BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

One? Two? Three? Three days have passed since what happened between Ken and me at the gym. That was also the last time we talked to each other since we never talked since then. He is also so busy in his training with the basketball team since the tournament will start anytime soon. Besides, he does not have any intention to talk to me. Do not get me wrong. I do not have a feeling for Ken. I simply do not want someone to feel angry with me. Moreover, I kind of miss his silliness around me.

” You seem so sad today. ” Kuya Xander commented after he reached me the cup of ice cream.

We are currently at the ice cream shop parallel to our school. Kuya Xander invited me here to grab some ice cream. It is also the time that we are having our lunch break. If you are searching for Rhea, she is in the gymnasium. She will watch the practice of Caleb and the basketball team. I do not know exactly if there is something between the two. They looked closely lately. Rhea asked me to went with her, but Kuya Xander invited me first, so I have not able to join her.

” Not really, Kuya! You are just taking so long. ” I lied with a fake smile.

” You really think you can lie with me? I knew you since childhood, in case you forgot. ” he said.

” Fine, I just cannot avoid it especially —-, ” I stopped before I completed my answer.

” Especially what? Do not tell me you are falling to that guy? ” he asked while smirking.

” Of course not! I just do not want somebody hates me. ” I said in a persuasive voice, trying to make him believe in me.

I heard him chuckle, so I glared at him. He just invited me to tease me with this topic.

” I know you better, Alexa. I know when you are lying, but I will not force you to tell me the truth because you seem to be in denial. ” he said while laughing.

” Me? In denial? No way! ” I said it out of defense.

” Fine, relax! I am just kidding here. Anyway, I have to go first. Our practice game will start anytime soon. ” He said.

” Okay, take care! ” I replied.

He already stood up and started walking away from me while I go back to eating my ice cream.

” Alexa, ” Kuya Xander called me.

I look in his direction and ask, ” What? Did you forget something? ”

” You better watch our practice game. I will overcome your boyfriend, and they will lose. ” he said smirking at me.

I glared at him because of what he said, so he ran while laughing. I brought back my attention to the chocolate ice cream which I am eating. Yum! Yum!

XANDER’S POV

After I bid goodbye to Alexa, I went straight to their school gymnasium. I need to talk first to someone before our practice game starts. When I arrived, they were having a water break from their practice. I grabbed the chance to go near the guy that became the reason why the person I love the most was sad. I think he felt my presence because he looked in my direction but irritably looked away and finished what he was doing.

” Can we talk? ” I asked him.

He looks at me again. His irritation is all over his face. Tsk, I should be the one irritated with him.

” What about? ” he asked me back with a little arrogant

” About Alexa, ” I answered shortly

Ken’s face cannot be painted anymore after hearing the name I said. He went first outside the gym, and I silently followed him until we reached a vacant classroom. After I closed the door, he faced me.

” What about my girlfriend? ” he said with emphasis.

I smirked after hearing the emphasis he put on the word girlfriend. I think there is really a misunderstanding between us.

” Relax, I am here to talk, not to fight. Before that, let me introduce myself. I am Alexander Lim, Alexa’s cousin. ” I said with emphasis.

He seems shocked at what he heard. That is what happened if you just reacted but never asked.

” Are you serious? ” he asked in unbelief.

” Yes, you can ask her if you want. Ow, you two are not in the talking stage, I remembered. ” I commented.

” She does not mention any cousin to me. ” he explained.

” How can she explain herself if you became jealous right away? ” I said

” Me? Jealous? No way! ” he said it out of defense.

I burst into laughter after what he said. He is also in denial.

” Bro, I am also a guy. You know that I know what you feel. If you do not like her, break up with her. I will never let anyone hurt the only princess of Lim’s family. ” I said with a threat in my voice.

” I will not do that. ” He said with emphasis and seriousness on his face.

” Your fake relationship with Alexa is not beneficial to her. You do not know even a single thing about her. ” I irritably told him.

” I have ample time to get to know her. ” he simply answered.

I sighed and hid my smile, ” Do not ever dare to hurt her, or else, I will be the one to hunt you down. ” I warned him.

” I will not. ” he seriously answered.

” Good. ” I shortly said.

I laid my hand on him to shake his hands, and he also did the same. I feel relieved right now.

ALEXA’S POV

After I finished eating my ice cream, I decided to went back to our classroom. When I arrived, only a few people is inside. Maybe, some of our classmates are not yet done eating their lunch. I sat down in my chair and heads down to my table. I am so sleepy. I am half asleep when my spirit is awakened by Rhea’s loud voice.

” Beshy! ”

” Lower down your voice, Rhea. ” I irritable told her.

She went straight in my direction. She looks so worried.

” You will not believe what I saw. ” she told me with a serious tone.

” What? ” I asked in curiosity.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

” Kuya Xander and Ken went outside the gym together. They looked so serious back then. ” she explained.

My eyes widened at what Rhea said. Oh my, what is happening? I immediately grabbed my bag and was ready to run when someone texted me. A text message from Kuya Xander.

” Do not worry! Everything will be fine now.”

I am still confused, yet my heart is at peace. What had they talked about?
