Being Next to You

Chapter 32: Hero saved me but doesn't mean I'll fall for that person, right??

I hear whispers...

Tons of whispers, compliments to be exact from the ladies who had happened to pass by and witnessed my exquisite beauty.

It hasn't been five minutes and already an eye candy.

I smiled.

'Get lost, bitches.'

I kept on talking to myself inside my head while smiling and waiting. 

But how boy do I want them to shut up. 

"Just shut up already," I muttered.

Sidney finally came out, releasing a huge sighed.

!?

"That was scary..!" I heard him murmuring. He didn't notice me at the side, waiting for him. When he did, he replaced it with a kind smile for a split second.

"Thanks for waiting." He said. "Shall we go somewhere and eat? I know a place where it sells good waffle."

"Is it White Mouse, perhaps?" I questioned with a smile. "Thanks but I'm not technically fond of that place.., and I prefer studying at home." I kindly declined his offer, but somehow, it didn't work out. I was sitting at a nearby café before I knew it, (yet at least it's not White Mouse and the waffles tasted not that bad) however, in my position where I'm sitting, no matter how I look at it, he still looks like a pretty damn maiden.

'Just look how he enjoys eating those waffles, making a sweet face with flowers and all..! It's unbelievable..!'

I'm just quietly sipping my cup as I finished my last waffle. The soon I'm done, the sooner I can go home. Yet again, flower boy opened a conversation and it was the best time to leave.

"The autumn leaves are beautiful," He said, looking at the scenery outside.

"It's also getting colder and colder," I added.

"Speakings of the cold," Sidney gazed at the window, "the staff inside that fancy-pansy restaurant early gave me an ice-cold shoulder. And I don't even like that place," he heavily sighed.

"You're seriously saying that was a restaurant," I took him as a joke-- you're bad at lying, dolly.

Yet again, I had to ask the reason like any person do. And he answered with, "Because they don't like me as a guy," with a laze tone voice, "more like they don't see me as one," he sighed in grief. I understand that though..

"I kinda understand what you mean." I smiled with sympathy since his face and slender body structure doesn't give a manly aura.

"I bet you also think I'm not a man huh?" He smirked me with such a face.

"About 75%." I smiled, "and I'm already kind by the way."

"I don't need your sympathy." Sidney looked at me with dead eyes. "I'm just ranting my complaints so don't worry," and that kept my mouth shut and I apologized.

He was staring at the window again with such distant looking eyes, saying something at the same time. "But you know, I'm complaining but I do not mind doing this stuff if it's for the person you deeply care about." Flower boy said, and he was grinning. He made the same expression just like Ellijah did earlier when he was thinking about lychee.

"This is just a peak of my curiosity...," I took his attention, "do you have a mate by a chance? You've made the similar face my friend made.."
