"You-perv! What did you say, huh!" I hit his arm so hard but he just brushed it with his palm.

    "I''m just concern here! Look at the crowds, they''re having a feast looking at your body earlier. If I didn''t come, they would try to take advantage on you now!"

    "And now, it''s my fault? Is it my fault that I feel hot after drinking all of those wine!?"

    "Of course, it''s your fault! Who would else be? Am I the one who urged you to drink?" He sarcastically says. "You shouldn''t drink if you cannot take it.."

    My blood boils when I''ve heard his last sentence. Like, what the fuck? I didn''t even told him to care for me, because in the first place we''re already separated!

    "I heard you, bastard!" I shouted in mixed emotions. I didn''t know but I suddenly burst out.

    I just suddenly felt irritated.. If it''s because of the alcohol, then I would be damn for this. Why did I even drink?

    "What do you think will happen to you if I didn''t save your ass there? Do you think I''ll be comfortable with it?"

    "Then, thank you!" I rolled my eyes, mocking him. "I didn''t know that I should be grateful for what you did,"

    I heard him gasped, but I don''t care. The effect of alcohol made me like this. It gives me the courage to speak bluntly. Like my mouth was like a machine gun.

    "I shouldn''t have take you out of there, then. Now I regret it!"

    Well, I don''t care. No one asked him to do it, so it''s his fault. But why do I feel like vomiting now? Shit. I shook my head. No, I must swim at least. Maybe I was too drunk, I need to ease this.

    I used my strength to stand up but my head was spinning, damn it!

    "Hey! Where are you going?" He suddenly asked.

    "None of your business," I rolled my eyes. "Get out of the way!"

    But when I tried to push him, I was the one who stumbled on my feet. I don''t care if I fall now, I am too drunk to save myself tonight. Damn this alcohol.

    "Fuck! You''re so stubborn!" But when I opened my eyes, Noah''s already holding me. I bet he catch me... I smiled secretly.

    "Can you lead the way to your guest room? I think she passed out, she needs to rest.."

    I can''t open my eyes, It felt so heavy but I can still hear his worried voice right now. Why does he sound so good, hmm?

    "What happened here?" Sam asked. That girl''s always worried about me.

    "She passed out. I want to take her to bed so she can rest now.." Noah said.

    What are they talking about now? I want to sleep already, what''s taking them so long!

    "I''ll take her there.."

    Who''s that? Jacob?

    "It''s okay, bro. I can take her there, we can''t wake her. Look how peaceful her sleep was.."

    I''m not sleeping! I''m just closing my eyes! But if it would make me stayed in his arms, then I''ll remained like this.

    Noah''s POV

    "Just make sure she wouldn''t wake, she can''t sleep anymore when she wakes up.." Jacob said like he really knows her.

    I clenched my teeth. Is it really over for us? I tried to forget her and now this is the return to my struggles..

    With the way he stared at her, I wanted to cover her face and tell him that she''s mine. That I''m still in love with this woman. No matter how she hurt me many times, I''m still here waiting for her to look at me again..

    That I''m still fucking stupid for loving her over and over again!

    "Don''t worry.. I''ll make sure she won''t wake up,"

    He stared at her for the last time and nodded like it''s against to him. He''s in love with my woman, damn it!

    When I saw him with her earlier, I would definitely say that he''s really into her. I''m a man and he''s not a stupid for falling with this attractive and a good person.

    "I''ll lead the way.." Hannah says and asked Sam to look after the guests. She walked first and I just followed the way.

    Sam also wants to go but she was tasked to do the greetings to the guests. I know she''s also mad at me.

    "Just lay her here.." Hannah gestured the single bed inside this white painted room.

    I just did what she said, I gently placed Raine on the soft bed and wrapped the thick comforter around her body. It''s cold. Her nose was runny too, It makes her looked cute.

    "Sorry, I was needed downstairs. You can just leave her there if you''re done, thanks for carrying her here!" Hannah says after answering the call on her phone. She seems like a busy person tonight.

    "No problem. She''s kind pissed to me earlier, hmm.." I turned to Raine again and smile when I saw her peaceful sleep.

    I heard the door closes. Hannah must''ve left. I wouldn''t stay long though, I needed to go home early because I have a lot of things to do tomorrow.

    "How come you didn''t change...? It''s breaking my heart seeing you again...baby.." I whispered, staring at her pretty face.

    After everything, I never thought that she''s still the same as who she is before.. That she didn''t changed after all..

    At first, I thought that maybe she''s just surprised to see me that''s why she acted to nice to me and formal but I''m wrong..

    She''s still the same. My favorite person.. She''s still alive in her..

    I didn''t know but, it made me feel happy and at the same time contented. It''s enough for me to see her like this. That she didn''t changed for nothing, but she remained herself according to what she wants. I admire her for that.

    "She must''ve suffered a lot because of me.."

    I took advantage of the situation to touch her face. It''s so soft like it used to be.. It''s been so long since I last touched her face and I''m happy that she feels so warm and soft.

    "You should take care of yourself, look how pale you are, huh?" I talked like she can answer me.

    I''m certain that she''ll talk back at me if she''s only awake. But I wouldn''t do that. I''m afraid that she''ll lost her sleep because of me..

    I can''t help but smile as soon as I saw her graduation gown hanging on the thick couch beside the cabinet. She wore it all the way here and it really looked good on her earlier. I was the happiest when I watched her climbing up the stage, receiving her diploma and medals earlier.

    I''m so proud that she passed all the challenges that she''d been through all her life. That she doesn''t have to suffer anymore because I know, there''s a future that''s waiting for her. She''s a strong woman that can bear all the burdens in able to protect her love one''s. I admired her so much for that.

    That''s why, I was the happiest when I witnessed her greatest achievement.

    I took a stop closer to her and held her hand. It''s been so long but her effect on me was still the same. She still makes my heart pound like crazy. I wanted her to take responsibility of it but I know she doesn''t love me anymore.

    I''ll do everything to make her happy in the end. And my feelings doesn''t matter anymore. That''s my problem and not hers.

    I caressed her face for the last time before leaning to give her a quick kiss on the lips. "Happy graduation, baby.. You know, I''m so proud of you so keep pursuing your dreams. I''ll be watching you even if it means I had to be hurt again.."

    I watched her for the last time before leaving the room. I''m still gentle for closing the door, afraid to wake her again. I remember the feeling of her lips, I can''t believed I felt it again. Damn. I missed kissing her.

    Before I could go nuts, I immediately leave the place and say goodbye to everyone. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow, I should let my feelings aside from now.

    I drove back to my apartment after that. I didn''t feel much tired, so I still have time to drink some tea. For the past months that I engaged myself to my work, I learned to drink different kinds of tea. They said that it could help me relieve my stress.

    It doesn''t take good but it doesn''t taste bad.

    "She''s really a big trouble.." I chuckled when I fell off the bed. I''m thinking of the time when she passed out on my arms.

    Cute, hmm.

    "How''s the condition of our company''s server? Are you sure that it''s secured? How about checking it again for the last time?" I assured to my secretary while we''re here inside my office.

    I fixed my tie while looking at the documents in front of me. I just came here but there''s a lot of things to do again, damn it.

    "We have checked it earlier, Sir. And I can guarantee that we''re safe.." My secretary answered, Mr. Brown.

    "Okay, then what''s my next schedule?" I''m still focused on the documents.

    "Uh. Your next client will be Mr. Griffin, Sir. The meeting will be held after 15 minutes.."

    I arched a brow, "Pierre Griffin?"

    "Yes, sir."

    What''s with that dude right now, huh? Is he that bored that he wants to have a business with me?

    "Okay, let''s go now. Please prepare my car.."

    "Copy sir--"

    "I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO HIM, DAMN IT! LET ME GO!"

    A woman shouted inside my office while being hold with the two body guard. Her familiar glare made me paused on my position. What is she doing here?

    She walked faster towards me while I was standing here at my place. She''s like a tiger coming here to eat me alive.

    "What are you doing here--"

    "Did we kissed?!" She immediately asked that made me stop.

    W-what?

    "I''m asking you, Noah. Did we kissed last night when you brought me to the room?"

    She even arched a brow at me. How did she knew that? Was she pretending to be asleep last night!?

    "So you know?" I smirked.

    I wanna laugh when her cheeks flared up in embarrassment. Damn it, how can she barged in here looking so pretty? I must really lose my mind!
