YAMATO: Chapter four

Alex Carter's P.O.V

It's been two days since I got home from London, and I'm very unproductive. I haven't even unpacked my clothes yet, or even washed this hoodie. I haven't been out of my cave for two days, it's so god damn cold. Even if I hug the duvet, it's still cold; but when I wear this hoodie I feel a little warm and cozy. And the perfume isn't wearing off, it's pure bliss to my breathing.

Pure bliss I must repeat.

I was woken up by the obnoxious sound that my phone was making. An unknown number was calling me, and it's not from USA.

"Uh? Hello?" I answered softly through the phone.

"Hi uhm,"

"Sorry for asking, but may I know who this is?" I asked

"Geez, you're too formal and all. It's Caroline!" She shouted

"Well you know, I still need my ears"

"Oops! Sorry." She mumbled

"So, hi? Why haven't you texted me back or something?"

The phone call lasted for I think an hour, she said she's sorry but his boyfriend wasn't making phone calls, appearances, or anything the past few weeks and she was out of it. Damn, that boy is missing a lot. She said she wanted to follow wherever his boyfriend is, but she doesn't want to let her parents know that they're having a rocky relationship status.

Third day is today, I finally decided to go to the mall. Maybe do a little shopping or I don't know. I need to soak vitamins unto my skin.

"Hey!" A familiar voice called me when I was about to exit a clothing boutique.

I turned around and well oh well I cannot believe what I am seeing with my naked eyes.

"Hey, Sammy." I mumbled

"It's Stanley, but whatever I don't expect you to remember my name anyways." He chuckled

I don't know why the hell is my body ice cold and I cannot speak. Maybe because this is a rare happening in one's life.

"Yeah"

"I didn't expect to see you here" He said in disbelief

"Yeah, neither do I." I pursed my lips unto a thin line

"It's been what, three days?"

"Stop acting as if this is some kind of movie, where we bump into each other and go get something to eat and-" I was cut off by my stomach rumbling, that's where I realised I haven't ate a thing since I fluttered my eyes open.

"As much as I don't want to act like it, it is what it is. And it's happening right now cause your tummy's complaining."

"Let's go," he said and walked to a certain direction

"Uhm? Where are you going? And I'm not going anywhere with you." I talked back "creepy af" I muttered

"We're going to eat! Come on!" He whined like a five year old who wants the huge lollipop.

"Hell no" I crossed my arms, I'm standing on my ground

"You don't even know me, what if I'm plotting something"

"I know you, just not your name" He pointed out

"Oh! I'm just going to call you Angelina Jolie, that's what you told me on the plane, right?" He smirked

"Let's go, Angelina Jolie!" He shouted, making almost everyone turn their heads.

"Come on, Angelina Jolie!" He shouted again and people started looking at me
