Free Fall

Max's POV

"Can you stop pouting like that Max? I swear your lips will fall off any minute if you keep that antics of yours," I heard Cali stated and I unwillingly stomped my feet in frustration about to cry as I head straight to my room but she laughed at my reaction.

It's been two days and I haven't gotten my GUCCI back.

Well, how am I supposed to get it back when I don't even know how to reach him. My only hope was if Seth would be kind enough to remind Sky about it after Seth visited Zanaya when she was sick. Which reminds me, we never knew Zanaya's and Seth's family were close.

You can't expect me to go around asking for his number because I'll end up looking someone desperate for attention.

I should have asked when Seth was here. But then he was too focused on attending Zanaya and we were shocked about it, it slipped my mind.

Besides, Sky isn't just a rookie idol like me but a world-famous one.

If someone finds out that I was even asking about him, I might end up being on gossip magazines and our boss might kill me for that. WHISTLE is still in a dating ban and even if we aren't, it's not like it's easy to be associated with some famous idol. It's like you and him against the world.

Also, I've had enough drama even from my trainee days, I don't want to experience another.

It was when I did a featuring for one of our senior that I was swept up with bullying rumors. I cried for weeks and the girls kept on consoling me. I'm just so thankful it was properly dealt with and I have a lot of friends who were there to make me feel better.

My mom was so worried and she asked me if I wanted to continue being an idol and I said yes. I've trained so hard for this and I know I'd probably face a few more scandals and challenges but who cares? I should know myself better than anyone else.

But then again sometimes, there are things about your own self that you yourself is unaware of and only the closest towards you notices.

And then I was startled when I heard my phone beep.

A long sigh escaped my lips. It's probably one of my friends, or maybe Naia. We agreed to hang out one of these days. I should be happy but the image of my cap keeps flashing in my mind that I always end up getting in low spirits.

With little interest, I slowly reached for my phone that was resting on my bedside table, not even bothering to move from being sprawled on my soft bed. And soon as I opened the message, my eyes widened and I felt the rush of adrenaline eating me alive.

Unknown: Hey GUCCI :)

Immediately, my body bolted up from my bed, sitting with my legs crossed, my hands immediately tapping to type a response.

Me: Please tell me you did not do anything bad to my baby, I'm begging you.

I was already able to hit send when I remember that I did not bother speaking to him formally.

Me: I mean; can I have my cap back?

I bite my lower lip. Anyone can see through my poor attempt into trying not to be too disrespectful but hey, I had been too anxious for two days. The least thing I could do is to spare him from my wrath because honestly speaking, I had never in my lifetime wanted to hate someone until now.

So what if he looks handsome as f**k?

It will be too petty of me if I'd say I'm acting like these just because it was GUCCI, I was anxious because it has a sentimental value, a gift that I cherish among all of my possession. But I don't need to tell him that because he probably won't understand anyway.

Unknown: Wow, you calling me seemed force Maxie. Should I keep your beloved cap instead? *grins You know I love GUCCI, oh wait, you're GUCCI.

A low growl escaped my lips.

"This b***h," I grunted. I knew he was trouble the first time I laid my eyes on him. Does he think it would be fun to mess with me like this?

But somehow, I knew deep inside that it was partly my fault for being enthralled by his boxy smile the first time so ever since that day, I had sworn not to pay attention with anything that relates to that wicked man.

Me: No. I'm sorry I got too comfortable in speaking towards you.

"Calm down Max. At least you got his number," I whispered to myself and if someone sees me, they'll think I was texting with my boyfriend because I was too focused on waiting for his reply.

Unknown: How did you even know it was me? By the way, call me, my GUCCI ?

"Arrrghhhh!" A frustrated sigh escaped me as I lay my body back on the bed. Exchanging messages with him feels so tiring and it wasn't even a good five minutes.

"Of course I'd know it was you, i***t. You called me GUCCI. And what do you mean? Like I'd call you that," I started ranting once again. I would have sent that as a response but I stopped myself.

But then I started typing something different.

Me: Of course. I was actually waiting for your message since you've accidentally taken my cap. How can I get it back?

I told him and I cringed at the sight of my message. It felt so weird telling those words to him. I mean, Sky is definitely attractive but that's just that. Attraction isn't the only answer to everything.

It has been five minutes and he hasn't replied.

Lord, give me enough patience for this mane, please. I whispered.

The next message I received made my jaw drop down straight on the floor.

Unknown: Suck my balls, baby.

What the f**k?

My blood boils in instant.

How dare he?

How did he even think about saying those words to a girl like me?

My inside was fuming and I have never felt so bothered like this all my life. I felt all my blood getting stuck on my heard and a realization hit me - Sky is a big-a*s jerk.

Before I knew it, I was typing furiously on my phone and just right after I hit send, his message comes in.

Unknown: Sorry, Max. That was Mono. I left my phone on the table and he thought I changed Seth's name to GUCCI. Sorry, really.

I felt my stomach churn.

Holy f**k. What did I just do?

I stared at the message that I just sent after I had gotten mad at him.

Me: Really? Prepare then because I'm going to crash those f*****g balls into pieces, you fucker!

Can someone kill me now?

Immediately, I started typing on my phone.

Me: Sorry, OMG.

I dropped my phone on my bed and grab the pillow near me before covering my face with it as I muffle a loud scream.

How can I ever show myself to him now after I had said those embarrassing words?

"Max, you are so stupid!!!!" I screeched on my bed as I started kicking an invisible Sky in the air.

What will he think of me now?

He'd probably think I was a pretty stuck-up b***h that is so full of herself.

"No...." I whispered almost crying.

But it isn't my fault that I got mad because of it right?

And then I heard another message and with hands shaking, I slowly took my cellphone once again, my other eye close as I take a sneak on what the message says.

Unknown: I didn't know you're that wild my Maxie. Anyways, if you're sorry and you want to have your cap back, meet me at the cafe near your dorm in ten minutes. I'll be waiting GUCCI. *winks

My mouth hangs wide open at his statement.

"Does he want to meet in a cafe at three in the afternoon? Is he actually insane?" I whispered to myself.

He's probably looking for trouble because there's no way we'll get away with seeing each other in broad daylight like this. Because I'm actually ninety percent sure that our face will both end up in front of every social media platforms two minutes after we step inside the cafe.

What is wrong with him?

As if he knew what I was thinking, I heard my phone beeping once again.

Unknown: I meant it, Max. I need your a*s here in ten minutes or say goodbye to your baby. BTW, for the record, I don't mind if you actually suck my balls, baby.

That's it. I'm going to kill you, Sky.
