CHAPTER XII :

Pet Shop?

【 𝘈𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘦'𝘴 𝘗𝘖𝘝 】

After playing with sir Y/N at the arcade, we went to his favorite fastfood chain.

Its a new experience, I haven't

dined alone with a client before.

We're sitting on a table, facing each other as we ate the food we ordered.

I don't know why but...

I like being close to him. As if

I feel wanted. And normal.

I watched as he ate with a joyous face.

He's kind of cute...

What am I saying...?

Alice : "You're the first person to treat me more like a friend rather than a bodyguard... Sir." I told him,

trying not to blush.

Y/N : "Really?" He asked as

he took a bite out of his borgir.

I nodded.

Y/N : "If that's the case then you can call me by my name then, Y/N, rather than 'sir.'"

Huh...?

Alice : "I really can...?"

Y/N : "Ofcourse!"

Alice : "Y-Y/N..." I struggled to say. It feels disrespectful not to call my client 'sir'.

But even so, he smiled to me.

Such a warm smile towards

someone as emotionless as me...

We continued eating. As Y/N took another bite from his burger, some ketchup got on his cheek.

I immediately grabbed some tissue

and wiped the ketchup off his cheek.

Y/N : "Huh...?"

Alice : "There was some ketchup on your cheek, Y/N." I explained as I tried to hide my smile. To be honest, I just used it as an excuse to touch his cheek.

Y/N : "Oh... Thank you, Alice."

After eating with Y/N at the fastfood chain, we looked around at some shops. And after that, it was time to go home.

For the longest time, I've felt true happiness spending time with a person.

However, as we were going home, a blonde girl wearing black jogging pants and black long sleeves that was crop

top approached us. She was wearing

some silver and gold necklaces.

"Yo, Y/N." The girl called out to Y/N.

Y/N : "Huh...?" Y/N turned to the girl, his face immediately turned into surprised, maybe even shock.

Y/N : "C-Cordelia...?"

Cordelia : "Ha! Thought you wouldn't remember me." She said with an annoying smile.

Y/N : "Yeah-"

Cordelia : "How's it been, Y/N?

Y/N : "It's been good..." Y/N stiffly

said, trying to look away.

I can sense that Y/N is uncomfortable.

Why is this blonde girl being a nuisance and making Y/N uncomfortable?

Cordelia : "I've missed you, you know" She said as she seductively eyed Y/N, approaching him.

Y/N : "Uhh..."

I used my hand to lightly

put her back away from Y/N.

Cordelia : "Hey! What's the deal!?"

I stared deep in her eyes.

Cordelia : "Jeez... What a creepy

stare... Don't tell me this your

new girlfriend, Y/N?"

Y/N's girlfriend...?

I blushed at the thought...

I guess being his girlfriend

won't be too bad..

What am I thinking... He's my client...

But pretending to be his girlfriend

will surely make this girl stop

from bothering Y/N.

Y/N : "She's more like my-"

I stepped infront of Y/N before

he could finish speaking.

Alice : "Yeah, I'm his girlfriend."

I tried to say, fighting the urge to smile.

Y/N : "A-Alice-"

The girl let out a loud laugh.

Cordelia : "You got to be kidding me,

Y/N. This girl? Your girlfriend? Your

life really became a mess when we broke up."

I looked at Y/N and there seems to be a blaze inside his eyes, as if something snapped.

He quickly stepped infront of me.

Y/N : "You can insult me all you want but never insult my body- I mean my girlfriend!"

Cordelia :

"Huh? I'm saying the truth, Y/N."

Y/N : "The truth... Don't make me laugh Cordelia, you literally told me that I could bully people because they deserved it."

Cordelia : "What...? And

that's not the truth?"

Y/N : "No! You're so evil... And you wonder why I broke up with you."

Cordelia : "Haha, you've become weak. Y/N. You and your new girlfriend are weak."

Y/N : "Don't insult Alice. If you're gonna insult anyone, insult me,

Hearing Y/N refer to me as his girlfriend is making me want to blush so hard.

Girlfriend...

I don't know why but my heart is beating so loud...

Do I want to be his girlfriend...?

I haven't even been in a relationship before since everyone just views me as cold and indifferent...

But Y/N cares about me...

Cordelia : "You've changed Y/N."

Y/N : "Change isn't always a bad thing, Cordelia, you can use some."

Cordelia :

"Tch. You wasted what we had."

Y/N : "That's not a bad thing either.

I'm way happier with Alice."

I blushed hard.

Y/N happy with me...?

Someone happy with me...?

No...

He's just pretending...

Cordelia snatched Y/N's wrist,

grabbing it and pulling him.

Cordelia :

"I can make you way happier. Y/N."

My eyes sharpened as soon as their skins touch, I immediately grabbed her arm and threw her down at the floor, eyeing her down as I did.

Some people were stopping, looking down at her with concern and some with the will to intervene.

But I don't care,

Cordelia : "What the fuck is your deal!?" She shouted.

Alice :

Only I can touch him...

Cordelia got up and eyed me. But she was shorter than me, she looked pathetic in comparison.

She eyed Y/N and I

before storming away.

Y/N : "Thank you for that... Alice..."

Alice : "It's my job to protect you, afterall, Y/N..."

Y/N : "It wasn't a mistake afterall to hire you." He smiled at me.

I became quiet.

Alice : "Can we visit a pet shop?"

Y/N : "Uhh... Sure...?

You have a pet, Alice?"

Alice : "Nope."

Y/N : "Ah, you're interested in one?"

I nodded.

After some walking, we arrived at a pet shop selling all sorts of pet accessories.

I immediately walked to the dog

section of the shop, with Y/N

following behind.

Y/N : "You're interested in a dog, Alice?" He questioned as we looked at the various dog accessories.

I looked at him straight in

the eyes and nodded.

I want to make you my pet...

Y/N : "Have you decided

what breed of dog?"

Alice : "Not... Yet..."

Y/N : "Oh."

I grabbed a red dog collar from the shelves, I held the collar up my eyes, looking inside the circle of the collar and seeing Y/N inside it.
