61 Chapter 60: You Wanna Talk About It?

Walking out of the mall... I can already feel the warm summer air... Ahh... it's getting hotter... I wipe my neck as I started to sweat...

"I didn't expect you to be here." A familiar voice greets me.

I stood up straight, glaring at the pink van in front of me and the man inside it. Sitting down with a serious look in his face as he peered through the window. IT'S ALEX! Oh right... there was a concert with Sugar Time in the mall from what I remember...

"Oh... hello Alex.." I said in an apathetic demeanor, hiding the fact that I was surprised by the sudden pop by.

"I suppose you are heading back to the dorm rooms right? Since we are dorm mates. I'll offer you a lift. What do you say?" He gave me a cheeky smile, saving a seat for me inside the van.

"No thanks. I have a cab coming here... and It'd be like awkward to join you in a van anyways." I politely declined.

Alex's fiery eyes glowed with anger. "Well suit yourself. I offered you a fucking lift because I was trying to be nice. But you're just being a bitch about it." He said pouting cheeks.

I find it cute that even if he's angry he still looks adorable... "On second thought... I'll cancel the cab. I'll go ahead and join you in the van. I mean it would be rude like you said if I declined right?"

He puffed up his chest to look down on me. "Like you'd have a second chance in getting on the van. Didn't you say you had a cab or whatever? GO AHEAD AND TAKE THAT THEN."

I chuckled softly. Getting his attention and gearing his nerves more. "STOP LAUGHING. IT'S NOT FUNNY GOT IT!"

I continued to chuckle softly. As much I don't want to keep annoying him! It's just laughable honestly! He is ridiculous and comical when he's angry. It almost as fun seeing him angry than being happy! Not trying to be a sadist or anything.

"YOU GOT SOME NERVE LAUGHING AT ME!" He shouted.

"HEY CAN YOU TWO HURRY IT UP WITH YOUR CHIT CHATS OR WHATEVER. YOU TWO ACT LIKE A COUPLE. GET A ROOM ALREADY." The driver shouted in a pit of rage. Catching us both off guard by the sudden tantrum.

"WE ARE NOT A COUPLE!" We both shouted in unison, blushing in a peachy red color.

I chuckled and sat next to Alex's seat. As he saw me. He was taken aback a little. Giving me a glare. "So you just jump in the car without even saying thank you and such. You are really unrefined." He said in a boastful manner.

I placed my hand on top of his. Touching it softly as I felt his soft hand. "Thank you. I really mean it. I was in a bad mood and thanks to you... I'm kind of feeling a bit better than I initially was."

"Uh.. sure... BUT LET GO OF MY HAND." Alex shakes my hand off as he blushed like a red tomato. I can sense him keeping a distance from me.

"Are the two of you dating? I can't believe Alex actually has a girlfriend. I mean Alex is so terrible as a person that I don't think there's someone who would even like Alex as a person. I mean without his idol career. He'll just be a normal loser in the street." The man at the front of the car teases Alex. With harsh facts...

Ouch... I KNOW THEY AREN'T DIRECTED TO ME BUT WHY DOES IT HURT SO MUCH..

"This is why I need a new manager..." Alex facepalm. "CAUSE MY CURRENT ONE IS AN ADULTERY WOMANIZER. I MEAN LEGIT. HOW MANY WOMEN HAVE YOU SLEPT WITH THIS WEEK? PRETTY SURE MORE THAN 5 RIGHT?" Alex clapped back towards the person in front of him.

"SHUSH! THERE'S ANOTHER PERSON HERE. DON'T GO EXPOSING ME IN FRONT OF HER." The driver shushed Alex as they both looked away from each other like children.

Why do they remind me so much of my mom and I? Like, do they have a father and son relationship? Although it's quite humourous seeing them expose each other like that nonchalantly. I expected them to at least be respectful to one another since I'm also in the van.

"Also to answer your question, my perverse womanizer manager. This lady beside me is my roommate. We are fri-" Alex pauses for a little.

Huh? I think he was about to say friends... but why did he suddenly stuttered?

"Actually... I'm not even sure what we are. We are just mere roommates I suppose. Just acquaintances." He said pathetically.

I mean... he isn't wrong... that we just roommates.. but he did open up before to me... I don't think we are just mere acquaintances.

"Actually. I think we are friends. I mean we did open up to each other before right?" I said to both of them.

"HAHAHA!" The man in front of the car burst out laughing. "I CAN'T BELIEVE ALEX ACTUALLY HAS A FRIEND! All these years I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT KID talk to anyone his age since he was a child. SO IT'S REALLY REFRESHING TO FINALLY see him with someone and here I thought he'd be forever alone and he'll never have friends."

Since he was a child? Does that mean this man in front him.. knows him when he was still a child? COULD IT BE ALEX'S FATHER?! But.. wait..

As I focused on the man's facial features... it's so far apart from Alex's.. he has short eyes with a white pale skin. He looks like an Asian, Korean or Chinese... however with Alex.. he has round eyes... they are nowhere alike.

"I REALLY need to get a new manager..." Alex sighed.

"I'm sorry if I'm being blunt about this but what exactly is the relationship with the two of you?" I asked them straightforwardly.

Alex leaned in towards me. "This goofball in front of you is my guardian. Well, I grew up in an orphanage actually. I remembered growing with multiple children who got abandoned by their parents or they died. Well in my case. My parents left me because they weren't able to take care of me very well due to their unplanned pregnancy. So I never even got to see them."

Oh my... Alex's parents... abandoned him... it's kind of... similar to me I suppose... I mean I have two mothers... surely they couldn't have created me...

"I saw Alex, alone and scared at the orphanage... He was the cutest little thing there. Although I'm a single man and a womanizer I never wanted a child but I knew he was destined for greatness.. so I decided to adopt him and he became the rising star that he is now. Although that attitude still needs some work." His guardian added.

"Are you okay Lisa? Seems like me telling my story has gotten you a bit bothered..." Alex pats my shoulders, asking if I was okay.

"Oh, I'm fine. Just a bit of nostalgia... but anyways... I kind of feel sorry for you... I mean you weren't able to see your own parents..." I said giving Alex some sympathy.

"Well. I don't need your pity." He brushed me off. "Actually. Don't get all sappy just because I said these things to you. It's just cause you look like you were in a bad mood. So I said to them. That's all." He stated dismissively making eye contact.

"We should go head to your dorms guys! I'll go ahead and start driving to the college so you guys can rest up. Make sure to rest your voice Alex got it!" The man advised to Alex.

"RIGHT RIGHT right," Alex says in slight irritation.

This is the van for the Sugar Time Idol group right?! I mean it's a pink van! So I'm wondering where is Sugar Bear and the others...

"Anyways... You guys were in the concert for Sugar Time, right? I mean from the mall.. Where are the other members of that idol group when this is the van."

"Actually, the Sugar Time members legit hate each other. We usually just pretend we like each other during events and interviews but once the concerts are done. We ditch each other's presence. I mean legit the others are so annoying and egotistical." Alex explained.

"Oh... I guess... I didn't realize that... I guess you guys put on such a brilliant performance outside that people often get tricked that you guys are friends... but you guys aren't friends..." I said in a lowly tone.

"How about you?" He suddenly asked me, making me jump.

"Pardon?" I replied quickly.

"You said.. that you were in a bad mood. I am guessing something happen in the mall today right? Well I'm not saying that you should chitchat with me and I ain't being nosy or whatever... but.. wanna talk about it?
