It takes me a long time to quiet down. Then it suddenly occurs to me that my eyes are all red and puffed. Feeling embarrassed, I slightly push him away.

 

“Can you not look?” I said in a whisper.

 

“Your eyes are what you are worried about?” Great, the sarcastic version of him is back.

 

I heave a long sign and groan, “Please let me know if you are going to begin the judging. So I can be prepared.”

 

He glares at me. But I’m not afraid. Somehow his angry face makes me want to laugh.

 

“Glad to entertain you.” He taunts.

 

“…Sorry.” I manage to push my lips down, “How did you find me?”

 

He signs. “Your mom called me. I don’t think you would take the taxi. And there’s only one bus stop near the house. So I followed the route, searched every bus stop.”

 

My heart twitches with guilt. What I did was childish. And he’s right, if he didn’t get here in time, something horrible could have happened.

 

“Maybe I should call mom.” I stutter.

 

I know I should call her and put her mind at ease. But my head is still a complete chaos and it’s terrifying just thinking how she would react to tonight’s event.

 

Eason notices my reluctant. “I can call her. If you don’t want to.”

 

“Really? You would do that?”

 

“Sure.” He shrugs, “I’ve done you two big favors today. Why not make it a third?”

 

I laugh and I know he’s right.

 

He walks away to make a quick phone call. Moments later he comes back, and I am nervous.

 

“What did she say?” I ask, “You didn’t tell her about the—about what happened did you?”

 

“No. She just asked me to keep you safe.”

 

I’m relieved. I can deal with mom and whatever she has to say tomorrow. Tonight I’ll be fine.
