Chapter 46: You’re The First Girl I’ve Brought Here
[I'll see you after your exams.]
I rolled my eyes, knowing that it was from Ash. I sat down, opened the snacks, and ate them. My plan to study earlier was immediately forgotten because of the food in front of me. Eating sweet foods makes me happy... and I hope that this feeling will last longer.
But it didn't.
IT'S already four o'clock in the afternoon, but I'm still here at one of the huts in the university. I was just glad that no one's here.
I can't go home looking like this. My eyes are swollen from crying. It's been a while since I cried because of that fucking subject, but it seems like my tears are never-ending.
ver thought the exams were so effin' hard. I studied, but I still couldn't answer the problems in the exam properly. Could I even reach the quota grade at this point? "You look horrible."
"Fuck!" I almost jumped on my seat when someone talked to me. "Ash? What are you doing here?"
"I should ask you the same question. What are you doing here?" he asked me, and he raised an eyebrow upon seeing me crying. "Who made you cry?"
"My exams," I honestly said. I don't want him to misinterpret things. "Leave me alone, will you? I need to be alone."
He smirked. "Well, I don't want to."
Ash grabbed my hand and pulled me up. Causing me to protest and pull my hand away from him.
"Relax. I won't bite you... unless you want me to," he teased, causing me to roll my eyes. "But if you don't really trust me, use this."
He gave me a... pepper spray?
I chuckled as I played with the bottle in my hand. Does he think I'm the type to spray this on him if he does something bad to me?
Well, if that's the case, then he's not wrong.
"Where will you take me?" I asked, but this time, in curiosity.
"I don't want my girl to be sad alone. I'll accompany you whether you like it or not." He came closer to me and whispered in my right ear. "Where would I take you? You'll know later."
When I was young, my mom always told me not to go with just anyone, especially if I didn't really know them well.
I didn't know anything about Ash except for his name, his financial status, and how a good kisser he is.
But what am I doing now?
"I don't even know why I'm following you right now," I said to Ash as we reached the parking lot, and Ash gave me a white helmet to wear.
Even though I didn't know how to fasten this helmet, I could tell it fit me perfectly. I couldn't figure out how to adjust the strap on this helmet, though.
"It's because you like me back, and you trust me," he said confidently as he adjusted the strap of the helmet I was wearing. "All I did was to protect you. Even though I could, ver did anything to harm you. There's no way you wouldn't trust me."
"Is this what you do with your other girls too?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You sound like a jealous girlfriend. Fuck, I love it," Ash suddenly said, stifling his smile.
Tsk. I was just curious if he put this much effort into getting the girls he wanted.
I shook my head. Why was I curious, anyway? It's not like we had something between us. I knew what I was getting into. I was playing with fire, but I was guarding my heart at the same time.
No one can hurt me.
"You're crazy." I glared at him.
After he finished adjusting the helmet on my head, I was about to move away but he grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him. I almost crashed into his chest.
I was about to curse him, but I couldn't open my mouth as I saw how intently he was staring at me.
"I only want you, Sapphire. Why would I do this to others if you're the only one I want?" he asked as he gently caressed my arm. "The other girls come to me, but I'm the one who keeps bothering you even though you've pushed me away. See the difference? I lowered my pride just to be with you."
"Why?" was all I could ask before I took his hand and removed it from holding me.
"Even if I wanted to answer that question, I don't know how to." He ruffled his hair slightly. "I don't have any reasons to like you, Sapphire, because if I had, I could have gotten rid of them in the first place."
I blinked my eyes twice because of what he said. I couldn't believe this is how he looks when he's frustrated. It even added to his appeal now.
"Now, ride me, Sapphire," he said in a playful tone as he raised a brow, wiggling it a bit.
I Immediately punched him in the arm, causing him to wince.
"I mean, ride my motorcycle, fuck," he corrected while gently rubbing his arm where I had punched him.

I got on his motorcycle and held his waist.
He really does think like Haze. If he teases me like that again, he'll share Haze's fate when the time comes.
I just let Ash decide where we will go on our entire ride. And I was shocked upon seeing the place where he brought me.
"This is..."Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
"The place where we met for the second time," Ash said, finishing my sentence.
The garden.
I finally appreciated the beauty of this place because it was still bright. It didn't look like an abandoned place in daylight.
"Why are we here?" I asked him, puzzled.
"If it isn't obvious, let me explain it to you." He turned to me after parking his motorcycle. "This is our garden, and I was always here, waiting for you. When you came here, I was watching you using that." He pointed at the CCTV camera near us. It was hanging on a post, so I didn't notice it right away.
"This is your house?" I asked in a confused yet amused tone as I stared at the mansion in front of me. I only noticed it now.
"You're the first girl I've brought here," he said to me before holding my hand. "Or to be precise, you brought yourself here the second time I saw you."
That's right. Even now, I still don't know how I ended up in this place when I was just walking that night.
