Chapter 87 - Bad Timing

I woke up early in the morning with a big smile on my face. I was so happy that me and Noah were now okay. He even drive me here last night.

We finished all the works yesterday and I was planning to buy groceries today since it's weekend. I already listed all the things to buy on my note. I was so embarrassed of Jess and Gia because they paid for the grocery last month so I had to make up with them.

I received my salary yesterday and it's now ready to withdraw on my bank account. Noah gave me a higher salary, I want to refused but he insisted. I can't be his full time employee since I've decided to go back to school again, I can't manage my time for that and he's just too stubborn to give me that high salary.

And I can't also neglect my studies in the future..

I stood up and went inside the bathroom. I spent a long time washing myself on the bathtub, it feels good that I stayed longer here, the water pressure was a little warm so I didn't felt any coldness..

I wear a silk robe when I finished bathing. I stood up in front of the mirror and brush my teeth. I remember how I love brushing my teeth when I was a little. My mom was always the one who brushed it and I was so happy that I could see her smiling with the simple things.

I suddenly miss her..

I just quickly finished it and bowed a little to wash my mouth with water. I wiped it and do a skincare on my face. I used my bunny headband to prevent my hair from straddling on my face.

When I'm finally done, I immediately went to my dressing table to blow my hair. I curled my hair on the tip and fixed it nicely. I smiled when I applied some minimal make up and put some liptint. I curled my eyelashes upwards and put some concealer below my eyebags. I smiled when I saw my face on the mirror.

I looked simple and beautiful.. Wow! I'm too full of myself, duh!

I went to my cabinet and wear some white off-shoulder blouse and a high-waisted jeans with a pair of white high heels. My friends asked me to go to the bar because it's Bailey's birthday today, so I just straightly wear this. I'll just go for a grocery for a bit and go the bar after that.

I didn't want to bother changing again later, tho.

I didn't have any gift so I'll just drop by the mall later and get something to give to her. I didn't want her to think that I don't love her.

I took a cab to get on the supermarket and immediately went inside it. I looked for a stroller and smiled when I saw the last piece of it. I immediately walked to get it but a tall guy took it first. I suddenly felt annoyed when his back was so broad that It literally blocked my face.

"Excuse me? I saw that first!" I contain myself to rose up my irritation.

The guy looked familiar on the back but I didn't bother to think about it. I just needed the stroller back!

"But I got it first--" I was shocked when Noah appeared on my face. He's wearing a plain black shirt and a denim pants exposing his long legs.

He looked surprised too and he rubbed the back of his neck while smiling awkwardly to me. I smirked and wrapped my arms around his arm.

"H-hey! W-what are y-you d-doing?" He asked nervously but I just ignored him.

I dragged him on the milk section and put 3 liters of non-fat fresh milk on the cart. I'm on my diet and I had to maintain my weight.

I also put some tea and a jar of black coffee. He looked confused while watching me placing everything on the cart. I chuckled a bit when his forehead crumpled.

"Seriously? You can have this," He's about to leave when I immediately grabbed his hand.

His face softened when I acted cute in front of him. "We can do our grocery together, baby," I smiled.

He sighed heavily before turning back to the stroller. I also told him to put his things there separately too if he wants to part our goods. I don't have any complains about that, tho.

"Do you also want some diapers?" He sarcastically asked while his eyes were on my milks.

I immediately glared at him and he just replied with a chuckle.

"That's for my diet, you idiot!" I rolled my eyes.

"I'm just joking, okay?" He purse his lips.

I just ignored him and went to the pastry section. I looked for a white bread so I could also use an alternative on my carbohydrates, my body still needs some of it you know..

"What a hectic! Girls are so picky and complicated," He rolled his eyes.

I arched a brow at him, "What do you mean?"

"Why do you need to diet when you're already fit?" He laughs.

"It's none of your goddamn business," I rolled my eyes before turning back at him.

Seriously? He can't get it? Not because I'm thin, it doesn't mean that I'm already fit!

I groaned and give him a glare when sometimes our gazes meets. He's smirking the whole time while I was so annoyed by him. Grr.

"Tissue! Do you know where's the tissue?" I asked him.

"Oh, I'm sorry ma'am but we do not have that here for now, maybe when the stock will come, wait a minute I'll ask the management," He answered sarcastically.

My brows furrowed and that made him laughed so hard.

"Seriously?! You're teasing me for awhile and I'm just ignoring you but you're going to too far now!" I shouted in frustration.

Other people around was looking at us now. I blushed when I saw Noah preventing himself to laugh again. I felt so embarrassed so I immediately went to the other section, trying to ignore what happened.

Damn. I think it's really a bad idea to come here with him.

"Hey, do you need help?" He asked behind me while I'm trying to pull the tissue above me.

I can't reach it, it's too high and the staffs are just stupid to put that there!

Ugh! Do they think that everyone has the same height?

"Let me get it for you," He approached me and get the tissue above.

I remained silent when he gave it to me. I didn't even say thank you in irritation, instead I just rolled my eyes and leave him there again.

He chuckled and told me to wait for him. Duh! Why would I wait for him?!

"Baby.." He says in a soft voice.

I was looking for good brand of canned beer and there it is! I grabbed 10 canned beers and some cola.

"Raine.." He called again.

"Shut up, Noah. Don't fucking disturb me," I glared at him.

He pouts and nodded. I wanna tell him that I'm not angry but I'll just say it later. I still need to find my favorite instant noodles.

When I'm finally done, I asked him if he's also done he just nodded and stayed quiet. I just silently payed for my bill before grabbing it but he immediately held my wrist. I raised a brow at him.

"Wait for me," He said while giving his card to the cashier. The woman gave his card back with a seductive smiles so I couldn't help but to wrapped my arms around his arms and dragged him out of there.

He took the paper bag on my hand and carried it with him so I didn't protest and walked with him outside.

We stopped by his car and he placed the paper bag in the passenger seat. I turn my eyes at him and about to ask when he suddenly kissed my forehead.

"What's that for?" I chuckled.

"I missed you.." He muttered and my heart suddenly beats so fast.

I bit my lower lip and looked around. When I saw that there's no people around I immediately pulled his sleeve and kissed him on his lips.

He smiles and held my waist, he kissed the tip of my nose before opening his car.

"To your apartment?" He asked and I nodded.

We arrived on my apartment immediately and he also offered to carry my groceries up there. I didn't refused since I also want to stay with him longer.

When we get inside, I told him to wait for me on the living room so I can make some snack for him. He just nodded and sat on our sofa.

I just made a tuna sandwich and an orange juice for him. I still need to go to Bailey's party later so we can't stay longer here, though I felt a little sad about that.

It's a very bad timing for me..

"Are you going somewhere?" He asked while watching me retouching my make up.

"Yeah. It's Bailey's birthday and she invited me to a bar with our friends,"

I closed my palette make up and placed it back inside my bag again. I looked at him and hugged him sideward. He stiffed but I hugged him more.. God, I missed him..

"Y-you said..I'm a..c-clingy but you--"

I immediately move away and glared at him.

"You don't want me to hug you?" I felt a little hurt.

His eyes widened and he immediately shook his head. "O-of course not!" He defend.

He bit his lower lip and his eyes turn to my lips. I suddenly felt excited to what will he gonna do next. God! I want to kiss him so bad again!

"I'm just startled because I was in control of my own..feelings.." He muttered and looked away.

His cheeks are flaring and it makes me so damn happy looking at him on that way. Oh god.
