May's POV (Elena)
A week had passed, and Chase had done nothing but irritate me. Even though I was in the hospital to recuperate advised by the doctor, I definitely did not enjoy a restful week. Yummie, on the other hand, is all in for Chase. Tsk.
"Come on, just agree already, I don't want you to get tired," Chase whined as he tailed me like a pathetic dog.
I attempted to push him away. I'd rather take a taxi than be stuck in his car with him. I'm pretty sure he'd just annoy the hell out of me with his stupid out-of-date pick-up lines. It's annoying how he can't take a no as an answer. He definitely is a spoiled casanova, tsk.
"So you don't want to listen, I see... I know how to get you to listen," Chase chuckled and took me by surprise when he suddenly carried me like a newlywed.
My eyes widened and tried to escape but he is too strong and a victorious smile was plastered on his face when I gave him a glare.
"Urgh! Let go, you stupid Chase!" I shouted still struggling to escape.
"Try to move again and I'll kiss you," he said before evilly smiling. His smile definitely sends cold shivers through my skin. "Not in the cheeks or forehead."
Urgh, I know he is damn serious. Tss, get yourself prepared, Rodriguez... the moment I escape. I'll definitely kill you, you stupid jerk!
"You've been staring straight at my face for a while. Have you finally realized my charms? Don't worry, I don't find it rude. I actually find this much better. Fall deeper to me, May." He triumphantly smiled. "You can even take a picture if you like. "
He's a classic narcissist! I scowled at him, but he didn't even flinch, so I rolled my eyes. Yummie was squealing behind us like some nosy fanatic. I flashed her a deathly glare, but she only smiled teasingly back. These two are fearless. They are both a total psycho— a nutcase!
"All right, Chase, you look after my best friend..." Yummie cheerfully remarked, looking at her digital watch. "Since I have to go to work, I don't want to be late on Mondays! Our new manager is really strict! I don't want to get eaten alive!"
Urgh, this is the nth time she left me with this stupid annoying jerk! And I am so not buying her excuses.
"Here we go," Chase went on to note dramatically, "you seem to enjoy staring at me, ha."
I felt my cheeks warm. That was humiliating. I quickly averted my look. Tsk, I wasn't staring at all. I was just spacing out. Tsk. He buckled my seatbelt and came to a halt, staring at me. Is he challenging me for a staring contest? Challenge accepted then. I'm not going to lose.
"I hope you can just be Barney," he added unexpectedly.
My brows furrowed at his senseless statement. What the hell is going on with this guy?! And how did he get to know Barney? That violet dinosaur is designed for children! He is definitely a moron.
"Are you comparing me to an ugly violet dinosaur?" I angrily said with my gritted teeth.
He gave me a charming smile which is honestly not charming. He just looks stupider.
"So, that... I love you, you love me," he snickered while covering his face.
Urgh, he is just so. I am getting the secondhand embarrassment for him! He really loves to annoy me, doesn't he? Can't he just disappear?! After a minute, he took his hand away from his face and returned his gaze to mine. When are we leaving? He gulped as his eyes traveled to my lips. His face came closer. My eyes widened, what the eff is he trying to do?!
"W-what are you trying to do?!" I stuttered, trying to sound mad.
Why am I feeling awkward with his face so near to mine? Our lips were inches away when I suddenly pushed him hard and deter my eyes in another direction.
"Your face was hilarious!" He suddenly burst out laughing.
My wrath was boiling, so I decided to punch him straight in the face in the heat of the moment. Why is he making me look stupid? I am not some ignorant woman who swoons over him just because he has the looks! Before he could react, I jumped out of his car and slammed the door shut.
"Stupid jerk!" I angrily shouted before calling for a cab.
He instantly followed, but I confronted him and kicked him roughly in the place where it hurts the most. I even heard him yell my name while he was still whimpering in agonizing pain. That'll teach you a lesson! Serves you right! Tss. I was still enraged when I arrived back home and noticed someone waiting in my doorway.
I muttered to myself, "Elena?"
When she looked at me, I immediately saw her puffy swollen reddish eyes She dashed up to me and hugged me tightly. Whoa. When did we get so close? What exactly is she doing here?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she repeatedly apologizes.
What's the deal with her? She let go of her grip and looked straight at me. Her eyes welled up with tears. Even with her haggard complexion, she still looks stunning.
"Promise, I'll bring things back to normal. Forgive me. I'm sorry," she said before walking away and giving me another strong hug.
Wait. What just happened? I was left dumbfounded staring at the space when I suddenly heard Chase calling me so I hurried into my apartment.
"Open the door, May," he urged, but I simply walked away from the door and went to my closet to change into my pajamas.
I was gone for a week. I'm quite certain I have a lot to do, and instead of getting swept away by Chase's presence, I should focus solely on my work. After an hour, I was finally done reviewing my unfinished documents. I peered at the distance... I'm sure Chase has left.
I checked the time and it has been four hours. I'll just go ahead and have some milk from a nearby convenience store. I stepped out with my keys and wallet. My eyes widened as I walked out.
"What the hell are you STILL doing here?!" I hysterically asked emphasizing the word still.
He simply smiled at me, a sneaky grin on his face. "I knew you were going to come out. Where are you going?"
"To the convinience store... stalker." I shooed him away. "Get out of the way. I'm starving."
"I knew it. You haven't eaten anything yet because you've been working, right?" He asked, his voice clearly frustrated.
I rolled my eyes at him and flicked my hair. So what if I have to work? This is my life. I was about to walk away when he grabbed my hands and dragged me to his car.
"What the hell Chase?!" I shouted at him.
He just shrugged and fastened the seatbelt then started the engine of the car and drove away. I noticed that this isn't the way to the convenience store.
"What are you scheming you jerk?!" I angrily said through my gritted teeth
He simply grinned at me and turned to face the road. Gosh, how vexing. I reached for the steering wheel, but he grabbed my hand and handcuffed me. What the hell is going on?!
"My grandpa was once a police officer," he informed not looking at me. Well, I already know that but what he's doing is against the law! He is practically kidnapping me now! "You better behave yourself."
He parked the car and hooked the left handcuff on the handle of the car.
"There you go. Now, you can't escape," he smiled triumphantly.
I shot him a deathly glare but he just smiled at me. What's wrong with this guy?!
"What are you plotting you stupid jerk?!" I shouted still trying to compose myself.
He is the only person that effortlessly shows this side of me. I am always composed and calm pero iba pag siya ang kaharap ko. Urgh, stupid annoying jerk. Maybe because he reminded me so much of myself but he chose to try to run away from it. We are both... cowards
"We are going on a date," he declared.
Wait, what?!
