Chapter 12

"Wow, that long?" he exclaimed.

I chuckled and said 'Yeah'

"That's no longer a 'crush' you're in love with that ice prince?!"

I giggled with the nickname he made up for Creed. 'Ice prince' huh, it's suits him.

"Sort of"

"Sort of? You're crazy! You liked that guy for four years and you're still not sure if you love him?" He couldn't believe.

It throb my heart, i like creed, so much. But i still couldn't completely fall for him, it's because of the game we're playing.

Push-and-pull. He's good with me hanging out with him, yet when i get the chance to express my feelings he will suddenly change. I can't blame him 'coz i get it, I'm like him too. The more you push, the more i pull.

But...

"One thing for sure, i like Creed Alexander" i whispered but that still caught Claude's ears.

He tsked. "You're unbelievable"

**

"You seems to be in hurry" Claude, when he noticed me taking up all my things, we used to rest for minutes first before going home but not right now.

"Yeah, i need to go somewhere" i answered.

I have to go to Yela's funeral. It's her last night, tomorrow they will bury her.

"See you, Claude" i said without looking back.

I was half running to reach the entrance when i arrived, i saw Creed's car was waiting.

Curiosity got me so i approached.

Even before i could knock on his windshield he opened them.

"Hop in" he said sternly.

I shook my head. "My driver's coming" 

his brows knitted. "Just hop in, i already called him"

My mouth parted, how did he got my new driver's number? Err, nevermind.

I did what he told me. "Thought Maze with you"

"She asked me to pick you up, she's been there since this morning" He informed.

Oh, so maze told him not because.... ugh, stop it Naya.

Through out the drive we didn't spoke after that. I didn't find the atmosphere awkward rather, calming.

A day in law school can drain you, so much than what you expect.

It takes one and a half hour before we could arrive at Yela's house. I didn't want to leave Creed alone but i really can't help not to sleep. I didn't got a proper rest last night and i woke up eight AM then stayed in school for the whole day.

I was getting used to it though i guess tiredness got me this time.

I felt someone pinching my cheeks. "Nayaline, wake up" i heard a murmur.

"Such a baby"  The voice wasn't clear.

"Chubs!" this time he pinched me hard.

"Awww" he's still pinching me!

"Iwtss hursttsss" (it hurts)

"Good, you're awake" 

I was massaging my face when he realize he did it hard.

"Hurt?" i rolled my eyes, i'm about to cry! just because they're fluffy doesn't mean they had to get pinched!

"Tsked, arrange yourself. You have booger. I'll wait you at the entrace"

He left me pouting  Seriously, This guy's mood is such a pain in the ass, it's just hard to read him.
