5 Follow Me

I hung around the mall thinking what can I do to clear the misunderstanding and at the mean time was trying to look for Joelle. I feel at lost, it feels like I'm over reacting a little when it comes to Joelle. Yes, she caught my attention but that's all to it right? Many girls caught my attention but why am I so concerned? I walked passed a bookstore and an idea popped into my mind, 'I shall look for a book and figure out how'.

I walked into the bookstore and walked a few shelf. I do not know how to search for a book!! Should I ask the worker? But I don't even know what book am I looking for. Forget it, just do it my way. I turned around and going to the exit but a girl caught my eyes.

"Found ya." I walked towards the girl and whispered into her ears. "What are you doing?"

"Josh!" Joelle looked at me in surprised

"It's Jon..." Are you for real? She don't even remember my name?

"There.. is someone who has been following me. I'm scared to go out."

"Stalker? Again?" I saw from a far there's a guy who is very suspicious. "Where's Chris?"

"He went home. We parted and I started to feel someone following me."

"Alright, follow me and do as I say."

I grabbed her hand and had her hand cling onto my arm. We left the bookstore and the guy followed. The guy is a middle aged guy dressed in suit. What a closet beast. We walked into the arcade, the place I'm most familiar with.

"What are we doing here?!" Joelle yelled softly at me.

"I'm most familiar here. Besides..." I leaned close to her ears and whispered, "I'm here, I will protect you. He will not be able to hurt you." I could see her face turning a little pinkish. I smiled, this made me more motivated to protect her.

I took my arcade card out to top up some money and went to play on some games while keeping a close lookout for the stalker. After 20 minutes he's still waiting at a corner of the arcade pretending to look at people playing games. It's time for Plan B. I pulled Joelle into a photo box.

"What are we...?!" Joelle's mouth was closed by my hand

"Shh, the stalker is outside. Just do as I said alright?" I whispered softly. She nodded her head. "Alright, later I'm going to move my head in front of you to block the camera. I'm going to take pictures and it will look like we're making out alright? The photo will print and the stalker should be able to see it. If the plan works, he will go away. If he doesn't, I'll do something about it."

I tapped my arcade card on the machine to activate. I moved my head in front of the camera and then moved my face close to her face. Joelle looked away with her face slightly flushed. I can feel her breath getting a little heavier. Judging from her expression, she is not used to this kind of stuff, unlike the girlfriends I've had.

I moved away as I hear footsteps coming close and going away. I took a look outside and saw the stalker walking away. I grabbed the photos we took and had a good look at it. It really looks like we are kissing, wonder if it's possible. I looked at Joelle still slightly flushed face, she's precious to me and I don't dare to hurt her. I sat next to her and smiled,

"See, I told you I will protect you."
