Chereads / THE FALL OF A GUARDIAN / Chapter 5 - Chapter 4

Chapter 5 - Chapter 4

Ynnah

"Ynnah! please.."

Goodness! What the hell is he doing!? Does he think I still have plans to get him back? Even if he would going to make an embarrassing scandal here at the Mall, I will never come back to him!

- -

"Y-ynnah?" he asked in surprise.

"Yeah, it's me... Xander."

He blinked a few times, seems like he couldn't believe that after two years our path will cross once again. He hems for a seconds before he spoke.

"How are you? It's been a while. I have no information from you after what happened," he said as he bit his lower lip and avoided my gaze.

Feeling guilty, huh?

"Well-" I flashed a smile towards him that made him taken aback. "I'm good and yes it's been a while so I moved on forthwith. We went home to Korea for some important matters. Oh, c'mon! Why do you care anyway? Nonetheless, how are you and the woman you replaced me with? "

He looked at me forthwith as the expression on his face came to be awful.

"Why? Did I say something?" I ask once again when he wasn't able to answer my question.

"Ynnah-" he muttered. "After those occurrences I already ignored her. My Mom was the only one nudging me with that woman." I shut for a moment letting him spoke. "When you broke up with me I felt my life was a mess. I even get drunk every night. Hence, when I got up I always looked for you but, you already left. My life was depressing and miserable-" he bit his lower lip before he continues. "Ynnah, you know how much I love you. Trust me, I do, and I regret everything I did before. Please, I hope you forgive me and give me another chance to be a better person for you," he said as he held my hand but I just ignored it.

"I'm sorry." I step back. "I can forgive you, but I couldn't give you another chance. I hope you understand—"

"Let's start a new. Sweetie, we can start a new." He insisted but I refused.

"Just move on, Xander. I don't love you anymore—"

"But I love you! I love you so damn much, Ynnah!"

"If you love me, you wouldn't have done that in the first place!" I trailed off that made him stilled. "If you love me, you won't hurt me and you will not be able to do that even more or so! But what can we do? It's already done, and you can no longer fix what has already happened." I bit my lower lip to control my emotions. "I am sorry, Xander. As I had said earlier, I can forgive you but I can't give you another chance that you're asking for, so please excuse me. " I said as I turned around and was about to leave but he holds my arm to stop me from doing so.

"Ynnah please, don't do this to me," he begged but I didn't give a damn.

"Xander please, let me go." I said in authority.

But he just shook his head in disagreement. "No! Sweetie please."

"Xander I said, let me go!" I exclaimed as I shoved him with full force and walked away, but he followed me.

- -

And now, we both look like dumb heads here inside the mall because of him. I am avoiding his existence but he keeps on bothering me! Can't he just understand that I don't want nor love him anymore? He's being annoying already!

"Ynnah, please." He forced me to faced him the moment he finally chased me.

"Go away!" I said. "I already have a boyfriend so please! Stay away from me!" I turn my back to move away from him but he immediately held my hand so fast as he forced me to face him again.

"Ynnah-"

"What the hell, Xander? Let go off of my hand! Stay away!" I threw his hand away from mine.

He is annoying as fuck!

"Ynnah please, I apologize for everything I did," he begged. "I know that you don't have a boyfriend yet, and I understand that you only telling me that because you're mad at me. Please I beg you, give me another chance-"

"Snap out of it, Xander!" I finally exclaimed in annoyance. "Goodness! It's been two years and you're still like that? Can't you just move on and get lost? You're only wasting your time. I told you, I already have a boyfriend so will you please? Stop being delusional! You're just looking stupid!" I said with gritted teeth because of irritation.

I don't care if we are making a scene here, it's irritating! And seriously? He tends to scandalize here in the mall. Does he have no shame left in his body? They were just the same as the woman he traded for me. Scandalous! Like the fuck?

"No, Ynnah! I will only acknowledge it when you face him with me and-"

"Babe!" I cut him from what he was about to say when I saw someone walking in our direction while holding his phone.

The man turned to me, looking so curious. He is wearing all-black outfits, black hoodies, black fitted pants, and black shoes. His black hair was a bed-made in short, a Messy hair that made you fascinated at first sight.

Gosh! He looks like a damn hot model!

Nice choice, why do I felt so lucky right now.

I smiled while looking back at Xander, and the moment I saw how his face clenched his jaw, I grab the opportunity to pull back my hand from his tight grasp while he is still distracted, priceless, and insecure at the same time looking at the man behind him.

Like duh? Who wouldn't be priceless and insecure if you saw an Angel behind you? I moved toward the man who was still gazing at me in confusion.

I pluck his arm and cling my both arms into his as I gaze back at my Ex with a wide grin that formed to my lip, then face the stranger beside me with my puppy eyes.

Yuck!

Me? Doing puppy eyes is freaking bullshit!

This is the first time I am doing this kind of crap!

"Finally! You're already here, babe. I've been waiting for you for a while now." I emphasize that 'Babe' thingy to make it more sensible. "Anyway, Xander. " I shifted my gaze to my Ex with his still the same reaction, he seems to have become too overreacting. "He's my boyfriend that I was saying a while ago. "

"What?" The stranger asked me bewildered.

"Just go with the flow, please?" I whimpered so as not to be noticed. Then I shifted my gaze back to my ex who still couldn't believe what he's seeing right now.

"Y-ynnah? You're kidding right, sweetie?" he said as he took a step towards us which made me move a step back that makes him stuck on his feet at the moment.

"No, and why would I?" I tightened my grip on the man next to me who was just quietly watching us.

Good thing this guy doesn't do something to make me embarrassed from my show.

"I don't believe you! You're just-" he halted when I turned my gaze facing the person beside me as I kissed him lightly on the lips without having any second thoughts.

It's just a matter of seconds before I pulled myself from that kiss and faced my fucking Ex once again.

"Satisfied? Now back off!" I said then pulled the stranger that I just kissed but didn't even know him without saying anything.

Goodness! Earth, swallow me with the embarrassment I reached now! Please!

When we left that place, the stranger I was dragging suddenly stopped from walking, causing me to also stop dragging him.

"I think he can't follow us here already," he said looking at me but I just avoided his gaze.

Fuck! I just now felt ashamed because of what happened earlier!

"I-'m sorry for what happened a while ago, I didn't mean to-" what I was about to say hung up in the air when he unexpectedly grabbed me by the nape and kissed me on the lips!

Like, what the actual fuck?!

My body stilled as my eyes widened in great surprise.

"There! Now we're even. You're already paid for that mess you've done." His voice was deep and sexy. I couldn't counter to what he did because even if I want to, I can't. I can't find my words to say as if my tongue is receding.

Shit!

He crossed his arms while a side of his lips tilted up. It was not a smile but a smirk.

He smirked as he stared at me, in a steady gaze that suddenly made my hair on my neck stand. It was a scary smirk coming from a gorgeous face that didn't seem simple to read through.

But at the back of my thoughts, he seems to be so familiar but I didn't remember if when and where did I saw him. Those coal-black lackluster eyes.

Do I know him?

Suddenly my knees softened. I was trembling as I stared into his black eyes and I feel like any moment from now I will fall. But before that thing happened, he suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me away from that place without losing my gaze on him even though he already turned his back.

I just found myself entering a coffee shop near the mall I went to earlier while this man with me was still dragging me.

Wait, why are we here anyway?

When we already entered the coffee shop, he immediately looked for a vacant table. He saw that there was a table for two not far from us so he dragged me there once again without me being able to move.

I noticed that only a few of us were here, there were couples and groups of teenagers around taking selfies and telling stories while drinking coffee. I suddenly felt cold for the reason why I was here. I saw the guy that I just grab a while ago ordering two cups of coffee at the counter so I grab the chance to stealthy move picking up my sling bag to leave the coffee shop but just I was only a few steps near the glass door, a hand grabs me by the arm.

I immediately stood up straight while my heart was beating fast in pace because of uneasiness. I slightly closed my eyes and swallowed in no time as I slowly lifted my gaze from the owner's hand. My gaze slowly ran from his arm up to his slender neck that is shown because of his unzipped hoodies and his face with his messy hair that perfectly suits him which was like a damn hot fashion.

I pulled myself back and try to hide the fear I felt for him.

"Please don't leave yet," he said again with his deep and sexy voice.

I was taken aback as I looked at him curiously. "Pardon?"

"Don't leave. Maybe we can have a cup of coffee." I don't know why but, his voice sounds something.

Or maybe I'm just being crazy again?

"N-no thanks, I have to-" I was cut for what I was about to say when I saw someone that is now entering the glass door of the coffee shop where we are right now.

I took a deep breath seems like, I don't have any choice, eh? "A-alright." I said in defeat and walked back to my seat earlier.

That hoodie guy just following behind me and I felt his height covering me, now I regret wearing shoes and not high heels. I look like a dwarf to him. Yeah, height problems. He sat across me while waiting for the coffee he ordered a while ago.

Soon the coffee he ordered arrived and what was even more surprising was that, he ordered my favorite chocolate coffee. How does he know that I do love chocolate coffee?

Scratch that thought! Maybe it's just a coincidence.

I honestly can't focus on drinking my coffee for some reason. Two different people are now staring at me; first Mr. Hoodie guy staring at my face and Xander who is not far from us. Yeah, he was the person who came in earlier that I was saying when this man halted me from leaving.

I couldn't stand their gazes at me, most especially he who was just in front of me. I took a heave as I lowered my coffee first and finally stared at him wondering.

"Do you need anything why you are looking at me like that? "I asked him, who was not even startled when I catch him staring at me.

He just pouted and shook his head. Cute!

W-what?

No! He's not cute! He is weird and creepy!

"Tell me. Do I know you?" I asked.

"Maybe..." He shrugged.

"So, you know me?" I asked once again.

He nodded as he answered, "Yes." Which made my eyes widened.

The hell?
