BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

A few minutes had passed before I recovered from the shock when Ken left me dumbfounded. That idiot, he did not bother to hear me out, then he had the nerve to be angry with me and tell me that he was jealous. Argh! Frustrating.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

I heaved a heavy sigh before going back inside the house. However, I was shocked when I saw James leaning against the wall near the house’s entrance.

‘ How long he had been there? Did he heard what Ken and I talked about.’ my mind could not help to wonder.

I shook my head to disregard what I was thinking and started walking toward the front door. However, before I passed through where James was, I heard him speak, which made me stop.

” So, he is your fake boyfriend, ” I heard James speak, so I turned to him and saw how maliciously his smile was.

” It is none of your business,” I firmly answered.

” So that is why uncle did not know that you were not single. You two have fake relationship, ” James commented.

” Even we are fake or not, you have nothing to say,” I angrily responded to him.

” Well, I have, wife. ” James said while grinning, and he called me wife with a firm emphasis.

” Stop James before I forgot what we had before, ” I threatened him.

” I know that you could not forget me, Alexa, ” James confidently said and walked towards me, which made me walk backward too.

Since I was walking backward, I tripped over something, but James was fast enough to grab me. Due to the strength he used to pull me, I could not help but hug him unconsciously. When I returned to my senses, I immediately pushed him away.

” You are too confident to yourself, James. And, what we had in the past has nothing significant to me now. Besides, can you just leave me alone. Learn to respect your fiancée,” I said firmly and bravely to him.

” I do not have one, ” James replied in a calm manner.

” Liar. ” I replied shortly.

” Ouch, coming from you? Who between us is the real liar?” He asked. How dare he?!

” Do not ever compare me to yourself. Move on James, we are over. ” I angrily told him and turned my back to him.

” Just like the old you, fierce outside but still soft inside. But I hope you will let me explain what really happened. I do not have a fiancée anymore. We decided to cut off the arranged wedding?” James tried to explain himself, which made me look at him again.

” What do you mean arrange wedding?” I asked in confusion because of his revelation.

” Yep, what really happened was I was arranged to someone, but because of my love for you, I fought hard even if we broke up. The good news was the wedding would not push through, so I decided to return her. And now I know that your relationship with him is fake, I will win you back, ” James determinedly said, and I saw how sincere his eyes were when he explained everything.

” Too late James, too late. ” I straightforwardly said.

” Do you love him enough? ” He asked.

A few minutes had passed since our eyes met, and no one dared to cut it off. However, I first looked away because I felt weak, with his eyes showing me different emotions. This is impossible!

” I still have the same effect sa iyo Alexa. I know you love me still so why could we not start over again? ” James confidently commented.

” You are delusional. Go home now. I will just tell Mom and Dad that you left because something came up,” I said and turned back at him again.

” If you love him, you will answer me in an instant. Think about it, Lex. ” those are the last words I heard James speak before I closed the front door. How could he question my feelings about Ken and about him?!

JAMES’ POV

I saw how the woman I love turned her back on me. Maybe the question I asked her seemed like a punch to the moon, but I needed to do this to protect her from that crazy woman. I bitterly smiled when their front door closed. I have really a long way to climb to win her back. To win the only woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.

I hopped into my car and drove straight to my condo. As I entered my condo, I immediately lay down on my bed because I was planning to sleep. However, before I could close my eyes, my phone rang. I checked who the caller was and answered the call while frowning.

” What?! ” I answered the call while being hot-headed.

” Tsk, tsk, why are you angry this time? Did she reject you? ” The girl on the other side of the call asked.

” Not your concern, what do you want?! ” I harshly asked her.

” It is in my concern dear, you know, I am a short-tempered person, move now, or I will move,” She said, threatening me.

” They are fake. It will be easy to break them up. ” I confidently said to her. I heard how devilish her laughter was from the other side. How could she do this to Alexa?!

” Really? Then, make it easier. I am coming back very soon; I know you do not want her to be hurt when I came back. I will surely get everything from her, well, except you because you are not my type, ” she confidently said. As if I like her?!

” What really happened to you? How could you do this to her? You are too bad. ” I asked in wonder because I could not believe what had happened to her.

” I am being nice because I will let her have you. Afterall, she is the reason why everyone thought I died. ” she angrily responded.

” Well, even her thought that you really died, ” I said to defend Alexa from her.

” She did not find me! She left me and it makes my life a living hell,” I could hear how she actually exclaimed in anger because of what I said.

” I hope before you come back into their life, you already forgive her because you know she does not mean anything happened in the past. ” I expected to convince her one last time before ending the call.

I weakly lay down on my bed. This would be big trouble for Alexa if she came back with anger in her heart. Alexa loves her so much. What will I do? I fall into sleep with that set of thoughts running in my mind.
