Chapter 39: Chapter 39

Grey's POV

"Lex, you do know we're both dead once a fan recognizes us here, right?" I stared at him. My face may be covered by a mask but I'm sure he knows how my brows furrowed behind my fake glasses and my lowered cap.

Since yesterday, Alex has been persuading me to go out. I could have said no because I'm really not in the best mood to hang out these days.

Plus, both WHISTLE and SHADOW are in kinda tough situation after that V-live incident with Baby Ashton.

Zanaya had been so stressed and both agencies haven't decided what to do yet. Both Seth and Zanaya's family were very worried about the kid's sake.

Also, the bags under my eyes are already noticeable. And it wasn't because we lack sleep from promotions and other scheduled gigs but because I refuse to sleep much these days.

Ever since me and Tokyo got back together, I had been constantly dreaming about that girl I bump with a few years ago.

The incident goes on like a cycle in my dream and it pisses me off because every time I suddenly wake up from that dream, I remember Tokyo.

Maybe because my mind is unconsciously being guilty of having a dream about someone else when I am in a relationship.

I love Tokyo, that, I am perfectly sure of. But it scares me that I am having this kind of fantasy. I don't want to seem like I am cheating on my girlfriend.

We wasted a lot of months and I don't want to waste a few more by starting to have some SHADOW on my feelings just because I kept on dreaming on some other girl who I don't even know.

Fuck, I don't even know what she looks like. However, I must admit that even with face covered, my heart fluttered the first time I talked with her. And that was before I met Tokyo.

But come to think of it, that girl and Tokyo's eyes look quite the same. Though I wasn't really sure because in my memory, that girl was wearing grey contacts and she had an eye make up on.

Was she a model or something?

Well, I shouldn't bother because I have Tokyo now. I shouldn't be letting my mind wander off on some other girl beside her, though I'm finding that hard to do at this point.

In all honesty, I had been very hard on myself lately because of this. It's been bothering me and I've been trying to scold myself to pull it together.

This problem had been eating my conscience for a few days now. Afraid that Tokyo will be upset once she finds out, I told Alex instead since I was with him when I bumped into the girl. But the fucker deadpan laughed in my face when I did.

I could have smacked him but Alex and I already had a long history and I guess I have found to trust him a lot more now.

Yeah, even after all the troubles he's done.

Of course, I would tell Tokyo too. I should and that's the right thing to do.

Besides, isn't the reason why our relationship went downhill and into some rollercoaster frenzy was that because we didn't fully trust each other?

Anyways, I need to do something about this. Even the boys were having a hard time because of me.

"You need this, bro. Trust me," he responded and even though his face is equally covered like mine, the movements of the muscles on his face tell me how big of a smirk he is wearing and I don't even understand half the reason why he's so giddy about it.

Before I can even speak, his phone suddenly started ringing and the fucker decided that it is the best time to answer his phone when we're practically in the middle of the street and be mobbed at any moment.

Due to him answering his call, we stopped abruptly and my eyes scanned the area while he talks over the phone. I get that it might be important and receiving a phone call once you're outside is probably one of the scariest thing ever. Especially if the name of either your manager or boss flashes off the screen.

"Of course babe, I'll see you soon, bye!" I heard Alex and I bite the inside of my cheek as I wait for him to end the call, and the moment he did, I called for his attention, my jaw clenching a little.

"Please tell me you weren't talking with Tokyo earlier," I told him and I noticed his right eyebrow raised. I rolled my eyes on him and snickered, "Stop calling my girlfriend with endearments, it's pissing me off," I told him and maybe due to the fact that I looked serious when I said it, his hands went up in surrender.

"In my defense though, I've been calling her those even before he met you, but okay. I'd probably get pissed off too if I ever heard some guy call mine his," he answered.

Good.

And then we once again started walking further into the area.

"I'm actually thinking why I even agreed with you. If Tokyo, my members or any of my managers find out I'm roaming around the city at this broad daylight, or that I ever get into trouble, I'm going to make sure you face them in my defense. Tokyo and I haven't been hanging out lately and I'm starting to feel bad about it," I told him as we walk side by side, trying to blend with the crowd.

However, even I find it absurd and impossible seeing that our face was covered too much, we attract too much attention looking too suspicious.

Even Alex's height makes people turn their heads towards our direction so I am trying my best to walk and act differently. And it's so fucking hard.

My brows furrowed after seeing the familiar bookstore and my heart flipped for a moment.

That place is where I first had an incident with that mysterious girl from my dreams. I quickly turned my head towards Alex's direction and as if he was expecting me to do so, I heard his laughter echoing.

"What? I just need to find a book before we hang out. It's a gift for someone," he stated and suddenly, I felt butterflies going wild inside my stomach.

Why did I suddenly felt so nervous about coming into this place?

I mean, the odds of seeing the girl again is nearly impossible.

There's no way...

And then my jaw almost dropped when I saw an all too familiar jacket, a huge one, the girl's face covered with a huge mask and her hair covered with a cap.

I closed my eyes. My heart started beating rapidly, I had to hold my chest afraid that it would jump outside any minute.

Grey, calm down. Think of Tokyo. C'mon, you're better than that.

The moment I opened it once again, the girl can no longer be found. Once again, I tried scanning the area but I can't seem to locate her figure.

Alex was already hurrying inside trying to search some book but I was too conscious of my surroundings. I didn't realize how long I had been looking around the place until I felt a hand tapping me on the shoulder.

Turning around, my eyes caught Alex's smiling face.

"Done, let's go," he stated before heading outside and with one last look from behind, I then followed Alex.

You're just being paranoid Grey. I told to myself.

"What did you bought?"

He didn't even bother looking at me while fiddling with his phone, "Lucille and Henry," he answered and my heart did a mini somersault inside.

"What?" I almost exclaimed and Alex looked at me weirdly.

I was still gawking at him that I didn't notice someone coming over me. Before I knew it, I felt my body colliding with someone else's.

It wasn't too strong but the sudden contact sent me chills all over.

The moment I turned my head towards the person I bumped with, my eyes almost went out of my socket.

"Sorry," she stated and I felt like my surroundings suddenly getting blurry. Her voice, it was different from the first time but it was familiar. Too familiar I feel like my heart is about to fall off my chest.

God damn it. You're one stupid man, Grey Simons.
