17 What Relationship? (2/2)

”Uncle is very healthy now, I can even carry your mom too.” he said nonchalantly. Aslan laugh but not Hazel.

She almost choke on her drink when she heard him.

Put down Aslan on the next seat to him, he help him to eat his lunch.

”Does it taste good?” he asked.

Aslan nod his head.

Hazel look at the both of them

'Why do I feel like he care so much about Aslan? And why Aslan looks so attached to him?' she thought, but soon after, she ignore the question inside her mind and wait for Aslan to finish his meal.

….

Like always, Chase will wait until Violet shift ended and walk her home from afar.

Since he already know where she lives, he parked his another car at around the neighborhood and take a bus to the cafe every day. So when he walk her home, he could drive back to Sun House without asking Nigel to pick him up.

After Violet lock the door, she went to the subway station and wait for the train. She noticed that Chase was behind her and following her. But she ignore him like any other days.

When they arrived at her neighborhood, she turned her body around and walk closer to him.

Surprised by the sudden action from her, he stop his pace.

”Can we talk?” she asked him with a determined face.

Chase look around them and nod in a yes.

”Follow me.” she said and walk to the nearby playground across the street.

Sitting on the bench she look at him who is standing still in front of her.

”Look, I know you followed me every day.” she search his eyes, as he still silent.

”But, this is not good. You have a girlfriend and what if she know what were you doing? It will create a problem for me.” she said again after knowing that he will not replied her.

”I don't have a girlfriend.” Chase reply after he silent for a long time.

”Don't lie. I saw her this afternoon.” she said.

”She's my friend.”

”Ah- living together is a friend?” she started to feel annoyed after hearing his denial.

She saw with her own eyes and heard her word. Why would he lied to her?

”It's..”

”Not like that?” she cut his word and pinch the space between her eyebrows.

”Listen, I will file a report if you follow me again. I don't know what your intention is nor why you always show up at the cafe. I hope you can stop this action and please..leave me alone.” she stand up and walk away.

Chase was dumbfounded with her word.

'Ah damn Chase! Great! Just great!' he bottles up his anger and went to his car.

…..

He slumped at the couch in the living hall when he see Hazel was sitting at the couch watching 'Moana' with Aslan and Alan.

”How was it?” she asked.

Glaring at her with a furious look he said.

”Thanks to you, now she hates me.” he said.

Hazel eyes turns wider and Alan also divert his eyes to Chase.

”What? What happen?” she ask worriedly.

”She thought that we two are dating.”

Hazel cover her mouths with her bare hand.

”Wait, did she heard about our relationship?”

Alan frowned and asked them.

”What relationship?”
