Chapter 7

• Best Friend
• Song by Saweetie
• ……...
• "She didn't take her pills with her."
• "Ooh ok." A deep male voice replied to her.
• I heard voices in the background, I could only pinpoint Elle's voice, and the male, I do not know.
• "Why is she taking pills?." The male asked her. She only coughed lightly.
• "Ssh..are you trying to wake her up?." She asked.
• "Obviously you all are, " I muttered, not yet ready to open my eyes.
• "We're sorry!." They whispered together.
• "No use apologizing now.." I slowly opened my eyes and sat up. Elle stood with her hand akimbo, and then I looked at the male. My eyes grew wide when I saw him, "What in fuck sake are you doing here?." I yelled. My head ached at the way I shouted at him.
• I winced.
• "I thought you said you're her friend and you saved her." Nuelle said, sitting on the bed. I looked up at her, "Yes, he saved me but friends, I do not…"
• "Stop talking baby, " She cut me off. "I'll go make your favorite tea, hm." She added and left.
• I looked at him, "Are you stalking me?." I asked. He raises his brows.
• "I just saved you, beautiful. How could you ask that?." He asked. I rolled my eyes.
• "It's not that I'm not grateful. You're just everywhere I go, we met each other in some circumstances and you're always there to save me. What are you?, an angel?." I finished up with a question.
• He chuckled, "It's fate." He mumbled.
• "You said what?." I asked.
• He didn't say a word.
• There was silence.
• "You know it's not right for a lady to walk alone at night. You could have been hurt."
• "Are you scolding me?." I asked him, he scoffed. "Maybe, " He replied.
• "Are you a pervert?." I asked again.
• He looked amusedly at me. His perfectly combed hair packed at the back. He had his hand tucked into his pocket the entire time. Then a smirk cornered at the side of his lips and I looked away embarrassedly, knowing he must have thought I was checking him out. But why?. Why am I checking him out anyway?.
• "I'm not, pretty. Why do you ask that?." He asked. "Because you're obviously stalking me." I almost yelled but closed my eyes so I could calm down.
• He sat on the bed and I shifted, he picked my hands and kissed them. I loved how his lips felt on mine. He looked into my eyes and I ended up admiring that sapphire cold eyes, and then his luscious lips making me wanna grab him and kiss him.
• A cleared throat from the doorway made me remove my hand from his. I looked up at Elle with a tray in her hands. She walked towards the bed and dropped the tray on the bed. By then, the stranger had already stepped out of the bed.
• "I saw this in your bag." She showed me a red box wrapped around by a ribbon. I collected it from her and smiled. Had I stupidly forgotten the main reason why i was rushing home tonight?.
• "It's for you." I said and gave it back to her. She looked surprisedly at me. "Mine?." She asked and collected it. She slowly loosened the ribbon around it and opened the box.
• There it was, gem stone king blue sapphire and diamond pendant necklace.
• She gasped, "Aww...it's beautiful."
• I smiled. She picked it up and clung it to her neck, "I love it." She exclaimed and giggled.
• I dropped the mug back on the tray.
• I picked up her hands and rubbed my hands on her reassuringly. "I know I'm a bad friend. I've hurt you a lot, wouldn't tell you things as my best friend, I'm sorry."
• Tears were beginning to fall off her eyes, I wiped her tears away. "No, don't cry. It's fine. I'm sorry.." I mumbled.
• "No. It's not you. It's tears of joy. Do you know how horrible it was for me since that day, I felt bad, bad that I could utter such nonsense to you. I didn't think before speaking, I'm such an idiot.."
• "No. It's my fault…"
• "I know right?." She grinned and I laughed. "It's your fault. If you told me about the relationship you had with this young man here, those things wouldn't have happened." I raised my brows, what has he fed her with?. Just in a while, he already fed her with lies.
• "And I'm also sorry for blurting out about your parents like that. That was so stupid of me."
• "I led you into saying those things, I forgive you…" I said and hugged her. You do not know how much I've missed her, Nuelle has been the only family I have. Since my parents died in a hit and run accident, life has not been fair to me. I was up and running, sometimes my life would crumble and she was always there to fix it.
• This is the longest we've had quarrels and it was awkward.
• A noise from a beeped phone made me turn, we had already forgotten that we had a stranger standing in front of us.
• "I should go." He said. I looked at the time at the wall clock and gasped.
• 1:43am.
• "You should sleep over. We can't let you go home now." I shook my head negatively...and tried to detest but she climbed out of the bed. "I'll go get you a blanket." She said, carried the tray and exited the bedroom.
• I glared at him and he smirked. "You sure know how to fix yourself where you don't belong." He shrugged.
• "Alright. You'll sleep on the floor over there.." He looked at the floor and then at me with an 'are you serious look?'.
• I raised my brows.
• "What?. Don't you like it?." I asked.
• "It's fine. I love it." He said with a small laugh, a fake laugh. I rolled my eyes and laid down, my head facing the ceiling.
• Elle comes back in with a big blanket. She sprayed it on the floor and looked at him, "You'll sleep here, Kat won't allow you on her bed and I won't also want you in my bedroom. Just a few hours, you'll be out of here."
• I chuckled.
• "Okay, goodnight." She said and put off the light.
• While everywhere went dark. I could only hear the noise of his footsteps down the bed. I laughed quietly.
• A billionaire who has a very big mansion and can afford many beds as much as he wants, sleeping on the floor of my bedroom.
• I burst out laughing but this time louder...
• "Haha, haha, it's not funny." He said sarcastically.
