Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Grey's POV

"Thanks!"

As soon as she opened the door, Tokyo grabbed the bags of food from my hands and headed straight to her room which I followed.

Oh-kay?

This isn't what I was expecting.

Just right after I went off our dorm, I received a message from her asking to bring lots of food. I reckoned she was still craving like she did yesterday so I stopped by a convenience store and bought a few.

Of course, that is after a few fans had seen me.

Thank God our fans understood that we are normally not allowed to accommodate photo request without official business.

Because it'll be hard for us if we do.

The whole trip to her dorm was aggravating.

Thousands of scenarios came into view.

Will she change her answer? Or will she tell me to stop bothering her from now on?

I was freaking out the entire period so I keep on biting my nails.

Yet here she is, walking calmly back to her room like nothing ever happened.

Where are her members anyways?

Right after I closed the door on her room, she sat on the carpeted floor with all the food on her lap as she instructs me to sit on the bed.

I gulped.

What? Is it a good idea? Because honestly speaking, weird thoughts starting going through my mind.

"Ahhh, Tokyo, I do-,"

Before I can even finish, she cut me off.

"Sit on the bed while I think. But right now I need some food." she pouted. And so I zipped my mouth like what she wanted.

My eyes noticed the bags under her eyes. Was she unable to sleep a wink like me?

Million thoughts run around my head.

Did I offend her in any way?

I watch her as she tries to open the bag of chocolates on her hands.

Her fingers were fiddling; she looks so adorable.

"Stop staring. I can feel your eyes Grey, " she mumbles and a soft smile escaped my lips as I noticed her blushing.

At least I know she's also getting flustered by my presence.

Five minutes, that's what it took for my feelings to be refreshed even after she said No to me.

Seeing her up close makes up for all the pain I felt yesterday. I don't care if I'd look pathetic in front of her but if this is what it would take for her to be closer, to be with her again, I'd be okay with this...

For now...

My face rested on my palms, my elbows on my knees as I watch her eat from where I was seated.

How can I not like her?

She was only wearing a white shirt and black training pants but that doesn't hide the curves of her body.

"Grey," she mumbled, her eyes still fixated on the food before her.

My stomach churned in an instant as I heard her call my name. The sound of her calling me gets me every time. And I love the fact that she never calls me her senior when we're alone.

I straightened my back as I answer her. "Yeah?"

"What is my favorite food?"

I looked at the ceiling as I think of the answer. I don't know. She eats everything that I bring to her. I have never heard her declining into something.

"Do you have one?" I asked confused. My hands clasped together in nervousness.

"My favorite color?"

"Ahm, black?" I said, unsure. She always wear black whenever I see here so I guess that's it.

"My real name?"

"Tokyo Helisse? Wait, what is this?" I gulped. I'm getting scared.

"Where did we first met?"

A long sigh escaped my lips. That, of course I know.

I first saw her walking along the hallways of Serenity. She was so tall and beautiful that it's impossible not to notice her.

"At a music show?"

She stopped eating, her doe eyes stared back at mine, my heart stopped beating for a moment.

Yet she looked a little disappointed.

Fuck, I'm getting all whipped. My s will definitely tease me about this.

I suddenly regret ever making fun of Seth whenever he was getting giddy all over because of Zanaya.

Is this how he felt?

"Grey, were you serious about asking me out? Because if you're not, stop, please. I don't have time for your silly games." she mumbled, her eyes landed on the floor. She was so dead serious I was half anticipating that she'll crack a joke at the end like how she usually does.

One minute....

Fuck she's serious.

My heart dropped at her words.

Is that what she thought?

The mere thought of being the reason why she was feeling down and lonely due to my carelessness makes my heart shatter into pieces.

She didn't deserve that.

That's when I realized that she needed assurance which I never once gave.

Grey, stupid. You should have been sensitive about her feelings! I scolded myself.

"What, Tokyo, what were you thinking? Of course, I was serious!" I said in panic. I rushed down to where she was sitting and sat in front of her, my hand cupping her face.

I almost cursed internally when I realized her eyes getting teary.

Shit!

She avoided my gaze, her lips quivering and I wanted to curse myself even more.

"Tokyo, I like you, okay. I like you so much. Don't ever think that I am not serious with you." I whispered, my hands caressing her bare face.

I wanted to reach her lips and kiss her right there and then. But I don't think it's a good idea at this point.

I know this is a serious situation right now but just being with her makes my heart flutter even more.

I love the fact that she never bothered to look good in front of me. She's never afraid to show how simple she is, yet her face can launch a thousand ships.

Of course, I am aware how a few of my fellow idols had been eyeing her out as well as the other girls. And whenever I hear someone saying how they like Tokyo, I had this urge to punch that someone's face. That's how I was sure I was starting to like her.

Without even thinking, I pulled her into a hug, my heart beating rapidly.

I'm pretty sure she heard all that.

"Can you hear my heart beating so loud? That's because of you. I'm so fucking nervous I think I'm going to faint." I whispered.

Soft chuckles escaped her lips.

"You don't even know where we first met." a small smile crept at the side of her lips.

My brows furrowed at her words.

"What do you mean? It was at a music show. We met backstage after your performance." I told her. She started shaking her head in disagreement.

Huh?

"No? Then when was it?"

She started pinching my cheeks forcefully, her teeth gritted and I screamed in pain, my hands immediately leaving her face as I touch my cheeks.

"Then I won't date you until you figure it out." she said before she started chuckling. "You don't even know half the shits about me and you have the guts to tell me you like me?" she smirked, the old Tokyo that I know slowly coming back.

Suddenly, the heaviness in my heart got lifted.

"Does that mean you like me too?" I teased and I swear her cheeks went even brighter red.

"Aww!" I caught her hand when she hit me on the shoulder.

"Shut up or I'm going to kick you out!" she threatens. "And don't even think about uttering a word to either your members or mine. I still have a dating ban." she added.

A big smile spread across my face.

"I thought we're not dating yet?" I cooed, my face went closer to hers and it looks so cute how she suddenly got flustered.

"We're not but if I ever see you flirt with any girl, I'm going to kick your balls Grey Simons!" she snarled.

"Awwww, are you jealous?" I pulled her even closer. I'm loving the close proximity and the smile across her face.

"Shut up. No dating until you figure it out. And this is between the two of us, okay?" she mumbled before hugging me so tight, I was quite surprised.

But I won't complain. Tokyo hugging me is probably the best thing that had happen to me today.

I'll surely figure it out Tokyo. Watch me.
