Let's Talk

"Are you really okay?" He sounds worried while patting my back. I respond with a nod then tries to stand up but my legs are still shaking. I fear my father very much, I've experienced multiple hits from him and that made me feel traumatized to his presence.

"I'll go get some water," He offers.

"No, I'll get it," Jess stands up and went to the kitchen. When my father left, they came. They are very sorry to me and they thinks they're useless 'cause they didn't get to save me. Gia was silently crying on the edge of the sofa, she feels guilty for texting me. She believes that if she didn't tell me about it, I wouldn't rush to go here and meet my father.

"Can we talk?" Noah asks. His face are half pale and the other half is unknown.

"About what?" I asked.

"About you," He says instantly. Now I'm guessing, he's gonna ask me why my father did that to me.

"What do you wanna know?"

"I wanna know everything about you and how you end up on my shop," He grabs the water from Jess and offer it to me. "Thanks," He says.

"Why suddenly?" I took it and drink. I don't know why he suddenly wants to know me, and he says 'everything' about me that's why nothing pops up on my mind. It's kind of blank.

"Do I need to have a reason to know you?" He doesn't sound sarcastic but I I'm still guessing what's on his mind.

He sat in front of me then turn to face me, now he's looking deeply into my eyes like he's studying every reactions of my face. He seems very serious while his eyes are darkened, arms are crossed and his eye brows are converging. I want to interrupt him but I suddenly thought that he might be annoyed so I decided not to.

"Before I answer your question, I want you to answer mine first." I smirked.

"Alright, then.. What's your question?" He seems intimidated and I just responded with a smile.

"Why are you here? Didn't you want to kick me out of your house earlier?" I raised my brow, trying to wait his answer.

"Oh, about that.." He pats his head like he's trying to get an answer there. I'm amused on how he still looks cute on that situation.

"You left this," He handed me my handkerchief. My eyes widen and grabbed it. His name was written on it, I hope he didn't saw it. "Then I heard you shouting so I rushed to get the duplicate of your loft from the staff here and I saw you..getting hit..by your father.." I see hesitation from his eyes but I chose to ignore it.

"You didn't see..what's written here, right?" I suddenly felt anxious. I'm uncertainly sure about this. I think he saw it, I'm certain he saw it.

I want to nag at him for reading it. And now, his face were expressionless, I wanna know what's on his mind. Maybe now he's thinking if I really have feelings for him. Of course whoever see it, they might think that the person who has their name on their handkerchief obviously likes them. I'm doomed, yes. He might avoid me soon.

"Is there something written on it that I shouldn't see?" And now he seems innocent. I don't know if its true that he had no idea about it or not. I need to figure out.

I crossed my arms and stare at him, "You didn't see it?" I confirm.

"See, what?" He still looks innocent so I decided to believe him.

Once he starts to bring it, I'll kick his ass then I'll break his bones until he can't ever walk or speak anymore. Okay, I'm exaggerating again, as if I can do that to him. I like him so much.

"I'm really sorry, Raine.." Gia starts to cry again, tears streaming down her face and I can't help but to go to her and hug her. It's not her fault, she didn't do anything wrong and I want her to know that. My heart is broken for seeing her like this.

"Shhhhh.. It's not your fault, no one wants this.." I pat her back, tryna' comfort her.

"But you got hurt.. huhuhu.." She cries again.

"I'm fine, look at me. I'm okay right?" I smiled for her to stop. I easily get annoyed when someone repeats nagging at me.

"Still, you got hurt. I made you like that,"

"It's not your fault Gia, you and I went together. If its your fault then its my fault also." Jess voice soften.

"But you're not the one who texted her," she cries again. Now I'm totally annoyed.

"You want me to get mad at you totally?" Her tears suddenly stops to go down. She probably trying her best to control it, I know Gia. She doesn't want me to get mad because she knows what will happen.

"Sorry," She looks down while sobbing. I feel guilty for her telling her that but at the same time, I feel satisfied. You know, I really don't like to repeat my self for how many times and hear some nagging from people, even it's close to me or just someone I know. When I say, its okay. I want them to understand and accept it.

I walk towards her and hug her again, "It's okay. Just believe me when I say I'm fine, I'm fine okay?" I politely says and I pulled to see her respond. She smiles and answered it with a nod.

"I also want to apologies for lying about to police earlier," Noah speaks then walk towards me.

"That's okay, you did the right thing. Wanna thank you for that," I smiled.

"We're gonna go outside so you two can talk," Jess speaks as they're now standing at the entrance of the door.

"No, we're cool. We don't have anything to talk about," I looked at Noah and silently praying that he would really want to spend time with me.

"Yeah, she's right. But I want to know more about her, so would you mind if I spend time with her?" He grinned and my two supportive friends smiles widely while nodding like a freakin' idiots.

"SURE!" They both said then closes the door.

When they're already gone, my eyes glued from the door. I felt suffocated now that I'm with him alone in my apartment. I feel like strained and shakier right now, I noticed that he's not also talking so I gently turn my gaze on him and suddenly shocked when I saw him looking at me intensely. Oh girl, this is awkward.
