Chapter Thirty-seven
Maxine’s Point of View
We got out of his car when we arrived at a nearby convenience store. I immediately dug in my pocket to find my wallet but my eyes widened and I was stunned when I couldn’t find a wallet there.
“Why?” Alyn asked when he noticed I wasn’t moving.
“I don’t have my wallet in my pocket,” then I averted my eyes from him, “I’ll just go back to the mansion and get my wallet. Don’t worry you don’t have to go with me anymore, I’ll just walk. ” I said.
“Use my card,” He replied and threw his card on me. He turned his back and walked towards the convenience store.
This guy, tsk!
I bent down and picked up the card he had dropped. I stared at that before deciding to use his card. I went into the convenience store and searched where the girly stuff was placed. I get two wrapped pads before going to the counter. By the way, where is Alyn? Didn’t he come in here earlier? Why didn’t I notice him after I entered?
I turned around to look for Alyn and when I saw him I just rolled my eyes. He’s out of the store talking to Ferries! What is that woman doing here? How did she know Alyn was here? Did Alyn call her?
When I paid, I left the store. When I came out, Ferries noticed me immediately because they were just standing in front of the store. She looked at me from head to toe before she covered her nose. Because of what she did my forehead frowned.
“Something stinks. Don’t you smell it, Alyn?” She asked Alyn while still covering her nose but she didn’t look at me anymore.
Before Alyn could answer I said, “Alyn, come on.”
I didn’t want to hear Alyn’s answer to Ferries’ question so I speak first before he could talk. I don’t care if I stink, as long as I don’t want to hear his answer because I might just hit him.
Alyn turned to me for a moment and then immediately turned back to Ferries, “We’re going home.” That’s all Alyn said and pulled my hand away.
Hmp! Be left alone there, Ferries!
“Wait, Alyn!” Detention of Ferries to us.
Alyn stopped so I stopped too. We turned together to Ferries who was approaching us.
“What else do you-” Alyn couldn’t continue what he was going to say when Ferries suddenly kissed him.
My eyes widened and I immediately pulled my hand away from Alyn’s grip. What the heck? I looked around to see if anyone had seen what Ferries had done. And yes, some have seen that scene.
“What the fuck?!” Alyn snarled after parting their lips.
“Why are you with her?” Ferries asked. “You should be with me today! You promised me!”
“Can you please stop your bullshit?” Alyn’s eyes shrunk. Anger was already on his face.
“Bullshit?” Ferries smirked, “Are you cheating on me that’s why you are with that woman?” Then she pointed at me.
What the heck is her problem? She really sympathized with me in their fight!
I looked around and saw that there were people stopping to watch us. I just bowed in embarrassment. My gosh! My blood might have come out of Alyn’s jacket and it’s even more embarrassing!
“Hey,” Alyn approached Ferries. He leaned closer to her to mutter, “Stop this now. Don’t waste my patience. Don’t make a scene here.”
Ferries smirked again and take one backward step away from Alyn, “Why would I stop?”
“Why? Because I can make your school life miserable in just one snap.” Alyn smirked and Ferries’ smirk faded. “Let’s go,” Alyn said and pulled me away.
“Wait,” I pulled my hand away as we approached the car.
“What?” He turned to me while his brows were furrowed.
“I want to change my underwear before going home. I’m not comfortable anymore.” My honest answer. Even though my own blood was coming out of me, I still couldn’t help but feel disgusted to it.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Are you going to buy clothes? Are you going to the mall?” He asked.
I shrugged, “I don’t know. Maybe you can buy for me.”
“What?” His eyebrows met even more, “You must be insane.” He said while shaking his head.
I pouted, “Only just once! Please, Alyn,” I approached him and held his arm, “Please, do me a favor, hmm?”
He removed my hand from his and backed away slowly, “Don’t come near me. You smell,” he commented while covering his nose.
“Arg! I hate you! Your card is yours!” I threw him his card, “I don’t need your help anymore! And this?” I showed him the pads I bought, “I’ll pay what I spent on your card when I get home!” I rolled my eyes and turned my back on him.
I don’t need his help! If he doesn’t want to buy me clothes, then don’t! He actually even told me I smelled. Tsk! You thought he smelled so good! Arg! If only I could eat human, I would eat him alive!
I just kept walking. I turned my back when I couldn’t feel Alyn following me.
“He didn’t really follow me to help? Arg! Alyn, asshole!” I said to myself and when I turned to walk again I suddenly bumped into something.
I looked up as my two eyebrows met but they also disappeared when I saw an angel.
“Miss? Uhm, miss? Miss, are you okay? Hello?” He waved his hand in front of my eyes reason for me to come back to sanity.
My gosh! Shameful!
“U-Uhm, sorry.” I apologize.
“It’s okay, are you lost?” He asked.
I looked around and my eyes widened when I noticed that I was not familiar with this place. Gosh! It’s Alyn’s fault! If only he had agreed to help me, I would not be here! I’m really lost.
“Can I borrow your phone?” I was embarrassed to ask the man, “Don’t worry I’ll give it back right away.”
He smiled, “It’s okay. Here,” and handed me his phone.
“Thank you,” I said and turned my back on him to call Louis.
I typed Louis’ number on the phone before hitting the “call” button. The phone rang a few times before the call automatically ended. Damn. Is he busy? What should I do? I don’t know the number of Byron and the others.
I took a deep breath before trying to call Louis again. I even tried several times but no one really answered. I sighed before facing the angel- I mean, the kind man who lent me the phone again.
I forced a smile before handing him his phone, “Thank you again.”
“No problem.” He smiled back, “Did you solved your problem?”
“Uhm …” I averted my gaze, “The person I’m calling doesn’t answer the call, I don’t know where to go home.”
“You can come with me first then I’ll help you after I feed my dog.”
I turned to him and stared at him for a while. I looked down at the leash he was holding, that’s when I noticed that he was carrying a dog. So cute! But her boss is cuter. Wait, isn’t it embarrassing if I go with him? I don’t know how many minutes have passed and I haven’tchange my clothes yet. I’m not sure if it’s just minutes or hours.
“I-Is it okay? Uhm…” I bowed my head and played my fingers, “The thing is, I have period today and I haven’t been able to exchange.”
He giggled, “It’s OK. Let’s go?”
I just nodded and followed him. When we got to his condo he went straight to the kitchen to get his dog’s food. While I remained standing in the doorway, I didn’t want to sit down because I might just bleed his couch.
After a few moments he came out of the kitchen, “You don’t want to sit down?” He asked when he noticed that I was still standing.
I shook my head, “I might put blood on your couch.”
Maybe he only lives here alone because the space is small, the room model seems like for only one person to live in.
“Yeah by the way, sorry I forgot.” He scratched his head, “Do you have a change of clothes?”
Damn. I forgot I didn’t have any clothes to wear and I haven’t purchase anything yet!
“S-Sorry, I forgot I don’t have any.” I bit my lower lip and averted my eyes from him.
“Oh, that’s okay. I can lend you my shorts and t-shirt. You can wear my sister’s underwear that she hasn’t used yet.” He utter.
He’s so kind and I’m ashamed of myself! Why does it have to happen this now? Why in this situation did I met him!? Damn.
“T-Thanks,” I said, “and sorry for being a bothersome.”
“My pleasure. I’ll get what you’re going to wear first,” he said and walked to enter the room.
By the way, what is his name?
