Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Dimitra smiled widely while Joel was holding her hand with their fingers intertwined and the two were just getting out of a restaurant where they had their meal.

The young couple was walking down the streets of the city holding each other close and not caring much about the looks some passersby's were giving them. She sure liked that about him. How he never seemed shy or embarrassed to be by her side no matter what she was wearing or what goofy behaviour she was displaying. In public or in private he supported her and showed his love for her with the same passion and boldness.

Joel looked over at her and flashed her a smile after he noticed that Dimitra was staring at him then he halted his steps and stepped before her, getting her to gift him a brief confused expression that grew even more intense as he kneeled in front of her all of a sudden, making Dimitra's eyes grow wide at his unexpected action.

At her lips grew a sweet and full of adoration for this boy, that proceeded to tie the shoelace that was undone and she found herself wondering one more time about her luck because she certainly found it difficult sometimes to believe that she had found him.

Joel returned to his straight posture after he had finished tying her shoelace then he proceeded to smile at her again as his hand made its way to her and gently caressed it.

"You are so clumsy. Do you wanna fall and get hurt?" He sweetly scolded her before taking her hand in his again.

"Sorry, I didn't notice it." She responded then smiled at her recklessness as well as her boyfriend's sweetness.

"Where do you want to go, next babe?" Joel questioned her, a quick wink following his words that made Dimitra blush a little.

"What? You intend to get me to more places?" She asked in surprise since the restaurant was the second place they visited.

"Of course babe. I left you waiting for me for a whole month. I have to make it up to you." He gently left a peck on her hand before taking her to a shop with plushies that had happened to fall on his notice on their way to the restaurant.

The sound of Lisa's hand coming in contact with Shiro's cheek echoed across the room, bringing the tension to rise immediately along with the nerves of both of the involved individuals.

"What the heck do you think you are doing?!" She yelled at his face like crazy as she was trembling a little from the shock his actions had caused her.

"Well sorry but you weren't shutting up and you made me mad. So as an opposition. It just happened." He tried to explain while he himself hadn't come to terms yet with what he had done.

"What?! And every time you get mad you kiss whoever?! Perverted Pervert!" Rage was visible in her eyes as she started pacing left and right in the room, in an attempt to keep herself from murdering him right then and there.

"Here you go again with the offensive words. Listen, I may have not hit you earlier because you are a girl but this time around I might forget that fact." Shiro threatened even though he knew well that he couldn't do such a thing even though he hated her for what she did to him in the past and he will never ever forget it nor forgive her.

" Go to hell! Do you seriously have the nerve to threaten me? Let's see what will Sophia say about this sudden outburst of anger of yours." Now was Lisa's turn to threaten and she did so while gathering her stuff and putting them back in her bag in a rush.

"Go tell her. I don't care. Are you sure though that after she learns about your past she would still believe you? I for once will deny everything. So go tell her. Let's see who's words weigh more." Shiro crosses his arms over his chest, then calmly took a seat at his couch, an uninterested gaze present in his eyes as if he had everything under control and she could not do him any damage whatsoever no matter what she was to say to his girlfriend.

The two had a staredown intense moment as she contemplated to hit him again or not but ultimately she just left without answering him, slamming the door behind her cause of anger.

She just ran down the stairs quickly and went to her room, trying to calm herself down before the girls return home and get suspicious that something was wrong with her.

---change of set---

Sophia was looking around in the supermarket to find what she wanted to buy while Jamie was some feet away looking for his own stuff.

As she was looking around she suddenly felt someone standing close behind her and after she turned around to see, her facial expression became displeased as she came to face a young stranger that was inviting her personal space. "Excuse me, Sir. Can you keep some distance, please? You are inviting me personal space." She told him coldly and sternly while she tried to hide her desire to smack him in the face so hard that he would start seeing stars.

"Why do I have to? You don't own this space." The stranger rudely answered while he left his eyes to travel on Sophia's body, a thing that got to her nerves even more.

"Can you stop bothering my girlfriend or should I stop being so peaceful." Jamie's voice was heard as he approached Sophia and placed his arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer to him in protection. He had uttered words that were not true however after seeing the scene that was the only thing that popped in his mind to say and so he ended up doing.

"Really? She is your girlfriend? If that's true then why didn't she ask for your help on her own" The stranger persisted, not willing to go and leave such a chance of approaching a pretty and attractive girl like Sophia was.

"I don't really care if you believe it or not, my friend. Get lost!" Jamie gave him a deadly stare and just took her by her wrist and walked away from that creep, thinking that after that he will back off and mind his business.

"Thank you" Sophia murmured softly to him and Jamie just smiled before patting her back. "Don't thank me, it was the least I could do."

He let go of her wrist and approach his cart again, placing some more things he had selected and headed to the cash out with Sophia following him and leaving the shampoo she wanted to get for another time.

Once they got out of the supermarket and the two were walking towards their car, Sophia noticed the same young guy that bothered her earlier, waiting at the corner of the parking lot, probably for her to pass by.

She silently followed Jamie to the car while giving stern glances at the stranger and after Jamie placed his stuff on the back seat of his car, he turned around to look her way and happened to follow her gaze, noticing the annoying stranger as well.

He left an exhale of annoyance escape his lips then boldly looked towards the stranger, giving him an angered look before he grabbed Sophia's wrist and pulled her closer. Then he brought their lips to contact making Sophia's eyes go wide at the expectancy of his actions.

In a panic, she tried to push him away but Jamie kept her in place while his eyes were pinned on that guy, making it clear to him that Sophia was his and as thus out of his league. The stranger decided to accept his loss and Jamie pulled back immediately after he got out of sight.

"Can someone explain to me what did I just witnessed?" A voice was heard from behind them and they both turned around to see who it belonged to.

"Wait! It's not what it seems like. I can explain," Jamie stepped immediately away from Sophia, now obviously nervous facing his friend's judgemental gaze as he had most likely misunderstood the situation.

Sophia on the other hand just lowered her head, still unable to believe how unlucky she had been once again, for, from all the people that could have witnessed this, it had so happened to be her ex.
