BXBX NOVEL Chapter 31
Chapter 31: 31
“So, we both decided to let her sleep in your room since it was open and you’re not home yet.” Rin finally dropped the bomb.
I think all the hairs on my body dropped on the floor as I heard it. I’m also fearing for my life as they were.
“We were about to tell you that she’s there in you room but you can’t even hear us speaking, you’re dragging your feet as you walked inside. We thought you would wake her up and she would come out eventually so we went down to do our usual stuff.” Olivia said as she looked at the ground.
“But I slept as soon as my body hit the bed!” I told the two.
“You didn’t feel her next to you?” Rin asked.
I remembered the pillow I was hugging earlier and I’m losing feeling in my knees.
“I thought I was hugging a pillow but I immediately fell asleep!” I exclaimed.
The two blushed as they heard me. They just stared at me as their cheeks started to redden.
“You did nothing else then?” Rin asked.
“What are you thinking about?” I said.
“You know… that.” Rin said as she can’t look me in the eye.
“I’m telling you! I was immediately asleep since I was up all night guarding the store yesterday!” I said.
“I think my sister woke up before lunch because we saw her super red as she went to get us and then she interrogated me and Rin. You guys are actually hugging for hours! And you didn’t even know until now! Hahahaha!” Olivia started to die laughing while Rin was also red from holding her laughter.
What I didn’t say to them is that I was butt-n.a.k.e.d that whole time! As I was thinking of what to do, I heard a knock on the door behind me and I felt a dread the same as them as they stopped laughing.
“Your. Room. Now.” I heard behind and I hear footsteps slowly fading away. I waited for a while then I steeled myself and I walked slowly inside my room and closed it. I saw a silhouette of a familiar figure inside; it was still dark because the lights were off and because of my curtains. I closed the door behind me and I walked closer but I just felt a sharp pain hit my cheek.
*SLAP*
The sound resounded in the room and it almost echoed. I felt the stinging pain but I held it in. I was about to say something then I heard sobbing noises. I froze on the spot as I hear the figure continue on crying.
“I’m sorry…” that’s all that came out of me.
I saw the figure drew closer and I felt closed fists hammering towards my body. The pain is secondary and I really felt bad for what I did.
“I really need to tone it down sometimes…” I said to myself.
By this time, I must be an idiot if I can’t figure out what I did wrong. I held her tight as the same sensation before I fell asleep assaulted my senses.
“It was definitely her.” I said to myself.
We just stood there for a moment and I can faintly see her face due to the small lights that the slit on the side of the curtain let out. I sat her down and we talked while barely seeing each other. I tried to wipe the tears on her face with a towel but she slapped my hand off.
“Kaley, I’m really sorry about yesterday. I really thought it would be funny…” I said.
“Funny my ass, I-we almost rushed to the supermarket you know?” she replied.
“I won’t do it again, maybe tomorrow…” I joked.
*punch*
“Ouch! Kidding! I’m kidding ahaha…” I helplessly said while rubbing my shoulder.
“Do that again and I’ll shoot you with my rifle.” she said sternly.
*gulp*
“Are you serious?” I asked.
“I’m dead-ass serious.” she replied again.
“…” I was silent.
“You found your friend? They said you brought others too.” she said with a calmer tone.
“Yeah, his name’s Allan, I also invited Jenny, Susan, James, Chris and Charlotte. I met them at the supermarket, good folks. I also invited a guy named Juan but he went to find his family first.” I said.
“That’s definitely a good guy. Hope the others are too. Are you okay?” she replied.
“Yeah, I found something good too!” I exclaimed.
“What?” she said.
“Let me open the lights first.” I got up and turned around.
“What is it?” she asked again.
“Just wait!” I placed my hand on where I remember the switch is.
I opened the lights and I opened my dresser. I took out the box I took from the supermarket. It was a whole cake with white icing and it has strawberries on top of it. I removed the red ribbon from it and I laid it in front of her. Kaley was surprised and she gave a smile though there’s still a tinge of red in her eyes from crying.
“Tada! It’s already been sliced! You could see the plastic in the middle where it has been sliced, just lift here and we could it eat now! I brought a plate with a knife and a fork at the gym. Let me get it for a sec.” I said as I was about to open the door.
“Why did you have those at the gym?” she asked.
“Long story ahaha…” I said embarrassingly.
“Don’t get them, let’s just eat it with our hands.” she waved me over.
“You sure?” I confirmed.
“Yeah.” she replied.
“Here, sorry it’s a bit deformed. Must be from the pushcart.” I handed her the most perfect piece though it really is still deformed.
“No, it’s perfect.” she said as I took a bite of it.
“…” I just smiled and I closed the box.
She began eating the cake as I look at her. There’s still a tinge of red in her eyes and I see black circles under it.
“I’m sorry for the other thing too…” I said.
“…” she was silently eating the cake.
“I was really tired because I was up all night, I thought you were a pillow…” I explained.
“…” she was still silently eating the cake.
“Did I hug you too tight? I’m sorry I’m n.a.k.e.d when you woke up, they threw me at the pool when I arrived, I just removed all my clothes when I came in…” I added.
“…” still nothing from her.
“I promise I didn’t do anything… Kaley?” I tried to get her attention.
“…” she stopped eating.
I saw her place the half-eaten cake down and she stood up. She walked toward the door and as I thought she would come outside, she turned off the lights.
*click*
I heard the door being locked and I just heard, “Stop talking.”
She planted a huge kiss in my mouth as she pushed me down on the bed. I feel her body wrapping towards mine as she continued to kiss me. I tasted her sweet lips while our tongues interlocked. I wrapped my hands at her back as we continue, her chest is pushing against mine and our breaths are getting heavier.
