The Midnight Lover

Chapter 7: Teddy Bear guy

Selina's POV

I can't give Bella a definite answer.

We went back to the cafe, but it was clear that the relaxed atmosphere was gone. She saw that I was silent, so she did not continue to ask the question just now. We move on to another easier topic.

"So you don't want to get to know anyone else right now? Remember the last party? There was a very hot third-year guy asking me for your phone number."

I shook my head at her. This is not the first time I have received invitations to meet. Although I don't have many friends like Bella, I am introverted and don't like to be in public places. But somehow I'm still famous throughout the school because of a photo from my military training. I don't know who took and posted that picture, but by the time I learned of its existence, my reputation had already spread throughout the school. I'm mixed Asian, while some racists don't like me, there are a lot of people who love my oriental beauty.

I didn't like the attention, so I later contacted the poster to delete the post, but by the time I found out, it was too late, even deleting the post wouldn't solve anything. There were a lot of people paying attention to me, then a series of other sneaky photos came out, I couldn't control it. I had to let it go. Then I never knew when I was known by the nickname "Eastern doll". It has caused me unnecessary trouble, one of which is annoying stalkers.

"You refuse to help me. I'm not interested in anyone."

Bella nodded as if she understood. Of course, with the sketchy story I just told her earlier, at least she knew that I had a man I liked, and that I considered myself a loyal person, before I stopped loving my ex, I wouldn't meet new people.

Actually, I don't understand why so many guys chase me but I still don't get moved. I've always felt that they are shallow people who only look at their looks. They don't understand who I am and I don't want to share that with anyone. I like my solitary life, I don't need someone to come in my quiet life and mess things up. I don't even like being emotionally dependent on someone, it makes me feel vulnerable and I hate that.

In addition, I also know the purpose of those guys when approaching me. Simply put, they just wanted to flirt with me and get into bed with me. Honestly, I don't think my boring and introverted personality can attract someone and make them stay for me. Therefore, I feel that meetings are just a waste of time if I know their results early. I don't want a quick relationship so that I can get hurt and can't go back to my previous single life.

To avoid Bella's continued interest in my personal love affairs, I changed the subject of her love relationships.

"What about you? Is that stupid Teddy Bear guy not following you?"

Referring to this person, Bella immediately sighed in frustration. She rested her hand on her chin, her face contorted in displeasure.

"I have to say! He's tougher than a leech, he won't give up no matter what. Having said that he's not your type of man, even if the men in this world become extinct, I still don't like him. Yet, stalking me all day, it's unbearable."

I couldn't help but laugh at Bella's cute nagging. I know for sure the answer will be yes because she has told me a thousand times. Bella has won hundreds of s*x games with boys, but now she has met the match of her life.

I also have to admire this guy's perseverance. Adam Heard is a guy two years younger than us, to be honest, he's handsome, too tall, has a strong build. The important thing is that he is not much different from Bella, they are all school bullies, so fighting is never boring. There was a time when Adam and Bella's guild encountered each other, for some reason, after having a good fight, that guy suddenly wanted to pursue Bella. Unfortunately, he's not her type. Bella likes funny polite boys, wearing rolex watches, glued hair, leather shoes, not rude men who smell like sweat. Yeah, it's manly too, but it has nothing to do with her.

Adam has been pursuing Bella for three months, but his flirting tricks are old, and the first time he gives her a gift, he gives her a big Teddy bear. Bella but the type of girl who likes that sort of thing? Moreover, he still wants to fight with her all day to decide whether to win or lose, who can enjoy it? Unfortunately, she beat him but refused outright, he didn't know how many times, he still stuck and didn't forgive. I'm a spectator and I'm tired too.

"So you're not going to be in a serious relationship? Isn't it boring to change boyfriends every fortnight?"

Bella rolled her eyes at me, like I just said something too funny. She replied while eating a piece of chocolate cake.

"How can you be bored? It's boring to love someone forever. But who told you I'm not in a serious relationship? This Bella loves everyone very seriously, it's just that love is not durable, so I have to let go just each other?"

That is the argument of the flower diggers. They are really emotional, not necessarily promiscuous, just don't like it for a long time. I sighed, suddenly thinking about my own business, why can't I be so definitive?

I'm a big fan of Bella's uncompromising personality. I want to be a cool and dignified girl like her. If only I could have had the courage to cut an unhealthy relationship, if I did, I wouldn't have to feel pain or hurt now.

I've been thinking about the future without Yami, but I definitely can't stand it, so I'd rather keep the relationship as it is now.

"Forget about that Teddy bear. I have something more important to tell you."

I saw Bella shrink her smile, looking a little worried. She rarely makes this expression, when it does appear it is usually something important.

"Yeah, tell me, what's up?"

Bella frowned, her tone also somewhat serious.

"The case of the mad killer who killed three girls, it's been on the security news for a month now. I saw that the killer who specializes in targeting young girls was alone, so I was very worried. Or I move in with you until the killer is caught, then I move out."

This dangerous case of course I know, I also read the newspaper and watch the news a lot about it. Just like last night when Yami came, when the door rang I was very scared, I understand it's not safe for a weak young girl like me to be alone, but I can't bother Bella. Partly because she loves the nightlife, every day she has to go to bars and clubs until three in the morning, and then spend the night with handsome guys. The rest was because I had Yami visit every night, I couldn't let her stay if Yami hadn't agreed to make his existence public.

"I know you're worried about me. But there's no need to move in. Yami stays with me every night, and if anything happens, he'll protect me."

As soon as Bella heard my answer, she immediately became enthusiastic. She attacked me with consecutive questions that overwhelmed me.

"Did he come looking for you at night? So did you sleep with him?"

Although I was a little confused by this blunt question, I knew Bella didn't mean it badly, she always spoke so directly. I hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Really? What the hell? Are you still the Selina I know?"

Bella was quite shocked. She knows that I am a conservative girl, maybe because my mother is Asian, I inherited her personality, I attach great importance to virginity, I said before that I will not arbitrarily go to bed. with strangers, but now I have broken that rule.

I also find it difficult to understand myself. From the first time I met, I was captivated by Yami. There was a strange familiar feeling on his body that made me want to get close. I broke it off. give up the principle I've been holding on for so long, even in a split second, even though I don't know anything about Yami except his name.

"How long have you known him? Is he really trustworthy?"

Bella frowned at me. I don't want to lie to her either.

"We've known each other for two months. I trust he won't harm me."

"Only two months? In such a short time you can trust him? What if he's a fraud, or even... So what?"

I pouted at my best friend's words.

"What? You always break up with your boyfriend after only half a month of knowing each other, but you say two months is a short time to know someone? "

Bella shook her head.

"How can they be the same? I can punch people like that in the mouth, but you're not. You're so weak, what if something happens? You're still alone! No, I have to come stay with you or you have to let me see that person once, or I can't rest assured."

I grimace. I cannot refuse her. Bella has a very important place for me, I don't want her to be sad or disappointed because of me.

"I can't agree with you right away. I'll consult Yami, if he agrees then you can meet, okay?"

Bella didn't look very pleased, but eventually she nodded.

"Okay. I'll wait to hear from you, but it can't be more than three days, or I'll bring my suitcase to your house without consulting anyone!"

I nodded repeatedly, I'm glad to have a friend who always worries about me like that. Although I love Yami, I also love her.

"Thank you, Bella."
