Flowers From You

chapter thirty six

Amoret.

"Hey, hey", I called out while I dashed my way to the bus boy. He cocked his head to me with his tray full of plates on hand. "Where is the rest room of this place?", I prattled pressing my hands on my abdomen.

"Oh, just go behind the food stalls beside the garbage–"

"Thank you!", I injected rudely, then dart my way behind the stalls just like what he said. When I transverse my way there, I quickly saw four portable plastic public toilets and ran towards the first one I saw.

Opened it. Had a great time. And breathe with relief.

As I closed the door, someone on the other end closed theirs too with a thud. Though, when I glanced over, it was the person I least expected.

Payton.

"What do you want from her?", is the most menacing statement I ever heard in my entire lifetime. Just look him. Dead eyes that seems growling. Face of a lion lurking to his prey. If he is a cannibal, I'm sure he'll eat me whole.

And it was the worst idea to imagine.

I snuffed and fake a smile. "What are you saying, bro? I don't know what you mean", I said nonchalantly while regretting it on the inside.

Yeah, you don't really know what he meant, huh? Nice one, Payton.

He scoffed, "You didn't?".

I shook my head and casually opened the paper box meeting me with a sweet aroma of mushroom cheese burger and fries. As my saliva about to droop, I noticed him snickering. "Are you sure that you don't really know what I'm saying?"

I shook my head, almost trembling in his dark aura.

He smack the table, hard enough to leap me on my seat. Nearby people around us glanced on our area and caught his attention. He leaned to me, "If you don't put your ass away from her, you don't know who you're dealing with".

Amoret.

The red headed boy with his signature smirk was standing on the other side. His skin glows on me, burning me on one instant. I sighed, for the second time, why did I encountered a bullshit like him?

I don't want to cause any trouble or any harm. The boys were probably waiting for me. Instead of doing anything, I peacefully turn my back away from him. But then he called, "It's that the way you greet me babe?".

Something tweaks inside of me hearing that word 'babe' that seems insulting. I whirled around, and glowered. "What do you want anyway? Why are you following me?"

"You're really some bad ass you know", he said, not taking it as a compliment. He sauntered forward with his hands on his pockets.

"Answer the question", I demanded.

"What if I don't want to?", he claimed, leering his eyes on my body.

I stepped backwards, distancing myself from his. As far as I know, he's a jerk. And if don't get myself far from him, he might see himself falling his stupid face on the ground.

But not now, not now Amoret. It's your two guy friends' special day. You don't want it to be stained by this bad boy who only shows up in pocket books and stuff.

Yeah, right. Another point from the inner voice.

"Whatever the reason of why you were here in the first place, just leave it to yourself, okay? I don't want someone to ruin my day"
