Justin Chenerey POV’s

Im here on the bookstore near on my Condo i also ran from Yuan you know i hate cleaning mess. While im looking for new books i saw so many girls outside looking at me. Sometimes i need a break from being handsome you got always exposed.

Anyway where is that book?Whe i saw it i immediately get it and i notice someone.

Sleeping? I go close to her and look at her face...

Wait this is the delivery girl earlier and the new student on school i stare at her face for a couple of seconds...

She had a angelic face, have long eyelashes her lips is red i know she’s not wearing any lipstick but a lip balm i think?

“W-who are you??”she asked when she awake i look at other directions.

“Ah actually im finding books so i saw you wearing that ID i assume that your a staff here”i said i think she believe me so she stands and fix her shirt.

“Ah im sorry if you saw me like this anyway what books are you looking for i can help you find it”she said and smile wait what book im gonna say?

“Ah, Arthur Conan Doyle books”i answer

“Ah Doyle books? In this way go right then you will saw a red cabinets there a lot of Doyle’s book there enjoy sir”she said and left i look at her enter the staff room she look’s tired.

She have a lot of job as a Pizza delivery then now a Bookstore staff what else?

I continue get the books and pay it on the counter. I feel sleepy i want to rest.When i arrived here in my condo i smell a woman’s fragrance i think she’s here again.

“Hi babe! I waited too long”she said its Misty my fiancee she wrapped her arms on me but i immediately removed it im not that clingy type person

“I don’t say anything that you need to wait for me” i said and sit and the couch but she follow me and sir beside me. I know she is my fiancee but i really don’t like her on romantically way i can’t see her as my wife on the future she is really not my type as of now im following the orders of my parents but trust me when i found the girl for me i can stop this nonsense engagement that girl who don’t look just because of my appearance, wealth and benefits. I want that one who will love me whole heartedly because i am me.

All people is looking for that the one who will accepts your flaws.

“Babe i have a gift for you”Misty said and give me small box i look at it and open.

“What’s this again?” its a watch again..

Seriously this again? How many times that she give me watch i know its there company business Luxury Watches.

“Yeah watch so that you can give your time to me, Hello im your girlfriend here”she said

“Girlfriend? I thought you are just my fiancee for business purposes”i said i don’t want to be harsh but i need to tell her about this so that she’s not got hurt at last.

“I hate you!”she said and leave me that’s great she left so i can have my rest.

I wear my earphone and listen some calming music and lay on my bed.I think i fall asleep for three hours. When i look at my desk watch its already 7 pm in the evening time to eat for dinner. I just take my Ducati and drive to the nearest Ramen House i prefer noodles on my dinner.When im inside the Ramen Restaurant i saw her again here?

The girl who have a lot of job.

“Good evening sir!”waiter greet me so i smiled and sit on the vacant so i look the menu and order.I saw one of the waitress there is looking at me while blushing oh come one let me rest.

“Miss give me Spicy Miso Ramen and Bell Teriyaki Bowl and One Carrot Juice and i want that girl will serve my food”i said and point the Delivery girl the waitress just nod at me it takes 5 minutes my orders arrived and miss delivery girl bring that here.

“Sir here’s your order have a nice dinner”she said but i slowly grab here hands make her confused.

“Sir?Need anything?”she ask okay i really look strange here is she can’t notice me?

“Ahm i think i saw you somewhere.. ah you're the girl on the bookstore before the one that sleeping”i said and acting that’s its a coincidence i don’t want to be look stalker to her.

“Ah i remember you sir the one who finding the Doyle’s book”she said and smiled she look so tired.

“What time is your out here?”i ask “ Dont worry im just gonna ask you something”i said so she just look at me

“By 10 pm sir”she answer

Damn its really too long its quarter to 10 so i go outside the store and continue waiting there. Wait why im waiting here? Just because of that girl? Justin youre becoming worse that girl make you wait for damn 2 hours.

Ryka POV’s

Is that man serious? That he will wait for me but why? I look at the table where he is before bt he’s not there anymore.

He is gone already. By his face he look short tempered but anyway he looks familiar i think i saw him already somewhere but i forgot where it is.

“Ryka you ca ow go home”Mr.Tan said he is my boss here in the restaurant actually he is a Chinese so i don’t know why his business is Japanese i look at my watch its 09:30 pm ? Why sudden going home early?

“You Ryka you didn’t said that handsome man waiting for you”he said he looks like a gossiper the way he said that with his eyebrows raising.I just smile at him and get my belongings its good that he already gave me my salary for this day i prefer everyday payday you know i can’t settle on one job i need more.

Our life is poor i need to make money in order to live.

I go out to the resto and anyway this is one of my job earlier Bookstore close early they need to renovate something on the shelf so that’s why i off. Im lucky because one of my friend contact me to have a part time here Ramen House the other waiters can’t duty due to some emergency that’s why Mr. Tan is always happy because if they need substitute im here so he always paying me with bonus of course.

“Hey!” someone hold my wrist

“Whoaaa” i shout and immediately grab his hand and twist it its my self defense. I look at the man oh my god my mistake its the man earlier.

“Sorry! I didn’t mean to do that!” i said and let go of his hand the way i look at his face you can see the pain huhu why he come out like that? I thought he is a holdaper or something.

“Its okay i also don’t know that it will scare you, youre so strong miss”he said and still touching his arms i feel bad for myself.

“Why youre still here?”i ask him and walk he follow me

“i told you ill wait”he said while looking at the way

“Anyway where do you live? I drop you there”he said so i just look at him why he will do that where not close and we are stranger to each others yes he is handsome but it doesn’t mean that i will come to him

“Sorry i can manage myself,i apologize if you wait me excuse me i have to go”i said i turn my back when...

*Swisshhhhhhh* ( a fast car appeared)

He grab me from that nearly bump he hold my waist so we are in a awkward position in a wrong move his lips and mine are going to touch.

I stare at his face...

He is really handsome like what now his face is so close to mine i even hear his breathe

“Be careful what if i don’t grab you for sure the car will crash on you”he said ad let go of my waist i feel the redness of my face so without looking back i ran from him im so shy i even didn’t say thank you to him!

Next time if i encountered him again i promise to be good.

When i got home i still remember what happens and my face reddened again damn it.

I need to go to sleep i have a morning class tomorrow i can’t be late.

MORNING....

Im near to school when i saw a coffee vending machine so i buy there.

“Ryka!!”Its Katerin who running on my way

“What do you need?”i ask that’s why his face become blank she is mad haha i like to tease her like this.

“Youre so mean! Anyway you didn't tell me that youre dating Howard Mavis!”she said

*Prfttttttttt*

I spit the coffee because of what i heard. Me? Dating that man what kind of news was that!? Is she insane? Why would i date that man?!

“Date? Are you crazy?!”i shout she just grab my hand

“Come to me ill show you something”she said and pull me to the bulletin board a lot of students looking at me.

“Look at it! What does that picture mean?”she said and point out the pictures there yesterday its me and Howard running holding hands together and when his arms on my shoulder actually by this picture we look like that we really are dating! Who the hell capture this?!

*Clap Clap*

“You're just new here but you already know how to flirt?!”the girl said ad glare at me what did she say? Im a flirt? Then Ashley came that Campus Queen?

“What’s happening here?”Ashley said

“Look Ashley that girl is a flirt look at those picture of Howard and her on the park”the girl said in the red lips he look like a entertainer in bar actually i remain calm because if i got mad for sure its a war.

“Calm down Samantha ill take care of this!”said Ashley and look at me my heart skipped beat i don’t want this i want to run from this but i don’t know how i feel the numbness of my legs i can’t even step.

“So what’s your name again? Don’t you dare not answer me or else i will pull your hair with your messy face!”Ashley shout

Yes im a strong woman but not on this situation im here at school as long as possible i don’t want to make a move that can destroy my reputation.

Katerin was about to speak but i just look at her and signal her that don’t ever do that if she join this im sure of that i can’t control myself anymore if she got hurt.

*Paakkk*

What she just did? I touch my face did she just slap me?

“That’s for being flirt!” she shout and she was about to slap me again when someone stop her.

Its Marc Daniel...

“Stop it Ashley!”he said whil holding Ashley’s hand he is with someone that look familars..

All of students there starting to move away like they are giving way for there presence. What’s happening?

“The Royal Punk arrived!”

“Oh my god!”

“They are all handsome!”

Wait Royal Punk???

They are the Royal Punk? But some of them are just my classmates? They are the bad-ass here in Bradford? But they don’t look dangerous i expected that Royal Punk is wearing a gangster clothes but not they look clean in any angle they look perfect the way they stand. They really look like a Royal’s minus the Punk.

“No Marc! She is a slut its suites her!”Ashley said seriously im just stopping myself to punch this girl.

“Are you okay?”Katerin come close to me and give me a hand i just nod at her but seriously im don’t feel good after this Ashley slap me its hurt you know. Im feeling a hot liquid from my eyes.

“Let’s go”Im on shock when this man hold my hands and pull me again on that place.. Its Yuan Katerin just look at me and smile like Yuan can take care of me in this situation. I just follow him its not the right time to argue with him i should be thankful that he do that.

I feel the pain on my cheeks.Her hand is heavy.

When i return to my consciousness i found myself inside a not familiar room.

He look like a condo type room there’s a little island bar at the middle then also a billiard table, there’s also a small bookshelf there and a flat screen Television?

Did i really lost from consciousness not to find that we go out of the school? But its impossible.

“Take your sit i will get a water”Yuan said i just nod and sit to the nearest couch.

“Where am i?”i ask him then look again to my surroundings.

“Youre here on the forbidden room exclusively for us”he said and hand me a glass of water.

“Thank you but why you didn’t tell me at first that you are member of Royal Punk?”i ask he just smile okay he becoming weird again. He sit my side

“You didn’t ask me so who am i to tell that what if you're not interested to know it just a waste of effort”he said then a minute passed Marc Daniel arrived and that Howard they are looking at me.

And that....

The man on the bookstore, Ramen House damn it the man who save me last night. I stand up.

“Take your sit!”Marc Daniel shout that’s why i sit again he is glaring at me he is more scary than Ashley

“You know what youre doing?!” he shout again

“Huh? Me?”i am confused

“No not you! i***t!”he said in sarcasm i just look at my side but im just alone sitting here oh my god who is he referring? Did he see a ghost?!

I saw how Howard stop himself to laugh even Yuan, Marc notice them so this man look at them and glared that’s why they become serious again.

>//////

“i apologize for disturbing you all, can i go out now?”i said and bow my head.

“NO!!”its Marc again damn he is shouting again what’s wrong with him?

“You! Why are you shouting at me?! You make my ear hurts you that!? I don’t do anything bad to you so why yelling at me!!”i shout in annoyance they are all shock

“I leave!”i said again shyness consume again i really have a bad temper! Im saying a hurting words when i got feel uncomfortable.

I just go out without looking at them again and forget to say thank you, damn you Ryka wrong move again they help you but what did you do in return shouting at them.

I look at my wristwatch damn i still have class thank god our professor is absent so i just wrote my attendance.

Shantal sit beside me.

“You okay?i heard what happen”she said she looks worry i just smiled at her and tap her head

“Im okay now don’t worry” i said then her reaction becomes bright again she also have a weird attitude haha.

I saw Marc and Howard enter the rooms yeah i almost forgot they are my classmates. I don’t bother to look at them i just continue talking to Shantal until break time comes.

When all students come out except me and Shantal that Howard put a paper on my table then go out. What’s this?

“i apologize for what happen earlier, later 5 pm on the park ill wait”

-Howard

What? Why doing this? But yeah its his fault if he don’t do that for sure no one notice us there but also my fault because i don’t know that he is one of the Royal Punk that’s why they are so popular.I didn't go out to the room only Shantal manage to buy on the cafeteria you know safety first thanks to Shantal she also take her food here so that im not alone eating here.

Howard POV’s

I left a notes to Ryka on her table i want to apologize she got hurt because of me its not my intention after all. Why they are all fool thinking that Ryka flirting with me? What the heck.Poor mindset.

Its already dismissal time so i go home first to bring my bag then do my homework you know im still a good students after all.

Whe its quarter to 5 pm i immediately go to park to wait there.

5:30...

6:00...

Damn it why she’s not here? Im sure she read my notes.

Anyway i forgot to introduce myself, im Howard Mavis im a Team Captain in Basketball and also a varsity player well im great.

I don’t have my parents they already past away im only with my grandmother.I don't have a sibling. Only Marc,Yuan and Justin become my brothers they are only the person who can get along with my attitude.

They said im the hard person to be with in one look but they don’t know im a girl magnet haha. Anyway back to reality its already 7 pm she’s still not here. I feel a water touching my body when i look up its raining already! Damn it should i wait here or go home? Why she didn’t come?that girl is insane!

Ryka POV’s

Im here on the Convenience store duty. I saw how the hard the rain outside then suddenly i remember Howard my mistake i forgot that im going to meet him at park! I look at my watch its already 7 pm for sure he’s already gone.

“Do you saw that man? He all soaked”

“Who the hell the person that make him wait there”

“I feel pity him, for sure he will got sick”

I feel bad after hearing that... What if its Howard?

“Ahm miss excuse me sorry if i heard your conversations but you said there’s a man in the park?”i ask they just nod

“Ah yes until now he still there”she said i tell my boss that i got a emergency and immediately go out.

When im at the park i saw Howard there sitting hugging himself.

“Are you nuts?!! Why not going home?! Look its already raining!”i shouted at him

“Why youre late?!”he shout and trying to stand but he collapse so i go near at him and hold him.His body was so hot he have a high fever.

“H-hey where are you going?”he is shaking in cold.

“I accompany you to go home look you all soaked and have a high fever where did you live?”i ask but he lost consciousness damn he so heavy thanks god a tricycle passed.

Ill bring him to my apartment and wait him to be okay.

“Who is that? Your boyfriend?”

“Are you insane? He is my classmate he is wet because of the rain,Come Rion help me to carry this man”I said thanks god that Rion help me I thought he's gonna ignore.

“Make sure that he is not your boyfriend!”Rion said I just glared at him

“Lend him your clothes I don’t have oversize shirt” i said he look pissed

“But why my clothes?! What if he have a body odor?!”he said and about to leave when I speak.

“Don’t be too picky, just lend him your excess shirt he will return it to you don’t worry,this man is rich so you don’t need to worry look at his clothes its all branded” I said and get some dry towel.He just throw his shirt at me, He really a stubborn sometimes. Wait how can I change his clothes?damn it.

“Rion favor again? Can you change his clothes for me?”I said and try to be cute but I think its not effective.

“No! I already lend him my clothes why order me to change his clothes now?”he said im starting to get irritated but I remain calm I just get up and try to unbutton his shirt huhuhu I feel my face now is blushing huhu someone help!

I am so nearly done to unbutton his shirt and damn it his abs is so fascinating how he work out this almost perfect abs? damn it.

“Damn it! Get out now”Rion said and pushed me damn this kid that’s hurt, he was so moody.I just leave the room and look for food. For our dinner so lucky we still have some groceries I saw a chicken should I cook Adobo for now?

(Adobo is a Filipino Food with basic ingredients like soy sauce and vinegar with garlic)

So I start to cook, its already late dinner so I rush it but I know I can manage to taste it good beside its easy to cook dish.

Hours passed I think Rion is done changing Howard clothes so I go to his room

“Rion let’s eat I cook adobo”I said his tired face turns to bright

“yes! You know its hard to change his clothes he was so heavy”Rion said and pout

“yeah I know that’s why I cooked your favorite so eat well”I said and prepare the food on the table later im going to wake Howard to take his medicine and eat dinner for sure he’s not eaten yet.When we finish eating I wash the plates and go to my room where Howard is sleeping.

*meowww*

Its Pikachu my cat I think he is hungry too. I smiled when he lean his body on my legs I still remember how I got this cat, actually its 2 years since I got him from the village where Katerin live Pikachu was crying that time so I pity him and take him home beside this cat have a breed Because he is so big unlike the stray cats that you will saw on the streets.

I look at Howard again who peacefully sleeping. I can’t help to stare at him he is handsome indeed.

“hey staring is rude” he said and open his eyes how did he know that I am staring?i blush again so I look away.

“youre awake and I think your fever go low, come and eat dinner then take your medicine” I said and about to leave when he hold my wrist.

“Thank you Ryka, but why helping me? You know because of me Ashley slapped you”he said

“it doesn’t matter now and let’s move in its already happened so please get up and eat then you can go home”I said and smile I go back to the sink and prepare his food. Its good that he sit on the chair waiting for the food.

“What is this?”he points the Adobo seriously? He don’t know what is this? Rich kid.

“Its delicious Adobo”I said he just get a small serving of rice and put it on his plate then small serving of Adobo then he eat it he look at me weirdly what’s wrong? He don’t like it?

“What happen? Does it taste bad?” I ask him but he still speechless Rion like it so what’s wrong with him?

“This is so great! So delicious!”he said I smiled at him when he continue eating like he really love the food he looks like a kid that so excited because his mom cook for him.

“Is your mom doesn’t cook a dishes like that?”I ask but suddenly he stops.

“I don’t know im still a child when she died”he said and look down I think im on my limit

“sorry I didn’t mean to bring that topic”I said he just smiled again and continue eating this man is full of suprises. When he’s done eating, He stood up and go to my back then he hugged me so Im so shock like why he’s hugging me?

“Thank you for the delicious food! Ryka”he said and go back to his chair. I just smiled trying not to blush I think its normal for them to be clingy.

“Anyway if you really done there you just can leave the plates there im going outside first”I said and immediately leave that place I hear my heart beat faster.

“Damn what’s happening to me” I whisper I just buy some goods in the store,when I go back I sit at the bench here outside the apartment. I look at sky finally the rain stops and some stars is now on my sight.

I really feel tired tomorrow I still have work after school. I look at my wallet, Its hurt you know when you can’t find money on it.

I yawn and lean on the wall I feel sleepy…
