Chapter 5 - He’s Not Rude At All?

Kaede's POV

Hmm!

I tried to open my eyes, but I immediately closed them again because of the sun's rays directed towards my eyes.

Did I forget to close the curtains of my window last night? The rays of the sun were blinding me. Goodness! I tried to turn to the other side of the bed with my eyes still close.

Hmm. I could smell something good. Something delicious. Bacon... fried rice...and, I halted my mind as my forehead started to creased when I realize something.

Who was cooking inside my apartment?!

I immediately rose from the bed with my eyes widely open.

I was greeted with black walls all over except, of course, the window where the sun was peeking inside the room.

Everything was black! Even the small table on the bedside was black, as well as the closet!

What happened to my room? Why it became black? I didn't remember painting my room black.

I scanned the whole room.

Oh my God!!

This was not my room at all! I couldn’t see any similarity that this was my room! This was entirely a man’s room!

What was I doing in a man’s room and I was in his bed!!

My mind was still in chaos when I saw something black on the side of the bed. My curiosity kicked in. I tried to reach it with my hand and grabbed it, not realizing it was a black boxer.

My eyes instantly widen upon the realization as I throw it right away. My cheeks burned because of embarrassment.

I tried to peek inside the blanket that was covering me and saw that I was still wearing what I wore yesterday.

"Ahhhhhhh!” I shouted when everything sinked into me.

"Hey! You're so noisy! Good thing that you're already awake!" The guy who entered the room said annoyingly.

My eyes became wide again as I saw him. He was the one who holdup me! The one who stole my last money!

"You're the hold-upper!" I shouted at him. He just raised his right brow and put his two hands on his waist while standing in front of me.

My eyes move from his face down to his chest. I gulped upon seeing him and then couldn't help but scanned his bare body. What a body! And he got a tattoo on his right shoulder going down to his arms. His muscles were even showing and... Holy cow! He got abs! Six freaking abs!

Ahhh! My innocent eyes! I shut my eyes instantly when I got back to my sense.

"Can you wear a shirt?" I said as I used both hands to cover my eyes.

"Is it your first time seeing a guy naked?" he asked while his brows furrowed. "You're lucky you saw me half-naked,” he added. I could hear his footsteps and the sound of a door being open.

It was not like I'm being overreacting. It's just that, yes, it was my first time seeing a guy naked in front of me. I didn't even saw ---

Ughh!! Stop thinking about him, Kaede! You should move on and forget about him already. It's been two years, for Pete's sake!

"You can open your eyes now. Tsk, ” he said with a bored tone that brought me back to my reverie.

"Why am I here in your room? Did you do something to me last night? " I said as I crossed my arms to my chest.

He just looked at me as if telling me I was saying something crazy.

"You act like you're drunk where in fact, you're not. You can't remember everything last night?" he said, smirking, which made me nervous.

"Wahhhh! You took advantage of me!" I shouted as I threw each pillow that I grab towards him.

He didn't dodge the pillow. He just let me do what I am doing, and he just stood there laughing because of my reaction. His laughter filled the room, which was really good to hear. Goodness! His laugh is so sexy!

I shake my head at that thought. I'm pissed! He found my reaction very comical! He was laughing at me!

"You're so funny. Tried to look at yourself in the mirror. If you think that I am interested in you. Well, you wish!" he said with disgust." Get up on my bed and go home. You're such a nuisance, ” he continued authoritatively.

I was so embarrassed for thinking that he would take advantage of me when I'm dressed up like a nerd.

Huh! You will regret telling me that if you will saw the real me.

"You're so mean. I know I'm ugly. You don't have to brag it on my face."

I tried to remember what happened last night.

Ahhh!! I slap my forehead as I remembered everything last night.

Goodness Kaede! Did you really sleep on his back while riding on his motorbike? You're lucky you didn't fall.

"Sorry," I mumble as I tucked some fallen strands of my hair on the back of my ear. "I'm so tired last night because I extended my shift at work to cover someone, maybe that's why I didn't notice that I already fall asleep in your back. I apologize for my behavior, and thanks for taking care of me, ” I said with a low voice because of shame.

Who's not going to be ashamed of what I've done? I even accused him of doing something terrible to me; well, in fact, I should be thankful because he didn't leave me last night. He could just have left me on the road sleeping, but he didn't. Instead, he took me with him and let me sleep in his room.

You're still lucky, Kaede!

"Good thing that you remember everything. You don't need to explain. I don't really care.”

"No! It's just that—" He cut me off with a scoff.

"I told you, I don't fcking care! So if I were you, you get up there on my bed, go to the bathroom and wash your ugly face. You're freaking drooling, ” he said while looking at me with disgust.

Drool? Fudge!

My hands automatically wipe the side of my lips.

"There's no— wow! Nice talking, ” I said with a grimace as I look at the door seeing with no one.

Did he leave while I'm still talking? Tsk! He really got an attitude.

I got up and went directly to the bathroom. Hmm. A virile scent. I could smell his aftershave here. I scanned the whole bathroom and couldn’t help but be surprised because it was so clean. I locked the door as I walked inside to face the mirror.

Fudge! My eyes became wide as I saw my reflection. Now I know why he called me ugly. Because I was literally so ugly right now, is this really me? My hair! Goodness! It looked like a bird's nest! My painted thick brows were deformed, and my eyes were like the pandas. My eye-bags were so visible. I just sigh and fixed myself. I washed my face and unchanged my hair to comb it and made another perfect bun again this time.

When I was done, I walked out of the bathroom going back to his room, and tried to find my glasses. I scanned the room again and saw it on the side table. I took it and put the glasses on as I walked out of his room.

As I walked out, I saw him in the kitchen. He was sitting on one of the chairs of a four-seater dining table that was black.

"So you're done fixing yourself? There's nothing difference, though,” he spatted, implying that I was still looking ugly. "You can eat before you go home. You might say that I'm heartless for not letting you eat, ” he said with a monotone voice.

"Thank you." I smile as I thanked him. He might be harsh, but he was kind of good a bit.

I sat on the chair in front of him and looked at the table. There was a plate of bacon, scrambled egg, and fried rice. I'm drooling already.

"You're not taking off your glasses even if you're sleeping? It fell off, so I took it and put it on the side table. I guess you saw it because you're using it right now, ” he said while his brows furrowed and then drinked his water. "And also your hair. It's still in a bun. Though it's not messy like a while ago, still, you look like an old maid, ” he added with detest as he put the bacon in his mouth.

"Huh? Ahh yeah. Just don't mind my style. I'm used to this get-up, ” I said nervously. Why am I even nervous? Seriously.

And what did he just say? I look like an old maid? I grimaced as I realize what he said afterward. I change my mind. He's not good at all! Not a bit!

I looked at him and saw his forehead creased.

"Who told you that I care about your looks? Tsk!" he snickered

See? He was so grumpy!

"Did you cook all of this?" I asked as I point at the food.

"State the obvious, ” he said while looking at me with a face saying that I'm asking a stupid question. That I was stupid.

I just didn't mind it. I didn’t want another humiliation coming from his mouth.

"State the obvious. Yep. Yep. I got it. It tastes good, ” I said, smiling a bit.

"I know. Can you just eat quickly so that you can leave already? You're feeling at home, ” he said with a grimace.

Was I feeling at home? He was so transparent that he wanted me out already. I just ate a little. I was not even full yet. I sigh.

"Okay! You're so eager to toss me out. What if I choke?"

"Then drink. What's the freaking use of water? " he said with annoyance.

"So heartless," I murmured while I continued eating.

"So I am heartless now? I let you sleep on my bed. I even let you eat the food that I cook. And now you're saying I'm heart—"

"Okay! I got it! I'm done eating. I'm leaving, okay?" I cut off his rant and then stood up from my seat.

"Good!" he said, and then he continued eating.

Goodness! His freaking mouth was like the chicken’s butt. And also like a machine gun.

Ugh! I only ate three spoonfuls of his cooking and still wanted to eat more, but unluckily, the heartless guy in front of me was so eager to toss me out. I didn’t have a choice. This was not my house.

I walked towards the door and opened it. I halted a bit and faked a cough to get his attention.

He looked at me bored, as if he was waiting for me to close the door and leave.

"Ahhm. Thanks again and sorry for the inconvenience. Bye, ” I said and then closed the door right away. But before the door closes, he stated. "Now we're even." That's the last thing that I hear as the door shut on my face.

"We're even? " My forehead creased of his remark. In what part that he meant that we were even? I didn’t get it.

I just shrugged it off and left.

- Karluk University-

I arrived at Karluk University on time. Good thing that my class today was at ten in the morning because if not, I would be late for my class.

It was nine in the morning when I left the pad of the heartless guy. Ughh! It was embarrassing. I even slept there! He was a stranger, and he hold-me up yesterday! Jeez!

" Hey! Kae, what are you thinking?" Gin, who just arrived, said.

"Hi Gin. It's nothing. I'm just meditating, ” I said with a chuckle as I faced him.

"OH’s? Meditate your face!" he said, laughing and then sat on my desk.

"Yes, I am. Can you sit properly?" I scolded him.

"Okay! As you say so," he replied and then sat on the chair beside me.

"Why are you sitting there? Your seat is at the back. Have mercy to those who are sitting on your back right now, ” I said as I looked at him while I raised my left brow.

"Is it my fault that I'm tall? It's their fault because they're short. I want to sit beside you. Just don't mind them," he said while pouting.

Seriously? Why did he look so cute when he pouts like that? Tsk! And was it my fault that I'm not tall because I'm sitting in the front?

“So are you saying that it is our fault that we're not tall like you? Okay! I concede, you’re really tall for your age. Now I feel ashamed of my height, ” I said pouting. Well, he was really tall. I think Gin was almost six-footers? I guess he was.

"Of course, you're exempted. You're not short like them. Your height is just accurate for you, ” he defended himself that made me chuckle a bit.

"Whatever, Gin. You're crazy. Addict!" I said while shaking my head.

"Yep! I'm addicted to you," he said with a wink.

Here he goes again with his pickup lines. It's not even affecting me. I'm immune to his charms.

"Pttf. Stop it, ” I said with a laugh. “I'm not one of your girls Gin. You can't dupe me. I know everything about you, from your intestine down to your gizzard, Gin baby.” Still laughing as I tease him

" Ouch! That hurt a lot, Kae, ” he said, putting his hand on his chest and acting as if he was hurting.

"Yep! " I said and poke his head. " You're overreacting."

"Ouch! Now my head is also hurting too, ” he continued as he touched his head.

"Good morning class!” My eyes moved towards the front when our professor greeted us upon his arrival.

"Hey! Prof Len is already here. Stop your overreacting scene and go back to your seat now," I said as I ordered him to move out from the chair beside me.

"Hmmp! You're always like that. You always take me for granted," he said, sulking.

"Ugh! You're difficult! I don't know what are you saying. You're like a gay, ” I said as I rolled my eyes at him.

"Class were going to bake a cake as one of your tasks. You can bake any cake you wanted and this will be by pair. You can choose your partner, ” our professor said

"Kae, baby! Let me be your partner, ” Gin said with puppy eyes.

"I-don’t-want-to! I know. In the end, I'll be the one doing everything! You’re so lucky!" I said declining his offer.

"Wahhh! You're being difficult! You're making me sad. Please! Be my partner and I'll shoulder all the expenses, ” he begged while putting his hands together as if he was praying. He was being funny and at the same time he looked cute.

"Deal!" I agree right away. "That's what I like about you, Gin baby. If you are always like that, I will always be your partner in baking. Even if you will not help me bake as long as you pay everything, we're good, ” I said, grinning while tapping his shoulder.

"You must also explain why both of you choose that kind of cake. Next week is the deadline of submission, ” Prof. Len added. "Now, copy all of this on your notes, ” he continued as he write something on the board.

"Kae baby, I’ll leave the explanation to you. You’re good on that department, ” he said, grinning while both his thumb were up.

As what I deduced, I am really the one who was going to do all the work. But I guess that was fine. As long as I would’t spend a penny, I’d be happy.

“Okay. No worries. We’re going to buy the ingredients this Sunday, okay? Now write down what Prof L’s writing on the board. Don’t just keep on talking.”

"Yes, ma’am! Yes!" He said and then gave me a salute.

I just shook my head for his response. If Gin was not a playboy, maybe, I’d consider dating him.

My head facing the board turned to him when I saw that he was raising his iPhone. And then the next thing that I heard was the sound of the shutter.

Later that I know, he just took a picture of Prof. L’s writing instead of writing it on his notebook.Smart lazy ass!
