We should Breakup?

Author's POV

It was Sunday, just a day since the underground race. Adrian was restless. The memory of the girl with those eyes haunted him like a sweet curse. He had already ordered his assistant to pull up the details of every single person present that night. He needed to find her.

Meanwhile, Aurora had no idea that someone was losing his mind over her. She was too excited about her own plans—today she was finally going to buy her favorite art supplies. That always brought her peace.

Completely unaware that she had unknowingly become someone’s obsession, Aurora hummed happily as she got ready. She wore her baggy blue jeans with a black hoodie—black was her favorite color. Her silky black hair was tied into a messy bun, a little tinted lip balm glossed her lips, and she grabbed her black shoulder bag. Before stepping out, she tucked her decorated black diary inside—a seaside painting she had done on its cover.

She opened it and scribbled her plan:

“Yes, today is the day I will treat myself. First, I’ll get my favorite strawberry shake, then I’ll head to the art store.”

Her mood was light, innocent, carefree.

Out in the living room, Lena was lounging on the couch in pajamas, watching TV.

“Lena, I’m taking your car. Don’t wait for me for dinner, and don’t forget to eat on time.” Aurora said as she slipped on her shoes. “And don’t just laze around—finish your work too!”

“Okay, okay babe, don’t worry,” Lena chuckled. “I’ll eat, I’ll work. Drive safe. Love you!”

“Silly,” Aurora giggled before heading out.

On the other side of the city, Adrian was getting ready for Dylan’s house party. His mother had invited him, and he couldn’t refuse. He wore black jeans and a fitted black T-shirt that showed off his muscles. His hair was perfectly set, his aura dangerously captivating.

“I hope I meet her soon… she’s driving me crazy,” he muttered under his breath, sliding on his helmet before mounting his bike.

Fate had its own plan.

At a traffic signal, Aurora’s car stopped—and right beside it, a biker pulled up. The hum of his engine drew her attention. When she turned her head, her eyes landed on him. Adrian.

A strange pull tugged at him the moment their eyes met again. He lifted his visor slightly, his green eyes piercing into hers.

Aurora, being playful and oblivious, smirked and said,

“I think we should break up.”

Adrian’s brows furrowed. For a second, he was stunned. Then, in a low, commanding tone, he said each word deliberately:

“Take. That. Back.”

The light turned green, and they moved. Aurora blinked in surprise. Was he serious? Or just messing with her too? She shrugged it off, thinking maybe that’s how bikers acted—what did she know? It was her first time around someone like that.

But fate wasn’t done. At the very next signal, they stopped side by side again. He turned his head towards her, his voice low but firm.

“Take it back.”

Aurora chuckled nervously, raising her hands in mock surrender.

“Okay, okay… this time, I’ll take it back.”

The biker’s lips curved slightly, but he said nothing more.

Aurora continued her day as planned. She went to her favorite café and ordered her strawberry shake. Just as she was about to pay, the biker appeared, casually sliding money across the counter before she could react. By the time she turned around to say something, he was gone.

Confused, but shrugging it off, she headed to the art store. Every aisle filled her with joy—copic markers, acrylics, brushes. She was so absorbed in her little world that she didn’t notice someone watching her every move, every smile.

At the counter, just as she pulled out her wallet, he paid again.

This time, Aurora had had enough. She hurried after him, catching him before he could leave.

“Hey—why did you pay for me again? You’ve been doing this since the signal! Why are you following me? Who even are you?” she blurted, her words tumbling out in a rush.

Adrian turned slightly, a low chuckle escaping him.

“Is it stalking when you know I’m behind you, baby girl?”

Aurora froze, her mouth opening but no words coming out.

“Adrian,” he said finally, his voice deep. “My name is Adrian, baby girl. What’s yours?”

“What does my name have to do with you?” she shot back, trying to sound firm.

Before he could reply, his eyes fell on the keychain dangling from her bag. One word glimmered there—Aurora.

“Aurora…” he whispered with a smirk. “Beautiful name. But you shouldn’t put it on a keychain, baby girl. Makes it too easy for strangers.”

Aurora flushed, quickly masking her embarrassment with a glare.

“Whatever, mister. Let me pay you back. I don’t like others paying for me. At the signal I was joking.”

“Ohh?” His lips curved into a slow grin. “You want to pay me back? Then give me your number. I’ll collect later.”

Aurora rolled her eyes. “Nice way to ask for a number.”

“You’re the one who insisted on paying me back.”

Speechless, she sighed and muttered, “Yeah, yeah… whatever. Give me your phone.”

She quickly typed in her number and shoved the phone back at him.

“Here.”

“Thank you, baby girl,” he said smoothly, before surprising her—he lifted her hand and kissed the back of it. Then he mounted his bike, revved the engine, and rode away.

Aurora stood frozen, staring at her hand.

“Why… why did he kiss me like that? What a strange man…” She shook her head, but a small smile crept onto her lips. “Not gonna lie though… he was so handsome. And those green eyes…”

Shaking off the thought, she loaded her bags into the car.

“Whatever. I’m craving something spicy. I’ll eat and head home—it’s already evening.”

She drove off, not realizing that another pair of eyes had been watching her closely.

“I see you finally have a weakness… Let’s see how you protect her.”

Who that was—no one knew. But time always reveals its truths.
