Chapter 5: You Are Mine
'Freak' Evelyn thought of the sender of the text received. She deleted the text thinking it could be a wrong number. Then she added the number to her blocked list.
As she walks to the seating area, she thought of the mystery guy she met at the drinks stall minutes ago. 'Who is he', she thought. He has stunning blue eyes, hypnotizing any woman who stares at him. They definitely had a moment just now. Her heart flutters thinking about that moment. Evelyn took a deep breath trying to wipe the memory away.
Such a handsome face. Why does he look familiar? Where has she seen him?
What kind of spell has he enchanted her with. She has never felt this way to any man before.
She decided to turn around to have another look at him but the mystery guy is no longer at the drinks stall. 'Where did he go?' She sighed. Maybe it meant nothing to him. She was thinking too much it seems.
'Does he feels the same way as me? Did his heart skipped a beat like how she felt when they stare at each other?' She shook her head trying to get his vision out of her head.
'What am I thinking about? Why would that guy feel the same way to me? I'm out of his league. He looked like a guy who dates supermodel or famous actresses. Most likely a womanizer. Girls would throw themselves to his arms at any time. So, snap out of it Evelyn', she thought to herself.
Suddenly, while Evelyn was distracted with her thought about the Mystery man, someone quietly approached her from behind putting and arm around her waist to hug her. 'Aaahhh...' Evelyn shrieked. Struggling to break free, her bottled water fell to the ground.
"Gotcha!" John Mu said playfully with his lips close to her ears.
"Stop it, you idiot!" Evelyn finally elbowed John to break free from his hold, took his arm around and twist his wrist. "Do that again, i will punch your pretty face leaving a permanent scar!" Evelyn yelled at him.
John laugh out loud. "OK OK.. let go of me Eve. My team needs their captain today" Evelyn let go of his arm pushing him back and glared at him. She is so angry. If it was not the twins, she would definite punch his face till his teeth fall out.
He rubbed his wrist to ease the pain being twisted by Evelyn. Her grip is strong. He smiled at her saying "I was just testing the strength and alertness of the school's newly appointed Wushu Captain" He bowed his head showing respect with one hand to his heart "Clearly she is fearless" he added and clapping his hands like a kid. Left and right. Evelyn rolled her eyes feeling annoyed.
"Interim captain.. at least till Dennis recovers from his injury. Don't expect too much of me. Dennis better recovers or we will lose the next tournament." Evelyn corrected him and rolled her eyes again. She approached John and pinch his arms lightly. Ouch.. John tried to avoid her from pinching him again and again.
John Mu looked up and was looking at something behind Evelyn. He was staring at something.. or someone. He knit his eyebrows with a puzzled look. Evelyn turned around and was shocked to see her Mystery man walking towards her. He walks with style and confidence. He was not wearing his sunglasses. Evelyn could not help herself from not looking at him. Those beautiful eyes.
He bent down to pick up the water bottles that fell on the ground. Wiping the bottles with his hands.
Walking slowly towards Evelyn, he said "Miss.. you drop this" he handed the water bottles to her. Half smiling with his eyes locked looking at the Beauty standing infront of him. Evelyn's heart skipped a beat. She locked her eyes too looking into his stunning blue eyes. Those damn blue eyes. Her gaze slowly goes down to his lips and to his perfect jawline. He has a clef at his chin. So deep that Evelyn felt like touching it. Who is this mystery guy, she asked in her head. Evelyn bit her bottom lips trying to control the strange feeling her felt at this moment. She had butterflies in her stomach.
"Cough.. Cough.." John interrupted their moment feeling awkward standing with them. Evelyn snapped back to reality. Shook her head and took the bottled water from the Mystery man. The Mystery man kept looking at her. She saw his adam's apple moved up and down. 'Is he nervous to see her too?' Evelyn thought to herself, a little excited.
"Thank you" she said avoiding any more eye contact from this Mystery guy. She needs to get far away from the Mystery man. She is afraid that she would lose control at the sight of him. She took John's arm and walk towards the field leaving the Mystery guy behind her without looking back. This staring competition has to stop, she told herself. The best way is to avoid him.
Half way towards the field, John stop his steps. Evelyn turn to face John "What?" She asked him who is now looking at Evelyn with questioning eyes.
"You know that guy?" He asked in a slightly angry tone. 'Wait, is John jealous?' Evelyn thought.
"No.. and I don't care who he is" She snapped at John. Why is he looking at her angrily, she thought.
"Then why are you blushing?" He said frowning.
"I'm not. Stop imagining things." She said pouted her lips to John and folded her arms.
John looked at her for few second, he nodded and smiled. He walked closer and whispered to her "Wish me luck babe". He gave a quick kiss on her forehead. It is the only place, Evelyn don't mind him kissing. She is used to it.
Evelyn never blushed for a guy except once, years ago, when John Mu kissed her cheeks for the first time. At that time, he was aiming to kiss her sexy plump lips but Evelyn only gave him her cheek.
Yes, John had a crush on Evelyn when they were younger. But Evelyn rejected his love which broke his heart. 3 years ago when he confessed his love to her, they quarrelled so badly that made Evelyn broke into tears. That was the first time he saw her crying.
She said she does not want to lose their friendship and scolded John for falling in love with her. She does not feel the same way as what John feels about her. She is also not ready to be in a relationship. Not with him, not with anyone. But now, seeing how she looked at the blue eyed guy, John felt a little jealous. To him, Evelyn is his and he is willing to wait for her to open her heart to fall in love with him. He will wait as long as it takes.
"Eve.. wait up" Mandy came running towards John and Evelyn. Once she reached them, the girl gasped for air. Her body is so fragile and definitely not athletic in nature.
"Hi John. Good luck for today. I will watch and cheer for you OK. I'm seated at the 5th row. I will wave at you showing my 100% support for your team." It is obvious that Mandy is really excited like a little girl being given a candy. John was embarassed. "Thanks Mandy" he smiled awkwardly and looked at Evelyn. 'Save me', he tried to send the mental signal to Evelyn. Evelyn giggled.
"Come lil' sister. Let's watch John from the seating area. His team probably is looking for him now. Good luck John and wish Jake too for me please" she said to them then she rubbed Mandy's hair. She winked at John sending a signal, 'I got your back'. John smiled lovingly to Evelyn.
Mandy nodded and wave to John with a flying kiss. John smiled awkwardly to Mandy, turned around and jogged back to his team. He will deal with the unknown blue eyed guy later.
At the seating area, Adam recalled the incident of Evelyn holding that boy's arm. He chuckled. 'I will make you mine, my Beauty' he thought. If he can't have her, no one else can. Once he wants something, he will not give up to own it. He will find a way.
After a few more minutes, the game started.
"Little bunny. You are mine! How dare you block my number! I will get you and this time I will not let you go" a man said to himself while staring at his phone. Then the phone was smashed to the ground angrily.
"DRIVE!!" He shouted to his driver as he got into his bullet proof Land Rover.
