C16 Soft sides

"Here, Drink this," He offered me water.

I immediately took the bottled water that he handed to me.

"Thanks," I said with a smile.

"Where is Watson?" He asked and looked around.

I smiled a little because of the word he uttered. This is the feeling when the person you want will accompany you to the place you want to go.

I smiled again "Let's go down one floor," I answered.

He nodded to me and held me by the elbow to support us when we were on the escalator. There are still a few who turn to me.

I was surprised when someone who looked like our age suddenly grabbed her hand and quickly walked upstairs. Because we are going down while they are going up. The others who saw also laughed and turned to that poor woman. That's a forbidden technique!

I looked at the person next to me who was shaking his head palely. He even raised his palm as if to say that he did nothing wrong. So I just laughed, Why did he turn pale immediately!

"Why are you pale," I asked laughing.

We started walking because I could see Watson.

He pouted "They suddenly grabbed me. I didn't touch them intentionally," He nervously explained.

I stopped walking and faced him. I raised an eyebrow at him so he swallowed the next one. Is he scared? But why?!

"I know," I answered with a frown. "Why do you look so scared and pale," I asked curiously.

"Nothing,"

"What is it?" I'm sorry.

I still haven't continued walking because he hasn't answered me yet.

"Nothing," he gently insisted.

He grabbed my elbow so I could walk but I just snorted at him.

"I thought you would be angry with me because of those girls," he answered.

I chuckled and shook my head "Why?" Laughing question.

I even brushed my hair before starting to walk again. Seriously? He turned pale because he thought I would be angry with him? Am I that childish?

"Nevermind," He answered shaking his head.

I've been dealing with lipstick stuffs, it looks like they're still newcomers because the style is new to my eyes.

"Which is better brown or red?" I have a serious question.

On the left I am holding the brown one and on the right is the red one. I smiled and waved at him.

"You," He answered simply before winking at me.

There were three women who turned around as if they didn't expect his answer either.

"I don't know if I'm asking you properly," I replied.

He smirked and stood straight.

"When you choose that brown lipstick you will look mature and when the red one for sure you gonna look hot as hell," He proudly said.

My brows raised.

"Really?"

"Yeah," he replied smiling.

He was just staring at me and simply glanced at my lips so I immediately looked away.

"Shall I buy these two?" I will ask.

He raised his brows "Do whatever you want. Do you want those two? If you want I will pay," he answered seriously.

"I will use it so I will pay,"

He pouted "It's me," he promised softly.

"I'm not your girlfriend," I didn't answer myself.

It was as if he was slapped by the truth and his face became serious. I was annoyed by my own avoidance of looking at him. I was still biting my bottom lip and trying to think of other words to say.

"Alright," He said coldly.

"Ah... what the--"

"I'll just wait for you outside," he answered seriously.

He pointed to the railings and turned away from her without hesitation. I feel like I'm crying because I'm so disgusted with myself. I stopped sobbing and just let out a deep breath.

It's true that I'm not his girlfriend but why was he hurt by what I said? But why do I feel more hurt?

"Here it is," I said to the cashier.

He nodded and I paid him the amount he said.

I was nervous to walk closer to him. What if he suddenly doesn't want me anymore because I made him face the words I said?

"Already done?" He greeted me.

His face was still serious so I held up a small paper bag that contained my purchase. I smiled awkwardly at him, he just raised an eyebrow at me and looked away.

"Where do you want to eat?" He asked coldly.

I looked at him annoyed, he looked around to find something to eat.

"Anywhere," I answered indifferently.

Why am I suddenly weak? Why do I feel like heaven and earth are entwined with me? Why am I annoyed with myself because he seems to be angry with me?

He immediately looked at me and his serious face changed to a cheerful one.

He took me to an Italian Restaurant. There were also quite a lot of customers so it would be difficult for us to find a seat, luckily two female friends got up and left. So we got their place.

"What do you want?" he asked.

He looked at me seriously and gestured to the menu book I was holding.

I read "Pasta Con Pomodoro E Basilico," I read the name of the food.

The waitress nodded "Sir?" He turned to face me.

"Same and please add two glasses of water, Thank you," he said seriously.

He immediately turned to me and looked at me seriously. I was in pain because I was already irritated by him! I didn't do anything wrong!

Don't worry!

"What?" I moaned.

"What?" He asked sternly.

Why?

I dreamed "If you can look, it looks like I did something bad,"

He just kept quiet and looked away.

"Why are you angry?" I asked irritated.

"I'm not angry," he defended.

"Why do you look serious if you're not angry?" I asked in surprise.

"Get angry right away? Can't you just slap the truth?" He mocked.

I pouted, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that because you're a badass! I was told I'll pay," I apologized.

"Yeah," he replied sparingly.

I was silenced by the simple answer. I feel like a child who has been accused of doing something wrong and has no right to make excuses because he might get even more angry.

What we ordered has arrived so I try to avoid looking at his sharp eyes.

"Selene..." He called me with wide eyes. "I'm not angry," he said.

"Okay, I'm really sorry for what I said," I sincerely apologized.

He nodded "It's fine, let's go eat. I just don't want the two of us facing each other in front of the table," She smiled.

And it was as if the world's cycle sped up and time reversed because of the sudden change in his expression.

The smile on his lips is wide and I feel like I'm going to be blinded by the brightness of his eyes.

"What time is your first class tomorrow?"

"9:30 am, You?" I returned to him.

"10:30," he answered.

I nodded my head.

"You're happy?" none of my smart questions.

His brows furrowed "Huh?" He asked in surprise.

I swallowed hard and bit my lower lip. I looked seriously and straight into his eyes full of wonder.

"I mean... Are you happy to be with me today?" I bit my lip and asked.

He smiled and snorted "Too much more,"

I immediately looked away from him. Even if he didn't say that I knew my face, I knew it from the way he looked at me.

His lips are staring at me with amazement.

Maybe he already knows the effect of his sweet words!

"Okay," I said simply. "Are there any horror movies showing in theaters now?" I'm different.

He shrugged "I'm not sure, Let's see. Is that what you want to watch after we're here?" He asked before drinking water.

I nodded "Yes... if that's okay?" I asked before drinking water as well.

"Of course!" He answered enthusiastically.

I smiled and nodded.

When we finished eating, we didn't leave our seats.

"I'm just going to the restroom," I said goodbye.

He immediately stood up and seemed to be going with me.

"There you go," I said to him.

I even raised my two hands.

He raised his brows "Someone will sit here," He pointed to the two lovers on our side.

I nodded "Okay,"

I walked to the restroom and I had to wait in line because there were also people waiting.

"Can you wait for me outside this restaurant?" I said annoyed.

I can hear the girls in front of me whispering about him and they seem to want to ask for Cyrus' number.

"I'm not going to go all the way," he answered with a laugh.

He straightened up on his side. He put his hand in his pocket. He also lightly slid his finger through his hair because the women in front of us were whispering more and more.

We didn't spend much time and I was able to freshen up.

Cyrus and I are already walking. Which is very formal without an arm wrapped around the waist.

I looked at him and our eyes met. He's staring at me?

"That's nice!" I point to a poster.

The poster design is horrible. Hoping when we watch it too! These are often scams.

He smiled and nodded "Two, Any seat as long as we are next to each other," He said to the cashier.

The woman smiled at him and nodded. It's good that he acted professionally and didn't flirt. Thank God.

We started watching as he held a bucket of popcorn. Sometimes my eyes are focused on what I'm watching, especially if it's intense. So what this person next to me is doing is simply teasing me and sometimes placing a drink in front of me. So I was able to drink while holding what he presented.

Sometimes I even get stuck and scream because of the strength of the sound effect. That's why I laughed when the person next to me turned to me with popcorn in his mouth.

I didn't know he was like this?! He's so sweet to me even though it's not obvious if you look at him at first! I want the word to come out of my mouth.

"I'm answering you," I whispered to him.
