Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Jelle couldn't help but swallow while looking at the Tupperware she was holding with only a baked mac. She made it herself last night. She plans to give that work to Guji. Why? Because she wanted to at least try. What she was doing might be inappropriate but she didn't want to give up without trying. She did not want to give up lightly without even trying to fight somehow, without even saying what was in her heart even once.

Jelle knows that she is also the loser in the end, that she is the only one who will be hurt in the end. But Jelle wanted to take chances. She secretly loved Guji for five years. She feels that this love deserves to be felt by the right person.

She will not think about what other people will say. She'd do what she wanted to do, and that was to make Guji notice her existence in this world.

She will not snatch him. She just wants to feel his love. She just wants to somehow be able to recognize her feelings. She just wants Guji to know that Jelle loves him. She just wants ... she just wants to love Guji.

It's just hard because Guji has a girlfriend. Jelle is not doing the right thing and she knows that love is not a reason to be right or wrong. But ...

"You can do that, Jelle. Just hand it over to Guji and then you can leave," he said to himself. If only someone could see him, they would probably think he was losing his mind.

He is now standing on the edge of the open court. Their class ended earlier so Guji is now on the open court and preparing for his practice game. His girlfriend, Jill, was nowhere to be found. He did not know if he would be happy because his girlfriend was not there. Does he seem to still feel guilt for what he is going to do now.

"Is that what you brought for me, Jelle?"

He violently turned to the source of that voice. He did not realize that someone was close to him because he was too focused on thinking about Guji. Standing beside her was none-other than Reus himself. Reus was wearing his tennis uniform and she noticed the firm muscles on his thighs and arms. Probably a factor as to why they're doing so poorly.

Hala! Why do I care about Reus' muscles? Takte ka, self!

Even before he could answer Reus' question, he immediately snatched the Tupperware he was carrying. "Hey! Give that back to me!" he salted the man.

Reus just smiled and did not bear the evil he thought of it. He raised the Tupperware he was holding and because of his height he could do nothing but look at the man. Reus was so tall that he was almost towering her but she didn't feel intimidated or scared. Weird.

"Your sweet one, Jelle. Are you going to turn your attention to me? All right, I'm answering you right now. Kiss me," he said and smirked like a child.

Despite the annoyance he felt for Reus he could not help but smile at its silly antic. Jelle just hid the smile by looking at it badly. He didn't want her to think it was okay for him to mess with her because she cried in his arms.

Now, why did the thought of me being inside his arms seems so right? said a part of his brain. Eww.

He just shook his head and turned to Reus. "Where are you, Jarreus! That baked mac belongs to Guji so give it back!"

She did not know if it was just her imagination but the face of the man in front of her seemed sour. But maybe, it was really just her imagination because after a second, Reus was grinning from ear-to-ear while looking at her. He did not know why his heartbeat suddenly quickened as he looked at its smiling face.

Maybe he was just scared of whatever it was thinking. Yeah! Maybe that was it!

"Guji already has a girlfriend, Jelle. So he is off-limits. So this baked mac is now officially mine," he said then turned around. He even raised his free hand and waved at her.

The wind blew him away and counted up to ten in his mind. Maybe that's what he can do to this man. "Jarreus San Diego, if you do not return that to me when I count three, you will be really impressed with me! One!" he threatened the man.

It stopped walking. You seem to be slowly turning to him. If he hadn't been able to control himself, he might have been stunned by what he did. The way he turned around looked so ... fascinating? Err.

He shook his head to dismiss that thought. Now wasn't the right time to think inappropriate thoughts about this man. He should not be distracted especially since his gift for Guji is in his hand.

"I'm scared, Jelle. Pramis."

Her eyes narrowed at what he had said. He knew it was just fooling him because not a trace of fear was on his face its. But it still made him smile. His eyes were full of comfort as he looked at her.

"Two!" he continued and ignored what it said.

The man shook his head and stepped closer to her again. He did not know why but someone urged him to stay away from Reus but he seemed to be pushed to his stand at those times. It was as if he wanted to move his legs but he could not.

"Three," Reus continued and deliberately lowered his voice as if imitating him. What the! His voice is not that ugly, just an excuse!

Jelle was about to yell at Reus again without hesitation bowing and suddenly kissed him on the cheek. Her eyes literally widened because of what it did. In fact, his lips only touched his cheek so he should not be shocked too much. But this was the first time that a person kissed her, even just on the cheeks!

He could feel the redness on his face because of what Reus had done. He widened his eyes and looked wickedly. "Why the hell did you do that ?!"

The man grinned and seemed to have done nothing wrong because he was still able to tap the cheek he kissed. "It's my way of saying 'Thank You'. Cool, 'no?"

He was so angry and embarrassed and uttered a single blow. But Reus' reflexes were fast so it escaped his blow. He was even more annoyed because of that. Trembling, he just turned his back on the man. As he walked away he could still hear its amusing laughter.

"Pest!" he whispered in annoyance. He couldn't help but touch her cheek as Reus kissed her. Funny but it was as if she could still feel the warmth of his lips on her cheek. "Ah! That's just hallucination, Jelle! In short, hungry!"

Funny, he lost his mind about the baked mac he was supposed to give to Guji. Just because of that kiss, of Reus' kiss.
