Chapter one>>> shouldn't you compensate me?
Sara sat down with her best friend Mia sipping a glass of milk shake. They were inside the college cafe. It was free period. Mia finally looked up and let out a gasp, kicking Sara's leg from under the table. Since she was facing the door, Mia could see who was about walking in. Sara winced, but suddenly sniffed the air. She knew this scent,.this particular scent she had grown accustomed to. Jason was here...
She turned just as he walked in. He was looking like a god, with his disheveled hair. Hmm, even the sun supports what she just said since it shone on him. Then it all turned sour, when she saw a girl clinging unto his arm. In shock, she spat out the milk shake which she was yet to swallow, sputtering it over his shirt.
'oh my god. Sara, you're stupid' she scolded herself as she pulled out the tissue she had stuck in her breast and tried to wipe the stain off.
"am sorry. I am sorry ..so sorry". She said, still cussing herself in her head.
Jason stared at the petite figure in front of him. And where the hell did she just bring out that tissue from?? She jumped, and jumped, and when she saw she couldn't reach, she climbed on her chair and leaned to clean it, but he took two steps backwards, making her stumble and fall.
OK, why did it have to happen when the cafe was all full?? Huh? The crowd erupted with laughter! Haven't she embarrassed herself enough? She was too ashamed to get up. Luckily Mia stood up and helped her up. What are best friends for??
Sara kept looking down, not knowing what to say. "You, don't you have manners? Look how you ruined his expensive shirt". The girl who was clinging unto him asked. She looked at her in disgust.
"hey, she didn't mean to". Mia replied, standing up for her best friend. "she said she's sorry, what more do you want huh?". She asked. Then she pointed at Jason "you! Why did you have to move back? She was trying to clean it up, and..". Sara tugged gently at her shirt, asking her to stop. In as much as she was just embarrassed because of him, she didn't like the fact that Mia was shouting at him. She knew Mia was just being a good friend though.
Mia stopped talking. She glared at Jason and whoever that girl was. She pulled Sara's arm in an attempt to leave the cafe, but Sara was pulled back. Sara looked at the hand that held her.
'holy fuck! Jason touched me. He fucking held my arm'. She danced in her head, momentarily forgetting the current situation.
"shouldn't you compensate me?". He asked with slightly raised brows. Sara gawked at him.
He leaned in as he kissed her. "That's just the beginning of the compensation". Jason whispered, pulling her close.
Jason stared at the girl in awe. Was she daydreaming. She pouted her lips in a way, as if asking for a kiss. Her eyes were closed, and she was even making kiss sounds now??
He poked at her forehead and she flinched, earning another roar of laughter from the crowd. What a show!!
She shook her head vigorously. Did she just fantasize about him, that too in his presence? Could this day get any worse??
"hu..hh..what did you say?".
"Compensate me!".
"how much is t?".
"$10,000".
'oh that was chea....wait $10,000??'. Her eyes almost bulged out of their socket.
All her savings combined won't even go quarter. She turned to look at Mia who shook her head. She also didn't have up to that amount.
"Ca..can't I wash it?". She asked with hopeful eyes.
"Tsk! With what? Do you know the detergents used in washing his clothes?".
"Hey blabbermouth shut up". Mia retorted. Who did this twat think she is??
"fine then. Wash it". He said, replying Sara. She just blinked at him.
"Huh..".
"didn't you say you want to wash it?". He asked, raising his perfect brows at her.
"hmm. Yes". She nodded immediately, scared he might change his mind.
"So give me something to change into!".. He replied lazily.
"uhm..". She scratched her head. Oh wait! Her college hostel was close by. She could just rush home and get him a shirt. Simple!! "I'll go get you something". She said, and was about running off, but his grip tightened on her arm. She looked at him, and then at his arm, gripping her.
'huh? Won't you let me go?'.
"You have just three minutes. After that, I won't accept that petty offer!". He said lazily.
"hu, but.. ".
"2:58...57...." . he said, tapping his wrist watch.
"oh my...". She quickly rushed out, glad he released her, but sad cause she missed his touch on her hand.
She ran to her apartment which was a two minutes walking distance from the cafe. She ran as fast as she could. On getting there, she ransacked her wardrobe and finally found a white polo that was too big on her. She rushed back, breathing heavily.
"Here!". She said, trying to calm down. She stretched out her hand, but the cloth wasn't pulled away. Confused, she looked at him. "What?". She asked.
"You're 30 secs late". He said, looking at gold wrist watch, which was slightly bigger than his wrist.
"But it's just 30 seconds ". She grumbled.
"Yeah, just accept the fucking cloth already". Mia groaned. How did Sara crush on this ass all these while? What did she see in him? Well...*Cough Cough* there is a lot to see in him; his abs, his face, jawline, lips..oh god, his eyes, he is smart and....Okay, that's not the point.
He had a sly smile on his face as he accepted the cloth, went to the back of the cafe and changed. He handed the stained one to Sara, and she mouthed an apology again. Mia pulled Sara away since they had another class.
"Why did you accept this? Look how old fashioned it is. It doesn't suit your style". The girl who came in with him, blabbered. He looked at her without saying anything. He inhaled softly. He could smell the scent of that shorty on the cloth, and it was pleasing.
The girl besides him, whose name was Daisy frowned. She also had nostrils, and she could scent the nice but cheap perfume coming from the cloth. She clung unto him again, but he pulled her arms away.
"You can stop now!". He said, and walked ahead of her. She clenched her fists, her knuckles almost turning white. She rushed to meet up with him, plastering a fake smile on her face.
