because of your tight grip? And to top it all up, how painful my foot was when you start dragging me around, without even giving me a bit of consideration that I am fucking injured? And here you are, asking for your apology using this bear? What is this for? I am already hungry, and yet you are giving me this useless garbage, instead of feeding me with edible food?" I yelled at him, but he just remained silent.
"I..."
"I'll treat you nicely next time?" He said asking me while trying to peek through his lashes.
"No." my firm answer.
"You can keep the teddy bear, plus I will buy you ten boxes of Hershey's chocolate and a Jollibee meal?" He offers...
The sound of his offer makes me drool just by hearing them...
Plus, the fact that I can have my favorites for free!
I didn't show him that I am getting excited by his offer, so I act like I don't care about it, and tighten my hug to this fluffy white teddy bear.
"Plus you should buy me Yakult!" I demanded which made his face brighten and his smile wider.
"Call!" He said happily.
"I'll only forgive you after all the said offer is in my hands."
