Picture Me & You- The Perfect Two

7. How far can I chase You

The air inside the car was too quiet.

"Emm.... you wanna hear some music?"
But one glance at Rome's face and pulled back his stretched hand, gulping.

Pick could've never imagined what the angry Rome looked like. He was just sitting there quietly but still emitted the aura of a person possessed by a demon. He was cursing himself for his stupidity, smacking his own head in frustration. But the quiet was killing him. He took a deep breath and decided to talk to him. It's Rome after all. He'll get over it. But how wrong he was.

"Rome loo--"

"Pease keep your eyes on the road"

Pick was taken aback by his tone.

"Rome! I.... I'm sorry, I--"

"It's okay"
Same flat tone.

"Rome...."
Pick was shocked to hear his own voice pleading with the younger guy.

"You wanted to eat right? Let's go"

"Rome I just wanted to talk to you"

"Am I stopping you. You can eat, you can talk, you can do poll dance if you want. But please be quick. I don't think I'll be able to entertain you much"

"Don't say that!" Pick rolled his eyes.

"Okay"

"A-okay emm... w-what will you have hah? L-let's have w-whatever you want na"

"Not hungry. Have whatever you like"

"A.... then what else? Tell me na? We'll do what you want"

"What I want? Fine... drop me by the side here"

"What?"

"You said whatever I want"

"Huhh right.... seriously? But I wanted to spend some time with you"

"But the last I remember, I annoyed the shit out of you. Whatever just.... I told you be quick. And you don't need to ask me what I want"

Pick turned to stare at the steering wheel for some time and decided to take Rome somewhere fancy, expecting his mood to get better. But the younger guy remained quiet and expressionless the whole time. They kept quiet the whole way to Rome's house. Pick was quite stunned at the treatment he got. But he couldn't just let Rome go like that. He held his hand to prevent him from leaving.

"Are you planning to talk to me anytime soon? Just let me know and don't expect me running after you to get your mood back to normal"

Rome sighed deeply and for first time since they got in the car, he turned to face Pick.

"Did I tell you to do anything for me? I never asked you for anything"

"Good then stop acting like an angry girlfriend"

Rome laughed bitterly.

"Don't worry. I know exactly what I am. It's you who needs a reminder. YOU need to stop acting like an over possessive boyfriend. Stop thinking that you own me"

"What? What the shit are you saying?"

"You heard me. Stop acting like a jealous bastard"

He calmly turned to get out but Pick held him back by his collar.

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR F*CKING MIND?"

"Nope. Not anymore. Now let go of me"

"Rome. Please. Shut up"
Pick looked like he'd hit Rome if he didn't.
