CHAPTER 0104

Andie's POV

(õ_ó)  ---That's me, staring at him after finding out THAT OUR SKIING TOUR HAS JUST BEEN CANCELLED! Yeah right, I was raising my eyebrows at him because I feel like he has something to do with it, even though I know he has nothing to do with it!

"When you are ready to talk, I'd be here to listen." He said, smirking at me. 

Tsk, why do I feel like he has something to do with it!? I am aware that he is 'friends' with Director Choi, but that was just because he won the raffle draw and nothing else! He can't be the reason why Director Choi decided to cancel our trip! I know he is a mere stranger, but still... I have a bad feeling about this! Hmpf!

"Hands off!" I yelled, tapping his hand when he was about to pour me a coffee. Yeah, he has the guts to pour me a coffee after he trespassed in Ate's house!

Yeah, we were inside Ate's property, but I did not let him walk inside the 'house'. We were seated on the grass covered ground, with a table in between us. He can't go inside Ate's house, besides with his bossy attitude, I am sure he would turn into a beast once he sees how ordinary the house is.

After he entered the gate a little while ago, he immediately attempted to step inside the house, but I blocked the door. I told him to sit on the ground if he wants me not to send him flying. And he willingly, I mean, stubbornly obliged.

After that, I went inside to prepare a coffee for him, in a heavy heart of course! Did he ask me to do it? No! I just realized the coffee were about to go bad that's why I served it to him. Hey, I am not planning on hurting his stomach, that's why when I realized I still have a pending case(the he is going to sue me thing), I tapped his hand to prevent myself from drinking the coffee! Wait.. what!?

He knocked his fingers on the table to catch my attention.

I looked at him.

"You really have a different way of showing affection, don't you?"

"You mean, hate?" I asked him sarcastically. He smirked.

"You see, there is a reason why I poured you a drink. I do not want to break it to you but it is not because I was being a gentleman."

"Yeah, why did you do it?"

"To confirm something."

"To confirm what?"

"To confirm that the coffee is as bad as it looks."

No response.

"Look here.. Do you smell something? Cause I don't. How did I know that the coffee has gone bad? Because it has lost its pleasant aroma. And it appears lighter brown."

No response.

"Now, fix your face. I am not mad, do I look mad?"

"M..mad? Who's mad?" I said as I try to hide the humiliation written all over my face. AhHh! Why does he know everything!

"Well, I am not mad. Are you?" He asked, smiling.

"Fine! I give up!" *blush* "I.. I was planning to p..prank you! Heard enough!?" I yelled out of embarrassment.

"Hey, don't be embarrassed. You see, I know why you did that. And I like it."

"..You liked it?"

"As I said, you have a different way of showing affection."

"WhaAaAat!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

"So I see you have not noticed it yourself. Well, that's surprising. But let me enlighten you. You PURPOSELY kicked, punched, and threw me UNSELFISHLY because you were so shy on telling me how you feel, you beat me up to TOUCH my BODY. Every. Part. Of. My. Body."

OH MY GOD.

"Now look how cute you are.."

"Cu..cute!? ArGgg!"

"Look I---"

"Shush!"

"Hey, wait a second! That's my line! You can't----"

"Shush!"

"You little---"

"Shush!"

"HEY!!!!!!!!!" He yelled as he stood up. He just freaking stood up! How dare he look down me! "Are you picking a fight!?"

"Are YOU picking a fight!?" I yelled back at him standing up!
Wait he is so tall!! I stepped on the table to equal his height! Now I am even taller than him! Wait.. I am taller than him! Finally!!!

ArGgG!

THIS IS WAR!!!!

"Wh..what... ArGgG! Step down there! Nobody ever looks down on me!"

"Oh yeah! And why would I step down!?"

"Step down or I would carry you off that table!"

"W..what!?"

"I said, step down or I would carry you off that table!!!"

"Oh yeah! Carry me off this table and I would----"

OH MY GOD!!!!!
