status: it's COMPLICATED! (COMPLETED)

Chapter 76

TYLER's POV

I held Anna's hand so tight that I'm sure she won't be able to let loose even if she try--- which she did.

"Tyler no! Are you crazy?! Why did I even bother to ask? You're crazy! Paano kung mag-iskandalo siya dito? Paano kung sabunutan niya ako? Bakit hindi mo sinabi na siya pala yung singer kanina?! We're in front of her, for christ sake! Sana mas pina-obvious mo pa no?!" she said exasperated as she continued to pull her hand from my grip gently---as not to be obvious to the one's around.

Anna's a coward, so I know that she won't listen to my reasoning even if I'll tell her that everything's okay because Han is NOT my girlfriend.

Yes, its HAN for Yoon Kim Han not hon for Honey.

I pulled Anna towards our table wherein Han is already waiting. After her song, I nodded at her and she immediately went at our table. We would have been there too by now if only Anna didn't make it hard.

I told Anna over and over that it's okay--because Han won't get mad because there is nothing going on between us. But I guess nothing I said penetrated her thick brain. So now I don't have a choice but to just pull her. I would have carried her through my shoulders if only we're not on a fine dining restaurant.

"It's okay Anna. Stop fighting." I said as calmly as I could so the others won't suspect that there is actually something going on.

The moment we reached the table, Anna immediately hid behind my back.

"Hey baby, I missed you. Who's the girl you're with? I saw how sweet you both are on the dance floor. Can I pull her hair now? Or maybe later." Han said sweetly as she chuckled.

That's Han---my crazy girl friend. She knows everything about Anna so that is her, obviously making Anna run for her life. She's been telling me before that if ever she'll meet Anna, she'll let her have an amazingly bad first impression of herself so Anna would get intimidated as a price for breaking my heart. I guess "intimidated" is an understatement of what Anna is feeling right now,--more of like terrified.

That is actually one of the reasons why she's my only close girl friend. Because she's the only girl I know, whom I can talk to about my emotionally wrecked lovelife without actually making me feel like it's a weird thing to do. She makes it seem just like a normal conversation because of her nasty, grumpy, bitchy comments about my lovelife. But unbelievably, I actually don't know how she does it, but she still manages to give me an amazing advice--still--with not so kind words. And she's a lesbian, so not falling in love with me is a plus.

"Stop doing that Han, you're only making her more nervous and you know how I don't like that."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Calling you "baby" doesn't actually appeal to me that much either. Yuck!" she said with disgusted look in her face. That is actually how we normally converse. Kind words and sweet talks isn't actually our thing. We wouldn't be Tyler and Han if we won't have nasty comebacks about each other.

I felt Anna relax. I guess probably she already realized that Han and I aren't actually couples--as I already explained to her a while ago, which she didn't believe.

"Hey Anna, don't you know that it's rude not to look at people's eyes when they're talking to you?" Han said. I gave Han a warning look but she only mouthed, "What?"

I felt Anna take a deep breath, then slowly but confidently, she positioned herself on my side.

"I'm sorry about that. Let me introduce myself properly." Anna said formally. "I'm Anna Ibarra, Tyler's friend. And I'm not actually sure if it's nice meeting you." then she offered her hand for a handshake with a smirk on her face. I can't help but smile.
