"What will it be this time?" I asked the moon with a sigh and sat down with my feet dangling off the cliff. As usual, I got no response.
I wasn't sure if the moon was holding back it's tongue on purpose to torment me, or if it was just as confused a...
"Baby!" I immediately shouted against my own will.
This better fucking work.
The group of guys and the girl quickly looked over at my direction. The guys furrowing their eyebrows while letting go of the girl's arm.
I didn't bother to look at them as I walked past the the group of guys while I felt their eyes lingering onto me like madmen. I brushed past them and to the girl. I swung my arm around her shoulder and looked into her eyes.
Damn.
We were so close. Her eyes were so big and round. So full of wonder and so mysterious. The tiny nose looked even tinier up close. Her lips tinted a rosy pink as she left it agape, staring up at me. I almost blew my cover when I hesitated.
"Uh-Uhrm, sorry I'm late babe." I nervously smiled and managed to muster up a few words.
She widened her eyes at my comment. I gripped her shoulder and slightly tugged my head at the guys without them noticing, motioning her to follow along.
She paused for a second before her eyes grew smaller as she smiled.
"It's okay baby," she replies back and suddenly kisses me on the cheek.
I was taken aback by her sudden action. I expected her to just pull me away but instead she does something out of the blue like this?? I'm high key confused.
What is this woman..
For a while I felt my heart stop. Or did it beat even faster? I slowly felt my face heat up. I gulped and looked away, trying to hide the fact that I was blushing.
After regathering myself and my thoughts, I cleared my throat before staring right into one of the guy's eyes.
"Let's go pumpkin," I told her and flung her body close to mine, walking away from the group.
Looking back to see if we were out of their sight, I let out a big breath.
"That was close," I huffed out. After noticing my arm still attached to her shoulder, I nervously chuckled and went with the flow, still not detaching our bodies that were tightly glued together.
"Yah, you almost got raped if it wasn't for me," I jokingly commented.
I stayed silent as I waited for her to reply. Instead, I noticed a tear roll down her cheek.
"W-wha.." I mumbled as my arm was still bent over the air as if there was still a person resting under my arm. My eyes followed her as she crouched down and began weeping.
She took deep breaths, in and out, but somehow it seemed so forced. Like she had trouble breathing because she was sobbing too much.
My body turned sour as I slowly crouched down next to her. My only guess was that she was terrified of the scene earlier with no way to let out her emotions.
I hesitated to put my arm around her again. I noticed her shivering and the wind was at fault. And maybe also all the things I've seen her go through these past couple of days.
Like a reflex, I instantly took off my outerwear and wrapped it around her shivering figure. While wrapping her with it, I pulled her into a hug.

"Shhhshh" I tried calming her as I caressed her lightly. She sobbed into my chest and at this point I didn't know what else to do but keep going.
"It's okay now.." I whispered into her head and like a light switch, she stopped crying. And I stopped caressing her. I looked down to see her face but she instantly and all of a sudden pushed me off of her and my ass landed on the cold cement.
She stood up and stormed off with my sweater around her upper body, leaving me dumbfounded on the ground.
