I'm Dating My Cold Professor

Chapter 19

“Gray,” I said. We were in front of my house and he never said anything the whole ride. Levy and Lucy already went home. Of course, with Gray’s car. They never said anything to me.

And that what’s keeping me mad and confused.

I heard him sigh. Then, he turned to look at me. I waited for him to say something. And I know he was trying to speak too. He opened and closed his mouth as if he was confuse if he will tell or what.

“Who is that guy earlier?” I asked. “Why did we run away from him?”

“Juvia,” he sighed again.

“What is that Gray?” I asked, impatiently. I want to know now. I want to know.

But then, I can’t really get what I want. He moves towards me, closer until his face is close to mine. I thought he was going to kiss me. He didn’t. I heard a click and then I realize it was my seatbelt. He unlocked it.

If the timing and my feeling isn’t confused or mad, I would easily blush and melt in this seat. But in this situation, I couldn’t. He is gesturing that I should go home and I think he will said later that I should rest. Would my mind be at rest with what I just saw earlier? Of course, not. I just wanted to know who that guy ‘Lyon’ is and why they were running away from them. What is it that they tried to keep me away from him?

I held his hand when he moved away from me. “Gray, you can’t hide something from me again.”

“I know.” He said.

“Then, tell me what it is.” I said, desperately.

He sighed again. I saw how his jaw clenched. He rested his head on his seat. He seemed to be tired and frustrated.

“I can’t.” He whispered. “I can’t let him…I can’t let him near you, again.”

“Gray,” I looked closer to him. He closed his eyes tightly. I furrowed my brows. I keep telling myself that boys will open up as soon as they are ready for it. But the other half tells me that I should know right now. NOW. Even if it means that we will have a fight.

“I want to know it. What the hell was that? Why are we running away from him? What is it that I didn’t know? Why does he know me? Why can’t you let him near me?”

He didn’t answer me. He just rested his head and continued to close his eyes.

“Gray,”

He shook his head. “No, not this time, Juvia. I think you should rest for today.”

“I won’t leave your car until you said something to me.” I said, crossing my arms.

“Juvia, please don’t make this harder.”

I gasped. I looked at him with anger. “HARDER? HARDER FOR YOU? THIS IS HARD FOR ME BECAUSE YOU WON’T SAY ANYTHING!”

“Juvia,” He tried to calm me down.

“Don’t Juvia me! I know you’re a lot older than me but please act your age and tried not to hide something from me. Tell me what is hard. Tell me what it is. If this is hard for you, then we’re better off.” I opened the door and went out of the car.

“Juvia, that’s –“ I heard him but I slammed the door in front of him. I stomped in every step I took towards my house.

Then, I felt a hand grabs me. I know it was Gray. And it was really him. Looking dagger at me. I could be scared with his sharp stare right now but I am not.  I am angry too. I could almost felt the urge to punch him in the face right now.
