"Let her go." Khai say in a serious tone of his voice.The guy let go of my hand he faces Khai. They all face Khai. "Who the hell are you? Ah, you're her boyfriend?" The guy asks while laughing in sarcasm."Leave," Khai commanded. His tone is cold. But they just laugh at what he said. "Leave? Huh. Who are you to command us to leave? Are you the owner of this store?""No." Khai answers. "Right. You are not. So, don't you dare command us to leave, you little punk. Back off!" He said and faces me again. "Hey! Pack them now!" He yells at me. Argh. Why does this thug is so hard-headed? "Okay. As you say." I say and started packing their orders so there will be no trouble will be taken place. They cannot fight in here. After I pack the beers and cigarettes, I was about to give it to them but Khai took it. I was surprised."Khai," I call him in a lower tone of my voice, but he ignored me."Hey. Ah~*~"Are you okay?"Suddenly, I look at someone who just spoke behind me."Cali," I uttered. "What are you doing here?""I'm glad it works." She says."What do you mean?" I ask, bewilders."I played that sound." She giggles while showing her phone. "I was so nervous. Are you okay?"I did not answer her, instead, I laugh a little. She is... So damn cute."What is so funny?" She asks me, confused."Nothing. Thanks for saving me. I thought it was a real police siren."She just giggles."Let's get back to the store." She says, turns her back, and walks away. I follow her.---CASSANDRA's POVHours had passed. It's already 8:45 PM. For sure Steph is looking for me. Right. I should send her a message on her Instagram.I sat on the chair and took my phone in my pocket. Then, I open my Instagram. I haven't open it for more than two years, I guess. Just now. It's
"I will make you fall in love with me again."His tone is so proud as if he is certain to get me so easily. I laugh in sarcasm when I go back to my senses. Make me fall in love with him again? He is a jerk. After all, he did to me, is that all he will say? Goodness! Perhaps he thinks he can get me as easily as before, but no. I'm sorry for him, I am no longer that fragile. I take a drink before I speak. "If you think you can make me easily fall in love with you again, I think you are mistaken. A few years have passed in our lives, Khai. There are a lot of things that have changed." I look at him."Especially my feelings.""I don't believe you. I know you love me.""Loved. I loved you. In the past tense." Looking away, I heaved a sigh. "Well, I am forcing you to believe me. Believe whatever you want to believe.""Sometimes you are pretending, so I will believe what your eyes say." He replies, I look at him again, raising my eyebrows.
CASSANDRA's POV"Will you be my girlfriend again?" He asked while he is kneeling his knee on the ground, looking at me with his teary eyes. My tears also started to well in my eyes.After all this time, after pushing him away so many times, after telling myself that I have moved on, I don't want him anymore, I won't go back to him, I will end up swallowing all my words because I still do love him. It never changed."Yes, I accept."It was unbelievable.It is really unbelievable. Am I dreaming?Wake up, Cass! You are dreaming...Maybe I am not. I closed my eyes tightly and tried to open my eyes and I was succeeded.What the hell! How could I dream of him?Argh! I closed my eyes tightly aga
CASSANDRA's POVSo, where the hell is she? I am already here right now in the Mall. I also already went to the six spa stores but I could not find her. I also went to the boutiques where she used to go to, but could not find her there either. Jeez. I can not even call her because she won't have a phone. Ugh! Where did that bitch girl go? Is she really here?Looking at my wrists watch, it's already 9:30 AM. It's still early, but I am starving already. This is because I have been walking around for almost one and a half hours just for searching for her. Seriously.Wandering my gaze around, I saw a snoopy store. I feel a little bit thirsty, so I will buy an ice cream first. I will just eat later at 11. I will try harder to find that bitch.I walk towards the snoopy store. While I was walking, I accidentally bumped into a kid, I think she is a
STEPH's POVFinally, after two hours, we have arrived at their house. He parked his car in front of their gate, then he jumps off of the car first before me. I was astonished to see the image of their house. Wow, huh. This jerk is rich, huh. It's not obvious, because he looks so very simple."Let's go?" He asks me."Okay," I reply. It"Okay. Give me your hand.""What?" I raised an eyebrow."Give me your hand." He repeated."And why?" I ask in confusion. Why would I give him my hand? What for?"Tch. We should hold each other's hand."I raised my eyebrows at him. "And why do we have to hold hands?""Are you crazy? How can mum believe that you are my girlfriend if we don't hold hands?"I scoff. "Ah??? So, are we going to pretend to be dating?"His eyebrows raised in surprise at what I said. "Seriously? Did you just now realized that?"It m
CASSANDRA's POV"Ready?" Khai asks me after he inserted five tokens in the machine."Ready!" I reply in enthusiasm, waiting for the balls to release.When the ball got released, we started to play the game. This is fun! I get more points than Khai. Well, that is because he just lets me grab more balls than him. Thanks to him then, because I am enjoying playing this game. After a few minutes, we finished playing."That was a bit tiring, huh," Khai says while chuckling.I look at the scoring board and I was happy to see we got a high score."Hey, look at that!" I pointed to the scoring board."We got a high score!" I beam.Just then, a lot of tickets were released from the machine."Wow! I did not expect these!" I happily say when I get the tickets."You should. You have played
"Cali?""H...huh?""Are you listening?" He asks, bewilders."Of course!" I clear my throat, looking away. "I am listening."Wait... What was an illusion?Gosh, why did I thought of that?"Okay. I'll be back." He says as he stood up."Where are you going?" I ask him."I thought you were listening." He chuckles. "I will find their parents. Stay here. Look after them. I'll be back." After he said that he exit the karaoke room.I let out a deep breathe when he left. I was listening. I was... Ugh!Looking back at the two kids who are sleeping peacefully on the sofa, I can't help but smile. They look so cute. I have to capture this one too. I took my phone and took a photo of them."So cute," I say, smiling while looking at their photo.Putt
STEPH's POV"Hey," I call Alex when I entered his room. I just finished having a short conversation with his mother. Not bad. I enjoyed talking to her. She has told me everything about Alex."What?" He asks without looking at me. He is taking clothes in his closet."Why are you taking them?" I ask him as I walk towards him. I sat down on his swiveling chair."I will bring some clothes to my condo." He answered. "You are done talking with mum?""Yeah," I answered with a little laugh.He looks at me while his eyebrow is lifted. "What's funny?""Well," I shrugged my shoulders."Tss. Did mum told you something about me?""Sort of." I laugh a little while rolling my eyeballs at him."Mum!" He whispered."It's okay. Don't be embarrassed. It's normal to poop in y
STEPH’s POVI woke up early to go to the salon. I suddenly thought of changing my hairstyle. And I'm going to have a pedicure too.I was leaning my back on the chair to relax when my phone suddenly beeps. I got a text message. For sure it’s Cassandra. I did not tell her I was leaving the house today. Well, I don't want to disturb her moment with Khai.Anyway, I took my phone inside my bag and I looked at the screen. I was certain to see her name on the screen, but it was not her name who popped up on my phone screen. Rather, it was from Sab./Where are you? We have something important to do today./My forehead creased after reading her message.Something important to do today? I did not know. Or maybe she was wrong sent?/What are you talking about?/ I replied to her. /Wrong sent?/ I added.Wit

No wonder they are all taste delicious."It's delicious, isn't it?" He asks me."Yeah. So good." I reply while giggling."Eat a lot," he says, gently pinching my cheek."Wait..." I stop eating and look at him."Hmm?""I can't eat them anymore. Your mother cooked this for you. She might..." I was not able to continue my sentence when she put his index finger on my lips. Then, he wiped the corner of my lips."There was a sauce." He smiles. "Don't worry, you can eat them. What's mine is yours too. Plus, mum doesn't hate you. I guess you already know that."I take a breath. "Um. I know that."He holds my ha

Who are you for him to text?I sighed out.After a few minutes, I arrived at my house. And I saw that there was a car parked outside the gate of my house.Who’s car is that?It’s not Khai, because I know his car. Not mum’s car neither.Unfastening my seatbelt, I got out of my car, then walke

I just now left the airport.“Hey, mum.” I beam as I picked up her call.“Where are you now?” She asks from the other line.Actually, mum should pick me up now but I don't want to bother her anymore. Besides I can still manage.“I’m on my way there mum,” I say.“What?” I knew it would shock her.“Yeah, I already left the airport. Don’t bother anymore, mum. I’m on my way there. See you!” I say and before she could respond, I hang up the call.I want to surprise them, especially Khai. He also doesn't know that I am already back. Well, I did not call him either.

And it was none of my business.That's right.Whatever."Hey, bro!"I was a little bit startled when someone puts an arm on my shoulder. It was Von."It is okay.
