Kit's POV
What the heck?!
I saw him fell on the floor when I opened my door. Did he really stay out when I told him to? No, he wasn't that foolish.
"Why the hell are you sleeping outside my room, Ming? " I said slowly.
I helped him up. "It's cold here, " I scolded him.
"You told me to stay here so I did, " he retorted.
"If I told you to jump off from a rooftop of a building, would you? "
"If it'll make you happy, yes. "
Yeah, there he goes. He just proved me otherwise.
Why do I like this guy again?
I bit my lower lip to prevent any harsh words from escaping my mouth.
"Go home, " I said coldly.
"Where are you going?" he ignored my question.
"Going to grab some food, " I looked at him. "Have you eaten? " before I could stop myself I asked.
"No, " he put his hand on his stomach.
"Then go home and eat, " I told him coldly.
"Nah, " he shook his head.
He looked tired and hungry and earlier he looked like he had waited for a long time.
"Kit, I waited for you here since five o'clock. " he made it sound like he was begging.
"Who told you to? " I checked my watch. It was almost midnight.
"I want to, "
I glowered at him. I handed him my room key.
"Get inside and wait for me, "
"Where are you going? " he asked.
"Stop asking and just do as I say like you did earlier. " I said.
"Yes, my wife. Don't be out for long I will miss you. " he blew a flying kiss.
"Miss my ass, you have Prae to play around." I whispered and left.
I've been keeping myself from asking about Prae because I don't want to give him silly ideas. I went out to buy us food. I planned to feed him then kick him out after. I can't just send him away with an empty stomach.
Really? A voice inside me.
I ignored it. I went to the nearby convenience store. I didn't know what he liked so I just bought a lot of what I'd like to eat. I returned home at once. When I arrived, I saw him leaning his back on the sofa eyes closed. He seemed really tired.
"Is that you Kitty? " with his eyes closed he whispered, he sounded like he was in pain.
"You okay? " I asked. My heart ached seeing him. I went closer and touched his forehead.
I was astounded when he suddenly pulled me beside him and wrapped his arms around me. I tried to break free but he was stronger so I gave up after trying for a moment. I can feel him breathing in my ears.
"I am not, " there was a tingling sensation to have him this close.
We stayed like it for a long time. There was a long silence but it wasn't awkward. It made me more at ease.
"Who was that guy with you earlier? " he asked sternly, it broke the silence.
"A friend, "
"I believe this 'friend' has a name? "
"Why do you have to know? " he didn't recognize Ice from afar.
"So I can put him on my watchlist," he answered quickly.
"You aren't going to do anything stupid, are you? " I asked. I pushed him hardly to break free from his hug which I successfully done.
I glowered at him.
"Are you trying to protect him? " there was anger in his tone.
"I just don't want to cause the person any trouble, "
"So you're protecting him. " he assumed.
"And If I do? " I challenged him. I raised my brow.
"Then the more I need to know his name. " he said with finality.
"The more that I don't want to tell you. "
"Was that Ice? " his voiced out.
I looked at him. "You don't need to know. "
"So that was Ice, " he sounded certain about his speculation.
"What the hell, Ming? " I was so furious.
"I am very selfish, I don't share what's mine Kitty. " he said in a serious tone.
"I. Am. Not. Yours, " I told him and paused to every word to remind him.
"Yet, " he said with a playful smile. "And I am planning to change that. "
It made feel good. I sighed sharply to cover it up. It's difficult to win in a conversation with this guy. I stood up and got the food I bought.
"I didn't know what you like so I just bought whatever was there. "
He was silent. He appeared to be bothered.
"Kitty, " he said in a soft tone. "I need to ask you something, " he said.
I handed him the bag of food.
"About what? " curiously I asked.
"I have a friend, she is someone I could count on all the time. " he started.
My heart felt like it was being squeezed hard. "Go on, "
I didn't like the idea that he was relying to someone. I want it to be just me, me alone.
"She just confessed to me but I don't feel the same way. " he said sadly.
"And, " though it was breaking me inside, I had to show him I was okay with it.
"I don't want to hurt her, " there was a pain in his voice.
"Why can't you like her back? " It was a two-edged sword question.
I was afraid to hear his answer but at the same time I needed to know.
He looked at me. "Do you really need to ask that? "
Safe answer. I thought.
"If she's just any other girl, it would be easy but she's someone important. " he appeared to be really helpless.
How can you claim to like me when you have someone important in your heart? This was to much to bear.
I couldn't take this anymore.
"What should I do? " he inquired.
"Follow what your heart says, " I told him.
I didn't want to give him ideas that would surely hurt me.
"What do you think my heart will say about this? "
I shrugged to show him I didn't give a damn. "Ask it, "
"That's why I am asking you," he said persistently.
"I am not your heart. "
"But you're most of it. You own it. " he said affectionately.
