Four...

Cally's POV

A loud chuckle escaped from his mouth when I explained to him what happened that night. About the man stalking me, and me who was running away and saw him on the roof.

"What is so funny?" I glared at him.

He clicked his tongue, "Nothing!" he responded.

I groaned as I rolled my eyes. It's time for me to return the question. "I am supposed to be the one who needs explanation here... Now, tell me, why did you kiss me back that night?" I gave him a dagger look and he looked straight into my eyes. I didn’t know but his stares were making me nervous.

He drew a heavy sigh and make a face, "We were at the same pace that night..." 

"What do you mean?" I got bewildered.

"My ex-girlfriend thought I was stalking her while she was with her boyfriend, and they were on the rooftop that day... I didn't need to explain further why I kissed you... I suppose you already know my reason!" his face was serious but his eyes were like smirking.

I recalled that night in my head and remembered that there were two more people on that roof at that moment. That must be his ex-girlfriend and the jerk son of the owner of the previous school I attended.

"Okay... we're quits then! No more questions. I need to go home now, where are my clothes!" I scowled.

"Uh-ah! We're not quits! You slapped me remember?" 

Gosh! I wanted to poke his stupid beautiful eyes. It was shining so bright and stunning making me less angry. 

I cleared my throat, stood up straight, and folded my arms against my chest. Raising an eyebrow, I responded as hard as I could, "Well! That's because I didn't know why you kissed me. So please, just tell me where my clothes are cause I need to go home, now!"

"I'll give it to you if you will make up with me. That slap is damn hurt. And also, aren't you owe me for not leaving you alone in that bar. You might be in danger! You know guys don't respect drunk women; they would take advantage of your weakness!" he grinned. 

He was right about last night but about that slap? That's years ago! Gosh, he's crazy!

"Thank you for helping me! About the slap, like I said it was not intentional!" I exclaimed. 

"Is that a real thank you? You seemed upset?" he teased. I bet he was having a lot of fun by making me mad or whatsoever he was pulling. 

I clenched my teeth and forge a smile. 

"So, what do you want?" I asked to finish this argument. 

"You!" he responded. 

"What?!" I raised a voice.

*Is this guy telling me to sleep with him?! He's a devil!* I thought as I stared at him.

"Hey, I said you!" he repeated, his voice was serious, and I gradually felt like he was seducing me, so I gulped.

*Am I even able to get out of here?!" I was panicking inside of me. 

I was shivering, anxious, “Are you telling me to give my body to you?!" I nervously asked, the tone of my voice was obviously trembling, and he grinned at me. 

He didn't answer my question which made me feel even more frightened. Looking at his state, I knew I couldn't fight him. Damn! I shouldn't be in that bar! I literally wanted to cry.

"Is that a yes?" I asked and looked outside the door. If I ran away, I'm sure he could block me immediately.

"What the hell? That's crazy. Of course not! Do you think I'm that kind of a man?!" I got startled by his sudden loud voice. I sensed no danger from him after what he said, and I could breathe in relief.

I sighed, "So what do you mean by 'ME'? I couldn't get you!" I asked.

He chuckled, what a beautiful laugh it was, I could feel my heart melting, what a jerk! My mind! What I was doing?

"Well, go out with me!" he winked.

I was speechless. This handsome guy wanted me to go out with him? Seriously?

"Do you mean date?!" I raised a question.

He shrugged his shoulders, and he painted a wonderful smile on his face, what a captivating smile!

"Absolutely!" he replied.

What he wanted was impossible, I didn't have time for that! I need to focus on my family and find a job. 

"So?" he asked and I stared at him for a long time. 

"I think that's impossible," I responded.

"And why? You have a boyfriend?" he asked, and why do I feel like he got disappointed.

"None! I never had a boyfriend?"

He grinned and folded his arms, "So, what's wrong with dating me?" 

I sighed, "I have no time, so, please! I need to go home now; my family is waiting for me!" I groaned. 

"But you didn't agree yet!" he was still into it.

‘This guy is confident! Didn’t want to leave me alone.’ I whispered I my head as I scanned his face.

"Please!" I begged and he sighed. 

"Fine! Just give me your number then!" he said.

"What?!"

"Your phone number! I guess that's not too difficult!" he winked. 

This guy! He was completely different from the Nate I knew before. He was naughty and very... I just couldn't explain! 

Without a choice, I replied, "Fine! Just give me my clothes!"

"And one more thing..." before he continued, I immediately reacted. 

"What?! There's more?" I raised an eyebrow. He giggled and it was heartwarming giggles. 

"Just one final favor. Let's have breakfast first, then you can change and go freely," he said and just walked away to the door. He didn't even let me say a word first. 

He was right in front of the door and he stopped and turned around to look at me. 

"Aren't you coming?" he asked and I just stood and looked at him.

He cued me to follow him.

"Come on! Unless you want to go home late!" he said and I got no choice but to follow him.

We were heading to the kitchen. The place was huge and incredible. Lots of paintings were hung on the walls. 

When we went downstairs, four maids were standing there and they greeted him good morning. 

He smiled at them. 

"The one in a ponytail was the one who changed your clothes and washed them!" he said and my eyes widened. 

"What?! That's embarrassing," I sheepishly whispered. 

I walked closer to the woman he mentioned and thanked her. She just smiled and said, "No problem, ma'am." 

"Ma'am, oh no, please just call me Cally!" I said and she smiled.

"Hey, let's go," Nate called me. 

I was following him and it took us a few minutes before we reached his kitchen. I've never been in such a place like this. Whoever lives in a place like this might be very fortunate and feel like they were king and queen.

"Are we going to eat with your family?" I asked and he stopped. 

"No, they're gone!" he responded.

"I'm sorry, I didn't..." 

"It's alright," he smiled at me. I felt sorry for his loss. 

****

The foods were all set on the table. They were all looked savoury and pressed my lips. Just looking at it made me hungry.  

He pulled one chair and asked me to seat on it, what a gentleman. 

I stared at him first before sitting down. No one ever treated me like this before. 

We were speechless, just the two of us at this huge table. He wasn't talking while he was eating which was kinda awkward for me. 

I just watched him eat and then his eyes lifted to mine and our eyes met! I didn't know but my heart skipped a bit! For goodness’ sake!

"Is staring at me can make you full? You better eat your food," he said and I pressed my lips. 

‘This is so… so awkward!’ I thought.

"Hmmm..." I couldn't find the right words to say.

"Want me to feed you?" he asked and my eyes widened and I felt my chicks were burning, how could he say those words so easily!

"No! I can do it by myself," I said and dug in the food that was placed in front of me as fast as I could.

‘What am I even doing? Gosh, Cally, don’t you have any manner in front of a food?’

I heard him chuckle.

"Can I ask you a question?" he asked.

I just nodded my head and didn't look at him.

"How did you know my name?!"

*So he really didn't know we went to the same school before?*
