Chapter 6

Ylisha's Perpective

 "Turn right Mr. A, " I said. 

 "Mr. B, there's a table behind you, they are 6 men going in that direction, you can't fight them alone. Hide for a while under the table, be sure that the cover of the cabinet covered you well, " I commanded.

"Copy that, " said Mr. B as I lead them while watching the CCTV, that was hacked by our special agents. We talked using the small devices connected to their ears and necktie. For a moment, my only job was to lead them and not to fight, that was my father commanded. When I turned 18, my father explained his job. He said they were secret agents who kill wanted persons which was privately not announced to the public. Since their job is to kill them anyway.

But of course, some of them were not just a piece of cake as others, some of them were smart as we were. But for justice, I won't dare to give up even if their lives were on our hands. I lived for my father's belief, that as long as there are criminals out there who treat people like trash, they are not supposed to live. And I will assure you that none of them would survive.

 The fight was getting serious as I lead them, there were too many cameras. I could see everything that was happening in that place, I always made sure it would end up as we planned. Because I didn't want someone to get hurt.

The place heated up, and I see the people keep shooting each other.

"I'm sorry, but my men know your actions, I'm watching you, stupid criminals," I chuckled while leading my team.

I could see the blood all over the place. If only I could stop the sinful doings of people, then I was not supposed to be here, fighting and watching how the blood spread over those places.

The battle brutally continued, and of course, it ended successfully.

“Good job, Ylisha,” Mr. A smiled and tapped my back.

I grinned, “Thank you, sir, " I replied, and started to get ready.

“I'm late for my friend's special day” I muttered, and I hurriedly dress up. 

******Clench birthday********

(Clench's House) 

It was my first time to be here, I'm too nervous.

I still felt discomfort in crowded places.

“Come in, Ylisha, " Clench said as he opened the gate. He was wearing a black tuxedo, and his hair was really done so well as he was transformed into a different person. I couldn't believe it, I didn't see this side of him before.

“You look handsome, happy birthday! “ I said as I handed over my gift to him. 

“Thank you,” he instantly responded and smiled, then he introduced me to his parents. But something was odd when he introduced me to her mother, she was not the one who works in the café, it made me confused.

“Hey, what's wrong? " He asked,

I said, “nothing, " but he caught me staring at her mother.

“Oh, I guess, I know why," he said, smiling.

"She's my stepmother, and my biological mother is the one who works at the café back in our high school days, don't get confused, okay? “ He added and winked at me. Tsk, why winked at me?

“That makes sense now, " I said, and we both laugh. 

It's too crowded, his family starting to introduce themselves one by one at the front. 

"How I wish, my dad will do like this to me, but I understand he couldn't, his life is in his job, it will be dangerous for us, so, he needed to hide like criminals, but I'm glad I'm not hiding like him. "

"Hey, you alright?" Clench asked me as he handed over a glass of wine to me. 

"Yeah,” I answered, then an unfamiliar pretty girl came near us. 

" So, Clench your girlfriend is beautiful, I'm Anna, his cousin, " she said and straightly extended her hand. Both I and Clench looked at each other awkwardly, my cheeks turned red when I heard that girlfriend part. 

"I'm Ylisha, " I said in a very soft and comfortable voice, then I shook hands with her. 

"And I'm not his girlfriend, I'm his best friend, " I added, while I shyly smiled at her, awkwardly. 

"Oh, I'm sorry, " she said, and I chuckled and told her it's okay. Then Clench's stepmom stood up beside us and watched the crowded place. 

"Don't mind Anna," Clench whispered and I just laugh. Then my eyes widened in horror when he raises his hand, and I heard the music turned on, it is very romantic. 

"Ylisha, can I have this dance? " Clench said. My heart was pounding, what was this? His' smile made my heart fluttered again.

I didn't know if I'm going to take his hand, I felt nervous. His eyes were shining so bright, and I couldn't help myself, but to stare at them. His eyes were beautiful.

"Ylisha, would you like to dance with me? “ He asked again, this time the crowd was looking at me, I didn't want him to be embarrassed, I took his hand and I couldn't believe what's happened next, I'm dancing cheek to cheek with my best friend. My gosh! It was no big deal but I couldn't understand my heart, I could hear it like a ticking clock. My arms were wrapped around his neck while his hands respectfully holding my waist.

"I didn't know that my best friend is very respectful, " I chuckled as we kept dancing when he moved his head near me, my heart started pounding again. 

"What is this? " I muttered. 

"You're too busy, that's why you didn't notice, " he whispered in my ears and laugh silently. Tsssk. 

"Really, well, I hope you will understand me when I told you everything, " I said, then he looked at me curiously.

"It's okay, I understand, I'm willing to listen if you are ready," he said and smiled again, I felt relief to hear that. 

"Please don't smile, my heart is racing so bad, " I muttered while staring at him. 

"Thank you! " I said, and he suddenly pulled me closer to him. I was like a statue, I can't move my feet, I'm kinda’ blushing, I could feel it. 

"By the way your very pretty tonight, " he whispered again, which made me feel awkward. I don't know what to say, my heart still pounding, but he must not notice it, so, I smile and looked away not to get caught, then I noticed that the crowds' eyes are all over us, I feel shy. Well, maybe because he is the life and soul of this party. I looked back at him, our eyes met and I felt like I'm melting. 

"Hey, the music is done. "

"Ylisha, " the voice kept calling me as I came back to my senses. 

"Yes?" I quickly responded. 

"The music is finished. You can let go now, " Clench said, and I found my hands are still around his neck. “My gosh Ylisha!” I muttered and I quickly removed my hands. 

"My gosh,it's awkward!" I whispered.

"What?" he said.

"Nothing!" I said then he laughed. 

  The party is still going on, and I'm standing here alone while Clench is talking at his guests one by one, he is really a social butterfly, and it's turning me on but I'm a little bit sad thinking if I and him can possibly build a good relationship, not just being friends, but more than that. 

 “Haiisst, come on Ylisha don't stress yourself, go on! Just let your hair down for once and have a good time!” I said and have a couple of drinks. 

CLENCH'S Perpective

 The party is over, and Ylisha, hahahaha, she was drunk and fell asleep, my mom told me not to wake her and let her sleep in the guest room, so, I carried her there.

  "Stupid, you know you can't even stand 2 glasses of alcohol yet, you still drunk," I said as I cover her with a blanket.

I got a face towel and started to tap the towel softly on her face and neck, wiping them. 

"You're really drunk. " I chuckled.

 I just watch her sleeping. Her eyelashes are long and curved. Her cute nose suits her well. My heartbeat racing so fast.

"Why are you still cute when you're drunk and sleep," I said.

When she suddenly woke up and start throwing up, and oh my gosh, she really drunk too much. I hurriedly clean it up, and she fell asleep again, and she suddenly woke up again and tried to throw up, so, I hurriedly covered her mouth in panic. 

" Ylisha, wait, don't throw up, I'm going to get a pail, " I said and hurriedly run to get some pail and gave it to her. I helped her throw up and she did it over and over and over again. 

"Ylisha, this is disgusting! " I whispered, but I can't help myself not to laugh. I can picture her face, on how she will react tomorrow. Hehe, I giggled.
