014

It's already dark when we stopped watching movies. We were called for dinner, my mom wasn't around that's why we enjoyed our food together. The girls and I will go to my room after eating but before we went upstairs, someone grabbed my arm and pushed me to get near. I came face to face with Eros. A feet forward and my body will be crashed into his. One, two, three. I took a deep breath. I'm just nervous. Yeah. That's the reason why your heartbeat is almost deafening.

"Hey?" I faked a smile to hide the 'nervous' I had.

He chuckled "I just wanna say goodnight"

"Oh, good night"

"Good night" he smiled and let go of my arm. I ran upstairs and went straight to my room. I opened the lights of my bathroom and looked at the mirror. I looked flushed. I remembered what just happened. I shook off the thought and started brushing my teeth. Just then it struck me, I didn't brushed my teeth yet! Did he smelled the dinner in my breath? Oh my gosh. Can't this ground just open and eat me up alive? I brushed 3 times with the thought of that.

After excessive brushing of my teeth, I went to the guest room We've decided to sleep here because it has 3 beds in it. When I entered the room I saw them talking and laughing about something. I closed the door behind me and their heads turned to my direction. "What?"

"Nothing" they said in unison but a smile is plastered on their faces. I just shrugged it off and sat on the bed in the middle.

"What happened?" Joanna asked. They both sat on my bed in front of me. I'm in indian sit and hugging my pillow.

"With what?"

"We're not blind. We saw how he pulled you to him. Did he kiss you?"

"You saw him pulling me?" I asked, shocked. Both nodded.

"Don't avoid Joanna's question. Did he kiss you?" Amy intrigued.

"No. He didn't!"

"Do I hear disappointment in your voice?"

"No! It's not like I expected anyways"

"If you say so~" Joanna said in a sing-song. They went to their bed and Amy dimmed the lights. We exchange goodnights. I fixed the blanket on me and closed my eyes but I can't sleep. I looked at the ceiling and counted sheep but it didn't helped me either. I stopped counting and just stared at it. I don't know how long I did that before I stood up. Both girls are sleeping peacefully.

I went to the pool and folded my pajama until my knees. I let my feet in the water. Maybe it will help me sleep later. I just looked at the water and found it relaxing. I felt someone touched my back. I got shocked by that and it made me fall in the pool. I panicked at first but I quickly swam to turn my body to its direction. When I resurfaced I saw Eros.

"You scared me!" I shouted at him. I swam to his direction and got myself out of the pool. "Now I'm all wet"

"Give me a minute. Stay there" he ran to nowhere. I don't know what's with me that I really sat on the bench and waited for him. He came back with things on his hands he even have a basket with him. "I thought you'll go inside" he wrapped a towel around me and gave the clothes he's holding. "Change using those. I can't go upstairs without your permission, so.. yeah"

I just nodded and went to the bathroom. My undies are wet but I got no choice but to discard them and wore everything that is in the basket. I folded my clothes and put all the wet ones in the basket. Thank goodness that his clothes are thick and he brought jacket. I got out and saw him sitting on the bench while looking at the water. It looks like he's drowned with a huge depth of thoughts he has in mind. I walked near him and he didn't even noticed me until I sat beside him and called his attention "Are you okay?"

He looked at me and forced a smile "Yeah"

"For a second I thought you're not just a character who popped out of my laptop" I laughed a little.

"W-what?" he stuttered

"You just look like you're contemplating about something. But don't worry, you really look too good to exist in this world"

"Are you lowkey telling me that you find me handsome?"

"I didn't say such thing!"

He laughed "You said and I quote 'you really look too good to exist in this world'"

"Did I?" I acted like I'm thinking "I can't remember"

"Fine. I'll just pretend that you didn't said anything. But let me tell you a secret" he motioned me to come closer and I did. "I don't forget anything. You can trust me on that one"

"Only on that one?" I moved my face away from him and looked at him. The lights from the pool illuminates his face which made his other half of face shadowed. He looked really handsome with this side of him. He looked serious.

"Yeah. You must not trust completely what you see and hear from me. I'm more complicated than you think I am"

I just laughed what he said. Never in my wildest dreams I thought of this serious Eros.

"Don't laugh at that. I'm serious here" he said and pouted. Then he became serious again. "I like you"

One, two, three. Here it is again. "Should I trust that what you just said is true?" I hopefully asked.

"It's actually up to you" he laughed.

"I'll trust everything you'll say. It'll be up to you if the way you act or what you'll say is whether true or not. I mean it'll not be my problem if you'll face the consequences of your actions and decisions"

"I'll definitely face whatever is going to be the repercussion for what I'm doing"

"I just hope I'm not the reason for anything that will cause you any harm"

"Just pray for me when that happens" he smiled. "Let's go. You might get sick"

He walked me to the stairs and once again told me "Good night"
