Chapter 10 - Embarrassing Overload

"Hey, Raine! Open the door! I'm just teasing you.." He shouts outside the door while knocking. I don't wanna face him, I am too embarrassed for showing him my part. I might develop a heart attack with that guy.

"Come on, Raine. This is just my way of knowing you.." His voice soften.

"But I don't like this way!" I shouted.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry... I won't do it again..just come out.."

He don't know how embarrassed I feel right now. I don't want to get out of this bathroom until he gets out but my instincts telling me to just face him. I want to be calm before I exit this bathroom, I can't talk to him like nothing happened.. Like after he touched my face I run away from him looking like a shy girl in front of her crush!

"Raine?" His voice is pounding my head again. I wanna stop it.

"I'll come out but turn away," I command.

"Okay, just come out. I'm on my back now."

I opened the door and as he says he's not looking at me. I don't know why this is so uncomfortable. I do not want things to be awkward between us and I would like to speak to him casually like nothing happened, but damn I can't do it. Just by looking at him makes me want to cover my face with a freakin' pillow.

"Please don't be shy, I'm just teasing you.." He speaks on his back.

"You should've not!" I mocked him.

"I'm sorry, but this literally feels good.. I feel like I've got to know you even though it's not that much.."

"I can't show you everything about me," I walk first while covering my face with a towel.

"It's okay, I've already seen the different sides of you.."

"And?" I arch my brow.

"You're cute," He smiles and again, I think he's really teasing me!

"You know what? I think you need to go back to your shop.." I rolled my eyes and opened the door.

He laughs and shakes his head then turn to the living room and sits on the sofa. I don't know why he's still here, he says he wants to know me more but he's not asking me anything like he's just here to tease me and I don't think I'll be able to control my self anymore..

He opened the television but his attention was on the magazine. What the hell is wrong with him? He's really weird!

"Don't look at me like that," He says while his eyes are still on the magazine.

"Why turn on the television if you're just going to read a magazine?" I can't hide my sarcastic tone.

"Why? You want me to just look at you? You can't even look at me that's why I'm just spending my remaining hours reading on this couch." He smirks then turn his gaze on the magazine.

"You're not crazy, right?" I ask 'coz he seems not sane anymore.

"Practically, yes." He smiles.

I want to ask him now, why he wanna know me.. But I can't even say it in words. My fears stops me from telling it to him,

"Are you okay?" He sounds worried.

"Uhmm. Yes!" I answer then tries to smile.

Noah became so attached to me that I even imagined that in that 'cause he might literally fall for me. I couldn't even tell my self that I should be better and for the good exchanged, he will be mine. I can't even marked him as my property since I'm just known as his part-timer specially to his family.

"I told you a while ago that.. I want to know you more.." He began to speak now I need to stop what I'm doing just to listen to him.

"And?"

"I take it back now.."

"What? Why?" I felt nervous for what he's going to say.

"Because I think what I know about you for now is enough for me to describe you as an amazing and a good person.."

"Noah.."

"Believe me, Raine.." He looks into my eyes. "I've seen a lot in you.. and I'm not going to ask for more.."

"But you said you want to know me more, that means you meant it in the first place.." I don't know but I feel a little bit odd.

"Yeah, I really meant it,"

"Then why take back?"

"Because I think it should be naturally seen by me.." He walks closer to me and I slowly stepped back. "I want it to came out naturally from you and the reason is me.."

I chew on the side of my cheek and slowly glanced at the television, avoiding his deadly stare.

"Why? Are you tired of being broken, huh?"

"That's not related to our topic," He answers.

"You're just bored, boss. Go home and play video games," I turned around and tries to walk inside my room when he suddenly pulls my wrist.

"Sorry, want to grab some drink?" He suddenly ask and I almost laugh.

He's unbelievable..

I want to shout at him for being stupid but I just held my self and tried to be calm.

"Okay!" I answered to minimize the tension.

"Stay here, I'll go buy some beers," He wear his jacket then grabbed his boots from the rack.

"You don't need to go, I have some canned beers in the refrigerator.."

"Oh, that's good." He smiles then gently put his things back to its place again.

Having this drinking session with Noah is kinda odd. I wanna make sure none of us will get wasted, this is my first time drinking with him and I don't wanna make things got messed just because we're both suffering.. He obviously wants to forget everything for a while and my place is the best option he had. My poor self and apartment.

I should be the one who's having some dramatic acts right now, but this awfully boss of mine dragged me into his reverie..
