Addictive Romance [Yuyan X Jiaqi]

05

A week has passed with Jiaqi trying to ignore Yuyan. Every time the latter tried to pry Jiaqi to talk, she would end up failing. The only scenarios where they could have a conversation was when they had to discuss for answers for school work.

And as more time passed, Yuyan had also been going around with more girls. Even Xueer was getting worried about her as it wasn't normal for Yuyan to be that reckless with her decisions. Without fail, every time she came back to class, she would have messy hair, smudged lip stick, partially unbuttoned top and sometimes a few hickeys.

Jiaqi hated that she had to sit next to Yuyan. She hated that the person seated next to her likes breaking others' hearts. She resented that she would have to endure the smell of sex every time classes begun right after lunch, it made her want to gag. That was the main reason why she was avoiding Yuyan regardless whether she hated socialising.

It was only until Yuyan couldn't stand Jiaqi's treatment--treating her like she was invisible. It hurt her much more than when girls slap her in the face so hard that it leaves handprints for a few hours. No matter what, she was determined to find out why Jiaqi was completely avoiding her.

On a Friday afternoon right after classes had ended, Yuyan took this opportunity and grabbed onto Jiaqi's delicate wrist before she could leave the classroom. While she struggled, the taller bit her lip in doubt. She didn't know what to say now that she had her. Deciding to go head straight to the point, she gazed right into her eyes and questioned.

"Why are you avoiding me? So obviously that you're not even subtly ignoring me."

Jiaqi's eyes darted everywhere except Yuyan's eyes as she remained silent, still struggling out of her vice like grip. Minutes passed with Yuyan staring straight at the flustered short haired girl. Silence was only interrupted when Yuyan's phone rang loudly, slightly shocking the two.

However, Jiaqi quickly took this chance and slipped right out of her grip, heading straight for the door. Instantly cursing under her breath, Yuyan clenched her jaw and swiftly blocked the entrance before her strong arms came into contact with Jiaqi's body.

Carefully wrapping her arms around the latter's waist, Yuyan easily lifted Jiaqi off the ground and gently yet roughly pinned her against the desk. The whole time the other was trashing around trying to escape and whining at Yuyan, wanting her to let go.

"Is it that hard to answer a goddamn question?" Scanning her face anxiously as if she was searching for answers, Yuyan then locked eyes with Jiaqi. Their faces were so close that the bottom had no where else to look but right at Yuyan. With one arm around her waist to shield her from the sharp edges of the desk and the other trapping her by the sides, Yuyan narrowed her eyes. Patiently, she waited.

"I-I just don't like you."

As Jiaqi maintained eye contact, she could feel her heartbeat slightly pick up pace. It then begun beating even harder and faster when she stared deeper into those star lit eyes. They had magical like sparkles in them as the luminous shade of black and brown complimented each other well. Somehow, they told a deeper story too. Soon enough, Jiaqi found herself lost in Yuyan's mysterious and truthful eyes.

"You're not perhaps jealous because of my so called bad attitude right?" With each word lacing with cautious, Yuyan hesitatingly looked back into her eyes after shifting her attention from her lips. She had gotten distracted and now the urge to close the gap between the two was getting to her head.

Snapping out of her trance, Jiaqi nervously bit down on her lip as fear invaded her. She hated her fast heartbeats, it made her feel even more anxious than usual. "W-what do you mean by bad attitu" As she trailed off when realised what the taller was talking about. Immediately, her anger and annoyance had taken over again. Blood rushed to her head.

"Stop with your stupid assumptions. You can kiss or have sex with anyone. I don't give a shit about whatever you do so stop pestering me. We're merely strangers, Yuyan. Give up." Venom dripped from her voice as she glared as hard as she could into her eyes. Yuyan didn't know how to react. Should she react to Jiaqi calling her by her name for the first time? Or when she said they were basically strangers? These 2 thoughts swarmed her mind.

Eyes still widened in shock and lips slightly parted, an amused smile slowly grew on her face as it replaced her taken aback expression, "You're one interesting girl."

She had a hush, comforting yet sexy voice as she whispered into her ears, sending shivers down her entire body. Jiaqi hated whenever that happens as it felt as if she was weak for her. Silence went by again with the staggered breaths of Jiaqi's and Yuyan's sharp gaze piercing right through her skull. The top sighed before gently stroking her rosy cheeks and tugging a strand of hair behind her ear.

"You know...If we're merely strangers, why not change that? I won't give up that easily on getting closer to you, you know that right?"

Jiaqi stared into her passionate and sincere eyes, not knowing what to say. She was left speechless. After all the avoiding and dissing this woman, she's still not giving up? I thought saying that would've worked! She was in a state of disbelief.

One week. One week had passed and these two were still stuck on the same page despite being seatmates. In that one week filled with awkwardness and unpleasant emotions, Jiaqi had thought Yuyan was one of the most annoying person she had ever met. However, today, she had thought Yuyan was one of the most annoyingly charming person.

The way her eyes glimmered when she had mentioned that last sentence, it was as if there were bonfires in her eyes. Flames of burning passion and sincerity reflected off her voice and gaze as the gentle breeze caressed her face. In Jiaqi's eyes, she seemed ethereal. Yuyan just seemed too perfect to be true.

The short haired girl knew that she would end up like the other girls, smitten and head over heels for Yuyan if she continued looking at this side of her. Unconsciously afraid to give in to temptation, Jiaqi could only look at the other side of Yuyan.

Despite thinking Yuyan was charming, Jiaqi still couldn't find the courage to communicate with her. And it might take a while until she actually opens up to the desperate girl.
