Chapter 04
"Now? Do you want me to go get groceries now?" Spencer asked in awe, "Baby, at this moment?"
"Yeah."
"But I still haven’t eaten breakfast." He said and she paused, she stopped rebutting and sighed again. "Fine." She brushed off his hand and proceeded on eating. Spencer scratched his brow, why is she acting like this today? Does she want his attention? What’s with the rebellious attitude?
After some time, they were ready to go to the university but Yanarym was still quiet. She never talked to him after he refused to buy some milk. Spencer was befuddled by her attitude, he couldn’t follow her sudden changes. She kissed him and demanded something. Now she’s ignoring him since he did not comply with her request. She was never like this, everything was so new for him. Although they’ve been together for years she never caused trouble for him. She was like a perfect girlfriend who acts like a doll beside him. Well, she didn’t really change. She still had her silent manner and soft behavior.
But her treatment towards him changed. She is acting like any other girl to their boyfriends. Right... she was being a girlfriend, a normal girlfriend. It’s new and refreshing but he doesn’t know what he should do. He never pleased any girls. Because they all please him. In Yanarym’s case, she may not have pleased him as anyone did, but she never cared too --- he couldn’t put it in words but them- she- specifically her, she was always formal with him. There was a boundary, limitations -- today, that wall was not there. Or maybe his girlfriend woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
"Do you want to stop at a convenience store to buy some milk?" He asked while driving his car on the highway. He took a glance at her but she remained to stare at the windshield acting like she did not hear him.
"Baby?" He called her once more yet she remained unmoved. He was preparing to call her again but he heard a small voice coming from her.
"No."
"What?"
"I said, no. Don’t bother anymore." She said, sounding irritable. Her brows were collided but still staring outside. She wasn’t throwing him a glance at all. He just saw her reflection on the windshield. He blinked his eyes, startled, then he tried to focus his attention on the road.
"Let’s buy it, okay? Why are you getting mad? If you want it just tell me." He uttered as he stopped the car on the red light, shifting his gaze towards her who remained in her unfazed the entire ride. "Baby, look at me." She scrammed his hand that touched her thigh, "Rym? We’ll buy it okay? Why are you so cranky?"
"I’m not mad, and I don’t want it anymore. Just drive." Her crankiness had worsened. She inserted an earphone on both of her ears and pressed her lips together, totally ignoring him. Spencer bit his lips with this treatment.
What’s wrong with her? She’s obviously mad. If she wants it, she could just say it and he will buy her one. But if she keeps this confusing act where she acts mad and says that she doesn’t want it when in fact she wants it--- see? His thoughts were not even making sense! Should he buy her one or not?
Spencer chose to drive straight to the university. He did not know what to do, he would just listen to her. This was the very first time she was angry at him... This never happened between them, normally, he was the one who was mad at her to control her.
Parking his car in his own parking spot Yanarym immediately got out without saying a word then slammed the door. Without waiting for him, she hastened her pace going to their building. For the third time, he did not know what to do! He unbuckled his seat belt then locked the car before running. It was not hard to chase after her, because they belong to the same class. Her every class- is his class too.
First year, first semester, they were classmates but after the semestral break, she enrolled without telling him and they were not in the same classes anymore. First year, second semester, by that time, they were already dating. Without him anywhere near her, she was surrounded by rascals who were taking advantage of her being a pushover. Some were flirting with her even if she was obviously rejecting them. He didn’t know until she started living with him. When he found out about that, he did not allow her to take a class without him. That leads them where they are today, on her schedule and every subject, they are always together.
He can fool around at night assuring that she was in his condo sleeping or doing her routines or stuff. In his territory, no one can touch her or take her away. It’s safe...
Reaching their classroom, he saw her sitting in their usual spot. She’s blankly staring outside the window, not talking to anybody. He sighed not knowing what to do next but managed to take a step inside. Everyone greeted him ’good morning’ and he just grinned at them in return. He put his bag above his table and sat beside her.
Yanarym did not make any movements or any sound, he rested his arm around her shoulder and she did not protest. A friend of his, who was sitting right in front of them, talked to him and he replied. The whole time, she did not look at him nor talked to him. The professor came, Spencer chose to remain silent but observed her throughout the period.
Hearing the dismissal, Yanarym simply took her bag. Spencer was busy talking to his friends, regarding the plan to go to the newly opened bar near the university. She did not even take a glance at him and just walked away without asking for his permission or saying goodbye.
After realizing Yanarym was not beside him anymore, Spencer said goodbye to his friends and went to the next class which will start 30 minutes after the first period’s dismissal. Yanarym was always waiting for him to finish interacting with people, regardless of how late they would get on their subjects, she would stay by his side and would not complain unless he was done talking. Was she mad because of the milk?
When he got on to their classroom, the first thing he noticed was she was not sitting in their usual spot but she was with some girls laughing and talking. His eyebrows knitted as he squinted his eyes, since when did she make friends? He walked toward her and boorishly interrupted their conversation.
"Hey, why are you sitting there?" He asked in a calm tone. Not minding the stares of the girls who were with his girlfriend. Yanarym did not even look at him but he did see how her smile turned to frown after he spoke.
"I just want to sit here." She replied, with a hint of annoyance in her voice. "Don’t mind me." Annoyed? She is annoyed? Spencer bit his lip.
"Baby, let’s go back to our ---"
"I want to sit here, Spencer." She cut him off then glared at him. It was then the awkward silence was brewed between them. People around them were stiff because of this dispute.
Spencer... that’s his name. But it sounded so strange coming from her. She never called him his name after they got together. Is she that mad? Why? Because of the fucking milk? No. That couldn’t be the reason, that was such a petty reason. Did she catch me last night? No. She knew about it. She never got mad about it. Then, why? ... is she planning to break up with him? No, she couldn’t live without him. He made sure that she wouldn’t be able to live without him. Where does her fierceness come from?
He gulped as he stared at her eyes, they were not dull, they were mad. She wasn’t looking at him with insensible eyes. She was peering at him with actual emotion.
"Okay." He nodded then shifted his eyes away. He cannot take her glaring stares. It’s like pointing a knife straight to his flesh. It irritatingly makes him anxious and disturbed. Those eyes never look at him like that. It never harbors negative emotions for him. It’s always grateful and loving... pleasing. What’s wrong? What made it so different today? He kept asking himself what he did wrong but couldn’t figure it out.
The three hours period was over in a flash, it’s already lunchtime. Spencer waited for her to say goodbye to her newly made friends. When she was done, he slowly approached her. Unlike earlier, she no longer looked mad when he reached out for her bag.
"Where do you want to eat lunch?" He asked as if nothing happened.
