Chapter 7: The night
"Can you hold my hand and never let me go?" I saw Raze on bended knee infront of me.
W-what's happening?
"You change my life and I can't imagine the future without you" I can't understand.
That line sounds awful but since he's the one who spoke it sounds like it's the most romantic word I ever heard.
Why I feel this way?
I want to talk and ask him but my lips couldn't move.
He hold my hand and...
"WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" I scream out of my lungs because of fear.
That's a dream? Obviously Lorence! There's no way that he'll fall for you.
After that romantic scenario in the dreamland and I crazily dreamed about me that was chased by a pitbull.
I'm panting and sweaty.
What the hell!
Why is that the dreams were always involve a lot scenes?
Luckily, I didn't dream about ghost, monsters not sleep walking, that's the worst.
I go out to my room and head the kitchen, I need to drink water. A cold one.
"Goodness! IT'S ALREADY 1:30am?" I was wonder struck.
I enjoy watching the view outside first before turning on the light at the kitchen, it's pretty bright out there.
"??I climb every mountain, Swim every ocean... Just to be with you??" I sang while opening the fridge.
There's a lot of foods inside, arrgghh! ICE CREAM!
I suddenly crave when I see a lot. Argh!
I wanna have one but the owner is a demon and I'm scared.
I get a pitcher of water and pour in my glass.
I put back the pitcher, stopping myself the urge of getting the ice cream. Huhu! I want one.
After that I made the cup of coffee for myself since it's cold though I'm wearing PJ's.
My feet bring me outside at the metal table with 4 metal chairs.
It's wonderful but a silent breezy night.
I look at the sky and the stars were clear and beautifully shining.
I play a music and sing with it.
"?Could dress up, to get love but guess what? I'm never gonna be that girl. Who's living in a barbie world~"
"Your voice sucks!" a cold voice it was.
"You don't car-- WAAHHHH~ What are you doing?" I snort out while placing my palm right at my chest.
Why he suddenly appear? Is he a ghost? Aish! That's pretty scary.
Why he abruptly break into while I enjoy singing! How rude is he to ruin the moment. Huhu
"What are you doing? I saw you sleeping tightly earlier" He started again that makes me confuse.
"What did you just say?" I response, looking flustered as well as shame since he caught me singing like crazy.
"A-ah! I mean I thought you sleep tight since you didn't go out after our dinner." he alleged and what? Did he massage the tip of
his nose? What for? That's cute tho.
Yes! He did say 'our dinner' because everyone were eating together with him at his very long table.
We happily eat there but it's not happy to wash all the dishes though there's a machine, you know, the dishwasher.
"Sus! Is that to admit that 'Lorence I sneak into your room because I love you and I just want to check you out.' " I said and
change my voice like a kid.
I really love to tease him but I hate seeing his expression, it didn't change and I fail to make him laugh or smie at least.
"Tsk! overacting and effronteries chump!" he whisper.
"Why you're up?" he seriously asked.
"I had a dream and I saw you there. You're a monster and scary so I woke up trembling, sweaty and scareddd.
RAWWWRRRHHH!" I act like I'm scared and turns to a monster with my tiger like gesture.
That's funny because I laugh after while I saw Raze raise his brows.
"Why you can't appreciate a joke?" I repine out of annoyance.
He sigh hard that made me curious.
I grab the cup of coffee and take a sip before my mind blown away because of wondering who really was the man that stood in
front of me now.
It's pretty awkward, I'm in front of the boss who's topless and I really notice it late.
"Ahem! ah! I think I need to get inside, it's cold." I excuse and finished up the coffee.
??I found a love for me
Darling, just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
Darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, we're listenin' to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home??
Perfect by Ed Sheeran
The music makes me shiver and make my heart thump like I'm watching my favorite anime.
I'm about to leave when he grab my left hand, the reason why I stop.
"W-what?" I stuttered, still, I'm not looking at his direction or else I'll get disturbed again.
"Can you play another role tonight?" his voice were husky, huh? His voice turns different this time. How can he do that?
"W-what's that Raze?" I stuttered but I try to act like mettled.
"I need someone to talk to" conserve?
I look at him while my brows were crossed and curiously carved on my face.
"I'll pay!" he added and let go my hand. Is he serious?
He talk to me like I never did something embarrassing infront of his face.
I smile after I recover from his sudden claim.
"No need to pay Raze." I said and sat at the chair back.
"Why you're here?" he asked like he returnnto his snob body.
"WHAT THE HELL! Are you crazy?" I yell! Of course he let me stay, right?
"Sshh! Don't disturb the night creatures, you're so loud." he said and gesture me to shut up.
"I mean it's already 2:00 am!" Oh? time runs that fast?
Heck! but I'm not sleepy yet.
"I told you, I had a dream!" I replied and again, I look away.
"I see!" he sounds bored.
??Talk
Let's have conversations in the dark
World is sleeping, I'm awake with you
With you
Watch
Movies that we've both already seen
I ain't even looking at the screen, it's true
I got my eyes on you
And you say that you're not worth it
You get hung up on your flaws
Well, in my eyes you are perfect
As you are
I will never try to change you, change you
I will always want the same you, same you
Swear on everything I pray to
That I won't break your heart
I'll be there when you get lonely, lonely
Keep the secrets that you told me, told me
And your love is all you owe me
And I won't break your heart
On
Sunday mornings we sleep-in 'til noon
Well, I can sleep forever next to you
Next to you
And we
We got places we both gotta be
But there ain't nothing I would rather do
Then blow off all my plans for you
And you say that you're not worth it
And get hung up on your flaws
But in my eyes you are perfect
As you are
As you are
I will never try to change you, change you
I will always want the same you, same you
Swear on everything I pray to
That I won't break your heart
I'll be there when you get lonely, lonely
Keep the secrets that you told me, told me
And your love is all you owe me
And I won't break your heart
When no one seems to notice
And your days, they seem so hard
My darling, you should know this
My love is everywhere you are
I will never try to change you, change you
I will always want the same you, same you
Swear on everything I pray to
That I won't break your heart
I'll be there when you get lonely, lonely
Keep the secrets that you told me, told me
And your love is all you owe me
And I won't break your heart
I won't break your heart??
No one tries to talk and I take a chance to look at him.
He's a dream guy and now I felt that he's not who he was only first impression.
He looks so strong, cold and superior but when he look at me and it's too late to look away. His look pierced into my eyes, he
seems so weak, fragile and problematic.
"A-ahm! Where's your shirt?" I'm trying to have a conversation, I don't know if that's a good question tho.
He flick looking at the waterfalls after.
I follow his gaze and there I see a neon shirt hanged in the plant.
He walk towards it and comeback wearing his shirt.
He looks so cool, his messy hair makes him more manly and his scent makes him more masculine.
"Why your emotion didn't change? That'll make you old easily." I said and give him a comforting smile.
I don't know but I feel comfortable in front of him.
He sigh and look at the stars.
"This is me, this made me more stronger, this made me being the authority, this is me being useless" he whisper the last part and
sigh again.
I can't understand but there's something that pinched my heart.
"Hey! look at me" I command but he just stare for 0.6 second and look away.
Damn! I stand and walk in front of him.
I cupped his soft face then I saw how perfect it is.
His sterling gray eyes sparks like the stars, his nose and his red lips were perfectly made, a masterpiece.
"A-ah! I mean! Don't look at the stars, you can't count them all. No one can." I excuse when I realized how embarrassing I did
was.
"I'm not planning to count them, you chump!" he said and move his lips that form a little smile. I did see it right? He's about to
smile lively? B-but? He did just forced it? I can read his mind. He's really unpredictable.
"Please don't stop yourself from doing something just because you think that's not the best not you're not for it." I said and look
around.
The place were perfect and spacious.
There's a fountain at the center of the loan, there's a colorful lights that makes the water looks like a dancing rainbow.
"Come on! Let's go there" he may be noticed that I'm looking at the fountain so he invite me.
I'm not planning to refuse tho, that beautiful lights can only be seen at night.
"Sure,why not!" I replied and walk beside him with excitement.
Only the music and crickets break the silence.
"Why you're alone here?" I curiously ask.
"Alone? There's a lot of us here" he replied
"I mean, family?"
"Everyone here is my family." that sounds sweet of him but that's not the answer of my question.
"Parents?" I added
"They have their own house, they come to visit here sometimes and I'm no longer a child. Remember that chump."
"Heck! I know what's the meaning of chump and that's st-- arggh! I mean why chump?" I complain while my brows suddenly
crossed.
"Because that's who you are!" he answer while looking at the fountain.
He looks serious again.
I pout " are you ungentleman?"
"What do you think?"
"I think so"
"You can see"
"Can you do me a favor?" I asked and look at him meaningfully.
"Drop it"
"How?" he look at me like he's a beast. How's that look?Rawr
"Just kidding, can you please let me see a smile?" well,that's kind of a dare.
"Worth 1k" I smile.
"Okey, at my first salary" I added and wink.
Suddenly, his lovely face glow as he smile, I saw his perfect white teeth and I can't stop myself to laugh.
Jackass.
"See, you're handsome 100×, can you please smile more often?"
"Then I'll look like crazy?"
"No, you'll look more like a king." I said.
"You're a bluff, let's get inside now" he said and walk first.
I smile and open my camera.
"Raze?" I call him and he fortunately look back.
Dang! Gotcha boy!
"What the heck?" he reacted when he realized that it's the glass of the camera.
"Ops, that's a flashlight" That's a tiny chance of a loophole.
I hurriedly check flashlight shortcut and show it to him.
He never mind and continue walking.
"Raze? I'm sorry about our first met, I know, I'm kinda rude!" I utter with shame while following behind him.
The music is still playing, ♪ You are the reason♪
He didn't respond until I left the cup in the kitchen.
"Oh? Why?" I questioned.
He's standing in front of my room, looking chill and sleepy.
"Good night" he said and suddenly left.
My ears turns hot and my cheeks, that's weird.
What's wrong with him? He's weird and unpredictable.
I can't understand, why my heart beats this way?
