That Girl

Chapter 17

*Ravi's POV*

I was pissed off, what was all of that about? All I did was mess around with her! I didn't expect to get attacked for it! And why wouldn't she speak, what was her problem! I growled in frustration as I walked down the sidewalk, pulling my hood over my head, shielding me from the wind. I cared about her, yea, but it frustrated me. I liked her, a lot, but I guess if she didn't really like me it was ok.. Right? I could deal with it, but what was Ken's problem? He was so protective, he's never that serious. I sighed shoving my hands in my pockets as I turned a corner, accedently bumping into someone, "Sorry." I muttered looking to see it was a young girl, "Its o--omo! Aren't you Ravi? From VIXX?" She asked grinning from ear to ear. I nodded, not really in the mood for fans at that point, and she looked at me concerned, "Are you alright?" She asked. She honestly seemed worried so I sighed, looking to the ground and I scratched my neck, "There's this girl and just I don't know.." I slumped my shoulders more, and the girl put a hand on my shoulder, "How about we get coffee, and you tell me about it." She said holding my arm, "I'm Jade by the way." She smiled alittle. I smiled alittle, feeling abit better as I walked with her. I looked at her, now that I was less distracted, and realized she had really pretty, and long black hair with lavender ombrè. She wore a white kitty snapback, and her coat was also white. I could barely see what she was wearing under her coat, but I could tell she was wearing a skirt because she was wearing lavender leggings, with black nikes. She was cute, but I didn't think much of it at that point. I was still stuck on what had happened earlier. We walked to the nearest coffee shop, and sat at a booth across from each other, "So," she paused to take a drink, "What happened?" She asked curiously. We sat for a good while, I exolained what had happened to her and she took it all in like a sponge. After I had finished talking she sat staring at her cup, she seemed to be processing and thinking it all through. "Hm.. It seems she might have trauma from something in the past. Also she seems to sound as though she has trust issues, plus with what you said about her having a nervous habit of lip biting and that she's made her lip bleed alot then it makes me think so even more. I suggest apologizing, but the thing with Ken, it's clear he cares alot about her and she told him her secrets. She trusts him, and I think they like each other, but she doesn't know it yet. Clearly he does." She finished looking over at me, seeing if I had understood. It made sense. All of it. His protectiveness, her shyness, her silence.. I looked over at Jade and nodded, "Alright. I understand now." I stated calmly. She smiled, "Glad I could help." She drank the rest of her coffee, and stood, "I suggest getting back." She said, "Wait," I stood, "uh, what's your number?" She looked at me, and turned a light pink, "Uh, ya know what let me just put it in your phone." She said embarassed and I handed her my phone. She typed away then handed it back, "Thanks." I grinned at her. She was nice, "Your welcome." She stated smiling and walking out.

*Ken's POV*

I helped Ari with the dishes after everone was finished with breakfast as everyone migrated out of the kitchen one by one til we were alone. I slid over slowly and I nudged her with my shoulder, making her laugh and look over at me, "What?" "What?" I asked, acting like I hadn't done anythig and she rolled her eyes, continuing with her cleaning. I did it again and she did it back, not moving her gaze from her work, smirking. I grinned and leaned over blowing in her ear, making her squeak and look at me angrily, but it was more of a cute angry than a mad angry. I laughed as she blew in my face, and she pouted, huffing. I put an arm around her waist carefully, and poked her cheek with my nose before I continued with the dishes. She giggled and stood on her tip toes to bite my shoulder, "Ow!" I stated rubbing my shoulder, and play pouting. She looked at me like she'd just accedently murder my favorite anime character and was extremely regretful, "I-I'm sorry!" She said kissing my shoulder and I laughed, "It's ok! It wasn't that bad!" I laughed petting her hair. We finished the dishes, and walked out of the kitchen to find everyone was gone. I noticed something on the couch, and I picked it up.

" Going to get Arielle's stuff from her hotel! We'll be back soon!
- Cora and Hakyeon"

I showed it to Ari and she laughed, "They're so cute together." She stated, setting it back down, "So what do you wanna do till they get back?" She asked, plopping down onto the couch. I kneeled onto the floor infront of her, and wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her closer. "I don't know." I looked up at her to see her blushing, I tried aborting, but when I did, she just pulled me back into the embrace. I held her confidently, knowing she wanted the contact, and I stared at her mouth and eyes. She was so beautiful. She was funny, talented, charming, cute.. She even like One Piece. She just set my world on fire. She was staring back, her expression was almost blank, but had a slight expression of curiosity. We both sat like that for what seemed like minutes, but was only a few seconds. We were jolted out of dream land by the apartment door opening, making me let go of her quickly, and we both sat up straight. I hadn't taken my eyes off her though, she was bright red as she had turned to look who it was, "O-Oh Ravi! I- uh.. I wanted to talk to yo-" "No, it's alright. I understand." I looked over at him, both of us surprised at his change in attitude, "W-What?" She asked slowly. He walked over and sat down, "Look, I had time to think, and I met someone who helped me see things clearer. I'm so sorry for earlier, I wasn't thinking. Please.. Forgive me."

*Ari POV*
I looked at him, suprised at what he was saying, "...." I saw how sincere he was, and I could hear it in his voice, "Of course. I forgive you." I said smiling softly at him, "Thank you." He said then looked over at Ken, "Oh!" He looked back at me, "By the way.." He leaned over to whisper in my ear, "If you want to be with Ken.. It's ok." He leaned back, and I blushed bright red, looking over at Ken then back at him, "Th-Thanks."
