Chapter 117 117. End Of POV

I was staring at him in amazement, I never thought I would be able to see this legendary type of man in the flesh in front of me.

It's funny, I used to criticise women who fell for them and here I am, Fallen for one.

"Ohh, Yeah still even if you don't intend to, You helped me, and I had to thank you for it." 

I know this type very well, So I just agreed with him without pointing out obvious faults in his reasoning.

After all, you should never ever argue with a man, Especially someone like him. 

It will always without exception end up at the end you regretting why you even started an argument.

So I was a wise gal and didn't argue with him but there was a wide grin on my face.

"Cute face, If I didn't think you are useful, I would have kicked you out, So before I change that opinion of mine, Stop grinning like an idiot and sit in the corner to enjoy my masterpiece."

I was grinning, The thought of him doing this for me was making me feel emotions that I never felt.

It's just that he might have not liked me staring at him and grinning, So out of shame he said this to me.

There is no doubt, I know he was a little insensitive to the situation but he meant good, He just did not know his words might hurt someone.

That's why like before I ignored words pros and quickly followed his order and sat in the corner, My yesterday's place

Soon he started showing the magic of his fingers...on the piano of course.

A sweet melody filled the room but unlike before this made me happy, I was not forgetting anything.

He did this big thing for me that was playing in my mind, My first meeting with him and all other things.

Unknowest to me, A wide silly smile adoring my lips, Making me look like an idiot.

I was just enjoying this moment of pure bliss. My eyes never leave him, Though my mind was telling me, I was making a huge mistake, I was only going to get hurt but my heart was not listening to it.

The struggle between the two continued as his song gave me more joy than all I felt in my adult life.

"*Phew* Done, So how is it? Do you like it cute face?"

I don't know how this time moved so quickly. What I felt was just a few moments was more than 2 hours.

I looked at him after the music stopped. He did look tired but surprisingly even after 2 hours of continuous playing, He was not that exhausted at all.

This surprised me though I was still worried about him.

"Are you thirsty? D-Do you need water or something ehh... Tha-"

"Alex, Alex Winchester but you can call me Lord Alex or King Alex, Whichever you prefer."

I asked him if he was thirsty, and if he wanted water but while talking I remember I don't know his name at all.

This made me embarrassed, I don't know what to say now but thankfully he didn't abandon me with this awkwardness.

He, realising my embarrassment, said his name, making me relive the shame.

'So his name is Al- Huh!?'

Then while I was overjoyed to know his name I noticed what he actually said throwing me off track, I didn't know how to respond at all.

"Hey, cute face, Are you going to ask me if I wanted water? So what are you waiting for? Ask quickly."

I was here trying to process what just happened. Did he really want me to call him lord or even worse king? 

Aren't these the obvious red flag in the mouths of those people? Is he the worst of the worst of species?

"Ye-Yeah, Did you want water, Ki-King Alex."

Fuck it, I called him, Anyway I know he is a good person.

Why should l care about the opinions of some virgin incell on the internet? What do they know? They are clearly stupid.

"Pufft~ Hahah You really said it, You are very funny Grace."

I bore through all that cringe and called him that but to my surprise, He looked at me and burst out laughing.

He was holding his stomach standing with the support of the black piano as he was laughing controllably.

To be honest, He did fool me but looking at him laughing like this with that carefree appearance on his face made me feel it was worth it.

If he will always laughs and be happy like this, I do not need anything more, I will be satisfied with only that much.

So I was not angry but rather glad that he was not the one in the mouth of those internet people. After all, they do know a treasure they can't possess.

"Hah~ Heh, Sorry I did that to you but I couldn't resist it, As I said with your face it's hard not to bully you."

He finally stopped laughing, While wiping away the tears which came out from laughing hard he said these words to me.

And I was as hopeless as I had become, Was happy to hear him say that to me. I will be more than happy if he bullies me like this every day.

"Hey look at the time, I am now officially late for class, So Cute face same time tomorrow?"

I saw Alex smile while remembering my stupidity. I wished this moment would freeze here for eternity.

That unreasonably tempting smug smile adoring his lips was impossible to look away from, But they like every good thing, This also has to end it.

He looked at his wristwatch and casually said he was getting late, After that he just walked towards the exit fumbling with his phone.

I was reculent to let him leave like this, I wanted to spend a little more time with him as I don't know when will I going to see him next but I can't do anything, I am no one to him, Why should he as the man decided to stay alone in the room with a woman? 

It makes no sense to even ask that question, So I just let him leave hoping to see him again soon.

But then a miracle happened. While he was leaving he turned to me and asked me a question.

I was stunned to hear it. For a while, I wasn't able to understand the question but when I did there were no bounds to my joy.

"Ye-YES same time."

I was excited and quickly replied but to my dismay, he was already gone just like yesterday but now I was not sad, I know I will see him here tomorrow.

So after calming myself down, I also hurried toward my classroom with a new target in my mind.

I wanted to earn money, earn so much that he can never be sad. With new determination, I started my new day.

——— POV Ended ———

...

"Meeting him is like a fairytale, So I guess It should also stay as fantasy."

Grace came out of her memories. She stopped looking at her mother through the window and quickly wiped out her tears, Which has a habit of always coming without an invitation.

After she was kinda reliving that moment, Her chaotic mind calmed down. 

At that moment all she wanted was to spend time with him and now she got more than what she asked for, So she should be happy with these things.

"How long since he called me cute face? It should be after he officially started dating Alia right?"

Then she also noticed a fact. Before Alex used to call her cute face but after he started dating Alia he never called her that again.

Before she didn't notice it but now she knows, Any chance of her being with him ended that same day, She was just living in false hope.

'Maybe yesterday's thing might be because of pity, He was always so kind-hearted after all.'

When one is in despair, Abyss tries to make them fall more into it, she starts to think a lot more pessimistically.

A thing she knows is not true felt like it might be, She was hurting herself with her imagination. After all, she is a true heroine. It was given that she should have a wild imagination.

"You know, No man likes a crybaby, You are just making a joke of yourself Cute face."

While Grace was drowning herself in her self-created sorrow, A voice rang in the pretty empty hallway of the hospital ward.

Grace's eyes shot open as she quickly looked towards the direction of the sound with expectation and hope.

'He is here, He didn't forget me.'

Grace muttered to herself as she saw the figure of a man coming towards her with that same careless smile adorning his lips.

For while she had the illusion of going back in time to when she first met him, That overwhelming mixture of emotions hit her heart once again.

She, without waiting for anything, just ran towards him and embraced him tightly.

"Hey, Grace don't be misunderstood, It's just a platonic hug."

Alex also embraced her but he didn't break his character and said these words to her.

"What did you say?!!"

But to his surprise, Grace reacted drastically to his words making him wonder if he said too much.
