Hellbound With You – Chapter 5
Chapter 5 I want him
“Wow, this is unbelievable. Who is he? Who is this man that caught my dearest Abi’s eyes? Huh?” Kelly was so excited.
“Actually, I failed to get his name. All I know is that his surname is Qin,” Abigail replied, making Kelly pout, but she quickly bounced back to excitement and asked how and where she had seen him.
Abigail told her she saw the man in the garage of Kelly’s apartment building last night. She didn’t mention the drama she witnessed or the outrageous thing she did.
“That man is… he is super handsome. I wonder if he’s some kind of celebrity. But I don’t think he’s one, or I would know about him.”
“Wow, now I’m dying with curiosity. This is the first time you praised a man’s looks, you know?”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Hello… you really haven’t cared about men before, Abi! You don’t even look at them! Okay, so? What are you gonna do about this super handsome, Mr. Qin?”
Kelly’s brow lifted. She was more animated than Abigail, clearly intrigued.
Abigail looked down at her hand wrapped around the lemonade bottle, considering something important while her friend waited impatiently.
“I…” Abigail started, looking up seriously. “I want him to be my boyfriend.”
For a moment, Kelly gaped. Shock crossed her face, but then a huge, bright smile curved up.
“Okay! That’s my girl! You’re finally taking my advice. My innocent bun finally learned to become daring!”
Kelly was happy, proud like a mother witnessing her child take their first steps.
“Kelly, I want to impress him, so I want to ask you to—”
“Darling… leave it to me. I promise to dress you up and turn you into the most stunning woman on Earth!”
After their talk, Abigail told Kelly she would contact her once she decided to meet him. Kelly offered help, but Abigail insisted she had to learn to do it herself, making her friend beam happily again.
“Okay, just call me if you need help, okay? And about your outfit, don’t worry. I’ll make sure that handsome man falls in love with you at first sight,” Kelly promised before they parted.
Abigail didn’t tell her friend that she wasn’t trying to make him fall for her. She didn’t mention that he was heartless and cold, that he said he didn’t like her, or that he was dangerous. She knew Kelly would go against her choice if she found out about this strange and mysterious man.
It was already dark when she arrived home. Her family waited, and they all ate dinner together.
Once in her room, Abigail took the piece of paper from her drawer, stared at the number, and typed it into her phone.
