Hi, my name is Cassie McCarthy. I'm 21 years old. I have a gorgeous face, a stunning figure, a high IQ, a good job at a big company, a mansion, a pink convertible, a very understanding best friend, and an emotionless creep as my boyfriend. Yeah, my boyfriend is an emotionless creep. And no, it is not an exaggeration.

I'm Ryker Smith. I'm 22 years old. For me everything is perfect, the money, the looks, the brains, everything. Well, except for my obnoxious girlfriend. You see, my girlfriend is a spoiled, bossy, violent, over-acting, hot-headed, short-tempered person. And no, I’m not exaggerating!

C

I'm sitting across my boyfriend in 'who-cares-what-the-name-is' restaurant and no one's talking. Well, we're not talking 'cause we just had another fight. Ugh! I was the one who should be angry. Yes, I've beaten her secretary up but that was because they were flirting inside his office! But no! The monster denied it and dragged me here and said I was out of line. And now, he's angry at me. What the heck? He even defended her! Can you believe it?

Sure, my boyfriend is not the hearts-and-flowers type but he has NEVER cheated on me before. Why now?! His secretary is not even worth it! Damn her.

R

I can't believe it! Cassie had beaten my secretary up and for what?! No reason at all! Alex and I were just talking inside my office when she suddenly barged in then slapped, punched & kicked her (Told you she's violent!). I dragged her out before she could cause more bodily harm. That's the reason why we're sitting here inside a restaurant. We both need to calm down. God, I'm so angry I couldn't even speak! What the heck is her problem?! Sure, I'm not the perfect boyfriend but I've never freaking cheated on her! NEVER. And I've never ever thought about doing it either. What was she thinking?!

C

"Are you going to order or not? I'm starving. If you're not going to order for us, I might as well leave," I angrily said to him. Suddenly, he stood up. He took my arm and gently dragged me. We stopped in front of the counter. He let go of my arm and ordered food for us. Then again, the creep dragged me back to our table. I was confused and slightly hurt. He could have ordered for us alone. I thought he dragged me there to have my opinion about our food. I was gravely mistaken. He did not ask for any opinion at all. Why the need to drag me there with him? Ugh, what a big-headed bastard.

R

After some time Cassie finally spoke. We were both calm by that time. She was starving and so was I. We ordered food. Actually, I ordered for us. I just dragged her to the counter with me. When we got back to our table, I looked at her. I saw confusion and hurt in her eyes. At first I didn't understand then it dawned on me. She was waiting for an explanation. Why the need to drag her there when I didn't even ask for her opinion?

C

The food took thousands of years to arrive. I thought I'm gonna die out of starvation. I was still waiting for his explanation when the food came. I didn't ask him but I thought I made it clear that I want an explanation.

We were eating when I suddenly asked, "Why did you drag me to the counter a while ago? You could have ordered by yourself."

The only answer I got from him was "Hn". That and nothing more. What the? He's really, truly an emotionless creep! How infuriating!

R

"Hn," was the only answer I gave her.

She didn't ask another question. She stayed quiet for the rest of our dinner.

After several minutes, we finished eating. We stood up to leave then I pointed at something in our table. And guess what, I blushed. Yeah, I freaking blushed! What a shame to my family name! Smiths don’t blush. NEVER.

C

Since he didn't answer my question I stayed silent for the rest of our dinner. I don't want to talk to him. How dare he ignore me!

After finishing our food, we stood up to leave. Ryker pointed at something then blushed. My boyfriend BLUSHED. He rarely blushes! What in the world was he pointing at? I turned to look at the thing that caused him to blush.

He was pointing at the small note in our table. I felt the color rising in my cheeks as I read it. At that time, I was totally sure that Ryker Smith loves me. And I, Cassie McCarthy, feel the same way for him. :">

NOTE:

Don't leave your valuables unattended.
