Chapter 8: Forget me

I'm dragging her by her hand in the hallway of the club, as she silently tries to protest......." Just help me, would you? Besides, you won't lose a thing.".........." So, does it mean force me to lie to your friends, look, Greyson.... I'm not doing this." She says while stopping abruptly

"Too late, we're already here." I say as I push the doors to the private room open. I lead us inside at the center of the room, catching everyone's attention as they silently stare at her.....just what I wanted, no one could refuse a beauty, especially a foreign one like Marcela......

"Everyone meet my girlfriend, Marcela." They erupt in wooing sounds, and I grin at the admiration in their eyes, Marcela stares and smiles awkwardly while pinching my side to let me know that she wasn't enjoying this as much as I was........" G-r-e-y-s-o-n....what are you doing?" She says with greeted teeth.

I take in her scent as I lean in, a rosey-sweet smell that had me crashing out a while ago....." What does it look like I'm doing....babe." She bulges out her eyes at me, calling her babe. Don't get me wrong, ok.... I'm not a flirt, usually. But Marcela sets this interest in me, that's unexplainable....ever since that day on the bus, I've been curious about who she was.

Yes, I know I planned all of it .....the switched up phones were definitely my doing. I was curious as to how she instantly distanced herself from the rest of the world and zoned out like that. She tries to leave when the doors to the private room open. She remains frozen while staring at him, or more of they're staring at each other. I walk a few distance to them and place my arm around her shoulder, which my uncle eyes coldly.....what's with him, seriously?

"Uncle Ru Han....what are you doing here, I don't remember... Umm, inviting you. But it's all because you're busy, and I didn't want to disturb you with my small matters." My uncle sneers, and eyes Marcela again.....who just stood there wide-eyed. I smile awkwardly because who was not afraid of my uncle....the man is a complete beast.

"Umm, Uncle Ru Han....meet my girlfriend, Marcela." My uncle looks at Marcela and back at me." Your girlfriend? The last time I checked, your girlfriend was Tong Yuran. Why is it her now?" I scratch my nape awkwardly......." Tong Yuran was just a friend.....she's my real girlfriend. " I say as I hold Marcela forward, her face went from a deep red to a deathly pale shade, "C'mon babe, say hi to my uncle…...from now on he'll be your uncle too"

Marcela looks back at me with pleading eyes. Did my uncle also terrify her? I pat her shoulder and whisper in her ear, "C'mon, just call him uncle....and it'll be over." Marcela looks back at my uncle and smiles slightly, "mmm... Uncle, hi."

My uncle looks at Marcela and makes a sound between a laugh and a groan...." Please, I don't have a niece as big as you. " ......... My mouth hangs open. Why was he being rude to her......he normally spared the females from his venomous words.

"Uncle Ru Han, C'mon, you don't have to be rude to her......she's harmless." I say while instinctively moving in front of Marcela to shield her from my uncle. " Greyson, not every pretty fragile face is harmless......some people are thorns waiting to poke you at your most vulnerable moment." My uncle looks straight at Marcela and walks inside to sit along with Siyan.

"Ignore him. He's like that to everyone." I say while turning Marcela towards me......" Whatever, I'm going, so bring my phone. I have somewhere to be." I look at her softly to try and ease her to stay. "For 30 mins, OK.....please, just stay..... I promise I'll send you wherever you want after this." She eyes me and sighs, "Fine…"

I hug her and hold her up. Her agreeing to me was a surprise, I thought she'd immediately leave after what my beast of an uncle did to her......" Put me down! Greyson....are you crazy?" I place her down and smile over her, "Tell me, Marcela.....do you believe in love at first sight?" I ask while still holding her. She looks at me timidly and back at my uncle, who was for sure staring at us coldly while sipping from his glass.

"No....now let go of me." I do as she says...." Are you sure, what about our encounter.....don't you think it's love at first sight?" She looks at me, dead serious. " Greyson, stop.... I don't believe in love, so don't waste your time on me."......." Okay... fine, go sit over there then, I'll get your phone.....wait for me," I say while trying to hide the hurt in my eyes.
