I'm Dating My Cold Professor

Chapter 15

I stood up and walked away from him. I had the urge not to cry while walking but my tears failed me. They keep coming down my face.

“Juvia!” I ignored him.

“Juvia, wait!” He shouted. Why is he still chasing me? I thought he said no. And no means rejection. He confuses me so much.

I wanted to run but my feet don’t have the energy to move.  By that, he was able to catch up on me. He held my wrist and turned me around to look to him. But I shove his hand so hard that he let go.

“Juvia!” he shouted and held my wrist again.

This is just frustrating!

“What do you want, Gray?” I shouted at him. I can’t help myself. His eyes widened and his face becomes pale. “You said no to me, Gray. Why are you still following me? Why are still here?”

“W-What?” He sounded frustrated.

“Why do you confuse me so much?” I said having a hard time to say it because I’m sobbing. This is embarrassing.

He just stood there. He looked at me in shocked. And I can’t help but to be still amaze in his handsome face. Even if I’m mad at him, I still manage to give him remarks. This is really frustrating.

“You kissed me last night and I didn’t say anything. I didn’t say no!” I sobbed. He’s still standing there like a rock. “And now that I’m the one who kissed you, you say no to me? Why?! I thought…”

I couldn’t continue what I said because I’m having a hard time to speak. I can’t understand him at all. I turned around to stop this nonsense. This is crazy. I am in love with a man who keeps confusing me. I started to walk away again. I wiped my tears. I must stop myself from having these emotions. Ugh!

“Juvia, wait! No! That’s not what I meant…” He said as he held my wrist again. “Please,”

I turned to look at him again. “Then what is it?!” I sounded so frustrated. Why are you confusing me, Gray? “You are confusing me. Every time! Sometimes you’re so cold at me. Sometimes, you treated me so special. You say those words like I’m important to you then the next day I feel like I’m nothing to you. And now, today, I have the courage to tell you I’m in love with you yet you say no to me!” I took a deep breath, “I don’t understand you.”

I narrowed my eyes on him, waiting for him to say something. “You always confuse me. I can’t understand you. Maybe I can’t remember anything, but I definitely feel something for you!”

“No, maybe it’ just an attraction, Juvia.” He said.

And that made me angrier. Ugh! Why is he underestimating me? He belittles my feelings. I shoved my hands once again. There’s fury in my eyes right now. And I’m not sorry for yelling at him. He is really frustrating.

“NO! Maybe you’re the one who’s infatuated! That’s why you keep telling me no!” I walked away again. This is mad. This is crazy. This love is crazy.

“No, baby, no.” He hugged me from behind. It was so tight that I couldn’t breathe anymore.

“I’m sorry.” He buried his head on my neck. It made me shiver. And by that time, my anger melts. How does he do that?

“I’m sorry for confusing you. Please, don’t be mad. I didn’t say no because I didn’t love you.”He explained. He turned me around to look at him. I followed. He held both of my hands.  I could see softness in his eyes. And like my magic, my frustration fades away.

“Then what is it?” I narrowed my eyes on him. I waited for him to answer but he just pulled me back to where we are sitting earlier.

“Don’t you run away from me like that again, Juvia.” He sighed as we sat in the shade by the tree. “I know you’re confused. And I’m sorry for making you feel that way.”
