We are already walking inside the supermarket and I was just like a bodyguard following her. I even offered to push the cart but she refused and quietly roam around to find everything she needs.
We were at the hygiene station, she was getting a napkin, not a table napkin but the one that every women use every month, when three young men approached her. I'm a bit far from her place so I can't seem to be acknowledging that I am with her. But I can still hear what these idiots are saying to my sister-in-law.
"Hey beautiful, are you alone?" one of the boys asked. And I was just like --are you stupid? So what am I –a stand here? Isn't it obvious that I am with her? I can't help but to say it on my mind.
I was just looking at them badly while waiting for Leysa's response but she did not answer or mind them at all that made me unconsciously smile. And just continued choosing the right sanitary napkin she wanted. But the young men still following her, what the f*ck!
"Can we have a lunch date after you bought your groceries?" one asked Leysa again, but she still ignored them.
"You know Miss beautiful, we already noticed you earlier. You got our attention, especially my attention, because you are really gorgeous and sexy. You are an epitome of beauty and hotness. You are the woman I am looking for. You are a girlfriend material - can I court you?" What a jerk! I was about to approach them to choo them away from my sister-in-law when Leysa spoke holding a pack of sanitary napkin.
"Can you buy a sanitary napkin for a woman? Even if you are ashamed of it and would trample your pride as a man?" she asked them and they just shrugged in denial.
"You can't, and then you have the desire to ask me if you can court me. What if I will need this? You won't buy me one, because what? Are you ashamed? So boys, study first before flirting, okay. Tsk."
I laughed at what Leysa just said and she put the selected sanitary napkin in the cart and left. And I followed her immediately but when I passed by the young men who were flirting with Leysa earlier, I stopped in front of them and spoke.
"Don't you dare come near her again, you dumbasses," I said and pointed Leysa who was already going far away from where we were.
