9 He is the fool in love

"OYE! DEFENDER!"

The yelling voice distracted the attention toward Maliah and Ryan. Everyone's attention were broken into the man with two men who flickered there like a wind.

Sean wiped up his hair by his hand and blown a kiss with a wink to Maliah. As he was the dream prince for her.

Ryan and Maliah looked at them as HOW THEY HOPPED INTO THIS AREA!

Ryan annoyingly gazed on Sean but poked his finger on Maliah's forehead. "Everything is happening because of you, THE PRINCESS!" he claimed by swallowing his jealousy that Sean named her as PRINCESS.

"YIKE! PRINCESS! For whom?" Maliah asked with irritation.

But Sean grabbed and squeezed Ryan's finger as to stopped poking at her. "Oye! You may poked her before but how dare you into front of me?" he grunted as no one, even God won't let Maliah hurt when he is with her.

Ryan blinked with breathe fire. If he was in the position of the real 20's Ryan, he would definitely squished Sean's hand and fold onto his back. Unfortunately, his act of teenage as Max can't helped himself. His mood was ruined like the child missed to bought an ice-cream. He clinched fist to hold down all his grudge and looked at Maliah. "Oye Hero! Kick his butt like you did to me." he blamed on Maliah helplessly.

"Why me? He is in your hand. Remember the deal." Maliah stated as she doesn't kind of any. She watched at them both and step out a little.

But Ryan grabbed Maliah's shirt and pulled next to him as she was not allowed run away. Actually, Ryan want to punch on Sean's face but he could not kept any record rather than he was a student with good grade and studied abroad after that. "Maliah, just tell the real words you've to say." He arrow with fiery gazed to Sean.

Maliah looked at both and stand in the middle of the two lions. But she remembered lioness has the better willpower and stretched out her two fists on both faces. "Stop! I hate you both." she chilled out and walked straight.

Sean's rubbed his face and about to followed her, Ryan pulled him back and ran after her. "Maliah! Let's go home together." Ryan eased her mood.

Sean didn't stand up but punched onto to ground, "Next time! I won't be easy." he hissed.

(At the college gate)

Ryan gazed at her sneaky but did not looked at her as before. He felt something unexplainable feeling that he haven't felt before. He felt nervous and do not understand how to start a conversation as usual.

Maliah also felt the same as him but embraced herself as Ryan has to be with Jina. She looked at Ryan and noticed he felt something uncomfortable with the atmosphere. "You must be annoyed by me." she blamed herself.

"Ah! Me? No... It's okay." Ryan waved his two hands as everything is fine.

They walked together quitely but Ryan felt annoyed of it. He was fallen in love but he is fool in love, this is his case.

"Ah! So annoying!" Ryan split out and in a blink, he changed, "That punk is so annoying everywhere."

Maliah looked at him suspiciously, "Everywhere?" she narrowed her eyes. "Did you guys meet up frequently?" she asked.

"Nooo..." Ryan swaying his head and claimed, "He was not our College's student but hopped into unexpected." He sneaked his eyes and continued, "He is so annoying. Does he?"

"Ex are an example of snake." she murmured.

Ryan heard 'SNAKE' but did not heard others clearly. "Snake! Where?" he questioned and look for it.

"Not about that! That man was a snake. He turned out like a venom to me." She giggled.

She glanced at him and felt something cuteness. But everything was hopeless when Jina pop-up in her mind.

'Thump-thump! Thump-thump!' Ryan's heart beat speed up with Maliah's smile. He slapped on himself. "Stop! What does this bridesmaid done to me?" he mumbled and looked away.

Maliah felt something was wrong with him, "Max, are you okay?" she asked and took out the water bottle. "Here! Have some.."

"Yes, water! Thanks!" he consumed it as a vampire need blood. "It's hot!" he gasped with a breathe.

"Don't think too much. Go home and take rest! Everything will be fine." She cheered him as his tempered wasn't cool down from the canteen incident.

But his hand grabbed her hand out of blue as he didn't want to send her home.

Maliah was also surprised but suppressed her feeling. Her cheeks were blushing and gazed down on the ground.

Ryan glanced at her brought his nerves back and changed the topic, "You fool! I'm so hot and tired. Take my bag and let's go to the park!" He swings his bag onto Maliah's hand and walk as he was THE MAN OF LIBERTY with a big smile.

"What! You brat!" she mumbled and ran after him, "Wait! Let's go together."

(In the park)

'Huussshhhh....' the September's wind is lingering around and leaves were following them as they were meant to be together.

'CLAP!' Maliah caught a leaf with her notebook. She opened her book cautiously and smile at Ryan, "Look! I got one. Hehehe!" she knuckled and brought to him.

"You're so happy with a leaf. You never grown up." he snorted and swayed his eyes as he care none. He lay on the ground and watched the leaves withering around. He was in calm state and it made him ease. He gasped out deep and closed his eyes for a nap.

(Ryan's dream)

The river was calm and still without a wave just flow steadily and beautiful red flowers were blooming on the shoreline. Grasses were greener and dance along the wind. The sky was clear blue as it was the most beautiful in the world but she saw a girl on the balcony. He focused on her out of curiosity but thrown a book of RED ROSES.

(In reality)

Ryan gasped out loud and blinked out his eyes. But again he was shocked with Maliah's face upside down on him. "What the hell are you looking at!" he grunted and pushed away her head.

"I thought that you have nightmare in the day, but you awake safe." she smiled with cheese and V hands.

"And you're enjoying it??" he rolled his eyes on her from the side. But Maliah's face was something familiar and related in his life rather than his friendship between them. He felt like they were met as adulthood. He watched her closely as Maliah is something precious and important task for him.

"What are you looking at? Is there anything wrong on my face?" She looked at him and put her hand into the bag. Her eyes were catch-up suspiciously with his and felt WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY FACE. She search the mirror without a single eyesight and messed up inside. Everything inside her bag was upside down. Lastly, she pulled the handy mirror but nothing were wrong with her. She gazed back at a second 'Are you mad? Why are you still looking at me?' the questions were puzzling inside her heads. She watched him closely and finalised by own inside her head 'OMG! Noway! Are you fallen on me?'
