Chapter 50 What a cliche... or no (1/2)

When Alex and Rachel exited the home depot, Rachel felt extremely tired for some reason. The task was done and she was finally able to go home. The first thing she will do when she gets home is take a shower, since she smells like sweat. It was then that Rachel finally noticed that Alex was standing very close to her, so she tried to distance herself from him, since she didn't want him to smell her.

Yet every time she tried to move away Alex would closely follow her. She was already used to Alex sticking this close, but this time was different since she was really smelly at the moment. Rachel gave up in moving away from Alex, since if Alex decides to stick to her this much, there's nothing much she can do about it. She could try saying something to make him move, but she was scared that he might say something unexpected again, resulting to her blushing and feeling embarrassed.

The silence while they walk continued, Rachel couldn't say anything since she was fully concentrated on her problem of being smelly, Alex on the other hand was looking at the surrounding area, trying to see if something dangerous might come up.

On the other hand the people who saw them simply walking without talking, felt like they were a picture perfect couple, unaware of the current awkwardness that was happening. Once the two were in a more deserted street, they were approached by some overly dressed men.

”Heya princess, how about ditching the boring guy over there, and have fun with us instead?” Alex who saw the approaching men, didn't bother to engage them since they didn't look to be any threat to him or Rachel. All they did was talk to Rachel, they haven't touched her yet, nor do they show any signs of attacking... Yet when Alex heard how the man so casually talked to Rachel, he felt a bit irritated for some reason.

”Not interested.” Rachel refused the man with an iced cold glare. Instead of feeling demoralized one of the men felt even more excited, while one of the men from behind whistled.

”Come on, what's a hot fox such as yourself, doing with this scrawny loser?” One of the more muscular men in the group pointed at Alex. Since Alex's muscles aren't really the bodybuilder type the men couldn't see it while he was wearing his shirt.

”It's none of your business. I decide who I want to be with. So just leave while your bones are still intact.” Rachel warned the frivolous men, while glaring at them.

The four men who were surrounding them started laughing. ”Hahaha that's funny princess. Are you actually threatening us? Who's going to break our bones that guy?” The man who seem to be the leader pointed at Alex. ”That guy doesn't seem like he could even break a toothpick much less my bones.”

Alex didn't react to the man's provocation, ever since he had reentered normal society, his father had warned him numerous times not to strike first. Seeing Alex nonchalance and poker face, made the man a bit irritated, but he didn't bother with Alex, and focused his attention back to Rachel.

”You got three things wrong. First I'm not threatening you, I'm simply stating a fact.” The men who heard Rachel's ice cold tone of voice, started frowning.

”Oh really? Then what, pray tell are the other things I got wrong?” The leader of the frivolous men asked Rachel, feeling a bit angered by Rachel's act.
