Chapter 9

Zayd POV

I hear loud, rapid knocking on my door, I quickly get up and look through the peephole. What the fuck is e doing here? I open the door.

"Jaxxon?" I ask.

"Man, what's wrong with you? First, you don't answer your phone calls. You call me saying that you're looking for a "dead girl" in Tokyo. Then you hang up before I can even respond." He complains while striding into my room.

"How did you even get here?" I ask.

"Don't you dare change the subject, we are talking about Valencia. He huffs, while crossing his arms.

"I don't get it, what made you come all the way here to look for he-" He begins.

I cut in, "I found her, Jaxxon."

"What?" He widens his eyes.

"I said I found he-" I repeat.

"I know that, I'm asking how did you find her? She's alive?" He asks with a shocked face.

"I bumped into her while I was grabbing something to eat."

"So you just randomly bumped into her while grabbing something to eat? Wow, that's not shocking." He deadpans.

Rolling my eyes, "Yes, I-"

"Well, is she at least pretty?" He asks seriously.

"No man, I'm just following an ugly girl around Tokyo." I reply sarcastically.

Suddenly loud knocking comes from my door.

"Damn Zayd! you got hella girls." He says jokingly as he waks over to the door."

"You will not believe who I just saw-" Jisoo says as she stops to turns her head and sees Jaxxon.

"Oh, I see you already know." Jisoo says quietly.

"Yeah clearly, what are you even doing here?" Jaxxon says, rudely rolling his eyes.

Valencia then steps in the room. Jaxxon widens his eyes at the sight of Valencia, I immediately narrow my eyes at him. Watching him carefully, as he introduces himself to Valencia.

"Well I can definitely see why Zayd's got his eye on you." He says raising an eyebrow. I glare at him, as he nudges me.

Valencia quickly glances at me awkwardly and turns back to him.

"I don't think my sister would like you complimenting other girls, especially me." She says raising a brow, as I chuckle.

Jaxxon lowers his head, "Noted." He says, as he closes his lips together.

Valencia walks over to my bed and looks up to Jaxxon staring at her.

"What?" She asks.

"No offense, I barely know you but are you planning to tell your parents. That you've been faking your death this entire time?" Jaxxon asks.

She looks down with a blank expression.

"No, I'm not planning on going back home. But I will probably will tell them about faking my death soon." She says.

The room turns quiet, as the tension becomes awkward.

"Anybody, wanna go to the gym then?" I ask, breaking the tension.

"I can't, I have work to do so I gotta leave." Jisoo says, waving her hand.

"I'm down." Valencia says excitedly with a little jump.

Jaxxon also nods his head in approval.

"I'm not wearing any workout clothes though." Valencia says, pointing to her jeans and blouse.

"You can wear my clothes." I say.

"Alright." She says with a smile.

Grabbing a black shirt and pair of shorts, I hand it to her. She stands awkwardly, while we stare at her awkwardly.

"Well, aren't you going to leave?!" she says narrowing her eyes.

"Oh sorry!" Jaxxon and I both shout, as we leave the room.

While waiting out in the hallway, Jaxxon nudges me.

"You should ask her out on a date, I can feel the tension." He whispers loudly.

"Shut up man, she'll hear you!" I whisper, as the door opens.

Valencia walks out with my shirt tied up into a crop top and shorts rolled up around her waist fitting perfectly. I couldn't take my eyes of her.

"You're staring, man." Jaxxon whispers with a nudge.

I quickly look down quickly and cough as Valencia chuckles.

"Alright. Lets go." I say, as we make our way to the gym.

Entering the gym, Jaxxon and I begin our usual warm up. As Valencia starts stretching and doing some yoga poses in another corner. I narrow my eyes at a buff guy, who keeps eyeing her while picking weights and purposely flexing his muscles.

I walk up to Valencia, and glare at him. He notices and raises his hands up defensively and turns the other way.

I walk back to Jaxxon as he holds a smirk on his face and has his arms crossed.

"Don't even say it." I glare.

We continue our workout and Valencia joins us. After finishing, we walk around and grab protein smoothies then return to the hotel.
