CHAPTER 12

[Yasha Reese! Where the hell are you?] Aishi shouted on the other line. She's back to her dragon mood again. We have a photoshoot today and she knew I will definitely be late that's why she's warning me already.

"Yes, I'm on my way now," I answered while looking for a pair of my sandals. Truth is, I just got out from the comfort room and finished taking a bath just now.

[Make sure you are really on the way! I know you Yasha Reese Heuson. You're telling me you're on the way now wherein fact, you are still busy preparing yourself.] She spoke and I just rolled my eyes.

"I'm telling the truth here! I'm really leaving my condo unit now," I lied and sat in front of the vanity mirror.

[Fine! I'll wait you here.] 

When the phone call ended, I quickly prepared myself, put some light make up on my face, and curled my hair. Then I took my phone and my sling bag before I left my unit. Aishi will surely scold me. This is what I  hate the most when I have a shoot. Since she is my manager, I can't contradict her.

I quickly went down to the basement and got in my car. I was near the building's main entrance when the car suddenly stopped. Gosh! What is its problem?

I stormed out of the car and checked to see if there's something wrong but I found none. It was late for me to realize that I did not put gas yesterday. I just hit my head. This is so annoying! Why didn't I even notice that my gas was running low?

I shifted at my back when suddenly someone blew a horn there. Not once but twice. My phone also rang a few times so I just rolled my eyes in annoyance. Aishi's definitely the one who's calling and I'm pretty sure that she will scold me this time.

"You're blocking the driveway, woman." I just rolled my eyes when I heard who was speaking. Of all people, why it has to be that stupid guy?

I inhaled a large amount of air before I faced him.

"Blame the car. It's not working." I told him. I saw him shook his head in disbelief, maybe he's thinking I'm crazy here to put the blame in the car and it was vivid in his expression that he was just holding back the annoyance because I'm really blocking the way.

"Where are you going? I'll take you there." My lips parted and I looked at him intently. Is he volunteering? And he thinks I will ride in his car?

"Excuse me? You think I will ride on your car again? Thanks but no thanks." I bluffed. I even saw his jaw tighten but I just ignored him and took the things inside my car and continued walking, leaving my car there.

My phone rings for the nth time but I just put it in my sling bag. It's Aishi for sure. Aish!

Frustrated, I stomped my feet on the ground especially when I got out in the main gate of Sweet Havens. This is so annoying! To be honest, it weren't because of what happened last night, I might have hop in in Axis' car. It's just that I feel embarrassed. Darn.

Why did I assume that he was my stalker in the first place? I mentally scolded myself because of that. But hey, who wouldn't think that way if you notice someone following you? Tss.

I removed that thought in my mind. "There's nothing to be ashamed of Yasha! It's not your fault if you assumed that he was a stalker." That's right! That's right! I hit my head. Why am I even talking to myself?

I continued walking. Then I heard my phone rang a few more times so I end up answering it. 

"I'm on my way. It's just that the traffic caught me," I apologize to Aishi.

[You're making excuses again Yasha Reese Heuson! Go to studio now!] Aishi shouted loudly. I just rolled my eyes and resumed walking.

I already told her I'm on my way, why can't she wait me?

"I'll be there in—" I stopped speaking when I heard the loud horns of the cars and I just felt someone hug me from behind. I also felt how my phone fell and the next I knew, my body rolled on the road together with this person who hugged me. 

Things went fast, it's like it happened in just a blink of an eye. When I moved, I felt the excruciating pain in my left arm as well as in my hip.

With difficulty, I slowly opened my eyes and the cloud was the only thing I could see. I tried moving my head and I felt that it was rested on one arm.

I cried in extreme pain when I tried moving again. Then I heard another voice that groans in pain. I shifted my position and I difficultly turned my attention to that voice and my eyes widened. My chest suddenly throbbed in worry.

Shit. It's Axis.
