My Boyfriend out of a Desperate Deal

Too Late (2)

Laisha never intended to show up and build a hope for him. She just sent him a text for him to finally go home. However, she remembered something. Isn't tomorrow their monthsarry before? Tomorrow is the first day of February.
She paused for a while and felt like a sharp truth stabbed her heart. She wanted to go tomorrow, but she can't let herself destroyed again once more. With hazy thoughts, she casually went to her bedroom, ignoring Bella's confused stares.

She plopped down on her bed and scanned her contacts, dialling Kian's ID number.

When Kian answered her call, she did not immediately respond to his hello. Instead, she just sighed, paused for a moment before speaking.

"Uhmmmm, can you help me out decide?"

Kian was a little confused but just answered with "uhmm?".

She closed her eyes lazily and said, "should I meet him?"

Kian creased his temples, trying to decipher her words. Laisha did not hear any response thus she thought he did not understand who she mean.

"I mean, him. Mike"

"ooh"

"I'm so dumb"

Kian hinted what she was trying to say. He knows that whatever he would say, she'll won't do as what he will advise. He's well aware that heart is stupid if it is inlove, no matter what.
So, he thought of something and asked, "when are you gonna meet him?"

"tomorrow"

"time?"

"around 10 in the evening"

"where?"

"station club"

"so be it, meet him"

She never expected his answer. So quick and even suggesting her to go. She wanted to say no, yet deep in her heart, she want and pleased by his comment.

"If Mike can win me back, don't blame me, okay?"

"haha", his gentle laugh made her even confused. Is there something wrong with him? She's not kidding. She just "hmmmmp" then turned off the call.

------
When Kian heard the "toot toot toot", he glance at his phone screen and smirk.

This girl is way too stupid and too cute. He never thought a woman could stir in his private life. He felt like it's not a deal anymore, he's acting like a friend towards her. Thinking of which, why would she call him? Instead of her closest cousin? Even if they were having a deal, this is not part of their contract anymore. He heaved a sigh and brushed this thought off quickly.

Feb. 1st

Sophy was on her way to station club. Even if she did not received any response from Mike, she's still willing to wait and try her luck. It is still 9:30 when she reached the location and hastily looked for a table for two.

As she wander her eyes, looking for vacant seats, her eyes widened and revealed an evil smile. She spotted someone she never expected to be also in the place. She murmured, "oooh Laisha?".

When she was about to tail her, someone accidentaly bumped her and a wine poured unto her ceruline dress.
She exclaimed, "what the hell?!"
Before she turn back her gaze to where she spotted Laisha, she's already gone? Where did she go? She frantically looked around, but there was no trace of her. She paced back and forth, looking for her, but it is too crowded. She just thought, maybe she went inside the comfort room?

She hurriedly took her strides towards the comfort room and checked each cubicle. However, there's none. How come she disappeared in an instant?
With hopeless face, she sat down on one of a vacant seat and just waited for Mike.

----
Mike was patiently waiting for Laisha inside the VIP room of the Station Club. The reason why Sophy haven't found Laisha because she went inside the secret pathway towards the VIP rooms.

When Laisha finally returned, Mike unconsciously took a sip of wine, while controlling his nervous and shaking state. As he was intimidated by her presence and looks, his tongue tied as his confidence disappeared.
Laisha elegantly sat down across him. She stared at his helpless expression and waited for him to initiate the conversation. She seems cold and patient, but in reality, her heart was about to jump. Not knowing either of joy, pain, excitement, agony or what. It made her frustrated but seemingly enduring these stirring emotions at once.

When Mike opens his mouth, no words went out. It feels like his voice was missing and cannot utter a single word. Only a sound like, "uhmmmm".
"aahh"

"errr"

Laisha rolled her eyes and imposed an annoyed expression. How long does she have to endure this?

Finally, as she can't wait anymore, she stood up and turnd her back, signalling him that if he wont talk, then she have to leave. But after Laisha took a step, he spouted something that intensed the stirring emotions of Laisha.

"Laisha I love you!"

When she turned her gaze back at him, he was closing his eyes like an idiot after saying such words.

She crossed her arms and waited for him to continue.

Mike slowly opened his eyes. And when he saw her still standing and even staring at him. He swallowed a gulp and gathered all his courage to continue his words,

"You know that I still love you. And I know that you still do. I can wait Laisha. I can wait for you to come back"

Laisha raised her brow and said, "really?"

Like a little boy, he nodded hastily with eyes full of determination.

Laisha cannot help herself but shake her head lightly, a huge problem must be solved.

Seeing his determination, she think there is only one way to provoke this man and cut all his hopes.

Although it stinged her heart, she have to endure this. And because she still love this idiot, she does not know how to react.

She have to directly tell him to give up and she'll never coming back.

However, while staring at her earnestly, his eyes began to swell. In a second, tears running down his cheeks.

Laisha was stunned, her heart now even hurt more. It is so painful that she was about to cry. Just a little more and she'll comfort him now.

She turned her back again and held her emotions, enduring and controlling the pain, she bit her lip and heaved a sigh.

She planned to say a thing, but how will she ever hurt him more? She decided just to walk away instead.

When Mike saw her actions, he was scared. Scared to death that if he'll let her go this time again, maybe he'll never have a chance like this.

He hurriedly ran towards her and grabbed her hand.

Laisha who was about to reach the door knob was frozen.

She can't face him now, as her eyes began to swell also. She was about to retrieve her hand from his grip, without looking at him, however, he held it tighter.

She bit her lower lip again and said in a soft voice, "stop now".

"No, I can't .... please"

Laisha did not see his face as she kept her back on him. However, his voice was unstable. His hand which holding her was shaking. She can sense he is still crying.

She clenched her fist and closed her eyes while biting her lip. She whispered on her mind, "this is it. stop it. I can't hold it anymore"

In the next instant, Mike was surprised and stumbled on the floor with eyes wide open...
