I feel myself starting to melt from everyone's stares so I glanced up at him but he showed no care about it and just looked straight ahead. I suddenly looked at the space between us. We're too close therefore I moved a bit far from him. I thought that he wouldn't care too but I was wrong, he noticed it and moved closer to me instead.

I was about to distance myself from him again when he ordered me in his deep and strong voice, "don't."

"But..."

"Don't listen to them. Listen to me." He said softly.

I bit my lower lip and followed him. We stayed silent until we reached the supermarket. He faced me and said,

"You know what you'll be searching for. I'll take care of the rest. Just hurry up and I'll meet you at the counter." He reminded me and left early by myself.

I got a cart and started searching for the ingredients that I'll be needing in baking cupcakes.
