Chapter 22 - Can't Walk Away

"WHAT THE HELL?" both Jess and Gia shouts as they're holding their drinks.

We're actually here at the subway, eating sandwiches while talking, I was the one who called them due to my frustration. I can't face Noah right now so I just texted him that I'll be absent today then turned off my phone.

No one would ever feel great after worrying for nothing. My anger made me feel burden inside, lots of words filling my head describing how stupid he was and continue to replay on my mind.

"Yeah, WHAT THE HELL! That's exactly what I keep saying," I rolled my eyes.

"Your boss has a good heart, huh?" Jess grinned.

"He's stupid," Gia says and I feel relate to what she said.

"That's true, sissy! He maybe handsome but his personality is kinda frustrating, he's a warm hearted person who can easily melted by just a few drops of tears.. Try to cry in front of him and he'll actually be there for you.."

I cannot help but to sound sarcastic, it was actually his fault. After walking away, he really did not try to chase me, the coldness wrapped against my skin was infuriating, I hate being exposed to snows when I didn't wear any thick coats. I didn't bother to choose my coats awhile ago for rushing to go to him, and shitty things had just happened, no one can justify this stupidity naturally came out from me.

"Should I go to him, then?" Jess asked while smiling widely.

"Hell no!" I glare at her.

"Why? Are you jealous? Do you like your boss?"

"W-what kind of question is that?" I stuttered.

This girl is annoying!

Gia puts her sandwich on the table and wiped her mouth with a tissue. After that, she turn her eyes on me looking innocent as always.

"Ey! Don't be embarrassed it's pretty obvious sissy! The way you look at him when he saved you in our apartment, your face is damn odd that day and I finally distinguish like boom! Raine is in love." She smiles.

"Y-you're actually w-wrong.. I don't have any f-feelings for h-him.." I looked away.

"And now! you're avoiding my gaze, huh? C'mon, Raine! I know you hahahaha!"

"Stop it, Jess.. That guy is stupid, Raine can't date a guy like him. He's no match to her," Gia sounds annoyed.

Now, Noah finally has a hater and that's Gia. I kind of feel surprised and sad knowing that she's not okay with him. After a long way of being with him, I can finally say that he's really a warm person, he has the ability to make them feel alright and I admit that I'am one of them.

He's stupid, yes. But aside from that, he's actually a perfect guy material. No one would ever match to him, but I think I can't defend him from my best friend right now I'll just let her hate him.

"Why not? Noah is a good man. Raine is just a tough one who always strike for justice that happens to be Noah's current situation right now. She also has to understand him, Noah's nature was different from us--her.." Jess explains and I think I understand her point, being our selves is natural and we can't just stop it just because we want to..

"But he's still unfair and selfless, he care about other people but not his. No one could ever make me understand that because for me, putting others first is not always good but still a good deed. However, before considering other people's situation, he should be looking forward to his own perspective.."

As I bite the sandwich with a great force, a guy was currently smiling at me like an idiot on the corner beside us, his firm body was added to his masculine looks but not my type..

I just rolled my eyes when I saw him wink at me, disgust filled my body as I find it perverted. His malicious face smirking around while his brows are trying to convince me.. I don't know but he seems like a dirt bag.

I just raised my brow at him before snapping on it. I don't want to pay attention to some perverted guys out there, Noah is way better than them.

Noah is gentleman.

Noah's smile can lose all my senses and stare at it forever.

Noah can't even look me in the eye which I find very respectful.

Noah has a humor, he don't even bother if he looks shameful to his crazy acts just to make people happy.

Noah is stupid but a good person, indeed.

And I can't hate him for being like that, he's too good to be true. Everyone will definitely fall for him if he's going to be like this in any way, and I don't have a choice but to guard him.

That night when we have our first kiss, I can't fall asleep and it repeats on my mind the whole night. No one wouldn't even feel anticipated to his way of kissing, his lips were mixed by alcohol feeling it as intoxicated while it's moving side ward to my bottom and upper lips. The feeling bloomed inside me was incredible, tasting his lips fights my inhibitions together. He has no idea how that kiss affect my whole feelings..

But unluckily as always, he forgotten about it again so I have to move forward pretending it never happens and nothing happened that night.

"Hey! You're not paying attention, Raine," Jess pouts and I immediately snapped back to my crappy reality.

"I'm sorry, I was just thinking of something.."

"Is it Noah?" Gia asks, frowning as she looked behind me.

"Yeah, it's him." I looked down.

Sometimes I want to stitch my mouth for being honest too much, I want to be mysterious at times but having this unfiltered mouth is kind of depressing the most.

"Don't know anymore!" I shouts. "He's depressing and I can't handle it anymore, I'll quit!"

I laugh to what I've said, I was like a drunk woman in the middle of the day shouting like her boyfriend was giving her a hard time, well, I actually don't have a boyfriend. That old lady from the café was just talking shit to me, he don't really like me and he don't even care for me.. That's that fact and it hurts. Like hell.

I saw the two looking surprised as their eyes glued behind me, I want to laugh for their reaction but I am more curious to what's behind me that it made them looked pale and surprised.

When I turn my head behind me a man's face suddenly go near my face and just a few inches were the only space between us. He's now smirking like a hot guy while his hands are on his knees, bending his body towards me.

I tried to move my body but it doesn't respond, I swear if he looks at me with those attractive eyes, I'll kiss him senseless here, in front of everyone and in front of my friends.

"Don't give up on me, lady. I'm just getting started," He says while looking at my lips and moved away.

My jaw dropped when I realized who is it..

Oh my god, its Noah!

He heard it! Oh, no. What should I do?
