Chapter 36: Thank you
Zein's Point of View....
It's been a few days since Matt confessed to me. Nothing changed, we are still what we used to be. No awkwardness between us, in fact, we even became closer. Our other friends also know what happened because they were eavesdropping on us.
"Look who's coming, baby," Jerome said in a chant tone.
I looked behind me where I could see Supremo walking with his hands in his pocket, with... Angel.
I just turned my gaze back to my friends. They are smirking like a shit. What's wrong with them?!
"Can I join you guys?" Asked a voice like an angel's.
Why not?
I felt Supremo sit beside me and I also felt his dissolving gaze, I also know his forehead is furrowed. I also know he's asking why I didn't pay attention to him. I know you so well, Supremo.
"Sure!" Matt said to Angel and even pulled a chair for her.
I looked at Supremo when he nudged me. His eyebrows were furrowed and his mouth was slightly open.
"What?" I asked him coldly.
He cleared his throat before glancing at my plate full of vegetables. Here we come again.
"I would love to bring you bermuda grass if you would just tell me."
Oh Men! He is really a dictator!
"What do you care?" I snapped.
I just bowed my head when I realized that everyone was looking at me.
"Ah, Supremo? Zein is on a diet." Jerome said laughing. "She always eats vegetables. I don't even know if she's getting enough nutrients. You should tell her off." He added.
I raised an eyebrow at Jerome. "I'll handle this one." Vanessa excused herself before pulling Jerome's shirt out of the cafeteria.
I winced when I caught a glimpse of the serious Supremo. He's really scary when he's serious. I know he's holding back from yelling at me and I almost want to praise Jerome for what he said.
"We have to go," Mia and Dave also said their goodbyes, holding hands.
UGH!
"Uh, Angel? Do you want to take a walk first?" Matt invited Angel.
"There's no place to walk here." I answered.
"There is. In the park." Matt answered back.
"That's not a place to walk so it's better if you just stay here," I suggested because I didn't want to be left alone with Supremo. I feel like he's going to eat me.
Okay?
"Ah sure!" Angel happily agreed. Matt took Angel's bag and carried it for her.
Why doesn't he do that for me? Why did he do it for Angel? Friendship over!
"Matt!" I yelled but he didn't pay attention to me anymore.
I was about to stand up when Supremo spoke. "Will you sit down or will I tie you to me?" He asked.
I thought about what I should choose and almost wanted to answer 'Tie me, Supremo.' Instead, I just sat down again.
"Look at me." He commanded coldly.
I feel like if I don't obey him, it's a sin and I don't want to be a sinner.
My throat dried up as I looked at him. I matched his deep stare. "You're skinny." He said, making my jaw drop.
"Fuck you."
"Zein Shion!" He threatened.
"I am sexy!" I protested. I don't know what Supremo's basis for sexy or not is and he told me I was skinny.
What does he want? A giant?
"The truly sexy one is Angel."
My jaw dropped at what he said and I slammed the fork on the table and pointed it at him.
"Take back what you said!" I said with irritation.
Aba! I can't let Angel be the sexy one for him. DUH! My body is international standard. Supremo must be blind.
"Why would I?" He said laughing. "Angel is sexy because she eats fatty foods." He said with a smirk.
I slammed the fork I was holding down and called a waiter.
"May I know your ord-"
"Give me all the dishes with pork, chicken, beef, carabao, goat, dog, cat- Elephant!" I said annoyed.
The waiter's jaw dropped at what I said. "Move!" I yelled so he quickly left.
"Hahahahaha."
My mouth was pouted in annoyance as I looked at Supremo who was almost dying from laughing. Die already.
"Watch me." I even pointed my eye to his eye.
A moment later all the food I ordered was served and I almost backed away from the amount of it.
"I'll watch you, Zein." Supremo said with a smirk while his arm was resting on the table and his head was resting on his arm.
I swallowed and almost threw up on the first bite alone.
"I don't want to anymore!" I surrendered. I've eaten a lot and I'm a bit annoyed by Supremo's gaze.
I smirked at him while showing that I was rubbing my full stomach. "Fatty foods really taste good." I boasted.
"Damn! So adorable!" Supremo cursed while smirking at me.
"Am I sexy now?" I asked.
"I'll tell you later. I'm going to eat first." He took the spoon I used and used it. I winced. "There are a lot of spoons." I said shyly.
"There are a lot but you used this one." He answered innocently while chewing. "And... It gives more taste using the same spoon you used." He added.
"Ha-Ha-Ha." I pouted supposedly at what he said even though I was almost quivering with excitement.
"Do you believe in indirect kiss?" He suddenly asked.
"I don't."
I just watched him eat. He was enjoying the greasy food so much. "Too much grease is bad." I reminded him.
He just nodded and didn't look at me. Annoyed, I hit his head with a plate. "Aww." He rubbed his head with his eyes closed.
Eh?! Why is he acting cute? Hmmp!
"That hurts, you know!" He yelled, annoyed.
"Too much grease is bad. You might get heart disease." I reminded him.
"You hurt my heart more than greasy food. Just seeing you makes me want to run towards you. Look!" He took my hand and placed it on his chest where his heartbeat was strong. "See." He said with a smirk.
I secretly smiled. Doesn't he know that what he's doing is heartwarming? Innocent!
"You might want to remove your hand."
I turned pale when I realized he had already let go of my hand, but I still hadn't removed my hand from his chest, so I quickly took it away.
"I told you. You can look at my body, but I didn't say you could touch it."
Eh! Nemen eh! Fuck you!
"You're the one who made me touch it!"
"Sus. Let's go!"
I stood up and waited for him to get my bag and carry it like Matt did for Angel.
"What are you waiting for?" Supremo asked, standing at the cafeteria exit.
Annoyed, I grabbed my bag and followed him. Doesn't he know gentleman moves? Matt even carried Angel's bag!
Tungunu! (Damn!)
"What's with that face?" Supremo asked me with a frown.
"A beautiful face." I replied rudely and walked ahead of him.
He laughed as he followed me. "You're really bipolar." He said.
"Thank you."
"That's not a compliment."
"Thank you."
"Huh?! What are you talking about?!"
"Thank you!"
He pulled my hand causing me to stop walking. He faced me towards him. His forehead was already wrinkled.
Ahal Easily Annoyed!
"Thank you." I repeated. His grip on my hand tightened so I secretly smiled.
Hahaha.
"I don't understand. Why do you keep on sayin-"
"Thank you."
"Damn!"
"Thank you."
"Zein Shion!"
"Thank you."
"You are sexy."
"Than- Huh?"
"Nothing." He walked ahead so I quickly caught up with him.
I know he said something. I clearly heard it but I want him to repeat it.
"What did you say?"
"Thank you."
I just stomped my feet in frustration that he was copying my way of teasing.
"Ih! Supremo!"
"Thank you!"
"Waah!"
I was about to turn when he suddenly pulled me and trapped me in his wide arms.
"You don't need to be sexy. If I have to make you fat and ugly so that others won't look at you, I will do it. Damn, Zein. You are driving me crazy. And I must say...Thank you."
