CH: 26 TIME LEAP

SUMMARY OF PAST 1 MONTH

A month passed away since we started lived together, some things changed but some are still the same, after the day of my injury he started to drop me to the work and pick me too, he also joined his work again not too late, and had the same schedule as me, even though we had same timings we both leave the home 30 minutes earlier before work as we walked to our workplaces rather than going by bicycle or motorbike, his workplace was in opposite direction to mine but he still insist to drop me. We became closer to each other in this past one month we no more had that awkward feeling we had before when we did some work.

The thing which didn't change was even though we saved enough money we didn't buy a new bed for Jacob, because he didn't need one, as we got habitual of sleeping on the same bed, there were many times when we woke up and found each other's leg on us or sometimes we woke up cuddling each other but that became normal for us. In the past few days I started clinging to Jacob more and he usually gives me piggyback ride whenever I was so lazy to move. I became more open to him and shared my every thought with him and he was always ready to give me suggestions. Even though Jacob still had a lot of secrets which he never told me, I decided not to force them out. I noticed him hiding many things and staying quiet when I wanted to ask him something.

At my workplace, Krystal and we ended our fake relation just after the day when the guy was sent behind the bars. but after that she started suspecting me because she thought me and Jacob were in some sort of relationship as she always saw Jacob smiling towards me and he sometimes hugged me too after we said our BYE, during our departure. I denied the fact for a few days but I wasn't able to keep those feelings inside me for a long time so, in the end, I confessed my feelings about Jacob to her, I wasn't sure that what I was feeling was attraction or affection but Krystal confirmed it for me that it was none other than liking, and when I accepted it, for no reason she was happy like hell. She even started teasing me and Jacob when he came to pick me up or to drop me. I told her many times not to do that but she never listens to me and always did what she wanted to do. it was just a waste to convenience her for a work she hates or never want to do. She also motivated me to confess my feeling to him but I never did that but I wanted him to know what I felt so, rather than telling him I started expressing it not by words but by actions.

And that's not all in the past one month Eddie started coming to our house often, I don't know why but he always had some reason he almost visited 15 times in the past month and sometimes came to pick me too with Jacob when Jacob was tired because of work. I hated his presence around Jacob but I didn't have any other choice other than accepting him as my guest as he is the best friend of Jacob. They both seem too close because whenever he visited our home Jacob barely noticed me and always chatted with mason endlessly until I gave them a check on time. At once he made a request to stay at our home for the night but Jacob luckily denied it by saying we don't have an extra bed.

RECAP END

------

I woke up from my bed and took a deep breath in. As usual Jacob was holding my arm and one of the legs was placed on mine even though I was the one who clings around Jacob but when it comes to sleeping he is the one who likes to cuddle the most while sleeping. I smiled and gently placed his leg away so that I don't disturb his sleep. After I did it successfully, I headed towards the cupboard to pick up my towel and my clothes. I opened the cupboard and took out my undergarment, a plain t-shirt, short pants, and a towel, and started moving towards the bathroom. I opened the door when I felt a pair of hands slid on my waist, I knew it was Jacob so I tilted my head so that I can see his face, his head was lying on my shoulder and he said,

"Won't you go for jogging today?"

"No I won't? You are seriously asking me this hyung?" I spoke in a taunting but gentle way

"But why?" he asked me innocently while rubbing his face on my neck. My heart was beating so fast and I gulped as I felt his hot breath on my neck.

"Seriously hyung, it's all because of you," I said still maintain my composure.

He lifted his head and said, "But what I did?"

I facepalmed and said, "you were such an animal yesterday and didn't spare me too, just because you were energetic you dragged me in too, can you believe you just did 5 round without stopping."

"So what Mason?"

"How can you do that just because you downloaded a pedometer, which gives you money according to your steps you ran 5 rounds from 1st floor to 7th floor without a break and forced me to do it so too? And as a result my every muscle is stiff right now; thank god it is Sunday today otherwise I would have died if I had to go to work."

"Ohk... ok... I will massage your body as a repay okay?" he said and ran inside the bathroom and locked the door before I could react. I stood there with the clothes in my hand. "AAAAH... HYUNG WHY YOU DID THAT? I WANTED TO GO FIRST."

"It was an emergency mason." He spoke from inside the washroom.

I started beating my head and sat on the bed waiting for him to come out, I was annoyed by that action but I couldn't be annoyed with Jacob no matter how much I try to do that.

After around 10 minutes he came out of the bathroom and smiled looking at me and said "thank you mason.", and winked at me while I was still sitting on the bed placing one leg on another. I made an annoyed face and ran inside the washroom as I was feeling very stick and wanted an instant bath.

I quickly took a bath in around 15 minutes and after wearing clothes I went outside the washroom rubbing my wet hair from the towel and saw Jacob was sleeping on the bed, that what he is he is a pure lazy person who can sleep at any hour of the day, but when he works he don't care about time and only leave it after it is perfectly finished. He is a quite dedicating person when it comes to work.

I went near him and threw my towel on his face to disturb him from his sleep; but that didn't bother him at all he was still sleeping as if nothing happened. I picked up my towel and again did the same but this time also there was no reply he was still sleeping.it was bothering me that he was not disturbed by my actions. I quickly ran into the washroom to fill up a mug with water and I carefully held the mug so that the water doesn't spill on me, and went near the bed.

But when I went there Jacob wasn't there I looked for him here and there and suddenly I heard a loud voice, "BOO", and someone jumped on me that someone was none other than Jacob and that caused my hands to tremble and the water spilled on me, which wasn't my plan at all. I was all wet and the worst thing was I just took a bath and I was all wet again.

"HYUNG!!" I shouted as I heard him laughing loudly. I turned back to see Jacob who was on the ground laughing loudly while holding his belly with his hands.

"It's an Indian phrase mason, you always fall in the pit you dug for others." He said while holding his laugh, I went near him and said, "Hyung you are a bad elder." "Who said I'm an elder I'm just 2 years older than you." He said and I shook my head because I realized it was my entire fault to play a silly game.
