Chapter 12 - Stay With Me

As expected, my conscience and feelings for him wins. I'm here at his shop, waiting for him to come back. I was imagining the whole time, him being with Dana alone, I'm wondering if they're having a great time or they're back together. I wanna go there and drag him to come home. Noah is always hurt, he might want to get back to her when he can't take it anymore. I know how fragile he is.. He easily breaks..

Then I heard the bell rang, maybe some customers..

"Hey," A familiar voice speaks..

I turn to face him and surprised when saw the guy from the party. What's his name again?

Oh, It's Shawn..

"Do you remember me?" He ask while scanning my face.

"Oh, hi." I feel like he's here for Noah. I don't wanna speak to him, I can feel the bad aura around us.

"So.. This is Noah's shop," He says while looking around the shop.

"Obviously," I don't wanna sound sarcastic but he seems to know already that this is his. He don't need to pretend like he doesn't know it, really..

"Excuse me?" His brows collided.

"What can I do for you, Sir?" I ignored him.

"I'm here for Noah,"

"He's not here, Sir." I don't wanna include 'Sir' on my sentence because he don't deserved being respect.

I pretend being busy, he's just a jerk who always root for Noah's failure. He's like a snake, you don't know when he will strike.

"Where is he?" He seems not to care for privacy.

"I don't know," I shrug.

"You're the only one who knows it,"

"I said, I.don't.know."

"You just don't want to tell me. I know it. Where is he?" He asks again.

"Are you stupid?" I can feel my blood boiling now.

He looks at me in disbelief and placed his arm on his waist. He is wearing a suit right now and I could tell that he's working on a company. He seems like a CEO? Attorney? or.. a Loan shark?

I laugh to what I think on the last part. Loan shark? It fits him very well..

"Smirking, huh?" His voice becomes dangerous.

"I..I already told you! I don't know where he is! I'm not the one to asked about if someone is missing!" He's crazy, over my dead body if I'll tell him where he is.

"I'm giving you a three minutes to tell me, you'll regret it after if you don't." He warned me, as if I care?

"Don't threaten me, I'm not scared of you. Fucking bastard!" I shouts at his face.

Serves you right, jerk.

He close his eyes, looking annoyed while clenching his fist. He seems like a low tempered handsome. Oh, erase.. He's not handsome at all. No.

"Last question, where is Noa--"

"I'm here." Noah appears at his back, looking cool while his both hands are on his pockets.

What am I thinking again?

His face are very calm, as if he just met a normal guy and asked if he's missing in an island. I'm totally surprised by his reaction right now, I just can't stop looking at him.

"Can we talk?" He flashes him an insincere smile.

"Talk here," Noah speaks calmly again. My heart melts by his voice.

"Not here, this is private."

"Then leave," He quickly turn his back at him.

I heard Shawn cursed at the wind.

"WAIT!" He seems embarrassed. He frowns when Noah turned to face him again.

"What?" Noah raised his brow like a bitch and I almost burst into laugh, he looks cute.

I placed my phone near them and pressed the voice record button, so when Shawn threaten me again, it will served as my weapon to strike him first.

"I...I.."

"You, what?"

Noah seems impatient right now, I never seen him being like this.

"Seriously?" Shawn looks at me like, I should be leaving by now to give them privacy.

"Go ahead, I won't mind. I'll just do my business here." I shrug then pretend to look at the monitor.

"Do you think, I'll be able to speak if you're here eavesdropping on us?" He's now annoyed. I can see in his expression.

It's hard to pretend like I don't care at all. My boss is being humiliated again by this asshole and I want to erased him out of his sight. I can see his eyes on me right now so I have no choice but to look at him and give him a blank stare.

"You're not that stupid righ--"

"Will you please shut up? I'm working here, can't you see?" I sarcastically asked and his mouth suddenly shuts.

"Now speak, Shawn. I don't wanna wait any longer," Noah looks at me and nod.

"But she's here, you need to get her out here firs--"

"Speak or I'll kick your ass out off here.." He also cuts him and I almost laugh at that again. I'm just holding my laugh.

One thing is odd right now is that Noah seems calm which is not I always seen in him. He always show everyone that he's broken but he don't want them to interfere with his problems. He's showy but independent.

But the Noah I'm seeing right now is different.. He looks so calm and expressionless. I don't know what he's thinking, in some aspects I never failed to guess what's in him, but right now.. I can't even guess his gestures.

Shawn looks at me and gives me a deadly stare. I just nod then turn to look at Noah. He is now looking at him intensely and I could say that he looks cool.

"Don't look at her, Shawn." Noah doesn't sound angry nor jealous, but dangerous.

"Why? Do you like her, Noah?" That jerk smirks then look at me.

I suddenly felt nervous. I'm not yet ready to hear his answer, I know he don't have any feelings for me, but I'm working on it. This crazy jerk just got me. I'm going to kick his ass.

"You want me to repeat my self?" Noah moves closer to him and give him a dangerous stare like he will kill him if he don't stay away from me.

"Then get her out of here!" Shawn looks scared now.

"Okay! I'll go, Boss.. I'll just stay at Dark's restaurant." Noah's blank stare changed into an annoying expression. It's like its against his order.

I smiled and pat his arm. "It's okay, I'll be back when you're done. Just text me," I heard Shawn snort so I gave him a warned look.

I swear, I'll watch him outside when something bad happens to Noah. I'll break him, I swear.

"Talk to him," I grab my bag then slowly walks towards the door.

When I reached for the door to open, I felt someone suddenly pulls me and surprised when I see Noah holding my hand while looking at me wearing his eyes pleading.

"Stay with me," His voice weaken. "Stay with me.. Raine.."

I stilled while my hands are cold by his words. I can't speak and it's hard to explain this feeling. I can't mutter a word, I just simply look in his eyes and understand what he truly feels.

He wants me stay with him..

To be continued..
