BLSC #10 : His Bid on Her

Chapter 16 - Move On

Joel Cesborn

"Where do you think you're going?" I caught her wrist and she turned to me trying to let my grip go. I pulled her towards me making her body bumped to mine.

"Joel!" She hissed and I circled my arms around her small waist securing her tightly.

"How are you?" I asked and she ket trying to wiggle out from my grip. I took out my phone out and called Elijah.

"Joel!" She tried to let my grip go but still can't. I'm holding her with one hand and she still can't wiggle out.

"Yo! Elijah.. Find out who's paying Irene's rent." I said.

"It was you." He answered.

"Find him."

"You idiot.. it was you!" He bursted and I ended the call.

"Joel.. I lied.. no one paid the rent." Irene said and I know she was preventing me to be mad. I wanted to laugh so bad. I never knew it will lure her to come.

"Nah.. I want to find the guy.. I want to kill him" I said in a cold tone and she looked up to me.

"You're crazy!"

"Do you miss me? Or did you like so you have a reason to come here?"

"Miss you? I will never miss you!"

"I know Irene.. I know you miss me. You're blushing.." I smirked and leaned my head down closer to her.

"Stop trying.. Irene." I said and she glared at me hard.

"Let me go please.." She said sweetly but her eyes were glaring at me.

"Have lunch with me.." I said as I took a quick glace to the clock.

"No."

"How about we eat a chicken sandwich.. your favorite?" I asked and suddenly her eyes caught something. I looked down and again she discovered my necklace. It was the couple ring that she gave me.

I bet she unconsciously reach for it and looked at it. I let her reach for it. She looked at it intensely and then she sighed.

"You hate this.." She said and her eyes still stucked.

"I never hate it.." I said and she pushed me away. I let her go and she looked away.

"Sorry about earlier.. I thought it was you so.." It was me.. of course. I just played the roll so you won't be mad at me. I want to help you and just supporting you in everyway. I know New York's rent price is crazy and I know you're strunggling with it too.

"I'm going to find that guy and kill him.. I'll pay the rent instead." I said.

"No!" She bursted immediately.

"Okay fine.. I know you hate that kind of thing." She was like that when we were dating.

"Sorry and.."

"Let's have lunch." I said and she looked up to me.

"Come on.. Irene. It's been 6 months." I begged and she sighed.
