Chapter 35 - Chapter Thirty Four

SARAH'S POV

Awakened by the gentle sun stroking on my face I felt a heavy thing on my hand.

I was about to get up when I saw him.

Why is he sleeping like this? Wait?

What happened last night?

Argh!!! I can't remember.

I guess I'll just hold up until he's awake.

Staring at his face, even though he's sleeping like this, he's still handsome and his lips--

What the? What am I thinking?

Pull yourself together Sarah..

He was still asleep but then I noticed some sweat on his forehead and her brows are frowning..

What's happening to him?

"WAYNE! wake up!"....I gently pat him on his shoulder but still he won't wake up.

"Hey, Wake up!"....this time I held his shoulder and tapped him hard.

But he still won't wake up?

Is he dreaming? No maybe he's having a nightmare so I should wake him up.

"Wake up you JERK"....I shouted and..

....he's awakened.

Thank god....

But he's panting so it must be a nightmare.

Just when I was about to look at him...

°O°

he hugged me?!

"Hey what--"....he cutted me off and hugged me tightly so I couldn't say anything. T-thank....y-you".....he mumbled between the hug. But..."What did I do?"

"T-thank you"...weird to see him acting like this but he's gone theough a nightmare so what can I do?

But!!

"Oh...sorry!"...he distanced himself.

But I acted arrogant again...

"Yeah right, but what happened?"...I asked. "Nothing happened so please leave"

It seems that he doesn't want to talk about it so I left.

But this damn mind of mine made me say these words aloud...

"What a jerk! Serves you right for having a nightmare"....oops this mouth really has no brakes.

He seems unstable, Is it really okay for me to leave now?

*Sigh* I'll just leave. He told me to leave so I'll leave.

Arghhh! Why canit I leave?!

I wasn't like this before...

Aish....whatever. I'll just cook and leave.

Soon I began searching food at his fridge. Good thing he wasn't like other guys who only store bottled water on their refrigerator.

So I took out the bacon, ham, three eggs.

It's just a somple breakfast but I hope he'll eat it.

I saw an apron in the other side so I went and wore it.

While cooking, I took a glance upstairs. He's not coming down..

Is he planning to starve himself there?

As I'm done cooking, I set up the table and took plates out. Simce I work on the cafe and living alone, I learned to cook.

Back then It was always mom who cooked me breakfast. But now that they're gone, I have to stand alone. I can't just accept their hard-earned money for me to spend.

"Hey!"...I cam back to my senses.

"Oh hey!"...I came calm, good thing.

"You really are stubborn, you didn't leave when I told you but went and cook?"...can't he just praise me for hood manners I have done.

I made him breakfast but now what?

"Fine I'm leaving, throw it if you don't want to eat it"...I said and started taking large strides towards the door.

"Tsh, fine leave then, but...t-thank you"...he stuttered, can't even praise me when we're talking.

"It's fine, I slept in your bed so It's the least I can do"...I said and closed the dolr of the house.

Looking back, I saw him on the window.

He's eating the food I made.

I don't know but it made me smile. It's the first time that I made a meal for other people except for Lesley.

When I got out of the gate, the scooter is still there. Since there are three scooters on the cafe, I guess the manager won't have to svold me so harsh.

I drove it back and when I got on the cafe, as expected the manager is looking for me.

And I thought she was gonna scold me but...

Instead...she...

"Sarah! Where the hell did you go? You were missing the whole night! Did you know that, we almost reported to the police? What happened? And why did you just come back right now?"...she spoke, flooding me with tons of questions.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Karla"...yes Karla is her name and she's pur manager here. "There was some problem I had to fix so it took me so long"...I explained and she got relieved when she heard that.

"You're probably tired, Just go home and rest, I'll let someone fill your shift today, go and rest okay. Next time I won't make you deliver again. I'm sorry."...she apologized but It's a good thing that she won't have me to deliver again.

Because if she do, I might have to sleep in other people's bed again.

So as she said. I went home and crashed myself on my bed. I got sleep last night but why do I feel so tired.

Oh right! I have a report to do but who's partner again?

Yeah...it was Crane..

But how do I meet him?

Should I ask Jerk?

Yeah, I don't have his number so maybe I'll just go to him.

That's right!

~●~

"Why are you back?"...he's such a jerk.

"I'm not here for you but for your friends number"...I said directly.

And then he crossed his arms infront of me.

"And why do you need it?"...he asked.

"He's my partner for the presentation"...I said while raising one of my eyebrows.

"Tsh...fine....here"....he handed me the number.

He's pretty easy today?

He's not grumpy as ever haha.

Looking at the numbers, I opened my phone and unlocked it first.

Then I went to the contacts and add his friend's number.

If it wasn't about the presentation, I wouldn't go all the way here for that.

While typing, I can sense him staring at me but I didn't care much so I kept on typing.

When I'm done I saved his friend's no.

But something's suspicious...

"Is this really his number?"...I asked. I can sense it. What if he's tricking me.

"Try calling him"...he suggested and I did what he told.

Dialing...01*********

It was ringing....

But why does it feel like it's near and I can almost hear it.

What the?!

"Pfft..hahahahah, funny you did try calling him"...just what I can do to this jerk..hmm?

Boogsh!

I kicked him on his knees.

"Ah! Argh!"...he groaned in pain.

"Nice try for tricking me, now give me your friends number will you?"...I said but then he stood up.

"You know you shouldn't kick someone like that because it can get back to you"...he said.

Oh no!

He's cornering me..

"What are you--"...I bump on the hard wall and he cornered me. With his face near my face.

"So much for that kick huh"...this jerk really know how to get back.

As I was about to make my move he even moved more closer that our nose was almost touching..

"Let go"...he's super close and I'm barely breathing.

What should I do?

"No I won't"...he insisted and I felt more nervous. My heart was beating so loud that it can burst any minute.

"Wayne, please let me go, I'm not joking"...I pleaded, but then he's still not going to let me go.

"Wayne! Pleas--"

Tsup!

I was shocked.

He kissed me...

This is my second time. And it's with him again...

It lasted more than a second before he let go.

It surprised me so I slapped him involuntarily.

I don't know what I am feeling but I started walking away.

"Hey, I'm so--"..he was about to catch up on me but I stopped him.

"Please,"....my heart's beating crazy and I feel hot all over my face.

When I got in my car. I face-palmed and laid my head on the stirring wheel.

I think I'm going crazy.

Why?

Why did he have to kiss me?

And why's this stupid heart.

Keep beating like crazy?

Why?
