C22 Bab 22

After lunch, I heard everyone's whispers before I left my classroom. Because of their whispers, I don't know whether I will be irritated or nervous.

Oh my gosh. He's here, Rozen Alcantara."

'What does he do in the Law Department?'

'Maybe to pick up Allison, she said they were on their way.'

It wasn't until I looked outside that I realized Saint was waiting. Oh my god, maybe he wasn't serious about his text earlier? Saint wouldn't hurt Psalm, right?

"Sabrina, I'll go now. Eat your lunch okay?" Psalm asked me with a smile, I smiled at him and nodded.

"You too, don't stay up too late." He just winked at me and smiled.

"Got that." He said and left the classroom, I saw how sharp Saint's gaze was on Psalm, but Psalm just smiled at him.

I took a deep breath and left the classroom. I tried to ignore Saint but I felt him following me. So I walked even faster.

But I was very surprised when Saint suddenly pulled me. I looked at his face and noticed he was frowning and I knew he was thinking a lot. Just because of his frowning face, it's obvious.

I immediately got nervous when I remembered his text again. Is he really serious there? He stopped walking and he stopped pulling me. I looked around. Where is it? Is it still at school?

"Clea?" I immediately turned to him and saw him take off his eyepatch so my eyes immediately widened.

"Saint! What if someone sees?" I said confused.

"No. This place isn't in school." Huh? What? Not Under at school? Well, it's like a garden, besides, how did we get here so quickly if it wasn't at school?

"Don't make fun of me. Wear that so someone can see. Besides, where else are we going? I haven't seen it here yet." I asked him.

"Because we're not at school.." He said calmly. I immediately raised my eyebrows.

"Whatever you say, Saint put it back. Maybe someone will see." When I persisted, she shook her head and combed her hair with her fingers.

"No one will see here, I swear." I couldn't do anything because that's what he said so I just nodded to him.

"Now, are you not taking me seriously?" His tone was deep when he asked that.

"What do you mean?" I asked him confused, what did he mean?

"Me? Courting you, do you think I'm just joking?" he asked. My throat immediately felt dry. I don't know what to answer, I'm not really used to the thought that this is how Saint speaks towards me.

Saint laughed softly. "You can't even answer me..." he said softly. I immediately bowed. I don't want to see Saint's eyes.

"Why? Do you hate me so much that you don't even care about what I feel?" he asked. I can feel he is hurting.

"When I confessed to you, you stayed away...you misled Psalm. Now, I am courting you but you can't even see my efforts. You can't even smile at me like how you smile at Psalm. Do you loathed me that much?" I bit my lip. I don't know what to say, I don't know if I should answer or just listen to what he resented me for.

"I am carrying these shitty feelings for you for over a decade now. This is making me crazy, Klea." His voice saddened.

"If you don't like me then don't stare at me like you are saying that I should be yours. If you don't like me, do the best shot you have to avoid me all you can..." he paused.

"I know I've said that you always have a special place in my heart, yes that's true. You have a special place in my heart and that terrifies me." Oh no...what did I just do? Why am I hurting Saint so much?

I looked up at him. And when our eyes meet all I can see in his eyes is sadness and pain. I never knew Saint could also feel this way, I thought he was heartless.

"I'm sorry, for not understanding your feelings," I said with almost no voice. "But please understand that Psalm is my close friend and I can't shut him down like that just because you want me to stay away from him."

"So if it's Psalm you can't shut him down? But when I can? I just confessed to you that you didn't pay attention to me anymore, is it that easy to ignore me Klea?" Saint shook his head as he averted his gaze from me.

"Listen to me...this is the last time. I already tried when I confessed to you, and I repeated it again when I said I'll court you. I'll try again and this is the last time I'll be trying..." He paused and looked me directly into my eyes.

"And if you'll shut me down again, I won't bother you anymore. Because I am getting tired already."

^^^

The whole day I couldn't get Saint's words out of my mind. He's tired already? Am I really being too harsh to him? He was always there by my side, and I didn't even ask him if he was okay. He always put me first. Ugh! Sabrina, why are you so dumb?

As I walked towards the parking lot, I saw Saint leaning against his car, deep in thought. I took a deep breath, just give him a chance Sabrina. Nothing will be lost.

I plucked up my courage and walked towards Saint. I tried not to be noisy but he felt really stronger and he looked up at me.

He sighed. But before he could speak, I immediately greeted him with a hug. I felt him stunned, but later on, I felt his arms on my waist.

"I'm sorry..." I said softly enough for him to hear.

"I am just scared that the underground might find out about it, and I'm afraid that they will use me against you. I can't let you get hurt just because of me, Saint..." I explained.

I gasped when I felt Saint's lips on my forehead. And he's starting to caress my hair.

"Don't worry baby...they won't hurt me. I won't let that happen." I smiled at what Saint said, I pressed myself even more into his arms until I could smell his perfume. He smells so good.

I looked up at Saint and saw him closing his eyes while smiling. He then looked at me and raised his eyebrows.

"Yes?" He said. He's handsome. The size of his eyes, and the length of his eyelashes.

"Let's go home." I insisted. And separated from him. He nodded at me and opened the passenger seat's door for me. I smiled at him and went inside.

He got into the driver's seat and drove the car out of the school parking lot. I was about to close my eyes when Saint spoke.

"Clea?" He called me.

"Hmm?"

"It was just a joke earlier. I will never give up on you, even if all your admirers come out I don't care. As long as you are mine." I immediately turned to him and my eyes narrowed.

"Saint! I thought that was true!" I scolded.

"Why? Won't you hug me if I didn't say that?" He asked, I just rolled my eyes at him and he grinned at me.

"Even if you reject me or even if you push me away, I will follow you anywhere." I just listened to him while he was talking.

"They say the world is over a billion and more years old, but mine is just twenty." I immediately frowned at what he said.

"Huh?" I said in confusion.

"You're my world, Clea." He said. I immediately turned around outside the young man's car. My heartbeat is so fast! I don't know what to do.

I felt the car stop so I looked around. We are not at the mansion yet, but why did he stop the car? I looked at him and saw that he removed his eyepatch and looked directly at me.
