The Gifted 7

☆Chapter 5☆

~Jaebeom's Pov~

"Alright.I'll go out with you,but just as friends,got it?" I said accepting her offer.

"Okay,let's go!" She said.

We got in my car and I started driving.

While driving I saw the boys together with the girls having fun and laughing.

I was glad to see them happy.

We went to a restaurant and got seated in a table that Annabelle chose near the window.

We were waiting for one of the waiters to come and take our order, when I saw Sabina heading to our table with a fake smile on her face.

I guess she's working in this restaurant as a waitress and I must say she looks hot in that uniform.

She stood in front of us and said:

"Good evening,sir and madame! I'm going to be your waitress for the night. Have you decided on what would you like to order yet?"

At that moment I felt Annabelle link her fingers with mine.

'Okay,this was becoming awkward.'

I don't like Annabelle in a romantic way.

I never did,but she seemed to like me that way.

I was about to say something to Sabina, but the glare she gave me made me stop and then a smirk appeared on my face.

'Why is she glaring at me like that?'
'Is she jealous!?'
'I'll try to tease her so I can know for sure.'

I took Annabelle's hand in mine and gave it a gentle kiss while still smirking.

Sabina looked like she wanted to kill her in that instant, but decided otherwise and she just cleared her throat.

I guess she's waiting for an answer about what we're going to order.

I never expected Annabelle to stand up, slap Sabina and say:

"Do you have to be so rude you lowlife looser? Can't you see that we are busy?! I want to speak to your manager. You..." she said to one of Sabina's coworkers: "...bring me your manager here now. How can they hire such rude people like you? You don't deserve to work here. You don't deserve to work anywhere for that matter."

I was getting angry,she has no right to talk to Sabina like that.

I could see that Sabina was angry as well, so I'm guessing in order for her to calm down and not create a scene,
she closed her beautiful eyes.

"Open your eyes and look at me when I talk to you?" Annabelle screamed at her.

I was worried about her.

I noticed she had calmed down a bit and then she opened her eyes just in time to see Annabelle getting ready to slap her again,but this time I stopped Annabelle from hitting Sabina by grabbing her hand.

I was not going to let Annabelle slap the girl I was in love with a second time.

'Wait,what?'
'How can I be in love with Sabina?'
'I just met her today for the first time.'
'Now I'm gonna end up having a serious heartache if she doesn't like me back.'

I snapped my focus back to the scene in front of me,realizing that I was still holding Annabelle's hand.

"What do you think you're doing Annabelle? Remember you're place and stop acting like a spoiled brat."

I told her harshly,then turned to everyone and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen! I'm really sorry you had to witness a scene like this. I hope you enjoy the rest of your dinner in peace."

Then I faced Sabina:

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience..."
I said and raised my hand to touch her red cheek from the slap, but then I changed my mind and lowered it on the side of my body where I fisted it and continued talking:

"...we'll be taking our leave, now please if you excuse us."

That's all I said and left the restaurant together with Annabelle.

After that small incident I decided to send Annabelle at her house.

I was so upset, so stressed and angry to the point that I wanted to break something, but I was able to control myself.

Annabelle tried to talk to me the whole drive, but I cut her short:

"You've done enough damage for today, just stop trying to talk to me will you?!!"

We reached her home and I left her in front of the gate, before driving away.

This time I headed for the restaurant again.

I wanted to make sure that Sabina was alright.

By the time I arrived there,it was already closing time.

I saw her getting out of the restaurant and as I got ready to get out of my car and go talk to her, I stopped when I realized that she was walking to her car while silently crying.

'Now I feel worse then when I left her to take Annabelle home.'

I followed her to make sure she didn't have an accident.

She drove home and as soon as I made sure that she was safe,I left and went at the dorm.

There the members were talking happily with one another and when they saw me looking all angry and upset they asked:

"Jaebeom,what's wrong? Did something happen?"

They were worried about me,so I told the guys what happened in the restaurant and they decided to help me win Sabina's heart, even though I knew it was going to be difficult.

After that, I headed to my room where I got greeted by my cats and while petting them, I just couldn't stop myself from thinking of all the things that occurred today and my heart hurt so much when I remembered her crying like that.

Because of today's events I made a promise to myself to always try to make her happy, make her smile and try to protect her from everything and everyone that threatened to destroy that.

I hope you like it.Until the next chapter I'M 1 OUT 😄.
