"You don't want me to call the cops?" Red asked astonishingly. "He practically kidnapped you, Greene."

Forrest insisted to drive me back to my apartment after our little scene outside the cafe.

When we arrived we saw Red sitting at the stairs leading to my apartment room. His head was slumped and his hair was ruffled unneatly to different directions.

He immediately stood up when he heard me call his name but I had to calm him down and stop him from punching Forrest when he saw him.

He was clearly mad that I went home with a man.

Wearing the man's hoodie and basketball shorts also added to his anger, I guess.

I give a point to Forrest for lending me comfortable 'gears' and not slutty ones.

"Calm down, Red. He didn't do anything I promise." I assured my fuming bestfriend.

Red and I were inside my room talking while Forrest was in the living room smoking cigarettes. I didn't want Forrest to hear all Red's cusses directed to him.

"What exactly happened, Athena?"

And I proceeded telling him the whole story.But I had to leave out the part about me helping Forrest a bit. I didn't want him to really get in a brawl with the guy.

"So he's Red?" Forrest smirked.

I blushed. I remembered what he said about me saying I love Red in my sleep.

"I told you he's like Family." I whispered. Red was just inches away from us. He was giving us space so I could say goodbye.

"Uh-huh." he rolled his eyes. "Noted: The subject is bad at hiding unrequited feelings."

I tried punching him in his shoulder but he immediately caught my fist and to my surprise, he kissed it.

I felt my crazy hormones bouncing up and down at the contact.

Is there a shop for fixing that? I think my hormones has a glitch.

"Now, now. You can't hurt the observer." Forrest tut making me blush harder.

"And you can't touch her." Red snatched my fist away from Forrest. "The quicker you leave the better."

They glared at each other for a moment but Forrest broke the staring competition first.

He went inside his car and opened his driver's window.

" I can't promise not to touch her-" he smirked at Red who immediately clasped his fists "Not now that I've already seen all of her." he winked at me and drove away.

"What the actual fuck, Athena?!" Red turned to me fuming with anger

"That absolutely didn't come out right " I nervously faked a laugh. Red is scary when he's angry.
