You told me, you are my boyfriend! Are you from the past?

**

Just as Maria had expected. Max was already on campus. He was not spending time in class or the library like a nerd looking for knowledge.

The handsome man was sitting relaxed in a café chair, with his hands perched on the edge of the chair.

Max opened the sunglasses he was wearing, showing off his bright blue eyes.

Everyone knew that Max's appearance and face always steal the show. It made his friend a little jealous. Yet the man looked cool and didn't care about the gaze of the girls on him.

He was a guy who can be friendly and cool at the same time. Max was quite picky with a girl. He had never been in a relationship with a girl, even though there were so many girls waiting for that luck.

Thud!!

Leah stroked her forehead, why was she so careless this morning.

She dropped the contents of the box she was carrying. A box with a size of one and a half meters. It was quite heavy for the girl to lift.

Leah immediately crouched down. She put the box on the floor and started picking up the fruit rolling on the floor. Luckily it wasn't ripe. If this fruit riped, and she accidentally dropped it like this, there would be a lot of broken fruits.

The thought of having to compensate for this fruit, made her take a deep breath and a heavy sigh. How to compensate if the money she made here wasn't even enough for her life.

Someone wearing clean expensive shoes was also squatted in front of Leah.

The man stretched out his hand, helped to pick up the fruit that was still scattered on the floor.

Leah could see the expensive shoes and the expanding muscle at the base of the man's arm, but she didn't have time to raise her head to see the face of the man who was helping her.

Max helped Leah pick up the fruit strewn on the floor without being asked.

"Mm, thank you. You don't have to bother." Leah refused Max's help.

The girl fasted her movements, she didn't need anyone's help.

That girl used to do anything, picking fruit like this was easy for her, she quickly finished the job.

Leah held the filled box back up. Lifting quickly and swiftly.

Max stood still behind Leah's back. He was quite surprised to see the strength and ability of that mini-market employee. He still couldn't believe it, how could a girl lift such a heavy box.

"What's wrong? Is that girl just ignoring you! Wow, amazing!" Leon's voice knocked Max out of his mind.

'Yes, I think so'. The girl even refused his help. Max just shrugged.

"Girls like that should stay away from men like us because our lives are very different from them. She is not our level," shouted Leon.

"You're so arrogant, Leon. But yes, it is true", replied Max.

Leon and Max returned to the café and sat on their chairs. Enjoying warm coffee and girls drooling gaze.

It was the popular campus area, with rows of cafés with glass walls, where students could enjoy a day apart from studying. In between the cafés where the students hang out, there was a mini-market where Leah worked.

Max looked into the mini market, where the girl was still busy working.

Leon squinted, he was surprised by his best friend's gaze.

"Choose a girl you want here!" Leon said while pointing with the tail of his eye.

"The blonde, the black hair with the exotic skin, the blue eyes with a smile and dimples, or…"

He stopped talking, Max's raised palms made Leon suddenly silent.

"Have you made your choice! Wow." Leon was amazed.

How fast did Max select a girl? Leon laughed to himself. It turned out that the campus prince was already an adult.

Max looked the other way, to the parking lot beside the café.

He saw the girl again. Why was that girl now getting into an argument with a curly brown-haired man?

Max tried to listen, but he couldn't hear anything from this distance. Only a serious face could be seen in his eyes. It looked like that girl got into pretty serious trouble.

Max got up from his chair.

"Hey, where are you going?. Those attractive girls are over there!"

Leon felt confused about why Max was going in the other direction. He pointed at the girl group who had been staring at their chairs. Leon was even more surprised by Max's strange behavior this morning. Couldn't we have breakfast in comfort?

'Max, I have a hard time understanding you!' Leon grumbled to himself.

Seeing the girl and the curly man arguing, Max did not immediately interfere. He listened to their words first.

He leaned the bases of his arms against the wall, peered into the argument between the girl and the curly man.

"I told you, Alex, don't take me to your party!"

"I'm not coming!" Leah said firmly. She wiped the long, knotted hair that had fallen on her face.

"Come on Leah, you have to go with me!" Alex started to insist.

"No. I have a lot of work! "

"Leah. You have to go with me! " He said in a forcing tone and caught Leah's wrist. He was a pushy guy.

The curly-man behavior made Max chuckle. From the side of the wall, Max straightened his back. His hands were folded across his chest, he was about to step on his feet, out of his hiding place.

"Let me go!" asked Leah.

"No!"

"Take your hands off!!" Leah's voice was furious.

"No, until you say yes!" Alex insisted.

"Let me go!"

"No!" Alex irritated Leah even more.

"Tell me you're going to the club with me!" Alex still insisted

"I told you, I'm not coming!"

"Come on!"

"Alex, you pissed me off!" Alex instead imitated Leah's words, he made fun of her on purpose.

"Come on, Leah, just once." This guy was annoying.

Leah was exhausted. She pulled her hand from Alex's grip, Leah's pull knocked Alex off balance. The man fell on the parking floor.

Leah chuckled, she teased Alex.

"Leah. Don't make me rude at you!" Alex raised his voice.

Alex was pissed off, the man got up from his position, he patted his slightly dirty back pants.

The atmosphere was getting worse. Max opened his arms. He started to take steps and get involved.

"Come on Leah, I'm asking nicely but you--"

Alex's close face to Leah was immediately blocked by Max's body. This man suddenly appeared in between their arguments. Made Leah and Alex take a few steps back.

'Who is he?' Alex frowned.

"This girl didn't go with you," said Max, staring into Alex's eyes.

There were jealousy and anger in those eyes. The bright blue eyes seemed to glow in the morning sunshine.

The curly man shrugged his shoulders in front of Max. Alex raised his eyebrows, he asked Leah with twitching brows, who was this strange young man between them, who had joined without an invitation?

Leah shook her head. She had no idea. She didn't know the owner of the board back who pushed her position against the wall.

"Who are you!" asked Alex sarcastically.

"She's not going to a nightclub with a guy like you!" Said Max with a confident face.

"Hah!" Only those words left Alex's mouth.

He looked at Leah, and the girl denied Max's words by shaking her head.

Alex looked back in disbelief at Max's blue eyes.

"Because she goes out with a man like me, just like me!" Said Max, tugging at Leah's wrist.

Leah was surprised, in the end, she only saw Max's grip on his wrist. She could feel Max's warm palm like the morning sun hitting her skin as she woke up on a cold morning.

Max kept Leah's position behind his back, he was like a father protecting his little daughter when a bad boy was about to take his child's lollipop.

Boom… Boom… Boom…

Suddenly, she felt something pounding inside her chest, making her a little surprised.

"Hah! You are-- "Alex laughed sarcastically.

Alex became more convinced as Leah shook her head. How could a handsome young man wearing a famous college jacket and Leah be together? This guy must be joking, huh!

"Who are you!" Alex pointed suspiciously.

Max turned back, so he could see Leah's innocent and confused face. He grabbed Leah's arm again until she fell into his arms.

Leah came into the embrace of this strange man. She could feel a broad chest, firm shoulders, and warm palms. Made Leah's chest-pounding even more. Shit, what was this? Wait. Wasn't he the same man! The shoes were familiar, he was the man earlier.

"I am her boyfriend!!" replied Max, pushing Leah's body against the wall.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...
