He teases her a little more and goes his own way for his actual purpose, looking for his ball. After all he couldn't find it and afraids to loose the way as well. So he decides to go back. When he's walking around the place he saw that girl, he wonders if he'll see her again.. His wonder doesn't last long. He heards talking voices and sees her but she's not alone... There are two other guys talking with her, they seem to argue. He looks more carefully and notices the guys. he knows them, at least he heard of them. They're not good people.
He recognizes them as some of the troublesome guys who are known for their bad behavior. He remember hearing rumors about them getting involved in fighting and drug dealing more than one time. A chill goes down his spine when he see them talking to her. Could they be trying to harass her? He remembers what she said earlier about this place being dangerous, as well as the fact that she was all alone just now.
He decides to go and help her with them. So he intrupts them. he's standing close to the girl.
The troublesome guys seem surprised by hjs sudden interruption. One of them looks over at him and glares at you in a threatening tone.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, man? This is none of your business."
He says angrily as the other guy grabs her arm and pulls her further away from you. He knows that you're outnumbered and that these guys are clearly trouble. So he needs to find a way to handle the situation.
She aggressively pulls her arm back. "I swear to God if you ever touch me again with that dirty hands of yours..."
The guy who grabbed her arm snickers and he lets go of her arm. Clearly, he doesn't really care about what she says. The other guy seems a bit concerned but only slightly. The first guy glares at her again before he turns his attention to Ouzou.
"Who the hell are you and what do you think you're doing, interfering with our conversation, huh?"
She also looks at him with curiousity as he thinks of a solution. What could he do?... The only idea that comes to his mind is... to tell them he's her boyfriend...
The idea crosses his mind as he's put into a pretty tight situation. They seem to be waiting for his answer, which only puts even more pressure onto him. So he decides to say a quick lie to get them off your and the girl's back.
"She's my girlfriend, now back off."
Her eyes widens with an actual shock. She can't hold back her gasp.
"There, there.. our little soliatire made a boyfriend? no way!" One of troublesomes says and they both laugh.
They laugh at the idea of Ouzou and the girl being in a relationship, clearly not believing it for one second. A little bit of anger boils up inside of him, but he also tries and keeps his emotions under control. He decidea to stick with his story and trying to back it up with a small lie.
"We've been on a few dates already. So back off, you pervs."
"Is he your boyfriend?" The other guy asks to her. She keeps quiet then says
"What does this have to do with you?"
"Prove you're her boyfriend." The guy says to Ouzou.
He has his heart beating faster and his mind on panic mode. He's not really good with lies or coming up with quick responses. But he also doesn't want these guys to call his bluff and go after you again.
"How am I supposed to prove that I'm her boyfriend? You want me to make out with her in front of you perverts?"
"You better do before me."
"Try it and see what you get thunder dick!!" She shouts to troublesome guys.
Meanwhile Ouzou thinks of what to do. if he kiss her will everything end? The thought of you kissing her as a way to shut them up crosses his mind. It may be a good way to prove a point and to stop them from harassing her. But how does he know she will actually let him do it? Should he just go for it?
He acts on impulse and before he can even think of how awkward this could turn out, he grabs her and you brings her close to him. He looks at her face, seeing that she still has her arms down. So without delay, he leans forward and kiss her. He has no idea how she'll react to this, hoping that she'll return your kiss. He keeps his kiss brief just in case she pushes you away.
She understands what he tries to do so she plays along and kiss him back.. When they're about the break the kiss she bites down his lips but hides it. When they broke the kiss, he can say she's going to kill him for this just by looking her eyes. Troublemakers look amused.
"Common darling, let's go already."
He says and raises his hand to her and she looks at him then looks back to troublemakers. She's quite in hesitation. After a while she takes his hand and they make their own way.
They walk in silince for a while and when they're out that street and completely away from the troublemakers she pulls her hand back and punches him on the shoulder pretty hard.
"what are you doing??" She remarks in a whispering tone since it's night
The painful hit to the right shoulder takes him by surprise. He doesn't expect her to hit him, especially after all he went through to try and protect her from the troublesome thugs.
"What do you mean? I was just trying to protect you!"
"Who told you to protect me at the first place??"
"Come on, don't tell me you actually liked those troublemakers cat-calling you and trying to harass you. They're known to be dangerous, and they were clearly trying to bother you."
"Yeah... but.. i could've avoided them myself."
"I know you could have handled yourself well...but I didn't want them messing with you and making you uncomfortable. I... I just wanted to protect you."
Her expression softens. "Thank you..."
"You're welcome...but uh...you don't mind that I kissed you, do you? I know you bit me too, but...y'know, that was my fault for forcing you to come close to me to prove we were a couple.."
"Uhm-... I can see that you just wanted to help me but.. kissing me was crazy dude.."
"I know I probably went a little too far with that, but I just...I wanted to make those guys think that I'm your boyfriend so they'll get off your back and leave you alone..."
She smiles. "I see..."
Her smile has his heart skipping a beat again. He's glad she understood you're intent and that she's not mad at you for taking such a drastic measure as kissing her.
"Well, uhmm.. it's time to goodbye now.."
"Wait- is your house nearby that street?"
"Yes.."
"Then no way! no way you're going back again tonight."
"W-what?? Where I'm suppose to go then??"
"You could come stay at my place tonight. It's closer... I don't want you to deal with more trouble all by yourself."
"I don't even know your name!!!!"
"Oh, um, my bad. You can just call me Ouzou. I didn't introduce myself before because of the whole situation back there. And I forgot to ask your name earlier ..."
"I'm Arya."
"Arya...that's a pretty name. Now that we're both properly introduced, we can head to my place now. Just follow me."
"I-ı just can't come with you.."
"But I can't just let you to go back there. If you try.. then I'll snick around and follow you like a pain in your ass. I bet you wouldn't want it, would you?"
"You're being a pain in my ass right now, too.."
"Does this mean you're coming with me?"
"There's no escape from you, it seems.. Your family, though. what would they say?"
"They're not at home. It's just me... and my brothers."
"Your brothers?..."
