Chapter 78
I preferred to be simple yet elegant, more importantly be myself than pretend to be someone else who was out of my range.
I glanced myself in the mirror for the last time correcting my frock and walked towards the stairs.
I walked towards Emma and she looked at me adoringly complementing me. Elora walked in and I must admit it she was looking hot.
She wore jet black shorts and a revealing top but it suited her perfectly. Wouldn’t she feel cold?
Well I would like to choose to survive from Vincent rather than wearing shorts and expensive dresses and makeup.
Vincent, Blake and Xavier were outside waiting for our arrival and we walked towards them.
” Okay we are ready to go……” Emma chriped out walking towards the car and I wanted to hide somewhere as the boys turned towards us.
Why does it feel like Deja vu……
Vincent eyes were on mine, he gave a slow once over, and suddenly I went hot, burning like fire.
I got the urge to hide, undeniably embarrassed after what happened between us last night, but there was no way I could do that.
He was wearing black t-shirt and a jacket, and I had to admit it he was looking handsome.
I glared at him checking if he was getting pissed or not, but his face didn’t show any, wearing a blank expression, no anger not even amused look too…
Hmmph……. Am I not looking good……?
Why do you care Jennie……
It’s not like I got ready to impress him or something…… just want to avoid trouble as much as possible.
” Bro you drive the car, my arm hurts like hell……” Blake passed the key to Vincent and he nodded.
I sat between Elora and Emma, this time Vincent was driving the car, Blake by his side. I leaned over the seat and then accidentally I saw Vincent adjusting the rear view mirror exactly to……. my side!!!!?????
Did he just……
My breath went wild, matching my messy heartbeat. It was like someone had stuffed cotton in my mouth.
I saw him eyeing me through the mirror and I grew queasy, my heart hammering madly against my chest.
I felf his gaze on the mirror, glancing time to time as he drove, and I bit my lip way too nervous.
Is he looking at me!?????
No no you are imagining things Jennie……
I placed my fingers on my forehead, shielding my face utmost, shifting to the side but it wasn’t enough…… Elora looked at me as if I was a total weirdo.
I coughed acting normal looked to the side. After some minutes we reached the fair and I looked past through the window amused.
I got down and glanced around. It was so vast and there were people of different age children, teen, new adult, old chirping and enjoying the fair.
This was much larger and colourful than the fair which happened in my village.
I looked around with amused and excited, my eyes sparkling and caught his vision with mine. He stared at me with an unreadable expression stealing my breath away.
I looked away immediately, my cheeks burning, but I felt his stare still on me and he was striding towards me rattling me up.
Breathe Jennie…… breathe……
I gripped the side of my frock, his footsteps ringing my ear, I looked at him involuntarily and he just …… passed through me rendering speechless.
Heh?
I turned and looked at him, he strode towards Blake who was at some distance from me.
I rolled my eyes scoffing, again this duo was ignoring me. I couldn’t decipher was it Blake who was the bone in our romance or was it me in their bromance……
Our Romance…? Are you kidding me……!
There is no such—Wahhhh. I yelped out when I felt a strong arm pulling me and I dashed into a hard wall.
I looked up in horror and eye contacted Vincent and to the the left Blake. I was made to stand in between the dangerous duo.
” Don’t try to get lost little girl……” Blake said mockingly and I narrowed my eyes glaring daggers at him.
” I’m not a little girl for your kind information and I can take care of myself okay! ” I barked at him fuming up trying to walk away, but they suppressed me by their hold.
Are you kidding me!!!!
” We could see how you took care last time you wandered off. Crying and fainting out like a little girl. You are either a trouble maker or walking trouble attractor and we both don’t do telepathy here. So we have to watch over you.”
” Who knows when you will be swept away by someone or found dead in some corner of the fair, or hanged somewhere, so we have no choice but to keep you in our surveillance.” Blake scrunched his nose looking at me as if he was talking to a kid and I glared up.
“Oh yeah?? You think I mmphphnnn” Vincent stuffed a candy on my mouth and I glared at him in disbelief.
” Eat…… and keep quiet please. Don’t make us both bury you right here pissing us off. Nothing is going to change anyway how much ever you bark. ” Vincent said blankly and pulled me with him.
We entered the fair and I was struggling to finish the chocolate in my mouth. From where did he get that chocolate or he intentionally brought it for me!?
” Xavier!!!!!” Rose chirped waving towards us along with Harper, Taeyong, Jisoo and Aaron.
I gulped the whole chocolate and wriggled violently from their hold but they suppressed me.
” Excuse me Harper and Rose are here…… can I leave now? I swear I won’t get lost, I will stay with them!”
Vincent looked at me hesitantly as if he didn’t wanted to let me go, his grip on my hand getting tighter and my heart beat sped up.
Why isn’t he leaving me……!
Blake noticed us and smirked ” Nope you are not leaving…… don’t forget you are girlfriend of him not Rose’s or Harper’s. Remember Elora is there……”
I scoffed out glaring at Elora from a distance. She’s always the reason, meddling and destroying my peaceful life.
” Don’t worry I will leave you two love birds alone, just help me escape from them for a while otherwise they will make me babysit Elora. It’s better to babysit you than her though. ”
” I’m not a kid to babysit okay!” I fumed up and he ignored me.
” We are going that side……” Blake said to Emma and she approved us showing a thumbs up.
We strode opposite of them, before Elora could catch us and mixed into the crowd. We strolled through many stalls. Vincent bought me milkshake and many street foods keepiny mouth busy and I was truly enjoying it. Who would deny food……
Some girls passing by openly stared at these two boys with their wistful looks and dreamy eyes.
” Okay have fun bye!” Blake winked at us and walked away leaving us alone here eyeing those girls.
Some girls surrounded Blake and he smirked, asking everyone’s name first.
Well hate to admit it but he was looking quite handsome in dark blue t-shirt, his tattoo on his full arm giving him a bad boy look.
He was the most carefree and dangerous one from the group. I couldn’t decipher what he actually was…… he was way to difficult to understand.
Whereas Vincent was dead opposite of him, giving a giving a murderous glare to the girls whoever tried to reach him.
Blake and Vincent were different in many ways but exactly the same in anger issues and destruction time.
Blake wound his arm on a girl’s waist as she caressed his hair and started walking away winking at us and Vincent shook his head, his lips quirking up little on his face.
Heh! Where is Blake going with that random girl!?
Vincent caught my eye and I looked away immediately feeling embarrassed for getting caught while staring at him. We were left alone and I stared straight ahead, drinking my milkshake.
I could feel his gaze wavering on me, creating goosebumps all over me, but I stared ahead silently, my heart going haywire.
He suddenly hovered over me, his arm circling around my waist, ducking his head on my shoulder making my heart hammer madly against my chest .
” Vincent…!” I breathed out blushing heavily.
” Shhh! What kind of girlfriend are you, letting your man swept away by another girl!? What if Elora sees that??” Vincent whispered in my ear and I felt my heart flapping out just like fish has come out of the bowl.
Your man……!!!
I looked around and saw Elora and others strolling around nearby. I whipped my head back, sending my heart into a frenzy just by his nearness.
I wanted to run away miles, hypersensitive of his scent, nearness, and the strength to that delectable body, but then he would see just how easily he could affect me.
He clamped my fingers with his and pulled me with him to stroll together. My breath hitched. I was stumped by this sudden change between us.
He took out his muffler and wound it on me, making my pulse go high. ” It’s cold, you barely recovered and you wore this?”
” Why? Do you have problem with this too!? Again looking like a wh*re now?” I blurted out glaring at him annoyed by his behaviour.
” No where did I say like that?…… You…… you look beautiful!! ” He said looking somewhere else his ears going red.
Heh? Did he just compliment me?????
I looked away immediately, my heart drumming super wildly, everything rattling in me like crazy.
” I …… I like it when you are in your original self…… than fitting into which you are not you……” He cooed softly looking at the stalls.
” Don’t try to change because of me or for what others tell you to …… just be yourself that’s enough.”
Something flickered deep in me and I bit into my lip, my heart going overdrive, gaping at him shock. His eyes glazed suddenly, his face flushing out as if he realised what he just said.
” I…… I’ll go buy hot dog!!!!” He released my hand quickly and walking away abruptly.
He blushed……!!!!!!
I froze in my place watching him flee away. A gigantic smile broke out on my lip, butterflies wreaking havoc in my stomach.
Is this why he would get angry when I wore those……. it wasn’t because of looking like Eva…… but I wasn’t truly myself?????
I was out of control with these feelings that crushed my chest more and more. I walked through the stalls feeling so happy and my eyes glazed up seeing a colourful bracelet hung up at a stall.
I was trying it and other things just for fun but then I felt someone’s presence behind me. It must be Vincent……
I turned around my heart hammering against my chest but I froze in my place feeling going queasy.
The boy once I helped him from Ivy standing in front of me. He was wearing a faded grey hoodie and his gaze was directing at me and I tensed up by the sudden encounter.
” Hi, my…… my name is Alex Rivet. I…… I want to…… deeply apologize for what happened last time…… please forgive me……” He said in a whiny shrill voice and I clenching my fist fuming up.
I turned opposite ignoring him and walked away My heart pounding furiously, my shallow breaths failing to give me enough oxygen.
But he was following me, trying to reach me out and I increased my speed.
Shit! Where are you going Jennie? Vincent is in other side……!
I turned back towards Vincent’s direction but I dashed onto the boy as he was just behind me rattling me up.
” Why…… why are you following me??” I blurted out quickly trying to keep it calm as much as possible.
” I’m really sorry, I feel guilty for leaving in between. I really want to apologize to you.”
” You’re sorry??? Do you even know what you made me go through?? I don’t need your sorry, you can go to hell!!”
I walked passed through him but he held my hands. I flinched because his hand was so cold, I slacked my hand off him, glaring at him.
” What the f*** do you think you are doing??”
” I’m really sorry, please don’t hate me. I really ashamed for what I did, please forgive me.” He said in a shaky tone like he would burst out crying in any moment.
Are you kidding me ?
” Leave, you won’t get any!”
” Please, don’t say like that… I will drown in guilt forever and I can’t be calm after what I did……”
I heaved a sigh raking my hair. ” Okay, I accept your apology, you can stop following me now and go back to your friends, they must be waiting for you!”
” I don’t have any friends here……” He said sadly which unknowingly touched deep parts of me that yearned something in me which I couldn’t decipher.
But I had enough of his drama and sympathy act, it’s all because of him! I walked ahead but I felt him follow me, I looked at my shoulder irritated by his behaviour.
” What do you want now?” I stopped and turned back glaring daggers at him.
” I know you didn’t forgive me from your heart. Please let me deeply apologize by treating you……”
” You think everything will be back to normal after accepting your treat and apology? I don’t speak to cowards like you, so please leave and give me space!”
” Please …… please don’t say like that. I’m begging you, I’m really sorry. I know I acted selfishly but I had my own reasons…… please try to understand me ”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
” Really? What was the reason? ” I said bluntly glaring at him.
He paused for a second like he was hesitant of something, staying silently instead of uttering a single word and it annoyed me even more.
” Just as I thought ” I hissed out ” You can’t even answer that and you want me to forgive you? Move……”
I walked pass through him but he held my hand by his cold palm of his. ” I’m a girl…!”
What????
” I’m… I’m… a girl. I hid my identity here but I think you deserve to know the truth…… you are the first person I’m saying it to.”
A girl????
Alex Rivet is actually a girl??????
