Indecisive

Chapter 41

"No. No, no. You can't ask me that." Glenn panicked and held on to me.

I looked at him dumbfound, curiosity got over me. "No? You don't want to, so you are rejecting me?" I lifted one side of my eyebrow in doubt.

He panicked even more, shaking my arms and eventually hugged me tight. "That was not what I meant. I'm supposed to be the one asking you that. I don't want you to be the one to approach me."

For the first time, I hugged him back. "I don't mind that. But I do mind if you do not reply to my question. It took courage."

Glenn pushed me back lightly and held my face with both hands. I felt my cheeks squished between them. "Yes, of course. It is only you or nothing."

I was really getting into the relationship mood but I realised my brother was still choking on to his coffee. I turned back to find him face red, sitting on the dining chair. "Clark? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, the coffee was just a bit too hot for me." He stood up slowly. "Congrats on getting together but please, no sex in the house."

I smacked him before he could say any further.

"Don't worry. Nothing is going to happen until after marriage. I hope." Glenn saw me rolled my eyes and laughed.

I ignored the two of them and went to the high seat to have my breakfast at the bar table. Glenn came over and wrapped his arms around my waist, which was an appropriate height for him. He planted a kiss on my cheek and placed his head on my shoulders. I was surprised and nearly hit him, but I turned my head and kissed him on the lips.

This is it. Glenn is now officially my boyfriend.

I watched the houses pass me by as Glenn drove passed them. We were sandwiched between the guards' cars, with the red BMW standing out.

Neither of us spoke, I wondered what we will see later at school. Come to think of it, I have an explanation to do later.

"Harley, what's going through your head?"

Glenn's deep voice startled me. "I was thinking how to explain to Wendy later."

He used his free hand and held on to mine. "I will be with you when you're explaining to her so you don't have to worry. Alright?"

I smiled and nodded. I'm sure he will be able to handle the situation better than I do. I should prepare myself to lose Wendy as a friend.

When we reached school, a group of reporters was crowding at the gates. The guards temporary parked outside the school gates and made way for us to enter. Some of the reporters managed to make their way through and came to question us.

"How do you two know each other?", "Will both your companies merge into one?", "When will the ceremony be?", "How long have you two known each other?", "What about Clark Levin?"

Questions after questions bombarding at us. Glenn gripped on my shoulders and led us through. The both of us were surrounded by our own guards, slowly carving a pathway for us to walk through the mass of hungry reporters.

All reporters were only allowed till the waiting area.

Glenn was still holding on to my shoulders when we passed the whole bunch of drama. I heard him laughed and I looked up at him. "Are you okay?" He asked while laughing at my shocked expression.

"How do you even handle this situation with ease?" I was looking at him intently with curiosity.

He pulled me closer towards him, I wrapped my arm around his waist. "I'm used to it. I've been surrounded by reporters since young. But you can't blame them, they won't even bother about us if it weren't for their jobs."

I have never seen this mature side of Glenn before. I'm glad I'm not engaged to a childish monkey.

Classes have already started when we were walking towards our classroom. The havoc wasted quite an amount of time for us. I pushed Glenn away and straightened myself before he opened the door to our class. He shook his head while laughing and gave me a light knock on my head. When the door opened, the class roared and the claps were the loudest ever.

Everyone, including Ms Rain, was glad to see us. "Let's welcome the couple of the century!" Surprisingly, she was the one shouting that.

I was at a loss of words to reply, I just wanted to rush back to my seat to hide from the embarrassment, only to realised my seat was gone. "Ms Rain? What happened to my seat?"

"From now on, you will be sitting next to your fiancé."

What?
