Chapter 4

Angel's Perspective

"Haha," I just laughed when he knew what I was planning to do. Well, I was really surprised, I was a fool at that time, why did I say I would buy clothes for me? I should have told him at first that it was for my father. Urgh! Angel, it was embarrassing, I thought.

"You okay? Let's go?" Jack said and I frowned.

"Go?" I had no idea, "Go where?" I asked.

"Come on, where else? Let's go home, I walked you home," he responded, and honestly, me? I shuddered there.

"But I haven't bought you clothes yet," I insisted.

He smiled, "What are you saying? I told you already, I'm fine, he said.

But of course, I won't let him win, haha.

I immediately pulled his hand, it was cold yet smooth, what a man's hand. When I grabbed him, I noticed that he got stunned and then unexpectedly blushed. Oh my! It was the very first time I saw a man blush, and they certainly look cute when they blush. Haha. I thought it was only a woman but he also did, haha. And I won't deny, he was cute and handsome as well.

 *********************

While I was shopping for clothes, he did not stop saying that he was okay, and I kept on ignoring him and just picking clothes that could fit him. I will do what I want.

Later that moment, I saw a light blue long sleeve, and it was cute and too masculine for a man. It got my attention, it was too simple yet attractive, so I took it immediately.

  I handed it over to him. "Try this," I said and he glanced at my eyes, gosh! How cute he was when he does that to me. Well, he was taller than me, kind of my type.

"Haisst, I said I'm okay and..." I cut him off, "I won't stop unless you let me pay what I did to you," I exclaimed and then he sighed.

"Okay," he whispered and groaned," I guess, I have no choice after all. I prevented it a while ago but you also kept insisting," he added as he pouted his mouth, he was damn cute.

"And where is the fitting room?" I immediately asked the sales personnel and she assisted Jack.

She smiled, "This way, ma'am." What good customer service.

"...Come out soon," I said to Jack As I pushed him inside the fitting room. He entered and quickly closed the curtain.

A few minutes later, he came out of the fitting room.

"Is it okay?" he asked and he was sheepish, but when he smiled I just noticed his dimple that I didn't notice a while ago.

My heart was beating too fast as I stared at him, I was frozen.

"Are you okay, Angel? You looked surprised, did you just see a handsome man?" he winked at me and I came back to my senses.

"Hahaha, I admit, you look great on that long sleeve," I honestly answered.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to agree with me," he chuckled.

"Well, I am an honest person," I responded and we laughed... "Really?" he teased.

I giggled, "Yes, do you want me to lie? Because if I say that you look ugly, then I am lying," I immediately told him, like I was defending myself too much, and his eyes flashed to mine, gosh!

"Okay, ma'am, I trust you, don't be angry, I believe you," he said and my heart fluttered.

                                             ******

After we bought the dress we went out of the mall, well, we had a few minor arguments inside, earlier, he kept telling me that he would pay for the clothes I bought for him. And almost all of the crowd's eyes were on us a while ago, like we were a couple arguing in some stuff. And in the end, I won, I paid the bills and I will never have payments in return, as he promised, hahaha, no one can get rid of my desires. 

"Let me carry your bag," I was surprised and speechless when Jack suddenly pulled my bag from me and carried it.

I exclaimed, "Hey you're naughty," and he sighed, "And so you are, you kept insisting a while ago in front of the counter," he answered, he got me there. He won, so I let him carried my bag.

We continued walking, "Anyway, I've been wanting to ask you this," he stopped. 

"Hmmm?" I looked at him, a look of asking what it was.

"What is it?" I couldn't stop asking him when he suddenly acted strangely, and suddenly became sheepish.

He was serious, "Okay..." he then cleared his throat and continued, "Angel do you have a boyfriend?" he said it too quickly that I nearly didn't understand it. But I was stunned and my heart was thumping too hard. But then, seriously? That is what he wanted to ask me? 

"Haha," I laughed.

"I'm single," I responded and rolled my eyes.

"You sure?" he said and I was like... What? what did he mean by his question?

"Do I look like I fling around too easy?" I glared, and he defended himself quickly, "No that is not what I meant. You are too beautiful to have nothing, I mean scores of boys were surely courting you,'' he explained.

"Do I need a boyfriend," half of my lips were smiling crazy to discern his expression? But he just laughed which annoyed me.

"How about you?" I gave him back his question.

He pointed at himself, "Me?"... I shook my head and when he said he doesn't have a girlfriend I laughed at him, my way of revenge.

"See, even you...You are handsome but doesn't have any girlfriend at all, just as I am, we're even," I teased.

"Hey, don't put back everything I said, but at least me, I am waiting for someone," he said, and he meant it when he let out those words.

"Really, who is that unlucky girl?" I smirked. Hahaha, I laughed inside but the heck he became more serious than before, did I annoy him?

He looked straight at my eyes, "If I told you it was you, would you believe me?" he said and I froze.

"Hah?" I was not expecting it. But then he continued talking, "Angel, I like you for a very long time," he added. Why too straight forward?

"Will you give me a chance?" he said.

Crap! What am I supposed to answer?

"Okay, you don't have to give me an answer to..."

'Yes,' I cut him off and he didn't look away from me.

"What do you mean by, yes?" he nervously asked.

I rolled my eyes, "I said yes, simple, you mean you have a chance," I answered.

"Really? You are not joking right?" he was excited.

"I just said yes, it's up to you if you didn't believe me."

I got surprised when he held both my hands, but I was more surprised when we looked at each other's eyes. His eyes were happy and serious.

"Thank you," he seriously whispered. "Angel, thank you,' he repeated. My heart was beating so fast that I couldn't chase it, his mood and how he called my name was sweet and serious, I loved it.

"Thank you for what?"

'Thank you for giving me a chance," he replied.

After that confession, he walked me home.

"Thank you, Jack."

"I am supposed the one who should thank you-thank you for this day, take care," he said and went away.

My eyes followed him until it couldn't see him. Then I run as fast as I could to my room, shouting, screaming brain. I didn't expect that I said yes to him. 

 I kept shouting and stamped my feet on my bed, what happened sank in my head.
