[8] Call Ended

"toot toot toot toot"

I can't move, my body was frozen. What would Reign do next? Would he become a total crazy psycho?... Because of me?

I hope Reign would not hurt Sophia, because if he will... then... I have no choice but to report him to the nearest Police Station... Can I?

"Sean, come on your Uncle Harold was here and the dinner is ready." Ethan shouted.

"O-Okay, I'll b-be there in a m-minute." I replied stuttering.

As we ate, Uncle Harold noticed that I was just playing with my food. "Sean, what's happenin' to you? Why are you playing with your food? Aren't you hungry? Or... Maybe you and Ethan had a fight or something?" He asked continuously.

I chuckled, "None of the above, Uncle. I just had some personal problems. Don't worry, I'm just not hungry." I replied.

"May I know what is it?" Ethan asked.

"I just said it, 'Personal' problems. Meaning it's not meant to be shared" I countered.

"Chill, okay okay. I understand." Ethan defended himself.

After we ate our dinner, I asked Ethan if I may not help him wash the dish wares as I'm not feelin' good.

He just said it was fine. Then I went upstairs to my room.

I remembered I didn't finish writing on my journal earlier. I tried to continue what I wrote, but I'm still affected by what happened. And it distracts me a bunch. So I ended up adding just a few.

No! Im not deceived by my thoughts! It's true. He didn't had to say 'You'll be mine, soon'. Because I'm already his, even before. I hope he wouldn't hurt Sophia. He doesn't need to hurt other people. Because again, I'm willing to be with him...

Forever.

I can't sleep, I felt like I was drowning with my own thoughts. And... you know it, Insomnia itself plus huge problems equals sleepless nights... or maybe sleepless weeks? I hope it wouldn't take that long.

Next morning, when I looked into the mirror, I saw big black Eye Bags! I was frustrated!

I thought when Ethan saw my eye bags, he would tease and laugh at me. But it turns out, he was worried and even tried to comfort me. And... honestly... it worked😊.

He told me that if I need someone to confide with, he was just here for me. But he just kept asking me why I had these huge black bags under my eyes so I just lied about having some small personal problems. Thanked God, he believed me 'haha'.

Days had come, Sophia did not called me nor Babi. So I thought she's safe now. Maybe things came back to normal, I say. I didn't have sleepless nights anymore. I don't have to be stressed by what would Reign do next, since he didn't make anyone troubled again.

Weeks passed by, Ethan and I grew very close and even Uncle Harold noticed it too. And he was happy to know that.

But... After half a year. Exactly six months after Reign threatened me to kill Sophia if I wouldn't tell me what's the address of my new place, there's an unknown number spammed texts on me.

"B"

"A"

"B"

"I"

I was shocked! I didn't know the number yet, but I know it was Reign. He was the only one called me 'Babi'.

The unknown number called me. When I answered, all I heard was... breathing noises.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Anybody there?"

I kept askin', but all I heard on the other line was just freaking breathin' noises. So I just ended the call.

When I was about to sleep, I got new text message again... from the unknown number earlier.

"You'll be mine, soon"

I screamed. Causing Ethan to wake uo, he ran so fast to my room to know what was happening.

"What was happening?" He asked gasping with air.

"I'm sorry I waked you up. I caused you troubles again." I answered as my tears started to fall. Everything in the past, it feels like yesterday.

"No, it's okay. But can you please tell me what was happening?" He asked me again.

"No, I'm fine" I lied. But he did not believe me this time.

"Of course you're not okay! Don't deny it!" He raised his voice. I was shocked.

He then hugged me and carried me to my bed. He even laid next to me. Is he baby sitting me right now??

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to raise my voice." He apologized. "It's okay, as long as you're not getting angry with me." I replied.

Then we both fell asleep.

When I woke up, there's no Ethan beside me. Is it a dream?

Ethan came to my room saying "And finally you're awake. May I ask why are you murmuring 'Babi' last night?"

So... It was not a dream!?! He slept with me last night!?!

"Oh, just forget about it." I said followed by a forced smile. We both went downstairs to kitchen so we can have our breakfast.

After we ate, I helped Ethan washing our dish wares. I accidentally dropped a spoon. We both kneeled down to get it and guess what? We ended up holding each other's hand. Why was he looking straight into my eyes?

He started to move his head closer to mine and...

He kissed me.

His kiss was intimate. He went down to my neck and at that moment, I felt I was dying as I felt chills all through my entire body... Damn, he's good.

He went back to my lips and without thinking, I was already kissing him back. Our lips were in sync and I could feel the hunger in his kiss.

'wait, what the heck am I doing?!'

I snapped out of it and broke the kiss as fast as I could. What was that?

"I'm sorry. I did not mean it, I really am sorry" I said.

"No, it was fine. I...I like you." He answered.
