WANTED : YOU

Chapter 6 : Each Side... Blended Well

Me and my new found friend, Tine who I already adored were walking ahead not minding the man behind us.

After the meeting and that hilarious scene, my super grumpy cousin Sarawat just declared to go home instead of allowing me roam around first and go to the higher level of this mall like he used to do when we meet after a long time not seeing each other. Buuuuuut! Not that quick as Tine bids his goodbye, leaving everyone his toothy sweet smile and happy waving hands making the people there and the owner himself which is our dear friend too smiled at the lively boy except your highness who was just left with his signature flat line lips that never failed, eyes straight on the door out and a stoic face he always wear whenever and wherever he goes. 

I wonder if he doesn't feel tired being like that. ALWAYS!

Well, we didn't bothered by his coldness when we finally got in the back seat of the car, enjoying each other's company, arms tangled without even caring the grumpy man with us.

"I don't like what you did earlier."

Tine and I both whipped our heads and look at the man on the driver's seat now, making our giggle and little chat stops for a while.

"Where's your driver?"

I asked instead, noticing my cousin's still serious face looking intently at me.

"I'll drive you home first."

As stubborn as I used to be, in an instant my well-defined brow arched, unconvinced.

"You're driving us home without your men with you?"

"If you're forgetting my dear cousin, the one you're talking to was a full-grown up man now, not a freak teenager."

I know there's someone perked both ears by the way he implies that.

"Ow! I forgot!"

With a subtle glance on my side I playfully replied, covering my mouth but smiling widely behind.

"And I have some important tasks for them to accomplish."

He explained.

"Hey, you! I..."

"I have a name, may I remind you."

A giggle suddenly came out of my mouth making Sarawat narrowed his brows, piercing me with his glare before his sharp eyes were drawn to the boy beside me who was ignoring him the whole time.

I saw Tine crossing his arms on his chest, looking outside of the window, quiet.

Looking at Sarawat who's heaving hard then trying to slowly breathe the air out of his lungs, I know he's giving himself enough time not to lash out and force the poor boy to listen to him.

But I doubt it.

"Tine, what you did earlier was so rude. Talking back to her that way was very impolite, too."

Sarawat said as calm as he could, doesn't even sure if the conversation he's making was enough letting the boy to realize his misbehavior earlier knowing that he wasn't that easy and ordinary. That's what I perceived about him.

And I was right.

"What?! Me?! Rude?! And impolite?!"

Tine snapped his head facing him, as he blurts out incredulously pointing a finger to himself, then shakes his head afterwards.

"I'm not sure about that. But all I know was she's the one who's being rude there not me accusing me like I'm dumb just because I got laid my hands on those pieces of sheet."
