Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Rejection.

HE took my hand and walked away from the person he was talking to, we stopped at the other cottage. He let go of my hand and faced me. The smile on his face lately was gone, it changed into a serious face, I wondered why.

"You need me for what?" He asks. I took a deep breath before I opened my mouth.

"For my painting" I answered.

"So you are a painter" he mentioned. I was about to correct him but he said something. "Much better than a doctor".

I was stunned by what he said. Did he know that I'm a doctor or he doesn't like doctors? I asked him "You don't like doctors?"

He just shrugged, Something that he doesn't want to talk about. Should I answer yes I'm a painter or tell him I'm a doctor?

"Doctors are not good" he brokenly said. His answer makes it clear that he doesn't like doctors. So if I tell him that I am he won't agree with what I asked of him.

"I'm not a doctor, yes I'm a painter," I answered directly. I was like I didn't care if he believed me or not, it was just I followed what my head says even if it was a lie. Yes, I lied.

He looked at me doubting if I'm telling the truth.

Damn! You should indeed lie to get what you want, there are no other options and it was my fault, I asked him a favor without knowing he doesn't like doctors, but why? my mind wants to explode!

"No" he brokenly answers again. What does he mean no? "After what you did, now you tell me you need me for your painting, did you expect me to say yes just like that? Do you think it was easy for you to make me say yes?" he continued. Yeah, he has a point, did I really expect him to say yes? I just ran to him without thinking of any consequence, did I that positive to get his yes?

"Yes! I did not run to you if I doubted you. I need you and I will do anything to get you for my painting Trevon" I dare to say. His eyes narrowed at what he heard then he smirked.

"Let's see" he just said. He started to move his feet and walked away, he left me stunned with his response.

Does it mean, he will see how far I can go?

"WOW! too stunned to speak" Kyn's reaction after telling her what happened earlier. We are at my room, kyn immediately pulled me into my room once we reached home. "Seriously Cassie? The person you chased was Trevon, it was Trevon" She protested.

"I hear you"

"No, you don't! You don't hear me! I told you earlier to stay away from him, he is a troublemaker, what if something happens to you? Oh! I regret bringing you there" kyn continued to protest.

I know kyn was just concerned about me but I am here to pursue my dream and this is the only way to get my chance.

"kyn I know you are concerned, but I strongly feel he is the missing part of my painting and I can see in his face he is not that the way you think of him" my response.

"Why? Because he has a good face? Cassie, it's just a trap, if you keep doing that you might fall into his trap, I am just reminding you" she reminded. I took kyn's hand to make Her feel that I'm ok.

"I can handle myself kyn, trust me," I said with a smile on my face.

"I know you can handle yourself, but still, you are now our responsibility."

"I know Trevon is not that bad, if he is then deve shouldn't go with him," I explained.

Kyn did not say a word but she nods, you can read on her face that she believes me. She knows who I am and I know kyn doesn't want to interfere with my plan for my dreams, she doesn't want to act like my mother.

******

I WOKE UP early for the possibility that I will get Trevon today. In the mirror where I see myself combing my hair after I get dressed, wearing a khaki skirt, Pusha pink tops that have a strap with nude flat shoes. I caught myself doubting if Trevon would agree, if not, it will be hard for me to find something different for my painting.

I took a deep breath when I realized the beginning is the hardest of all, the only options are if you are willing to continue or to give up and sometimes you are stuck in the center which you can't decide but to change your direction where your feet will take you. In the end, you will meet the word, "Regret".

"Well, I hope you will get Trevon," said kyn as I went down the stairs. She was kinda supportive like she don't have a choice but she have to.

"Why does it sounds like I'm obsessed with him?" I asked cringing.

"Well you are, my cousin" kyn teased me.

"No, I'm not! I'm doing this just for my painting, that's it!" I protest as I reach the ground floor. Kyn came closer and whispered.

"We can never tell" she followed those words before she walked away from me while grinning.

No! It's just for my painting and nothing else, how could she think that way?

When I got to the beach I saw Deve cleaning every cottage. Ah, I remembered he told me that he is a part-timer here, I quickly went to him.

"Deve" I called his name. Deve quickly turned to see who was calling him until he saw me.

"Cassie you came back! did you get hung up yesterday and do you want to go swimming again today?" he led it first.

"Ah no, I'm here to see Trevon," I said directly. Deve's reaction was unbelievable. I think kyn hasn't told deve everything yet and that's why I trust kyn so much.

"he is over there" he pointed his finger at the place where Trevon is and there I saw Trevon just got out of the sea.

I don't know why everything seems to be in slow motion as my eyes were magnetized from his body up to his beautiful face, and when Trevon met my eyes I felt like waking up to reality, I immediately took my eyes back from him. When he got close to us he suddenly faced me and answer." No!" he said.

My eyes widened at his answer that I hadn't asked yet, he seemed to know immediately what I went for, then he was about to leave.

"I will pay you." My response. He stopped and immediately turned to me. Still, deve's reaction was unbelievable and confused.

"I don't need your money" he stubbornly said.

"I think I need to leave 'cause I still have work to do, bye" deve's consent.

We couldn't answer deve because our eyes did not seem to want to let go so he left voluntarily.

"Then tell me what I have to do to get you to agree" I pleased. He looked at me from head to toe which changed my face into confusion, then his eyes went back to meet mine.

"Will you give if I say your body is what I want?" He said. And I was disappointed by what he said.

My hand automatically dumped into his face, and his cheek flushed quickly.

"If it was not for my painting, I wouldn't chase you. Instead, I swallowed my pride just for my dream." Explained to him my emotions. I walked out with a heavy heart that I shouldn't feel, I just felt rejected by a guy I just met recently.

Why do I feel ashamed of myself?

******

"SEE, I told you! Trevon is a scumbag!" kyn said on the phone feeling dismayed. She was at the college school and I expected her reaction and comments about it. I switch on my cellphone to call her but I ignored those messages that kept coming.

Auntie and uncle were not home either, Auntie was in a flower shop and uncle was at work. I was the only one left here in their house. Later, I'll go to the flower shop to help auntie.

After kyn lectured me as if she is older than me she hung up the line, I bet her professor came. I off my cellphone then I sighed. Gosh! I don't know what to do now, after I slapped him I know he will never agree to what I asked for.

But why do I need to feel guilty? He verbally harassed me so he deserved to be slapped. I stopped overthinking when someone knocked on the door. I guess it was auntie Jen so abruptly stood up and open the door.

I was surprised and could not believe what my eyes saw at that moment, maybe I'm just overthinking so I'm seeing what was impossible for my eyes to see.

It was Trevon in front of me gazing at me.
